Re: Urgent Travel outside UK- Tier 1 extension application with Home office

Sorry to hear for the urgency. I find it such unfair on HO’s part for treating applicants the way they are. The delay affects one’s personal and professional life severely. I think you can write a letter to HO or your MP explaining the situation. (Attach any documents if you have showing the urgency...

Re: Home office unable to locate the information

Dont worry about it. The online tracking system is a beta version and is not reliable. It actually gives different “last updated dates” when I try with IHS or case ID. Sometimes it cant even locate me at all! May be try after a couple of days. As far as the HO lady could not locate you with your nam...

Re: want to get married during T1 extension

I am kind of in the same situation!

I have heard that you can request an attested copy of your passport from the HO which will be valid for the registry purpose.


(Please correct me if I am wrong)

But that might help you!

I am not sure if they called me on my mobile number or business landline as my business landline is also diverted to my mobile. I cant be sure of that until I get the next month's bill.
