Greetings

A question for those who have paid their HSMP fee using a credit card: is the fee charged by the payment processing service on the (next)day it is received at Heavens Walk or by the Work Permits (UK) when it is assigned to a case worker (weeks after receipt)?

Many thanks

The fee gets debited by the Payment Team in Doncaster. Typically they would try to debit your card the same day or next day per receipt of application.

So yes; they just charged my card today (and the app was delivered yesterday). So the clock's ticking now :-)

Yes they charged mine the same day. However the entry came as Work Permits(UK) Sheffield. I sent my application to Doncaster

Just thought I'd let you know my experience. My application package was received in Doncaster on 20 Feb. Today, my credit card was charged (24 Feb). So, it seems like the charge isn't immediate, but not long after receipt. Oh...and the charge indicates it comes from the Home Office, Sheffield. Must be where all the charges (in country and out...my app came from the States) get recorded.

Melyni,

This is correct. Credit card charges are applied to the ledger 3 days later, and mine also was charged on Feb 20 and funds debited Feb 24! Lets keep in touch to see what happens to our apps :-)

Tech - While, I have interviewed, the req for "my" position doesn't exist yet. I'll hear in April. That's for a "transfer" to our London ops. If that doesn't work out, I'll cast a wider net.

By going by posts, it is very clear that only following categories getting approved lately.

You have to be under 28 or
you should have job in UK with immediate start date.

Rest of the crowd has to play the waiting game
