Hi Friends,
After waiting so long, I got a letter from HSMP team asking "further information". Hope this will help the other members.
The letter AS IT IS
*************************************************************
Dear XXXXX,
Re:Mr. XXX XXXX -India - Date of Birth
We are currently considering your HSMP application. However, before we can reach a decision on the application we need some further information.
"Please could you provide full, original references for the requisite periods of time that you working for the following companies:
XXXXX XXXXX

XXXX XXXXXX
The references must be on letter headed paper, contain the title of positions held and start and finish dates (if applicable). They must also contain a full description of nature and responsibilities of the positions held, and must signed by an authorized signatory of the relevant company.
If you cannot supply original references, then please supply copies that have been certified by a Solicitor, Notary Public or a Commissioner of Oaths.
Wee would be grateful if the requested information could be forwarded to our offices by 28th July, quoting the above HSMP reference number. If we have not heard from you by this date a decision will be based on the information already received.
Yours Sincerely
XXXXX XXXX

Case History:
Application received by Home office: 1st March 2004
Ref No: 139**
Letter asking for further information dated on letter: 02 June 2004
Letter received in India: 07 June 2004.
HSMP Application: 28 and Over
Total points Claimed: 110
1)Education : 25
2)Earnings : 25
3)Experience : 35 ( 5.8 years exp. 2.7years as Project Manager)
4)Significant Achievement: 15 points (National and International paper publications)
5)Partner Achievement : 10
My experience letters from my previous companies have the brief description and they are issued at the time of reliving. *But as, I couldn’t get an experience letter from current employer I attached offer letter which doesn’t have any description.*
May be this is the reason Home Office asked for further information.
I have few questions and please clarify them.
1)Home Office clearly asked me about the further information needed regarding the experience letters ( for points to consider under Experience ). Does it mean all the remaining documentation is sufficient and points allotted.
2)Even if they don’t want to consider my experience points, I still have 75 points( Assuming that remaining documentation is okay and points are allotted), but they didn’t issued a decision letter. So, it means Home office needs complete information for the points whatever the applicant claiming for.
3)Are there any cases like home office asking for further information on one category and after submission asking for further information in another category (like in experience category once, education later etc.). Ideally entire application should be reviewed once and ask the applicant for further information in one shot. But I remember a members posting on this forum regarding back and forth information transfer multiple times. Please clarify.
4)What is the usual turnaround time for this kind of applications? I mean, this will go back into the Queue or will be considered as and when they receive the further information from applicant.
5)If Home office is not satisfied with my Senior level experience (because I am claiming 35 points) will they consider the same as normal experience and allot 25 points?
Friends, Please share your ideas and experiences. It is really painful when things go unexpected after waiting so long…Hmm
Help me to close this loop fast….
Thank you all for your kind support…
