Dear All,

Recently got HSMP approval as an out-bound applicant. I am appealing for anyone who has got his/her EC from Nigeria recently for advice on what stages to go through and documents to submit. Also, which form to be completed.

Thank you.

Dear All, I know that several discussions in the past have been held to discuss this issue, but would gladly welcome valuable suggestions from the group on this issue. My friend applied for the HSMP in March and the response was that 'With reference to paragraph 7.2.1 of the HSMP guidance notes, the ...

Just like the previous person mentioned, as of today you do not necessarily need to have been in full-time employment before your leave could be extended. What you need to proof therefore, is the fact that you are actively making effort to get a job by providing all relevant evidences of the job ...

congratulations and I hope you must be relieved now? Could you explain more what changes you made in your appeal and what you think could have contributed to the approval after the first rejection?

I received the same letter, I guess it's just all about information been made available to you to know what to do before or shortly after the 3 years.

... you guys just have to keep trying. I got through twice on Friday around 13:00hr and spoke with a lady. It was very hard and you will need to keep re-dialing several times. Very frustrating indeed.

When I applied, I included my spouse's name and travelling document. We were both given the extention and was charged just £121 on the credit card. I will suggest you contact the HO about the double charges so they could rectify the problem. You should be charged ONCE!

The only correspondence I received from HO was the acknowledgement that the application was received and that a decision would be made soon. Nothing more and it was after this that the real package arrived.

The doc I sent include: Pay slips April '04 - Feb. '05 Bank Statements April '04 - Feb. '05 Original copy of my letter of employment (contract till May '05) Mortgage Offer Utility bills - BT, Council Tax e.t.c.. Professional membership confirmation - CIPD Medical card (NHS) Cover letter I used ...

Hi everyone on board, I am delighted to inform you that I have got my FLR for 3 years. Thanks so much for your tips and advice.

Please assist, I am sure there has been a thread on this discussion somewhere before. Can you advice me on the best time to apply for 3 yr FLR please. Is it 2 months before the 1 year EC expires of 5 weeks before it expires.

Sorry for taking you guys back

What about the ILR?

I am also in UK under the HSMP with my husband. I know how frustrating it can be sometimes when you just relocate, before you finally settle down. Can you really settle down before you get the ILR. Not to worry. My husband & I are working full time and getting settled. If there is anyone there who ...
