Hi,

I have a question on the date of qualification for settlement under HSMP JR.

I had applied to HSMP and received an acknowledgement letter of the application on 30th March 2006( just 4 days earlier than HSMP cutoff date- 3rd April 2006) , and I had received the HSMP approval letter on 26 April 2006.

Does anyone know if Home Office keeps the exact dates when the HSMP application was received?

I would not qualify for ILR under HSMP-JR, if Home Office considers the approval date.

I think they go by the date of the application, not the approval - as long as that application was successful, which yours was - so you are in luck

HSMP INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN (ILR) JUDICIAL REVIEW: POLICY DOCUMENT wrote:Who does this document apply to?
a. Received an HSMP approval letter issued on the basis of an application made before 3 April 2006;

You are covered by this JR and can apply for ILR after 4 yeras.

Could you please PM me the phone no. / email address of the Immigration Enquiry team. Thanks!

regards

I have called the immigration inquiry bureau number listed in the guidelines document.
