Need urgent clearification

Post by nawaf24 » Wed Apr 22, 2015 3:32 pm

Hello

My current visa is expiring on 6th of May and I will be getting my CAS letter probably on same day or 1 day earlier, can I still apply on same day of expiry or not? also the 28 days rule, I exercised this rule last year and my friend told me it is only available to be exercised only once in lifetime , is this right ? will appreciate answer to these so I can plan my next week and set my exams location.

thanks!!

You can apply on the day your visa expires.

When you say '28 day rule' do you mean making an application within 28 days after visa expiry or 28 days before visa expiry.

within 28 days after visa expiry I mean

I used this rule once last year, but one of my friend told me if I used it once thats all! I can't use it this time and probably have to apply before visa expiry date, just wanted to know if I can apply again within 28 days after expiry, it will probably be 2-3 days at most I'm sure of this.

The 28-day period is not a grace period. You are still an overstayer, applying out of time, which is full of risks, hazards and issues. The first one is that your Tier 4 sponsor may not be happy to sponsor an out-of-time application at all.

I don't understand why you are actively considering making a risky late application, when it appears your CAS will be issued in time for you to apply in time. It seems perverse.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
