We definitely applied after April 2006 as I've now found a couple of letters from our original hsmp application and these were signed in beginning and mid May 2006. Besides I remember our hsmp application was approved in less than a month. Our hsmp approval letter (by Home Office - Work Permits UK) is dated 27 June 2006. So I think we applied in end of May and got the approval in end of June or early July 2006. But yes our visas were initially approved for only 1 year (until Aug 2007).rajesh_kumar01 wrote:it looks like you had applied your HSMP before April 2006 that could be the only reason they gave you Visa for a Year. So I would advise you to check your letter also when did you send your application to them.
If you applied your HSMP before April 2006 then you will get your ILR back dated and you may be able to apply for Citizenship this year itself..
You could apply for ILR anytime after 23 August i.e. upto 28 days before 19 Sept., the date when you first entered in the UK.a-s wrote:We got visas approved in end of Aug 2006 and we entered UK for the first time on 19 Sep 2006.sushdmehta wrote:1. HSMP - JR policy.

Annex B wrote:2.2 Applications that fall short of the five year continuous period
In some cases, applicants may have been granted 5 years continuous leave, but will not have spent 5 years continuously in the UK before their current leave expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the date the applicant entered the UK towards the 5 years, provided this period was not longer than 3 months.

Our first entry clearance, for the period of 1 year was stamped on 21 Aug 2006. Then it was extended for 4 years (on 08 Aug 2007) and the current leave ends on 21 Aug 2011, after exactly 5 years.
Hi MK357. Thanks for the offer. But this group of Apr-Nov 2006 has suffered the most in all categories. They were given one year visa instead of 2 years. Those whose entry in Uk was delayed due family reasons(which UKBA now accepts up to 3 months) they were mostly refused extension due 7th Nov 2006 changes for scoring points. How a new comer start making so much wage in less than 9 months which locals even do not make in 18 months. This poor group had to face refusals, leave the country, or spent money in fighting courts cases or switch visa categories. Does some one have a heart to at least sympathies with this groupmk357 wrote:Hi Khalid, It is wishful thinking for us to get ILR after 4 years. I would personally deliver to you a box of chocolates if that could happen.
