- Are you in the UK under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP)? If you think you may be covered by the terms of the HSMP Forum Judicial Review Policy Document see 'Help on this question' before answering this question. (if you say YES) then it will say ...
You must enter a first successful application date of 29/02/2008 if you are seeking to extend your stay having been granted leave under the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme.
So does that mean you need to go by the date of 29/02/2008?
Kindly confirm
This is just a personal opinion. If I were you, I would apply as late as possible in October as you are already short of 2 months and 8 days. You will get grace for that period as you came late but don't apply too early that the case worker combine all the time and it goes above 3 months. Whats the rush. Waited this long, few more days wont kill nobody. Apply in last week of October. One more time, this is just a personal suggestion. I don't know what is your situation. May be you are in urgency. Good Luck.salonbalm wrote:thanks mate.
