Application tracking number

[lbfrancois]

When do we receive the application tracking number? is it after or before the payment? (I'm paying by credit card).

Do they send it by e-mail too? I remember they ask on the application form to provide an e-mail address if you want to receive it by e-mail...

Has anybody received the number by e-mail? how long did it take?

Thanks,
Lu.

Hi Lu

My application reached Hsmp team on 31st March. Payment was deducted on 7th April (via cheque) and received my reference number via email on 14th April. On 21st April my application was decided. So I would assume from my experience that the reference number is allocated after payment is cleared.

Hope it helps.

Hi jazbaati99

When you say that a decision was made, did they say wether it was approved or declined, or just that a decision had been made.

Its great to see that they are still achieving good rates of turnaround for some of the applications.

hi Marfbr,

THey just mention that "decision has been taken" if u r communicating with Emails, but if u call them, they can tell u what is the decision.

So, if u want to know the exact decision, u must call them and talk to them over phone.
