Rare and Weird case of HSMP....your thoughts requred!!

[maniyo]

I applied for HSMP application against the qualifying criteria – under 28 in March 2006 from India. I received reply from Home office dated 11th may 2006 stating that my application had been refused as I don't have 4 years graduate level work experience.

With reference to refusal letter I applied for first review and second review with detail explanation how I am eligible for minimum 35 points in Work Experience section but on both the occasions I got the reply from home office stating that decision of awarding me 25 points in work experience is correct.

I wasn't satisfied with the review answers and explanation as I clearly have more than 4 years experience hence I complaint to WPUK complaint team through email on 22.02.2008 and on the basis of same complaint and exceptional review I received letter dated 04.03.2008 from Home office stating that my application is approved against HSMP Qualifying Criteria under 28 and I scored 65 points or more in six HSMP scoring areas.

please let me know that whether JR will apply to my case as I suffered for 2 years due to case worker's mistake.

Thanks

a. Received a Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) approval letter issued under the requirements in place before 7 November 2006;
b. Were granted Entry Clearance or an Extension of Stay on the basis of that letter; and
c. Fall into one of the following three categories:
i. Currently hold HSMP leave and have either applied for an extension of stay or will need to do so in the future;
ii. Have been refused an extension of stay under the “newâ€
