hi,

anyone who had applied out of country in April got decision yet ? looks like processing for out of country is very slow this month.

Got Ref : 16 April 07

No decision yet

regards

Hi Hsmp73

my feeling is that lot of ppl applied in early to mid march , and not many ppl applied right before and after the fee increase in the first week of april . and then perhaps ppl have started applying again after mid april.

So im guessing HSMP team has a big backlog of march cases after which april there may not be much volume so it may move fast

fingers crossed right now....

hi Vidya,

i think thats the case but I am hoping to get the decision soon becoz most of the people from last week of March have their decisions. have your payment been deducted and have y got ref ?

regards

vidya · Post by **vidya** » Fri Apr 27, 2007 5:35 pm

I paid by demand draft so the money was deducted as soon as i purchased the draft ...i will know whether the payment processing was smooth only when i get the reference number next week ...

Dear Friends,

I applied on April 17, reached the application of 19th and the fee was debited on 20th April. On 2th April I called HO to get my reference number since I did'nt recieve it , there was lady who responded to my call and gave my refrence number. My ref is in the series 215***. During that she also told that my file has not yet been allocated to the case worker. That means they have'nt started processing my file.

Regards,
ARUN

aprilhsmp · Post by **aprilhsmp** » Wed May 02, 2007 9:23 am

I called up HSMP enquiry. They told decision has been made on 25th April and documents are already sent by mail. They did not tell me the result. Any idea how long this mail service takes?

i resent my application by fedex last wednesday ..it still hasnt been delivered ...the tracking website says "delivery held" - exception ....no idea what has gone wrong ...i am really really really worried right now ...

aprilhsmp · Post by **aprilhsmp** » Wed May 02, 2007 9:46 am

Vidya,

Your HSMP application itself is not delivered to HO?
Call up fed-ex and ask about delivery status.

For the royal mail HO did not give me any reference number so no clue on document delivery. I am also worried and waiting.

vidya · Post by **vidya** » Wed May 02, 2007 11:48 am

hi aprilHSMP , i just got an email from fedex confirming that it has been delivered today ...my husband had to call them so many times since monday ...

I am glad to hear that your decision was made in a week's time ...all the best ...dont worry , royal airmail to india is pretty safe , please keep posting updates ...

Did you request urgent treatment? What were the first three digits for your reference number? This will help the rest of us determine where we are in the queue. I think they are working on those beginning with 250*** now.

vidya · Post by **vidya** » Wed May 02, 2007 11:52 am

april HSMP , you can also ask them to connect you to the caseworker who will tell you the result over phone !

you did mention that you are applying from india , right ? it took just 4 days for my package to reach home by royal airmail ( when the payment got declined and my file was returned to me 3 weeks back)

Hi All,
i have sent my application on 23rd April and recieved ref number next day. Today i called HSMP team and i have been told that no case worker is assigned yet. my current leave will expire in next 7 weeks. Should i request HSMP team for urgent tretment? cz if they refuse me, i may have some time to get a review or even try to switch to some other category.

please advise.

Cheers!!
VORA
