hike in HSMP fee

Post by satheeshkumar » Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:36 am

HI guys
I read in a news item that UK govt is proposing to increase the HSMP fee from 400 GBP to 600.
Does anyone know from which date this is going to be applicable?

I made a big mistake, I faxed them jus couple of days back for sending doc through courier (MBE) but probably sud have sent it a week before.

I don;t know what is the decision, thy said they cannot disclose through mail and that the documents are already dispatched through airmail.

I have to wait for documents to find out the decision. I hope i get back documents safely (bit worried about my documents).

That's quite worrying. Did they inform you that you should make arrangements for courier collection of your documents before sending them out? When was this in relation to the time you sent your fax?

Don't worry, odds are that it'll reach you safely!

They did not informed me about the decision. When I asked about my application status, I got reply that decision taken & documents dispatched on same day (29th Jan 08).

I sent fax a day before (not knowing the status), perhaps they looked at fax later.

Now I have to wait for airmail.

Anybody knows if airmail doc is delivered by registered post or they just "drop" at the place? Basically i want to know if the postman delivers at home (after getting signature) or drop the packet at common letter box?

(Sorry for asking silly question, but just bit anxious about my documents)

Thanks.

HSMP decesion has been made but unknown

Post by adeelmpk » Thu Feb 07, 2008 10:52 am

My HSMP application was made from UK on 10 Jan, assigned to case worker 18 Jan, I phoned today and they said that a decision has been made today and a "LETTER" will be sent out to you along the documents. She I asked me if I am in country which I replied yes.
However she refused to disclose decision over the phone. I am very anxious about the decision, does anyone know what it sounds like.
