Hi all,kiwiLB57 wrote:Hi all,
27 April Sent from New Zealand via DHL courier
2 May Shipment delivered and signed for by TELFORD
5 May Credit Card Charged
Still waiting on reference number.
I am meant to be leaving New Zealand on 20 June with my partner and will need a couple of weeks to process entry clearance with the British High Commission so I really need the approval in the mail by the end of May. Stress!
Alisondc: If you dont mind me asking, did you receive your ref number by email or over the phone? How long did it take? Best of luck with your application
Does anybody have the phone number to call to check on your application / ref number status?
Cheers everybody,

Your reference number should have been generated earlier than May 20th, because your application is already with a case worker and it takes two weeks on an average to get assigned. Atleast that was the response I got when I called 'em up last week to check on the status of my application. I got my reference number on May 14th but I was told that it would be assigned to a case worker most likely before the end of next week (May 26th). Will see what happens. Good luck with your app!jas_online wrote:Hi there,
First off, I want to say a general thank you to the many people on here whose posts helped me compile my application. The application I was planning on sending was woefully inadequate, but luckily I stumbled upon this site and the many helpful people, so thanks.
Now, to my dates:
Application sent from Sydney: April 2
Credit card charged: April 24
Confirmation of reference number: 20 May
I actually emailed the HSMP office to ask for my reference number on 17 May. They were very polite and got back to me with the number, along with the news that "a decision is currently being made and has gone to a line manager for checking".
Can I assume an answer is imminent from that statement?
Once again, many thanks to everyone and good luck!
May 20 was the date I received an email reply after I had emailed them on the 17th (from memory) asking for confirmation that my application had arrived.kiwiLB57 wrote:Hi jas,
Can you confirm whether the May 20 date that you mentioned was indeed the date that they issued you with a reference number or the date that you found out?
That's correct. HO is changing their charging department to use Siemens and that cause a backlog. I received an email from HO about this. Just to put that in perspective, my application timeline is:nikhil wrote:My lawyer submitted my application on 26th July and when she contacted HO today to inquire about ref number they told her that HO is experiencing delays while entereing data in the database and would be able to allocate a reference number after 1-2 weeks!
Has anyone being told the same by HO?
