Visa Expired While Waiting fr the Extension

Post by poshah » Wed Sep 12, 2012 1:34 pm

Hi All, I have already applied for the tier1 visa extension via post (from UK). My current visa expires in Oct, and looking at the speed with which UKBA is processing the applications, I am wondering that by the time I get my extension, my current visa may have already expired.

Can you pl let me know if this will be an issue- ie while waiting for the results of the extension my visa expires...I believe I can still continue to stay and work in UK while I wait for the result of the extension?

Your status remain the same while your application is being considered for your extension.

You are allowed to live and work in UK until the outcome of your application.

All the best
