Admin error on HO side or not ?

Hi,

Recently extended Tier 2 leave successfully. I first got Tier 2 in March 2016 for 3 years and applied to extend it to further 3 years until Feb 2022, however, HO has granted extension for only 20 months and not full 3 years. I believe they have counted 6 years from first time I entered in UK on Tier 4. Could this be an admin error?

Tier 4 - Aug 2014 to Jan 2016 - First time entered in UK on 07/09/2014
Switched from Tier 4 to Tier 2- March 2016 to Feb 2019
Extended Tier 2- Jan 2019 to Sep 2020 (until 07/09/2020)

Recent Cos clearly stated 3 years period and same was mentioned on application form.

Have they counted period on Tier 4 visa as well towards 6 years of total stay on Tier 2 ? As it makes exact 6 years since I entered UK.

Is it worth writing to them or their discretion to grant as long as they want ?

How much IHS fee you paid

Paid £1800 in total with 2 dependents for 3 years ( 3 years * 3 dependents * £200 = £1800), they refunded £ 900.
But how come they gave less period then requested?

this seems strange .

I think you should write to caseworker for explanation.

Or wait for seniors advice here

What did the CoS state exactly??

Exact date on recent Cos
Start date : 01/03/2019 ( last visa expiry date 28/02/2019)
End date: 28/02/2022

Do you think it can be an error on their part ? Or is this done for a reason?

What were the dates for both of your COSs and the dates on the BRPs?

I got 6 years exactly for example, moving from Tier 4 to Tier 2 within the UK. First Tier 2 issued 24.08.16, second finishing on 24.08.22, though my second COS was until 23.08.22. I assume they gave that one extra day as they couldnt give me the full 14 days they usually do after the COS end date as that would take me beyond 6 years.

1st Cos
Start Date : 15/02/2016 End Date: 14/02/2019

1st BRP
Start Date: 13/03/2016 End Date: 28/02/2019

2nd Cos
Start Date: 01/03/2019 End Date: 28/02/2022

2nd BRP
Start Date: 29/01/2019 End Date: 07/09/2020

Seems really strange to me. Waiting for seniors to comment so I'll take this up with HO.

Yes that seems like an error, you are eligible to be on Tier 2 until 13/03/2022.

Write to them, there's no harm in asking.

Thanks Akorotaeva

Good luck, keep us posted.

Should this be send on admin.review.enquiries@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk ?

OR

Should this be a 'reconsideration request' ? ( https://www.gov.uk/visa-and-immigration ... n-requests)

Considering the fact that I have not received a decision letter and only BRP so don't know which option to choose ?

Have you thought to ask your sponsor to contact HO to find out??

I didn’t think about it until you mentioned.

Would this be a better option if employer contacts HO?

I am reluctant myself writing to HO as i am not sure how long they’ll take to reply and I have an important trip planned in last week of March.

Question 1:
If lets say I don’t raise this with HO and happy to apply another extension for 6 months before ILR, would it impact any future application (next extension) or ILR?

Question 2:
If I send an email at admin.review.inquiries, would it be considered as an official admin review or just an inquiry? As I believe you have to pay for admin review and go through formal channel? I am unsure about admin review process.

TIA
