FLR (IED) urgent treatment

[djbabyboom]

It always waits for the least suitable time. Mal son temps...

My 1st year HSMP EC expires on 10th of March and I have submitted the FLR application on 5th January.

This morning I find a message in my inbox from the client requiring to travel overseas at least twice at end of January and beginning of February.

Anyone, who ever submitted the urgent treatment form, did you attach a ticket / a letter / anything else to the form? How soon did you get your passport after sending that?

Thank you very much.

I did not send any proof when sending the urgent treatment form but it was accepted and my passport was returned back in 3 days time. They will try to match the date you want to travel provided you give them a realistic time. Therefore, make haste, send off the urgent treatment, then call them up and get a confirmation.
