Re: Another "how early can I apply for extension"

Alternatively, you can always provide some valid reason to HO to explain why you are applying earlier. When you apply for extension(under same category), you will be granted stay only after your current LTR expire. You can apply any time for extension. If in doubt, I would drop an email inquiry to H...

Ashishtlr,

I am also using the same form as not other form(version 11/08) is available on BIA website. Also you would need to apply for dependent on separate form (pbsdependantapplication.pdf version 11/08).

Hope senior members would correct if I am wrong.
