Dmrao,

Could you please state what field you work in? This might help members of this message board determine whether they are hand-picking applicants from certain fields.

Thanks,
Wazman.

Congratulations Dmrao!

Did you do anything to accelerate the process (calls/faxes/job offer etc) or did it just happen like that?

congrats Dmrao, nice to see there is light at the end of the tunnel for Pre december applicants. All the best with FLR. and yes did you request urgent treatment (job offer), if so when?

Good to hear. I assume that you applied from out of the UK, and you didn't have a job offer/ urgent request? Also, what is your field, are you a Doctor?

hi dmrao, had you disclosed that you are a work permit holder in your application? I had seen on another site that HSMP team worker told an applicant that one reason of the delay of their process is that they treat work permit as job offer and give them urgent treatment. I don't know are you the case? Or did they process the application backward?

It could be also that there is a different queue for all in-country applicants, be it WP holders, Student, WHV.
The one thing now that might cause a problem (for the pre December applicants) is that all those who are rejected in February can effective send in new applications straight away and have them looked at way before someone who applied in June / July. somethin is really not right.

My understanding of how HSMP is working:

based on the approval mechanisms,

After christmas, HO totally freezed June 7+ applications (there were practically no updates from June 7+ applications for 2 months)
Divided the team and one team concentrated totally on applications from Jan beginning onwards and other team concentrated on December end onward (back processing).

In February around 20th, HO felt that backlog is too high in LTR and HSMP. For HSMP, they should have dedicated a team to process till june 10 (however i am not sure on this) My best bet is that they have chosen September end as the fork point. 2 teams will work forward and backward from the fork point (sep 30).

However, I am still not understanding the logic behind this whole strategy. With comming elections, an update more than 26 weeks (around 46 weeks) will tout the inefficiency of HO and hence they never change 26 in the operational service page! They have only a month and they got to do something really better. (I guess they understood it in FLR and hence they have quoted +20 weeks in their update). Lets all hope that they do something for HSMP.

This is just a theory based on the anomalies!

brave, that's a creative and complicated theory but there are so many unknowns that I believe it's not worth spending any time on theories. The reason could be as simple as the discovery of some forgotten files on a desk and they might have been treated as new applications, which are processed faster

On the other hand, I definitely agree with f2k - something is really not right.

am with you saint and f2k on this. for june - dec applicants, there's just no theory that can explain the rationale for processing LIFO (last in first out). only the team at HO can explain what is going on..
i would have thought that this system would exemplify what excellent service delivery is all about but it's not just happening and there is no explanation, just automated replies!
it's quite unfortunate really..

Hi All,

Today I got back our passports stamped for ONE year.

So, at least some peace.

Good Luck to all

Cheers
