...and I applied on 30th April. Well, probably will have to wait a couple of more weeks (looking at Ceedidy's timelines).

Hi Beever,

I applied for FLR (HSMP -->Tier1) on 30th April and still awaiting decision.

Just wanted to reassure that there are indeed other people out there, just like you, who are in the same predicament.

Goodluck to all of us.

Regards.

I've been keeping an eye on this website.

A person who has applied for extension on Apr 23 has got his/her appplication approved.

Yes you can show funds across multiple bank accounts. Goodluck.

Hello,

may I ask how you got hold of the caseworker's (and her manager's) Email ID?

Could you post here the contents of one of those Emails?

Thanks.

Hi all, Can some one please confirm that while applying for extension of leave( currently under HSMP) one doesnt need to send the orginal qualification document again, as same has been approved under HSMP beforehand. Many thanks That is correct. I was in the same boat when I filed for FLR (HSMP ...

The pay slips and the bank statements are all you need. Make sure you highlight the relevant transaction on each bank statement.

As long as you have provided the correct employer contact details for any verficiations you should be fine.

Goodluck.

The date on your last bank statement can be no later than 1 month prior the the date of your application.

Example - Say your bank statment is dated 25 June. You can use this statement as long as your application reaches the HO before 25 July.

GoodLuck.

This bloke here (http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 894#168894) got his extension approved after JR.

I have applied for extension/FLR (HSMP --> Tier1) on Apr 30 aswell.

No, beacause a Master's Degree takes no more than 2 years.

You will need to provide evidence that you have done a degree (equivanlent of UK Bachelor's), which has taken atleast 3 years, where the medium of instruction is English.

So for anyone applying for extension from the day after the JR judgment until such time that BIA publishes some guidance, it is only BIA's fault if they issue a Tier 1 extension (under Tier 1 criteria). The applicant cannot be held responsible for BIA's contempt of a judicial ruling and failing to ...

Hi all, I filed for FLR on 30 April (HSMP -> Tier1). I was just wondering if there is anyone here who has applied for FLR (switching from HSMP to Tier1) after the successfull JR verdict (specifically after the second week of April. i.e., after HO had enough time to mull over the JR verdict) and had ...

Have these "some ppl" successfully applied for Tier 1?

The Home Office ENCOURAGES you to apply 5 weeks prior to the expiry of current leave. However, its not set in stone.

Email the Home Office and confim.

Thanks for your reply ... what if i show a letter from company saying that they will pay all my expenses for my visit and stay to Uk. Any suggestions for making an appeal ? Regards, Prashant As hsmpinuk70 suggested earlier the case-worker will only consider the evidence set out in the PBS guidence ...

Its not hard of apply on your own at all. Just download the application form and its corresponding guidence notes, and go through all the relevant sections.

If you have any queiries someone on this forum will be more than glad to help you out.

Good luck.

Any update ?? ... those who have applied. regards Well I applied on 30th April and I reckon 20th May is the earliest I can't expect anything back. The BIA website tell us they are currently (on 12th May) considering applictions received between 24 April and 29 April 2008. http://www.bia.homeoffice ...

Unfortunately you cannot submit new documents whilst appealing. I am afraid you might have to re-apply using endorsed bank statements.

Hi push_hsmp, What about existing HSMP holders from China and India who are searching for a job? Does this new proposal mean the employer has to be careful before employing them ("British-based companies will have to prove they cannot fill skilled posts with a resident worker and must show that the ...
