interesting point. I scoured uk ba site looking for wording which would clear up the matter, one way or another, but couldn't find anything which says 'applications made before april-06...' common sense and the spirit of the new rule implies that they should take the application date into considerat...

If you book an april-end or may start PEO date now(if at all possible) it may look suspicious to the c...

Re: tier 1 General Extension - full name on the back of Phot

I have already posted my extension application form. But I doubt I have written my Full name on the back of the photos. Is this a major mistake? have you tried calling uk ba customer care to ask them the same question ? my guess would be they ask for the name to be written so they can trace it back...

currently even credit/debit cards payment is being taken after 7 days, bankers draft you can add another 3 days on average.

my application had reached uk ba on 6-feb, paying by bankers draft, and i got my acknowledgement letter on 20-feb. still a long time to go for you before you need to worry

For T1 extension your passport needs to be valid at time of application, so you should be fine. Based on current processing times your application should get decided in 10-12 weeks for a postal application, far less for PEO application.
