I applied for HSMP visa and got approval as communicated on phone. But even after 14 working days, I still haven't received my original documents and approval letters. I already have a job offer from UK employer who is telling me to join asap and I can't unless I get HSMP stamped. Moreoever, HSMP team explained that they won't issue duplicate letter before 12 weeks. This is surprising as if entry clearance needs to be applied in 3 months and duplicate letter will be issued after 12 weeks (close to 3 months), will embassy consider my entry clearance application after 3 months.
Can any of you guys been in this situation? If yes please guide. I guess one thing for sure that if I have to wait uselessly for 12 weeks without duplicate letter, I will surely loose this job offer
