when was your application acknowledged?
but recent timelines suggest anything between 3-13 weeks.
but most get theirs before 13 weeks anyway

Hi yodiyokun,

Thanks again man!!!

I sent my application on 6th August. I didn't hear anything from HSMP so called today and got my ref. no. They said they received my application on 9th August.

I understand from this forum that many users have got in 10/11 and even one day.

13 week is very long time. I am already cracked by waiting my Canadian application :)

Regards,
SK

Hi Spider,

You can find other forum members posting recent approvals. Try getting their reference numbers and deduce.

Hi SpiderKing,
My application too received on 9th August, applied within UK.
But i got the full reference number 6 digits are visible( i mean NO xx )
Does the ref. number allotment depends on within UK / outside UK ?
Any thoughts ?

Hi yodiyokun,
You have mentioned it takes 3 weeks time for applications within UK ?

itsme,

All the applicants get full ref. no, however they replace last digits with xx while qouting their ref.no on a public forum like this.

mine was 047xxx and my application was processed.

Most people i know that applied in june/ july this month got their decision within 4 weeks (both in and out of country applicants)
so i guess the processing is getting faster
