United Kingdom. S1 2JA

It was recieved by 28th Feb. I was looking into different forums that HO deals with Payments in next three days. But thats UP now. No EMAIL No Payment untill now.

Hi babar

what is your payment method ? e.g Credit Card, Cheque or Bank Draft.

Regards

Credit Card.

I have confirmed from bank they do'nt have any rejected or approved transaction untill now.

I also called HO they said that rigth now they do'nt have the tracking number in their system even some of them have recieved the docs and signed also.

Just tell me is there any issue with address as It is Initial HSMP Application from Pakistan.

Address seems OK.

But make sure that your Credit Card is opened for online transactions. Call your bank and confirm if online transactions on your credit card are opened or not. In case charging team is not able to deduct the fee they would send you applicate back immediately. this is what they did with me two months back.

anyways best of luck for your application.

Yes I have opened that for Online Transactions and I have also confirmed no. of times that this is opened or not

Anyhow if the payment is the problem then I might have recieved the application back untill now as it is going to be 4th day after they have been recieved.

Ok then Call HO again and ask them about the status of your application.

By the way, you never receive documents from HO in 4 days. it takes 3-4 weeks. And in some one of cases you might lost your documents like me.

and one more advice, please arrange for courier pickups and do not trust on Pakistan Mail. spending some money for this is better than losing your original documents forever.

Wish you best of luck.

You can search the forum with key work "Courier Pickup/Collection".

You can also find different ways of courier pickups on this sticky thread.

call up the HO and ask them to check whether your application is in their system already and ask your bank to notify you immediately when the payment has been charged. then follow-up with both.

Thanks you All.

This Step Is Clear as they debited the fee today. Now I will arrange the pick up after getting the Ref. Number from Them.

I have applied on 3 March from India. Document were delivered on 5 March. I have sent a HSBC UK cheque along with my application. Will it delay my application process becoz of the cheque payment???

What can I comment...

Now a day HO is extremely busy as they said. There can be delay but do'nt take it serious. Just have in good hopes.

BEST OF LUCK

i think they hold your application for three or five business days until the check clears - before your app is passed on to the hsmp team - with a credit card app this takes about a day.
