For those applied in June (HSMP, FLR(IED) etc)

Dear All,

The Home Office has just changed contractor(from Atos Origin to Siemens) for payments for HSMP, leave to remain etc. This means there will be a short interruption during the change over period as applications are transferred between sites. Payment may also take longer dependning on the payment method - cheques take longer to clear then card transactions.
It might take some time, maybe 2 weeks(normally it use to take 2 days) for payments to get debitted from bank account either it was cheque, Debit card or Credit card.
In some cases, the post is re-directed to the new payment office which is also adding a day in the processing.

Regards,
