Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
This page provides details of the time it will take us to process your application to the highly skilled migrant programme (HSMP).
Initial Highly Skilled Migrant Programme application (form HSMP1)
We aim to decide 50% of applications within five weeks, and 90% of applications within 14 weeks. Regrettably, due to a high volume of applications received over the past few months, we are currently experiencing delays in the processing of HSMP applications and this has had an impact on our service standards. We are working to reduce the high volume of applications and to minimise these delays.
We are currently considering applications received on 23 June 2008.
This notice will be updated on a weekly basis.
We are unable to offer an urgent treatment service at the moment because of the high volume of applications. We will keep this situation under regular review.
