I'm going to start a new job in October. The Tier 2 visa I'm currently on is going to expire in mid October. I submitted the application to extend it back at the beginning of July, then like many others, made the mistake of opting in the IDV app. Haven't heard anything back after submitting documents through the app on 30 Aug.
Until today I wasn't really worried, since what I understood from the guideline is that I can start my new job before receiving a decision, provided that my application was submitted in time. However HR just told me today that without the decision email they can't offer me a contract beyond mid Oct. I've asked for an escalation but it can take another 10 working days, by which time my current visa will have expired.
Is anyone in a similar situation? Did I or our HR misunderstand anything?
