Are you sure you were not checking a thread about old HSMP application instead of Tier 1? Could you please share the URL address of that thread that you were checking?

Hi Irf_bar:

Thanks for the reference link.
I think dec25born who provided this information of 19 Feb is applying HSMP from USA. Unless HSMP and Tier 1 sharing the same processing queue in HO, we don't have stick to that date.

By reading all of your comments it just shows how stupid ,incompetent and unhelpful the home office is currently for tier-1 applications .... they just kept pushing and not giving the information we need and on the other hand applications get approved and stamped (like mine) .....

i would still encourage you all to keep ringing the home office and keep asking them. maybe one of the person who picks the home might give some useful information.

good luck to you all

Ayleee

Better to write a separate covering letter for dependants as well.

Hi Abhishek,
Here is the simple covering letter :-)...u can modify as per your requirement.

===========

27 March, 2008


Border and Immigration Agency
Tier 1 (General)
PO Box 496
Millburngate House
Durham
DH99 1WQ



Sub: Covering letter for Dependant Application




Dear Sir/Madam,


I, XXXXXXXXX, would like to apply for my wife XXXXX as dependant along with my Initial Tier 1 (General) application.

I hereby enclosed the following documents in original along with the dependant application.

• Passport
• Marriage certificate
• 12 Month Bank statements to support the maintenance funds

Request you to consider the Bank statements provided for my “previous earningsâ€

As long as they pay slip(Net) and bank statements deposits matches...there is no problem.

If there is a descripany/it may not be clear for third person to understand then u may explain that in the cover letter so that case worker will understand. Actually case worker checks for two things for previous earnings

1).Gross pay : They will check your pay slips and add the gross pay of every month for all the months you claim( 12 or 11)
2).They will cross the amount deposited in the bank (with bank statements) with the net pay mentioned in the pay slip

Thats it....:-)

I have a great news to share with the forum.

Just called HO there was a lady over the phone, she initially said we are not supposed to provide any information.I told her I need to travel.

Then she asked for my reference number ,name,DOB,Nationality.She looked in the system and said yes decision was made on 3rd April and it was positive and I must be receiving documents back by this week.

Cheers

get kumars,

Congrats
U are lucky..I called up justnow and the lady i spoke to was not ready to give me any info too, not even whether my case is assigned to any case worker...So i guess need to keep calling....till i get someone sensible.
I dont get the reason why they dont give us any information. Its best if they do , otherwise we'll keep calling them again and again..wasting their time too.
I liked your idea though..i shall do that next time
BTW what are your timeslines.....
