Hi all. As a new HSMP (in country from WP) applicant, I have 3 questions:

- I have a new offer of employment (reason for HSMP application), would it make sense to include a copy along with the application?
- For the English language requirement, a US Bachelor degree (certificate and letter stating courses taught in English) would be enough, and I would not need a UK NARIC comparability report?
- In terms of evidence for age, they ask for full driving license, but do not say a UK license necessarily. Would a US driving license be ok, if anyone has used it before?

It looks like (from the threads) in country applications are being dealt with quicker. As an incountry applicant (WP currently until 2009), what should I expect as a processing/decision time frame?

Many thanks in advance for anyone who can help

hi all

I guess they are working on reference based on application received date. They are now working on applications received on 04/01/2007.

Mine is with ref number 2033** ( between 1-50).

Application reached 03/01/2007
Decision Made 19/01/2007 and posted docs same day.

Mine is incountry application. I am awaiting the decision. Do not know if it is positive or negative. Lets hope for the best.

Thanks
Anil

Hi disdil4u it's 2033..

Although I don't think it's a huge determining factor as to when you'll get your decision; it's an indication of what time frame you might be looking at.

For example, looking at forum I estimated a decision sometime this week give or take..

Which happened to be correct...

Hello kinjiru

My application ref. no: 2036XX

So I hope it will process by this week.

Hi disdil4u,

I called the number 6020 and waited for 10 mins. Later a lady attended the call and she passed this information to me, even though I didnot ask her.

So sweet right

Aussie brother!

Why are you send 'garbage' documents which are NOT required? Can you explain me how it's going to help you? Why are you making your case more complex?


Thx!
