And now the date has gone back one week.... really, to publish the readily available information from the Home Office web site on here is a bit cheap and not useful to the people that are reading these posts, as it is never a true indication of what is actually happening and is simply a copy and paste from publicly available information - let's provide some real value and tell people what they CANNOT find out for themselves.

Dear Friend,

I do not think it is a bad idea to publish the details here as many people may not be knowing the home office web site url. If we can have all the relevant information at one place it will save our time of searching various sites / sources and then sifting / navigating thru hundreds of sites and I am sure those of us who are not Net Savvy will love all info in one place

I hope you agree

Hi,

I have been visiting the HSMP web page for about 5 months now and I observe that its only the processing of HSMP applications that are very slow. Currently I think it takes about 30 - 32 weeks unless the dates on the web site www.workingintheuk.gov.uk are not correct.

Any ideas about what is happening?

Although it would be nice to trust the date on the HO website (July 12th), I do not believe it is correct:

In my experience, I have unfortunately found it more accurate to go with dates of applicants posted on bulletin boards than with any date published on the Home Office's website.

Oh, and when I say the Home Office website is inaccurate, I am referring to the current operational processing information at www.workingintheuk.gov.uk

It looks like the processing time for HSMP has increased. The latest update (?) of July 2005 indicates that 79% of the decisions are made within 14 weeks, but it seems the HO is unable to meet the timeline. It would have been nice to post the realistic information in their website to allow people to know about more or less actual information about it such that people could plan accordingly. Otherwise, people are lost in the sky!!!

HELLO www.hsmp-services.co.uk

I like to leave little "helps" after reading a good blog, or going over the blog comments, just to start people thinking about, well, everything.

2006 is just around the corner.

Thought about what you would like to achieve next year?

Did you do all you wanted to do this year, personally, professionally and perhaps spiritually?

My guess is; probably not. Most people don't know how to set workable goals and if they do, the don't know how to manage them.

When is the last time you actually took time to write down all you would like to do and accomplish in life? Or even a few of the small things you would like to do but didn't think would be possible?

We all have the potential to get almost anything we want out of life. It just takes a little work, thinking and action.

The first step is knowing how to set effective goals and then of course, how to follow up on them. That's the hard part. Following up.

How would you like to actually make this years New Years Resolution come true? Of course it would have to be attainable, and possible, but you could do it if you knew how.

Curious?

Use the FREE information @ How To Set Goals and have a really GREAT NEW YEAR.

All the BEST!

HI www.hsmp-services.co.uk

After a good read on blogs like this I like to leave little tips on goal setting. You know, the things you used to dream of when you were young, or even now.

A lot of research has shown that only those who set goals are likely to achieve their dreams.

When is the last time you really sat down and wrote a few short term and long term goals down?

What? It's been that long!

A new year is coming. You could do the same things you did this year and achieve the same results you did with your life dreams last year…

…or you could visit Effective Goal Setting and read all the FREE information on setting goals and getting what you want out of life

OR

you could just piddle on through life hoping for the best, like most people do.

Which will it be?

You really can have a lot more of everything than you do now. All you gotta do is know what you want and have a plan.

Have a GREAT New Year!

Greetings www.hsmp-services.co.uk, you have a pretty cool blog here. I was searching for home office work permit uk. I just started my home business and you can see it at this link - home office work permit uk. Your post title caught my eye - Working in the UK - Current Operational Service Levels. I'm just looking for tips on how to be a better mentor. I know that’s not what you’re going on about in this post but I am trying to expand my vocabulary phrases so I can talk to many different personalities. I mean I have to talk to a lot of people and I need to be able to connect with everyone.

Anyways www.hsmp-services.co.uk, this helped. Keep it up, I'll be back.

Bush goes ballistic about other countries being evil and dangerous, because they have weapons of mass destruction. But, he insists on building up even a more deadly supply of nuclear arms right here in the US. What do you think? What is he doing to us, and what is he doing to the world?
If ever there was ever a time in our nation's history that called for a change, this is it!
The more people that the government puts in jails, the safer we are told to think we are. The real terrorists are wherever they are, but they aren't living in a country with bars on the windows. We are.

Our country is in debt until forever, we don't have jobs, and we live in fear. We have invaded a country and been responsible for thousands of deaths.
