Thank you very much.

Reading through again and with your clarification I get the requirement now.

Hello I have the following question. I met my girlfriend here in the UK. She was a student when we started a relationship. I work under Tier 2 before I met her. She left UK before her student visa expired. She came back to UK with a tourist-visitor visa to visit me. We will get married next year in ...

Hello Thank you guys for your advice. All of it is really useful. 'Vinny' and 'Frontier Mole' know a lot about Home Office regulations. Thank you again. As you both said, some articles say one thing and other in some particular circumstances clash with other, I guess the final decision in my ...

Hello Yes, I checked with my sponsor and my COS was still valid and assigned to me in the SMS. The COS is possible to be reused if the application is not refused. My application was rejected, so it is possible (Paragraph 188 Tier 2 Guidance). As vinny mentioned, the paragraph 78D makes reference to ...

Thanks for reply

The concession you mentioned is the 14 days of grace to avoid the overstayer status?

Yes. My employer ended my contract as you said. I wasn't sure if the labour market is required in this situations.

Well, If you know any article or paragraph in which that situation is mentioned, just let me know, I've been digging the HO documents but I cannot find anything about that.

Thanks for your reply. No worries. So many articles to try to combine for a particular case. Anyway, what do you think is my case then, if my 3C ended when the letter was served and I did a valid application during the 14 days period, but the appointment for the visa interview will be after the 14 ...

I found this in the 3C regulation "Where the application becomes invalid because of a failure to provide biometrics the Supreme Court clarified that section 3C leave came to an end at the point the Home Office serves a notice of invalidity." That is why I thought the 3C leave ends at the time of the ...

I didn't get the biometric letters. The HO said they sent two letters, but they sent them without tracking delivery service, so there is no way to see where the letters were. The first letter I got after my application from the HO was the rejection letter.

Any ideas how to resolve this issue?

Thanks for your reply.

In that case, when is my 3c leaves ended? I had it at some point due to I submit an application before visa expired, but if you said that once the application is invalid, there is no 3c leaves, what do you think is my place in the whole situation?

Regards

Hello. This is my case. I did a valid application to extend my visa Tier 2 before it was expired. After two months, I didn't get the biometric letter. The letter that I got said that my application was rejected as invalid because I did not provide biometrics. The HO retained my passport because my ...
