I have seen you replies in many posts and you are giving the clear instruction.Thanks for doing so.You seems to be the right person to help me regarding my query.Also,
It would be great if some one can share some advice regarding the following issue.
I applied for Tier 2 general extension on 03/09/2014.
Tier 2 general visa at that time was expired on 14/09/2014.
Received the refusal on 22/10/2014. Appeal lodged on 29/10/2014.
Appeal hearing date was given on 06/05/2015.
However,I made a fresh application using a new COS on 27/04/2015 using 10 days premium service.Applied online on that day.
Same day,27/04/2015,we wrote to Taylor house advising that we are withdrawing the appeal.
Outcome of the new Tier 2 general visa was on 07/05/2015.It was granted L.T.R.
Appeal rights exhausted on 05/05/2015.
I will be completing my 10 years continuous long term residency on the 1st week of September 2017. My question is,have I ever broken continuous residency at any time period I mentioned above?I am worried that I didn't go for appeal and withdrawn.So,since my visa was expired on 03/09/2014 until I received the new Tier 2 general visa on 07/05/2015,have I broken continuous residency?
I am looking forward your kind reply. Many thanks in advance.
