Travel out of UK whe Visa extension is applied

Post by nanoparticle » Fri Sep 23, 2016 10:19 am

Hi
I am on Tier 2 ICT Visa and have applied for extension, I got biometric done on 26th Aug, but no decision yet. I have to travel for an emergency next week back to my country for a month. My current VISA expired on 10th Sept, if I travel to my country with expired VISA but get my BRP posted in my country and then return with new BRP., would UK BA mark it as overstay?
Will it impact later when I apply for ILR? Or will there be any issues getting back to UK?

Did you not submit your passport with your application?

If you follow your proposed route there is an incredibly high risk of complications.
Firstly if the visa is refused and you are overseas you will have no right of entry and will not be allowed back in the UK. It will also start the 1 year cooling off period for Tier 2 re-entry.

The next issue.... Once you leave the UK without the decision being made it is officially deemed as abandoned. given the expiry date has passed it leaves you very vulnerable to an eagle eyed Border Force officer working out you were out the country beyond your expiry date when the decision was made assuming you return with the new BRP.

All in all I believe it is way to risky what your proposing.
