Dear Shakir

I have called HO several times with a hope that I may get some solution to the issue but they simply are concerned with re-issuance of Approval Letter only they dont have any interest in our priceless documents.
HO could have charged applicants for a registered mail in addition to the application fee and I dont see any reason anybody would have argued.
The fact is that we have to face this rubbish :cry:

They will not do anything other than saying a very deep sorry and then offering you reprint of your approval letter. Be calm and keep hopes alive we still have much much chances of getting back those docs.
Dont worry I know we'll get those

Dear All,
Well a surprising thing happen yesterday about my HSMP case. One of BHC person visited my home for verification and asked me to get a report from Police station saying that I don’t have criminal records.

Today I get the report from Local police station and that person will be collecting it by evening. I think this is some thing new in HSMP cases especially visiting home is totally new thing.

Waiting comments and suggestions or any thing to ask to that BHC person (as we will meet when he will be collecting police report from me )
Is there any person who has heard the case of visiting home by BHC for initial HSMP?

please note that My Application reached HO on 30th of Nov 2007.

Regards,
Kash

Hi shakirpa & bilalofned,

One thing we have to analyse is that 3 of us has not received the documents since it has been dispatched. So I think it is normal.....atleast 1 out of 3 had to receive the docs, but none of us......so i feel nothing to worry. Some of them may be lucky to receive it early.

If you check Royal mail site..there is an international mail system called as Surface mail(which is cheaper & safer....as they mention) & officially they say that it will take 8-12 weeks for Asian countries.......SO my thinking is HO uses the same mail facility.

Hi Softlogic20

Its really strange for me at least, as I have not found a single case like that so far on the forum in any of the regions. Do ask him to confirm his ID if you have not done that earlier.

Hi,

I have a similar case, HO sent my docs to a wrong address and I get this information from reply of my email. I checked at my local post office and they said that they returned it after 2 days.

Now after checking from HO they have not received my returned documents yet. According to post man of my local post office he has not seen returned address on back of the mail they returned but not sure about it.

also see the last post on this page

my timelines are
Application sent: 18 Dec 2007
Application received 22 Dec.
Got reference no: 2 Jan 2008
decision and docs dispatched: 16 Jan 2008
Doc returned back on 21 Jan (got this when I checked local post office
on 26th Jan after getting email from HO about wrong address)

So see if this the case for you guys.

Very sad news

Without from address and proper To address and the post not being registered how to get back one's document?. Its really a bad situation

I will suggest for all out of country applicants to arrange for courier pickup

For in country applicants royal mail is very safer also it is recorded

But its pathetic to send original documents through airmail for out of country applicants

I am still wondering why the home office is not thinking to send registered post back to out off country applicants. (International Signed for Royal mail post). It is going to cost just 4£ to 5£ extra and any applicant will be very happy to bear that extra cost for registered post. sending by airmail is one of the worst part of home office

Hi Shakir,

Its better to wait for some more days.....because I think it would be a big trouble to re-apply for our, graduation & PG certificate, birth cerficate, naric letter, medium of english letter, etc....a big list.

As far as the mailing address that we have provided is correct it should reach us.

what do you think?

Hi Guys

Today I completed my 12 Weeks of agony and pain.
I think we should move to have duplicates now and for those who have got the decision must request for reprint and collect that via courier.

Hi
I think it would be better to started gathering duplicate documents as it takes time, 20 days to 1 month and its very tough job to go back to every institute and organization for degrees and letters.

One more thing, keep in mind that you have 6 months (3 are already gone) from date of decision for validity of letter so make sure you launch application in time.

best of luck, bilalofned

Many thanks hsmp1000 that what I already suggested to other guys as well.

Yes I called several time HO but their reply is same i.e. request for reprint and forget the originals.

I wonder why have not they thought of including the registered mail charges to the normal HSMP fee. :evil:

Hi Shakir

If you see the checklist given in VAF form you at will definitely have to show your educational docs in original at least and for that duplicates have to be collected. further you have to show your work experience and in this regard all your work exp letters are required to be attached. Thirdly your salary slips.

Hi Guys

I still have not received any Docs or letter. Infact I requested for Duplicate Letter to HO and have received that only due to the collection through courier. Requests and procedures for issuance of duplicate docs is also in progress. I would suggest to not to lose time any more and request for duplicates.
