Thanks Casa - date of entry as stamped in passport was 14th September 2017.
Thanks - are you suggesting no shortfall regardless?
https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visaWhen you can apply to extend or switch
You can extend or switch at any time before your current permission to stay in the UK expires.
You must live in the UK for a certain amount of time before you’re eligible for settlement (‘indefinite leave to remain’) - check how much time you need before you extend your visa.
If you’re extending to stay with the same family member, you’ll only get up to 28 days left on your current stay added to your new visa
Thank you - my question then is, is this a moot point given date of entry as stamped in passport was 14th September 2017 and current date is 13th April 2020, that would already make it 30 months, 30 days excluding the end date, with tomorrow being 31 months already.
Brilliant - many thanks this has been very helpful all
Great for 1. Strange that it is requested at this time given it is not possible for anyone to bring forward a date of p60 issue.
It won't simply be cancelled. No one will be penalised due to the delays.Fahd89 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:19 amWe are at a loss re: next steps as we do not want to get to a point where the application submitted is just cancelled because we haven't got an appointment (and suddenly her visa will not be valid)
Is there any specific legal immigration advice that we should follow in this scenario?
Many thanks
My concern in this regard is that it's already been almost 3 month since I submitted an application.CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:34 amIt won't simply be cancelled.

Wait for the reply from them as no one hear can speak categorically on this.Fahd89 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:40 amMy concern in this regard is that it's already been almost 3 month since I submitted an application.CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:34 amIt won't simply be cancelled.

Is there any time limit between an application being submitted and having a biometrics appointment? we've already submitted scanned copies of all evidence online but we are supposed to go in for finger prints/ photo and handing in some original documents (i.e. passport) The pandemic has changed / affected lots of things. The time limit that used to be does not come into play under current situation and as moderator said you won't be penalized.
I have already used the enquiry form on the site to question why I can't get an appointment having made an application in April, but they're stating they're opening bookings to May applicants however it just sent through an automated response to say it will take 5-10 days for Sopra Steria to respond.
OK - and what is the deadline under "normal" circumstances in relation to submitting the application online and having a biometric appointmentAmazonianX wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 3:09 pmWait for the reply from them as no one hear can speak categorically on this.Fahd89 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:40 amMy concern in this regard is that it's already been almost 3 month since I submitted an application.CR001 wrote: ↑Wed Jul 08, 2020 11:34 amIt won't simply be cancelled.
