Urgent: Name wrong on Online Application

[RR555]

Dear all,

Can someone please tell me what can I do. I filled online application for premium service and paid and got the final reciept.
I just noticed that I interchanged Given name and Family name in wrong order!! What can i do now?? Please someone respond urgently.

Another question is that, my Visa expires on 28th Feb, But i applied as mentioned today (25th Feb), but did not find any appointment dates till 28th, but was able to find a appointment date only on March 2nd. Will it be fine??

Can some expert guide me urgently please.

For 2nd Question, try calling 0344 991 9222 on work permit. They are quite best in it or email them at london@workpermit.com. They reply quite fast.

For second Question what about calling home office help line and asking them what to do? I know its panicing but please dont worry as this happens some time.

I have also seen there are more people who just view the forum posts but do not reply.

Thank you very much Bholo.

i gave a call to HO helpline number for both my questions.
The lady other side said it would be fine with the name, but asked me to write a cover letter saying what happened by mistake and notify it to the personnel at the centre.

Regarding my appointment which is after my Visa expiry, she said ideally I must have booked an appointment in advance, but said it must be fine and should inform the situation at the premium centre. She also mentioned, I must not be working until the decision is made on my Tier 2 visa.

I hope all goes well!! Do you think it's all fine?

I would say write the cover letter as soon as possible and send it by premium post as they will take some time to decide and if your applicaiton is normal it takes about 8 weeks to get a decision.

Yes do not work and inform employer of your situation but if you have booked even a second beofre your leave expires and you have email confirmation i will not worry too m uch about it.

Hope all goes well with you. Good Luck

Thank you for being so helpful Bholo!! means a lot mate.

In the helpline, I was advised that I take the cover letter along with me on the day of my appointment. My timelines are as below.
28th Feb (SATURDAY) - My present Tier 4 visa expires. I don't work on this day as it's a Saturday and company is off.
01st March (SUNDAY) - Holiday
02 March (MONDAY) - I have the Visa appointment at 1 PM for their decision.

Question 1: You say I send the cover letter by post. Which address do I send and is it necessary as stated above.
Question 2: What is the e-mail confirmation? Is there an e-mail which I can send to UKBA regarding my case? If so, do you have the e-mail Id?
Question 3: Do yo know anything about reschedule option? It says that my present booking will then be cancelled if I opt for it. I just don't want to end up losing 02 March date as well.

Thank you very much for your wishes. I hope it goes through without any problem. Fingers crossed.
