The timeline that BHC gives you may be a Do Not Disturb type. We all know that 20 Dec applications have been processed in some cases.

skd and ram - 95% you guys will get it today or tommorrow - i guess even BHC will not want to cross 30 working days for any case :?: :?: :arrow: :idea:

all the best to everyone , keep checking online updates through the day !

Hi,

We called up BHC today and we were asked to call up next week to know the status. The lady said she cannot reveal the current staus. When asked about the timelines, she said it should be done with in 30 days atmost...It seems this delay in processing HSMP applications would continue till March. We should try to forget this for few days....to relax for a while :)

Thanks

Rambabu,
I have mailed them just now regarding this. As soon as i get a mail response, i will post a msg... I am really getting pissed at them. They should at least close it... either give the EC or reject it... At least i will get my passport back... My boss needs me to be in US for some time... i postponed it for this... I should have applied in November... Hindsight is always wise... :x

ram and kumar,

see the recent email reply from BHC posted here - they are now committing to 30 working days processing time so surely they will stick that at least now.

You guys will definetely get online status update by today or tommorrow - keep checking - especially at 4.00 PM and 6.00 PM

all the best !

I'm sure there is something else which is wrong in his application...Or else.. 6000GBP is not a small amount...Not sure even if the ECO has that much in is account

Hi All,

INTEGRA in my case:

A lady had called my HR claiming that shes calling from BHC(dint mention INTEGRA),spoke to him and asked about my details
1:Date of joining
2:Last drawn salary
3:Immediate reporting manager and his extn num
4:DOB
5:Designation
Then she asked my HR to transfer the call onto my extn
Luckily i was at my desk(came back after a short-tea break :P )
She asked me the same stuff again
Not sure if this process is generic to all,still thought to post it

All the best!

reincarnation , he had booked accomodation only for a week and did not have invite letter from any friends/relatives in UK....

But still ..... :shock: :shock: ....if they are sure the person is highlyskilled , he will surely get a job before he runs out of money(6000GBP)

and if they are not sure an applicant can get a job even after say 3 months there - then they are not sure that the applicantis highly skilled - then why does HO give approval in the first place :?:

why do they still have basic doubts in mind at the final stage of HSMP approval :idea:

lol..good thoughts Vidya...But, I'd love to hear the answer from ECOs...Its pretty hard to judge what is their thought process...The whole HSMP thing seems so strange sometimes...

Hope your words come true , Prashanth :)


Mantya, i guess they will call your office to verify the job offer and accomodation
after seeing arun's posts on this thread - i have again spoken to my manager that BHC may call to confirm that there is a potential job with the UK team.

hi reincarnation

dont worry about the integra happening / not done aspect - there are several ppl who never knew if integra verification was done and they got the ec - quite quickly in fact.

so i guess the more number of calls integra and BHC make to verify during the process- the more doubts they still have in their mind about the application :idea:

ram and kumar - all the best for 3.30 PM update :!:
