Tier 1 General Third Extension under HSMP JUDICIAL REVIEW

[e4mula]

I am due for Tier 1 General Third Extension under HSMP JUDICIAL REVIEW as my current visa expires 10 June 2013 and wish to submit my application by next week. What is preferable if I should apply by post or personally at PEO? How long is it going to take by post or at PEO? I welcome your valuable suggestions.

PEO
- Faster: usually one day, but may take longer - see other posts on the forum by people who have had their applications held for longer
- More expensive: fees are in the guidance notes

Post
- Takes longer (much longer!): see other posts on the forum
- Less expensive: fees are in the guidance notes

Considerations specific to HSMP JR
- Check that you can do a PEO appointment for HSMP JR extensions. When I applied for my most recent extension (2 years ago) PEO wasn't available for HSMP JR, but maybe this has changed.
- Caseworkers probably haven't seen many HSMP JR applications for a while so may be less familiar with what is required and may consider it "complex" (i.e. can't do on same day) or have to refer it to a senior caseworker. I don't have any specific info either way, so maybe others who have been to PEO for HSMP JR can post?
