Ashvin,

Sorry for butting in... where did you get this info? Could you please be more specific - what visa and what visa officer? As you know there are two stages of getting HSMP status - firstly, getting HSMP approved by HSMP team in Sheffield and secondly, get either FLR from the IND in Croydon or entry clearance at British High Commission.
What exactly did you mean by "very difficult to get the visa under HSMP"?
Thanks

and in what fields are they short of skilled workers? The UK could be short skilled workers in engineering and biochemistry, yet are still getting immense amounts of computer programmers when the market is already saturated in that industry.
