You can fill the online application, line up your evidence and supporting documents for upload and submit the application on returning from Canada. Note that so far you submit before expiration of current leave there is nothing to fear.adlrose wrote: ↑Sun Sep 05, 2021 11:27 amHi there,
I've tried to find the answer to this but have read some unclear answers so I thought I'd take a shot.
I've received some conflicting advice about if applications are or are not valid/official until your biometrics are submitted vs. when the application is submitted online (I know the home office bases its decision off of the online submission date).
My dilemma:
BRP expiration date: October 8, 2021
60-months under LR (M): September 9, 2021
I want to submit my application as soon as possible now that I'm eligible especially since biometric and Super Priority appointments are hard to come by. Obviously, I want to buy myself as much time as possible in the process.
However, I absolutely have to go back to Canada for 2-weeks this month for family reasons and don't arrive back in the UK until September 25th.
If I wait to submit the online application that only gives me 13-days before my expiration date which gives me a bit of anxiety. It doesn't leave a lot of room for potentially snagging an important Super Priority appointment or a biometrics appointment within 45-days of submission.
Now I've received conflicting advice on this! Can I submit my online application before I go to Canada and then have my biometrics appointment after I return? The logic here is that they now only need digital copies of documents (like passports) instead of physical copies and the application isn't actually processed or considered until I'm back anyway. However, I've also read that travelling after submitting only the online application could be grounds for refusal?
Submitting before also poses a situation where I wouldn't declare my 16-day trip to Canada on the application (as time outside the UK) as it's still in the future.
Any guidance would be appreciated here! Do I have to take the risk of submitting the online application when I'm back at the end of Sept?
Thank you for this!CR001 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 26, 2021 7:32 pmYour supporting documents must be dated on or before the date you submit and pay online, which is the application date. Your biometrics appointment is irrelevant to this.
If you choose to withdraw, you can reapply at any time, there is no exclusion period. Refunds can take many weeks though.
You don't have to wait for your next official statement. Go to the bank and get them to print one!
Your payslips must match the pay credit in your corresponding bank statement.
