Reposting : Applying tier1 & tier2 getting expired.

Post by psappuin » Sat Jul 10, 2010 11:59 am

Hello

I am on a tier2 WP and my visa is expiring on 20 Aug 2010. I do qualify for tier1 and planning to apply.

I am a bit confused and need some pointer on the following:

1. How much time will the Home Office take to revert back with a decision of granting me a visa or rejection?

2. If they reject the visa and revert back after 20 Aug 2010, will my current employer be able to extend my tier 2 visa? I am bit scared if the home office does not allows me to file an extension for the tier 2 post 20 Aug. In that case I will have to leave UK which I cannot afford atleast till Nov.

I have tried the online appointment but there are no date, tried calling few agents as well. Also, I need to apply before 19 July because the rules are again changing and I will not qualify then Sad

Any pointer will be appriciated.

I was in almost the same situation as urs. Its tricky. The HO says you are allowed to stay in-country until ur application is with the HO. If you apply and ur tier-1 gets rejected, i think u will have to leave the country and apply for tier-2 from ur home country. This is if the tier-1 refusal is post 20 aug. If HO comes back with a refusal before 20 aug, u can apply for tier-2 extension incountry.
