1. Can I apply Tier2 extension application within 28 days after expiry of my visa if I get a new offer and my prospective company assign a uCoS to me? And would it be considered a 'normal application'?
If you have a valid u.COS and if you apply during 28 days. It will be considered as a normal application but u will be considered as an overstayer after the expiry of the visa.
HO says: "As long as the application is submitted within 28 days of his visa expiry it could be considered as an in-time application. The submission of an application within the 28 day period of overstaying does not mean the migrant's previous leave is either re-instated or extended. Therefore an applicant without valid leave at the point they submit their application continues to be an overstayer from the point their leave expired and throughout the period their application is pending. As the applicant has no leave during the period their application is pending they have no permission to work in the UK."
I strongly recommend you to apply before ur visa expires. After the expiry of visa your status will become overstayer and will break continued stay period in the UK which will affect the ILR applications.
Also If you are looking for a new sponsor within that 28 day period, no sponsor will be willing to take in an overstayer without a valid expiry leave.
2. If I fail in getting a new offer and come back to my country in the middle of July, I would have a chance to get a stamp of 'overstaying' at the airport? If so, it would affect my future application to any category of UK visa or entry clearance to UK?
I don't think you will be stamped as an overstayer on ur passport. But their system will record and display the period you overstayed.
