First Review Result

[ukindia]

Any one who has received the reply from HSMP please give ur views

I applied for 1 review on 16/8 /05 and received mail from HSMP today that the decision has been taken and it has been sent to me by airmail and will reach upto 12 weeks time

I dont know how it takes 12 weeks to reach mumbai?

12 weeks? That is when they use their backup method ... pigeon post! And when the pigeon gets a bit lost!

Only joking!

Seriously, they will undoubtedly use air mail rather than surface mail. So it should be there quite a bit earlier than 12 weeks.

You can call them and ask for the decision. They usually tell it on the phone.

Good luck, I hope you receive good news!

ukindia- Ive got news too on my appeal- decision made on the 9th of September after being sent in on the 23rd of August. They informed my via email today after my query yesterday to status. Interestingly it was CCd to two other people. Did that happen to you? They said 2-3 weeks for postage, but this is the US, so I should get it by Monday, if not today.

Good luck!

12 weeks only is the longest period.
should be arrived you in this period. good luck!

Hi

yes it is upto 12 weeks

But if it takes even 8 weeks than we loose our chance for second review .

as the date on the letter is counted by HSMP and not when we receive it

Any one received any review reply or any one who has been successful in first review as I have a feeling that they donot approve reviews .They donot have interest in even reading our appeal letters .

Any comments ?

I believe that you can appeal outside of the 28 day time period if there is a reason for the delay- in your instance it would be the mail.

And yes, some people do get it on appeal, but of course it all depends on how strong your appeal is. If you are appealing something on their mistake where they didnt follow their own caseworker manual, then I think one would have a good shot. If you aree appealing something that could be construed as a mistake on your end, especially the work experience letters, then that could be a bit trickier.

ukindia,

Sorry to hear about your case.

(1) How many points did you claim for work experience, and how many points did they award to you?

(2) How did you know that you did not get points for the last 3 years experience (for which you provided evidence on the letter head)?
