Hello folks,
Just wanted to update on my application, I applied for premuim service in Croyodon on 15/05/2009 for extension of my HSMP to Tier-1 (G).
I had appointment at 08:30am and finished at 4:00pm. The interview with an inexperienced case worker took about 2hrs 30 minutes. My application was one of the straight forwards one with most the documentation from within the UK and clearly numbered. At 11:30 my application was forwarded to the next level for consideration, and finally got confirmation at 3:00pm, then the passports were ready by 4:00pm. It would have been quicker if I did not had an inexperienced, and slow case worker. t was obvious that my case worker hailed from neighbouring country, and once commented that "u know documents back home can be forged.... n bla bla" on hearing this I just had to control myself... infact we had a scary moment when he lost/forgot my salary slips at copier... but eventually he found them...
Though I requested for leave to be of 38-months, ie two months more than 36, he refused. I wasn't really bothered abt that, but anyways got extension of 36-months from July 09 onwards, which was good.
Many thanks to all, and especially push_hsmp for invaluable guidance
