HSMP holders applying for FLR under Tier 1 (after JR)

Hi all,

I filed for FLR on 30 April (HSMP -> Tier1).

I was just wondering if there is anyone here who has applied for FLR (switching from HSMP to Tier1) after the successfull JR verdict (specifically after the second week of April. i.e., after HO had enough time to mull over the JR verdict) and had their application approved.

I am asking this because I came across a few posts which indicate that people have applied for FLR during/after second week of April and the decision is still pending.

Thanks,
summertime

hello

i have applied for flr on 14th may and hoping them to consider my application under pre nov 2006 criteria

Since the JR is being refered to, I think the topic is for applicants currently in the UK on HSMP visa and are applying for extension (further leave to remain) under Tier 1.

Your case is entirely different as you have applied for EC.

Good luck to you

hsmpinuk70,
I think he applied for FLR and not EC, so what he said was correct

FLR or EC ?? Apply for FLR but get an EC.

I believe he is switching (initial entry) to Tier 1 with an approved HSMP letter in hand and had applied for EC from India. Probably unaware of difference between FLR and EC, so a typo error maybe.
