so are you saying i should do an appeal?

the whole scenario is so sad because by now i have completed my 10 year period with less than 540 day stay, and I am a hardworking, tax paying citizen, a government employee serving the public as an NHS doctor. And now i only have a few days to somehow get a tier 2 visa. Otherwise they will kick me ...

I was on a tier 4 student visa for 8 years and tier 2 visa for 3 years.

I am stressed because of the 14 day period they have given me.

I have emailed the hospital now and they will let me know what happens next. I will keep you all informed.

Thank you ever so much

Sorry my mistake, I got confused. Someone else had suggested to go for AR, meaning appeal just to get more time to sort out tier 2 visa application even though appeal will fail most likely. Sorry!

Thanks everyone for help so far!

Your 'tier 2' won't be extended automatically if that is what you mean. You have to submit an application and explain. What is your total absence in the last 10 years and the exact wording of the refusal? Did you have any absence of 180 days or more in one go? No absences over 180 days. I had absen...

Do you have any advise for when I apply for my tier 2 visa now. Should i go through a solicitor? Where should i make a note that I do not have a passport with me. Are there potential areas where I have to be careful? I am a doctor for the NHS, and mainly my absences are from when i used to travel ho...

Unlikely you will get your passport back as you have no valid visa. HO would normally return it to you if and when you notify them you are leaving the UK and you get it at the airport. If you submit another application, you need to write a cover note that your passport is already with the SET LR de...

The fastest safest route is to extend your Tier 2 if your employer is willing to do that. That gets you the time to make up your valid period of stay for 10 years and / or work to tier 2 5 year route. You have to get your tier 2 extension in before your appeal period ends or go for AR to give a lit...

thank you so much for the reply zimba.

That is exactly what i am planning to do.

But i still havent received my passport back from them so that is really stressing me out. What should i do?
