It writes "on the basis of an application submitted between 3 April 2006 and 7 November 2006", you will still need to fulfill 5 years of residency.
What does this actually mean? Does application submitted means the date when u got your HSMP approval letter, or when you send your application out?
I applied for HSMP before 3 April 2006 (arnd early-mid March 2006), before any of the changes were publicized, and only got my approval letter after 3 April 2006.
Do i need 4 or 5 years of residency??
I just looked through my old documents and I think that HO received my application via fedEX on the 3rd of April 2006 itself.!!!!
Can anyone advise?
Got my SAR file today and got copy of my application on which date received is 4th april 2006. HO did not send me the copy of envelop in which my lawyer sent my application (they might not have it)sushdmehta wrote:Submit SAR. You can ask for your initial HSMP application form - the copy will have the date stamped.
The problem is that when application is sent by courier, the date that it is received at UKBA is considered as the application date - and not the date of posting (handing it to courier, in this case). And if your application was received on 03-Apr-06 or later, you'll then have to complete 5 years before becoming eligible for settlement.
