HI,

I submitted my application on 20/06/06 and i checked my CC web site but it is not charged. So I called them today and they told me because they moved office so that is a reason for a delay.

Thanks

Yes I beleive paying UK Postal orders makes it faster. I have read somewhere in guidelines that these applications are forwarded immediately to caseworking office.

mna8 · Post by **mna8** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 2:35 pm

Hi,

Yes I have checked the www.workingintheuk.gov.uk web site it is mentioned in HSMP guidance that postal order cleared immediately.

Thanks

englandbound · Post by **englandbound** » Mon Jun 26, 2006 5:10 pm

Hi all,

I called them up (the work permits ppl) and they said that my card had been charged on June 22 and gave me my ref. number (thank god!). I guess it has to be assigned to a case worker now? Any idea how many days it takes to be assigned to a case worker and then processsed?

I applied on June 14th (received at Doncaster).

purvil · Post by **purvil** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 3:38 am

Hi All,

Finally I have a confirmation from HSMP team that, my application has been received bu t yet to show on to our system. I guess this means, I still have to wait a bit to get my CC charged.

Well atleast one good news. Hope for more ...

Rocio · Post by **Rocio** » Tue Jun 27, 2006 10:33 pm

1st and foremost I want to thank those who i contacted directly via private messages who helped me with my visa application and second I want to say that without this site I would have been a bit less diligent with my submission.

My HSMP application has been submitted via FedEx today June 27, 2006

and I can now just anxiously sit back and wait to hear back from the Home Office.

I wish Everyone good luck and please feel free to contact me if you think I can be of assistance.

Age Allowance = 5
Degree = 15
Experience = 50
Salary = 25

TOTAL Points Requesting 95

Will continue to post the progress of the visa after I track its status.

Thanks once again,

Rocio
Houston, TX

Does anybody know how long applications are now taking to process? I faxed over an urgent request form yesterday because I have a job starting in August. Will that make any difference? and if so, how much will it shorten the processing time?

thanks

busybee_kl · Post by **busybee_kl** » Wed Jun 28, 2006 9:07 am

I called up the home office yesterday to inquire about the status of my application, apparently, they have still not assigned my papers to a case worker. So far 27 days have elapsed since reaching the home office (see my earlier posts for my schedule), so if the allocation system is fair, then it takes at least this long. The only good news for me is that I finally got my reference number, they claim they had posted it to me 2 weeks back. I will call again after a week to check again.

If any applicant in June has had an early decision then do post here.

I want to thank all of you on this forum for being really helpful during this app process. I also wanted to tell u that my application was approved yesterday and mailed off yesterday as well. Talk about quick turnaround - under 2 weeks!!!! and thats even with the delays in payment processing caused by the shift in payment offices!!

Good luck to all...

Hi gautat,

When you say that you contacted the HSMP team, do u mean their contact center or the direct HSMP line? Can you please tell me the number which you tried?

Secondly, as I can see you have sent in additional documents.Did the HSMP team request for additional docs from you? If no, then what is the procedure for sending in unsolicited additional documents?

regards

sumaradha · Post by **sumaradha** » Thu Jun 29, 2006 11:47 am

Hi NGOBROS,

Senior members and members can you please confirm will it take so many days to receive the documents, please share your past experiance, so I can take necessary actions.

Waiting for all your quick response.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Regards,
Prakash
