Hi All,
Today I called up the HO to know the status of my HSMP application and was very surprised to know that my APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED:). Just to be sure, I called them up once again to confirm that I had correctly quoted my reference number
. It seems, the documents/letter have already been posted on Ist Aug by Airmail. Hopefully, I should receive the documents safely within the next 5-7 days.
I would like to thank all the moderators and everyone for their wonderful contribution to this forum, without which I would have been a definite loser...
My timelines:
Reached HO: 27th June
CC Charged: 12th July
Reference number received over phone: 17th July
Caseworker Assigned: 31st July
Decision made and documents posted: Ist Aug
Awaiting receipt of documents: ???
Mine was an under 28 application, I am a Software Engineer from Bangalore, India and write embedded software for mobile handsets/smartphones. For more details on my application refer to my earlier posting on
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... c&start=20. The only mistake with my application was that in addition to sending notarised passport copy, I had also sent in notarised copy of my driving license which is redundant. Although, the HSMP guys did tell me that this should not be a problem, it did give me sleepless nights initially
Bottomline, DO NOT SEND NOTARISED COPIES EXCEPT FOR PASSPORT.
None of my employers were contacted, probably, because they are already registered on
www.companieshouse.gov.uk.
And yes, to know the status, I dialled +441142076020 since I am an out of country applicant.
Once again, a big thanks to everyone, and I will update you all once I receive the documents.
regards
