Note that the HSMP Team can rightly say consideration of your case commenced on 13.02.04 - given the 6-8 week time frame you would be expecting to hear from them no later than mid April so you just have to be patient.
Worrying statement - either means the HSMP Team have not acted on the info supplied on 03.02.04 as per your first post or the consultant submitted the docs well after this i.e.08.04.04 - I received an email from HSMP team, that whilst waiting for additional info my case, it has been kept in queue and that it is now next in line - and that a decision will be made in the next 2 weeks.
I think its best to let the HSMP Team carry on with processing as is and follow up after the 2 weeks they stated in yesterday's e-mail. In the meantime you need to decide where your documents including the decision letter are to be sent once the HSMP Team are through. The consultant might have a hard time getting these docs to you if they can't even retrieve your file. I know its pretty tough for you but I would urge you to stay calm and focus your energy on the job hunting side of things. I am sure things will work out.03.02.04 - Documents / case allocated to a case worker (as infromed to me by my consultant)
I have copies of each document that I supplied to my consultant, but the question is about which specific documents have been finally used / submitted with the application, is not known by me. Anyway I am now not expecting much from my consultant.Goes to show that all applicants should make copies of every document submitted to any person in relation to their application
Considering that the consultant may have submtted the docs well after 03.02.04, seems unlikely, as in my email to HSMP I had provided all the dates of interactions/deliveries with HSMP, including submitting the additional docs. If this date would not be true, the HSMP would have disputed or clarified the actual date. Still I am not sure - till the actual date is confirmed by HSMP team.Worrying statement - either means the HSMP Team have not acted on the info supplied on 03.02.04 as per your first post or the consultant submitted the docs well after this
I am not sure whether I am bound by the fact that I have authorised my consultant to be my representative and that the application / docs were submitted by them - is it possible for me to request HSMP to send the decision letter to me instead? Normally the consultant would get the decision letter and the docs - and once their accounts are settled then they would release / forward them to the me / applicant ! However I would prefer to get the decision atleast directly sent to me. Is it actually possible ?In the meantime you need to decide where your documents including the decision letter are to be sent once the HSMP Team are through
About job hunting I was of the opinion that the best time to strike is when the iron is hot i.e to apply when I have the HSMP approval letter. Without the approval any employer would be reluctant to select a candidate where the right to work full time has not yet been authorised. Delay in HSMP approval will be another factor as the potential employer will expect certainity about when any candidate can join.I know its pretty tough for you but I would urge you to stay calm and focus your energy on the job hunting side of things
Correct that only the consultant knows this – however having your own copies ensures there is no scope for any dispute as to what you gave him/ her to submit to HSMP Team.I have copies of each document that I supplied to my consultant, but the question is about which specific documents have been finally used / submitted with the application, is not known by me. Anyway I am now not expecting much from my consultant.
I am somewhat lost as to the different timings vis a vis your initial post and the ‘update one’ on the traffic btwn the consultant, HSMP Team and you – perhaps too much content over a wide areaConsidering that the consultant may have submtted the docs well after 03.02.04, seems unlikely, as in my email to HSMP I had provided all the dates of interactions/deliveries with HSMP, including submitting the additional docs. If this date would not be true, the HSMP would have disputed or clarified the actual date. Still I am not sure - till the actual date is confirmed by HSMP team.
As per my initial post you can inform the HSMP Team in writing that your consultant is no longer acting for you and that all documentation including the decision letter be returned directly to you.I am not sure whether I am bound by the fact that I have authorised my consultant to be my representative and that the application / docs were submitted by them - is it possible for me to request HSMP to send the decision letter to me instead?

1. I was referring to all the relevant activities related to job hunting from getting your CV into shape, scheduling interviews, understanding the relevant business sectors, networking etc that should IMHO be undertaken concurrently with the HSMP application.About job hunting I was of the opinion that the best time to strike is when the iron is hot i.e to apply when I have the HSMP approval letter. Without the approval any employer would be reluctant to select a candidate where the right to work full time has not yet been authorised. Delay in HSMP approval will be another factor as the potential employer will expect certainity about when any candidate can join.
Could you please stop worrying.They also said that the passports have been forwarded to the In country team for leave to remain.
