HSMPLOCHA wrote:In the approval letter that comes with the stamped passports one of the sentence reads.....
"This extension of your leave to remain completly replaces your previous leave including any conditions that were attached to that leave"
Two questions.........
1. Does it mean rules of tier 1 apply to us after switching from HSMP (if so bad news according to me)
2. does everyone with an approval has this in their letter
I will check mine tonight as well.
I think yes, our HSMP is no longer valid after switch to Tier 1, so why sad? any negative points you see?
Cheers,
Wasa
