HI,kna872 wrote:Hello All,
I have been trying to find out the information pertaining to the earliest that I could apply for the extension of my HSMP. My MBA Provision HSMP is expiring in January 2010 and I have travel plans in December. I was wondering if anybody could help me with what would be the earliest that I could apply for extension of my current HSMP? Is it 90 days before the expiry of the current one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Ali
People have applied 5 months before and received approval. You can apply before your current leave to remain expires.kna872 wrote:Hello All,

In such early renewals, would the Tier 1 visa stamped from last date of HSMP ?

YOU CAN APPLY ASAP HOWEVER, IT IS CRUCIAL THAT U MEET ALL THE RELEVANT POINTS NEEDED FOR THE EXTENSION. ONCE, U HAVE MET THE POINTS BASED CRITERIA , GO AHEAD AND APPLY ASAP...
I APPLIED 8 MONTHS IN ADVANCE AND GOT THE EXTENSION:)
GOOD LUCK!

I called Croydon PEO this week to find out about extending my HSMP which expires in Feb 2010, now. I am advised that the new visa will take effect immediately and not from Feb 2010.
I guess this is prompted by (1) genuine urgency in individual cases, (2) by current economic crisis - reservation of employers against those with short leave to remain & more importantly by (3) everchanging UK VISA rules and ensuing uncertainty.rsathish wrote:Very good, let's encourage queue jumping & many will follow.
Now-a-days, getting a Crodon PEO appointment has become much tougher than getting a H1B visa or a multi-millin lotto rollover.
If by chance anyone is interested, it is 1 month before your leave expires.

Huh!

It seems unreasonable to blame applicants therefore.
there is a search button somewhere on this forum, and this question has been asked several times over.ughosal wrote:dev wrote:Hi chetanojha,chetanojha wrote:People have applied 5 months before and received approval. You can apply before your current leave to remain expires.kna872 wrote:Hello All,

The current economic climate has made almost everyone to feel that he needs to be in the Ambulance. Don’t put the blame squarely on Indians for everything - two of my colleagues (1 American and the other an Australian) have done similar thing.rsathish wrote:Even when the titanic sank they let the women and children first.
But, even now nobody let's even an ambulance passby in India.
If you analyse, maybe urgent cases are posted here but there are 1000s who watch the posts and start firing applications.
No employer will or can quote near visa expiry date and differentiate you based on that. Has anyone given that in writing?
I'm going to write to HO and ask them why they are considering applications when they expire 7 months in future - while they have much more closer visas to process. Why is that they say in UKBA extensions to be posted just one month before expiry?
There is no point cribbing here and asking people to come in queue. Sometimes these kinds of silly actions needs to be taken too.

No one will give you in writing that they are rejecting you because you have a short leave to remain but this is a general perception supported by some examples. They are not required to!!
At the same time if the fear of redundancy in next few months looms large, nobody would want to be in a situation when they don’t have any points to claim on earnings and thus miss out on extension - ppl are simply insuring against the uncertainty re future extensions by applying early - can they be blamed for being overly cautious? I know it puts strain on the system but UKBA does not seem to have any problem with that. Please feel free to write the letter to HO if you think you are being adversely affected by the current practice.
Re India- more than the people who do not give way to ambulances (I am not defending their action), I am appalled by those who desert the country and then start pointing fingers on others without contributing anything themselves.
Nobody gives in writing that a particular person is not being considered because of say facial reasons - does that mean facial discrimination does not exist in world??rsathish wrote:No body is willing to give it in writing because it is not legally correct & instead of challenging those decisions, it is kind of cowardly to accept things as they are & keep blaming the economy.
I dont want to discuss this further.

If you do not have sound argument to make and then say you do not want to discuss it any further, it would be graceful if you retracted what you said in the first place.
While I empathise with your friend's situation, how are early extensions to blame for this? In fact people are applying early to avoid getting into these sorts of problems.Consider this case, where one of my friend who is still waiting for HO to revert on his application but the visa had expired in the meantime. (even though applying well in advance). His job is now taken away.
You are asking others to stand up against the recruiters why cant you advise your friend to do the same? As long as the application for extension is pending with HO his existing leave remains valid- he has stronger point to argue and sue his employers if his job has been taken away.rsathish wrote:If you don't want to stand up & defend your case against recruiters, that's fine. It's your career.
But, jumping the queue is not correct. And, don't justify with economy and all that.
