I can no longer find the detailed guidance document for tier 2 extensions. Would anyone have the link to share with me?
Also, I have a few questions, if someone could please help?
- My employer originally obtained a 5 year CoS (in 2018), but I only applied for a 3 year visa due to costs. I'm now looking to extend. Does my employer need to obtain a new CoS before I apply?
What is the time frame I need to apply in? My current visa expires mid-September, this year but I have overseas travel booked for end of July for 1 week (moved from last year due to Covid). Can I apply in April/May?
I want to apply for ILR after this extension, and the guidance says I need to be here for at least 5 years. So can I extend for more than 2 years, if I apply for the extension as early as April/May. This would mean my extension would need to be at least 2.5 years to get to to September 2023. Is this possible?
