I have received my HSMP Extension under Tier 1 general applied on Sep 28th.hsmpinfo79 wrote:Hi All,
Has anyone who applied after 28 Sept 09 got the VISA APPROVED or REJECTED?
Just to understand the timelines.
From all the posts seen, whoever applied in the week commencing 21 Sept 09 has got their response from HO last week between 12 Oct & 16 Oct.
Thanks for all your replies.
Hi Inukonhsmp..InUkOnHsmp wrote:Hi Ramesh,
The last time I called they told me you cannot call for status before 14 weeks, and that the current typical processing time is up on the site.
I am awaiting my reference number, can someone please clarify if this will change once I get my reference number.
Also has someone been able to find out from them, if a reference number has been issued?
Well I am not very hopeful on any of the above, but does not hurt to request members to share their experiences.
Regards

its unfortunate that the HO changed the time frame to call for status from 6weeks to 14weeks but as i observed once you apply and if u case is staright forward.. you will get ur approval or result in 6-7weeks time.. so as uapplied on 8th oct.. you shd not worry till 20th -26th Nov.. except for watching the waiting time the weblink..
thanks for ur inputs.. goodluck

I think current processing time is about 14-20 working days for normal cases.
If you sent the docs on 8th Oct, you will get probably after 28th Oct any date.
Good luck!.

Looks like around 27 days to me:).Payment deducted : 24th September
Visa stamped : October 20th
Total processing time : 22 working days (4 weeks)
Good one mate, you were really fortunate with the recorded delivery in this turbulent period for the post. Also the early extension worked for you, bravo!I didn’t send the self-address envelope, I felt a bit uneasy but the documents are sent by recorded delivery and they fortunately arrived.
I didn’t give any reason to apply earlier (my visa expired next Jan)
