Guidance on Withdrawal of apllication

[Neenup]

Hi ,
I applied for tier-4 visa extension in may, 2014 (before 2 days of visa expiry)
got refused in june, 2014
lodged appeal 2 days later the refusal (June , 2014)
Refusal withdrawn by UKVI in October, 2014
Now, i am willing to withdraw my application because my tier-4 sponsor's licence have been revoked, can anyone please advice me on how will the withdrawal process work and what does it exactly mean s when its stated by UKVI " If your leave has expired while you were awaiting a decision, you will become an overstayer on the date the application is withdrawn and any subsequent in country application that you make will be out of time."
Does that mean i have been overstaying since may till now?

No.

" If your leave has expired while you were awaiting a decision, you will become an overstayer on the date the application is withdrawn and any subsequent in country application that you make will be out of time."

Just to add to what VInny has said, you still have the right to vary the application, if you are able to get a CASS from another institution, as your current application remains outstanding, and if refused again, you will get another right of appeal.

All these period are counted as lawful residence.

Indeed, it's best to vary an undecided application instead of withdrawing it for the purpose of making an out-of-time application.

But for clarity - you cannot vary a decided application.

[vinny]

If they withdrew the refusal, then doesn't that make the application undecided again?

[Obie]

That make more sense financially , time wise aswell.

OP will be best advised to get a proper CASS and vary before a decision is made.

Thank you so much for all the replies.
Really appreciate the advise provided by all of you.
my point of withdrawing the application is not to make a new application, instead i want to leave this country due to financial problems.
Once again thanks!!
