Hi,
I need help regarding the timeline for the stamping FLR with HSMP approval letter. I have sent my appication yesterday to HO and now i need to travel back to India this month end. Would like to know how many days it'll take for the stamping?

at_ja,

When you say "they" whom do u refer to?? also my friend had applied for FLR with a valid HSMP approval letter and got a acknowledgement letter with ref. no. & saying the applcation will be processed in 28 days and if not give a call after that?

confusing now??

They means the home office customer service,when we called after 28 days

i applied on 30th May and got reference no on 3rd June. And the letter says
It takes only 28 days.

Please refrain from duplicate posts. Important to realize why.

Until the reason to travel is extremely sensitive / compelling, I don't think BIA will entertain your request for urgent consideration.

Moreover, there is no option of "urgent treatment" for Tier 1 (unlike HSMP). Even for HSMP applications, the BIA website states that they are not accepting urgent treatment requests to due to huge backlog of applications.

Suggest you call BIA helpline, explain your circumstances as to why you need to travel on 29-Jun and see what they to say. Else, looks like the only option you have is to withdraw your application.
