[Gouthami]

my results are going to be released in February

Do you know when in February? An application may be possible within 14 days after expiry of leave, relying on 39E. Provide a good reason for the late application.


Suitability requirements for a Graduate

GR 2.1. The applicant must not fall for refusal under Part 9: grounds for refusal.

GR 2.2. The applicant must not be:

• (a) in the UK in breach of immigration laws, except that where paragraph 39E applies, that period of overstaying will be disregarded; or
• (b) on immigration bail.

Alternately, apply prior to expiry of leave and reapply after a refusal?

Can I reapply if once it refused ? Is it charged if I reapply again ? Please let me know these queries . actually I don’t know when they are going to release my results my course leader told me it is going to be release by the end of February .

Unless you are eligible to ask for an exceptional assurance, you need to look at other work visa options that you can apply for from your home country, like a Skilled worker visa.

Asking for an exceptional assurance requires proof that you cannot leave the UK due to the pandemic. It is not just a workaround for someone who needs more time in the UK for other reasons.
