由于目前申请英国高技术移民的人数大大超出移民局的预期范围，因此移民局已经无法达
到以前公布的6周处理时间。在备有全套的辅助证明资料的前提下，HSMP小组预期申请材料
将至少耗时12周才能完成审核：该周期以移民局查收材料的日期为准。请注意，移民局不
会通知申请人已经收到申请材料。

Highly Skilled Migrant Programme applications
23 April 2004
Due to an unexpected increase in the number of HSMP applications
received, it is no longer possible to meet the current published
timescales for assessing complete applications. The HSMP team estimates
that applications submitted with full supporting evidence will take at
least 12 weeks from the date of receipt to be considered. Please note, we
do not acknowledge receipt of applications.
