Hello Friends,
I have faxed my documents to NARIC 2 weeks back and waiting for their response.
My all other documents are ready.
I wish my application to reach home office before April 1st (when the fee will increase).
Can anyone tell me how many days will it take for my application to reach home office if I send it from Bangalore, India.
Which is the fast and safe postal service, which I can send the documents from India.
Please reply.

Reshma · Post by **Reshma** » Thu Mar 08, 2007 4:34 pm

If anyone is applying from Bangalore, please pm me.
I am applying HSMP directly without any consultant.
I think we can help each other by verifying our documents.

I sent my application (in-country) 1 March, was received 5 March. Still waiting for my reference number though I paid by cheque so I think there has been a delay while waiting for the cheque to clear. Not sure when I should start getting worried?!

Hi ,

I had called home office yesterday and they told me that they are working on the applications recieved on or before 21st Feb, so i guess we have to wait for our turn...fingers crossed.

Thanks

Hi DJS, did you talk to someone or was it a recorded message?
Called HO yesterday and there was a recorded message saying that they are working on the applications received on 28 Feb.

Hello friends,
I applied for HSMP on 14th March. Here are the details:

Out-of-country application.
Age 20 points
Education 30 points
Previous earnings 30 points
English Language requirement: IELTS, with band score of 8.

I got a doubt regarding the address of HSMP office (for the applications sent by courier). At last found the following as the address that we have to send our docs, if we send our appln by courier:

Work Permits (HSMP)
7th Floor
Fountain Precinct
Balm Green
Sheffield
S1 2JA

I have not supplied NARIC evaluation letter, as it is taking a long time. Friends, if any one is from Osmania University, Hyderabad and got his BE degree NARIC evaluated, please share!!

Thanks in advance!!

hi all

just thought I'd share my application details...so here goes:

in-country application.
Age 20 points
Education 35 points
Previous earnings 15 points
UK experience 5 points
English Language requirement: IELTS

App sent on 28-02-07
Recvd by HO 01-03-07
Paid by Cheque
Reference No recvd on 12-02-07
Ref No 211***

I haven't called HO after the 12th...might give them a buzz in the morning to ask wat the current status is. As of the 15th they were working on the applications recvd on the 21st of Feb...so I'd say its still about a good 2 weeks left until my application comes under consideration.

Good luck to all who've applied in March!

yes, that's right. you only get a reference number issued once the payment has been cleared.

ALee_80 · Post by **ALee_80** » Fri Mar 16, 2007 9:32 am

I rang the HO again a minute ago...the recording still says they are currently working on the applications received on the 21st of February.
I've been hearing the same recording for the past 3 days now and I am assuming that they've probably forgotten to update the recording. I'll give them a buzz later this afternoon to find out the current situation.
