Hi,
I am a little concerned that no one has replied - is this such a complicated case?

Hi, HSMP Letter: Jul 2006 (Pre Nov 2006 case) First visa: Sep 2006 to Sep 2008 (HSMP) First Extension: Sep 2008 to Sep 2011 (Tier 1 - HSMP/FLR No points based) Second Extension: Jun 2011 to Jun 2013 (Tier 1 - HSMP/FLR No points based). Pls note that i entered UK two months later than the visa stampi...

On googleing, following link shows a request made to UKBA by someone and UKBA's response: http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/how_to_calculate_earliest_possib After snipping for brevity, the question goes as If (for example) a work permit holder is completing the qualifying period on 30th April 20...

Five years calculation is based on first via stamped date, provided the first entry to uk is within 90 days of visa stamping My visa stamping date is kind of irrelvant because i went for a 2nd extension. Visa stamp: Sep 2006 (HSMP) First entry Nov 25th 2006 First extension Aug 2008 (Tier 1 on JR) S...

Hi, I m planning to apply for ILR under HSMP +Tier 1 (pre nov 2006) thro' PEO. I entered UK on 25 Nov 2006. I assume i can apply ON 28 Oct 2011 (Friday). Can someone please confirm it? This date is *exactly* 28 days before completion of 5 years. I am not sure if i have to wait 1 more day or not. If ...

RK1980, Pls. take my suggestion with a pinch of salt - With extension they take biometrics and run additional checks (i think). But i would presume there is a larger probability of success with extension than ILR considering that your ILR is not straightforward. I would vote for going for the safer ...

Yes i got my Biometric card with visa validity for TWO years. At the moment i am not planning to ask them if it should ve been three years. I am planning to apply for ILR end of this year - so praying that it wouldnt matter.

Huh - they keep saying different things. The HSMP Forum Judicial Review (extension of stay) webpage in the UKBA website has the judicial review policy statement - and to quote from that: --Begin Quote-- Migrants who currently hold HSMP leave and have either applied for an extension of stay or will n...

I seemed to have received an approval letter today but its very confusing. To start with it says the extension is endorsed in the passport. I checked both my old and new passport and there are NO new vignettets / visa stamps. The letter doesnt talk anything whatsoever with respect to bio-metric card...

Namboos74, I was exactly in your same position (HSMP covered by JR/extended once). I wanted to extend second time (because of 2 months shortage for ILR) and i used the FLR Tier 1(HSMP) form dated April 2011. The good news (at least from your perspective is) i submitted it personally in Croydon PEO a...

Many thanks to everyone for the encouragement and advice. Mk357 - You are right - i could ve got the stamping corrected/extended. But it was wishful thinking that why not get another extension and mitigate any potential risk if i had to make an urgent travel in coming months. But Murphy's law always...

Hi, Initial HSMP visa: Sep 2006-Sep 2008. First Extension in 2008: Sep 2008-Sep 2011 based on HSMP Judicial review. I had a 2 months shortage to ILR since i initially entered the country late and hence I had recently applied for another extension based on FLR Tier 1 (HSMP) using premium service, no ...
