As my 50K investment funds can only be available in the U.K on 12nd of July, but my PSW visa expired on 8th of July so if I apply 1 week later with the completed documents I will be qualified as an overstayer thus lost the rights to appeal. So I followed the advice on this post, and submitted all documents available before my PSW visa expired:
Psw expires today i am applying tomorrow

The advice was as followed:

If your visa is expiring on, for example, 8th of FEB 2013, You must file your application today, even with incomplete documents. Just write a letter stating a genuine reason that why your documents are missing and when will you provide them with those missing letters. Just make sure your Application is completely filled, plus visa fees is successfully taken by them.
Once you get a Case Reference number, you then send your remaining documents to UKBA caseworker with your case reference number..
This will always keep you safe and you will not loose your appeal rights.

1) Application filing via Post
2) Fees deducted
3) Acknowledgement letter about documents received
4) Biometric Letter (15 days deadline)
Now, your caseworker will only start going through your file only if they have received your biomentric data. In other words, they will make decision only after biometric procedure is completed. Now, from the date of filing to the date of Biometric data, there are generally gaps of weeks. Therefore, You can submit your remaining or missing supporting documents during this gap before you finish biometric enrollment procedure. (Kindly make a Next Day trackable delivery so that you know that they have received your documents.)
This give you a general idea of how much ample amount of time you generally have.
Hope this help many to understand!
I also read in application form(latest from 01/07/2013) that a valid application is considered as followed:
1. correct application form must be submitted
2. correct application fee must be paid
3. current passport, BRP must be provided
4. mandatory sections in application form must be completed
5. 2 identical passport-sized photographs must be supplied.
Now I submitted all above documents among others before my PSW visa expired, and with a Cover letter explained my reasons of outstanding documents.
My question is that if i'm going to send them the outstanding documents(Bank statements), what's the best time/ways to do so. Do I need to file a "uk visa change of circumstances" form or how should I submit any new documents.
I have also heard that the Home Office usually can't accept any additional documents. In this case what's my option? Can I submit another application with competed documents next week when I'm still within 28 days "grace period", before the previous one's decision has been made?
Please advice!
