Hi All,
Hope you are well and safe. I've landed myself in bit of a pickle and can use some advice.
The facts:
1. My current PBS dependent (of Skilled worker) visa expires on 05/05/2021.
2. I have an application in progress for extension of said visa made within UK.
3. The appointment for biometrics submission in UK is booked on 04/05/2021.
I am currently in India, I have had to travel here as mom was hospitalized and ended up getting COVID myself (which is why I had to reschedule the appointment for biometrics to be so last minute).
I fly back to the UK on the 25th, but with India being added on the red List, I have to qurantine in a hotel and cannot make it to a biometrics appointment before 08/05/2021 (which is after the Expiry of my current Visa).
My questions:
1. Is it ok for me to rechedule the biometrics appointment after the visa expiry ?
2. Would I be stopped at immigration as my Visa is due to expire ?
Also, In case case I cannot enter UK or my application is no longer valid because I can't make the biometrics in time -
3. what are my options for Applying for an PBS visa extension from India (Should mention that the partner was previously on a Tier 2 and is now on a ILR so I will be applying as a dependent of an ILR).
Any guidance will be much appreciated. Stay safe all.
Thanks.
