Hello people,
I have a 12 months Tier 5 visa (government exchange) that expires on 30th April. I asked for the renewal of my fellowship but I didn't have any answer until now (it is a Brazilian fellowship and it is delayed due to the crisis there). I had planned trips to Rome and Berlin in the next weekends, a concert in Birmingham on 15th May and I booked my outbound ticket to Brazil on 19th. I did all of that assuming that I would have my extension and my flight is booked to 19th because I have a friend's marriage there on 21th.
Now I don't know what is the least worst option to me:
a) Cancel the trips and overstaying until my flight (but remember that I am asking for a renewal of my fellowship to extend also my Tier 5 visa).
b) Go to Rome and ask for a visitor visa for 20 days on my return to England.
c) Try to change the ticket and leave UK before expire date (that can be difficult due bureaucratic reasons - landlord, bills, city council and son).
And besides all of that I was OK because I misunderstood this phrase: "You can stay in the UK for up to 12 or 24 months (depending on the scheme you’re applying for) or the time given on your certificate of sponsorship plus 28 days, whichever is shorter."
I thought that the "plus 28 days" would apply for any situation (by the way my CoS ends on 23th of July).
I would appreciate any help or thoughts that you can provide! Cheers!
