Does the reason need to be genuine? Do they going to put any note on my HSMP, which in future will have problem during visa stamping like I submit my passport after 1 r 2 months.
Dear ARUN:
Several problems with your situation, according to my understanding:
1) It is my understanding that you can only fax the Urgent Treatment form after you have received your reference number for your initial HSMP application. If you just include the form in your initial application, or write a note that says, "Please give urgent treatment," that is not sufficient.
2) When you fax the Urgent Treatment Form, it serves as a covering letter for a document that justifies your request. If you say you have a job offer, the Urgent Treatment form should be faxed along with your job offer letter. On the job offer letter you should write your HSMP refererence number.
3) The HSMP Team will be within their rights if they attempt to contact the entity/company that you say has offered you a job. If they are unable to contact that company, they will in all probability not give you urgent treatment. CAVEAT: If they discover that they cannot contact the company because the company does not exist, they may have reason to be suspicious of your application entirely. They could flat-out deny you because it seemed like you lied about one thing.
With as many other factors that come into play when the HO decides an HSMP application, it is generally better to play it STRAIGHT with INTEGRITY and HONOUR. At least if you are denied it will be for a factor outside of your direct control rather than because of a clever strategy that backfired!
You can see in the forums on this site and
http://www.hsmp-services.co.uk that, this season at least, people are getting their answer from the HO on their HSMP applications within a month of applying. Is it really worth it to you to jeopardise your entire future over saving 10-15 business days on your application timeline?
Just my thoughts!
