My understanding (and I'm in the same boat as you) is it goes on the HSMP approval letter date (submission, not approval) and not on the date of the subsequent FLR or Entry Clearance.global gypsy wrote:My HSMP letter is dated 3-Mar-06, although the HSMP stamp in my passport is as of 25-Apr-06.
The new 4-year ILR policy for HSMP has a cutoff date of 3-Apr-06.
Can someone advise me what this date refers to?
HSMP letter date (if yes, then I am covered!) or the date of stamp in passport?
Many thanks.
Again you and I share a similar story. It would appear we both qualify based on our combined and consecutive WP & HSMP visas.global gypsy wrote:MrBaboo,
Thanks for your reply and pointer to the HSMP forum document.
Just one more point:
I came to the UK in Jan'05 on a WP, then applied and was approved HSMP in March '06.
Based on a reading of the relevant documents, it seems I am eligible to apply for ILR now?

What does this mean? My HSMP approval letter was dated 3-Mar-06 (I got my stamp 25-Apr), but it was for 2 years, not 1 year.c. (2 + 3 ) - Initial HSMP Visa of 2 years & then received extension of 3 years
(Please note: this scenario applies only if HSMP application was made prior to 3 April 2006 because 2 years of initial HSMP visa started after 3 April 2006)
My reading of this (not so well worded) part of the document is it exactly describes your situation:global gypsy wrote:Thanks for the pointers.
My situation: WP Jan'05 > HSMP Mar'06 for 2 yers > HSMP extension in Apr'08 for 3 years
I do have a concern: the HSMP forum page cited states the following:What does this mean? My HSMP approval letter was dated 3-Mar-06 (I got my stamp 25-Apr), but it was for 2 years, not 1 year.c. (2 + 3 ) - Initial HSMP Visa of 2 years & then received extension of 3 years

Does this pose a problem?
