GoforUK,
My case was exactly same as yours.
Though I had got my documents & passport back with VISA stamped on it by Jan.16th, even I didnt get any approval letter / confirmation email from BHC India. When enquired, they confirmed my application approval but commented they couldnt send email as they couldnt find my emailID specified in the VFS Webpage where VFS fills in applicant's details at the time of receiving the application for forwarding to BHC.
Neverthless, from my experience & familiarity with UK Tier-1 visa over the past 6 - 7 months, think the approval letter you're talking of was the old HSMP Approval letter. From June 08, you would directly receive only an Entry clearance / Visa stamped on your passport (which, I believe, both of us received).
But I would like to re-confirm that anyway : So can you please tell me which post in this Forum you noticed the mention of this "Tier 1 (General) approval letter from Home office" ???
Thanks,
Technocrat.
