What do you need those guidelines for?Backlava wrote:Hi,
The maintenance funds requirement caught me by surprise while I was preparing my application for extension under Tier 1 a week ago. There was no such rule 2 years back when I applied for initial HSMP application. I can not remember now what were the guidelines then for getting the extension after being 2 years on HSMP. Can I get hold of that guidelines document from somewhere or does anyone know about what the guidelines said?
Thanks
dude dont waste time looking for old guidelines. try and sort out the maintenance cuz thats the biggest reason of refusal. Still they are not asking for masters degree from OLD hsmpians otherwise it would have been a huge hue N cry.Backlava wrote:I would like to know, on what terms and conditions (in December 2006 guidelines when I applied for initial HSMP) the extension was promised. Has Home office broken those terms by forcing new rule of maintenance funds retrospectively to those already on HSMP and now need extension.
Thanks

It totally depends upon the case worker whether he gonna it or not.. But fingers cross as long as u mentioned in your letter i hope it wont create any problem.Backlava wrote:I sent Home Office the print out of my online bank statement and informed them through a covering letter that the original would be on its way in a few days after I have received it from the Bank. Does anyone think that this (sending the original after the application has been submitted) could cause refusal?

It is there now and that what really matters.
If you're wondering how come they do this, on Paragraph 88 the guideline says:
"From 08 November 2006, all applications for
HSMP extensions will be subject to the new points
scoring requirements detailed at Annex B,
regardless of the Rules that were in place at the
time of the applicant’s previous grant of leave
under HSMP."
What that means is that for extension you need to re-qualify under the existing rule, just because you qualify before it doesn't mean you qualify now.
