Thanks for your reply. I came to UK late for about 2 years. I came here in April 2012 after getting my first Visa Stamped on Feb 2010. So, I would be needing further extension. My Query is:: How long would I be granted second extension after expiry of my 3+2 Period? Your help is appreciated please....

I don't think it is unlawful to accept a longer extension, although you can have it corrected if you want. Thanks Ram, is there an email address for this kind of enquiries? To be honest I am not too worried about it. The only concern is what would happen when I apply for my ILR in 2 years time. I t...

What is mentioned on UKBA website is not necessarily law. It is necessary to see what the immigration rules say, because that is the law. Immigration rules clearly say that if you were granted visa as per the rule applicable on 6th April 2010 or later, extension will be for 3 years. Yes. thats corr...

Yes I was confused about this. But a member pointed above that it is £578 which is in non PBS list. So I have concluded that applying separately is just an application for LEAVE TO REMAIN for which the fee is £561 and it will be £578 from 6th April. I still wish if one of the seniors comment on thi...

Also i have just noticed that dependent fee will be same as main applicant if not applying at the same time as main applicant.

You should not get your accountant stamp/signature on this because its your ltd company, your accountant has nothing to do with this resolution/board meeting. You as director need to sign this and if possible do it on company letter head with company seal. I am going for PEO next week.My dividend l...

You may add some margin if you delay your biometrics. I think there is 15 days limit.

Hi Guys, Would appreciate response in this regard. Thanks Manish This should not be of much worry. Just make sure whoever is signing, his/her name is clear.

Thanks sushdmehta. It is true for the second sentence. But the first sentence ( If you have limited leave to enter or remain in the UK and wish to extend your visa, you must apply within 28 days of your current visa expiring ) doesnot mention about overstay. Please let me know if any other document...

You are confusing it with admin review/grant date.
