Dear All
Thanks God, I got full 4 years extension yesterday. Applied as self employed person under transitional arrangements.
I had initial visa of 12 months. Landed in to U.K little less than 8 months after visa was issued from Islamabad. So I had just few days over 4 months of stay in U.K before applying for extension. The time I arrived I was not sure and was very worried if i could get HSMP extesnion on the basis of just 4 months of stay in U.K under revised HSMP rules. But dream has become reality.
I have been going through the HSMP board quite regularly and had the basic knowledge of everything but still I I took the help of a consultant who gave me full guidance, consultation and support in helping to prepare all the required documentation in the most efficient and reliable fashion in very short space of time for reasonable fee. But fee was not more important than my future and the investment I had already done on myself. I provided him the bank statements of only 3 months and i just got registered as self employed with HMRC 2 months before applying the case. But still he did it for me. Unbelievable, Anyways my timelines are:
Visa expiry date: 14 March
Application despatched: 13 March
CC charged: 14 March
Ref received: about 18 March
Passports received back: 4 April
In all it took about 20 calendar days in posting application and receiving the passports back with full four year extension for myself and one dependant.
Although I have got extension however my sympathies are still with all those who have suffered due to the change of rules after 8 Nov.
Believe me this 8/11 change of HSMP rules have become just like 9/11 US attacks for most of us...............
