The current visa only gets cancelled if you get another visa from UK.seasky wrote:Why/how does that cancel visa/application??
And if it does why not go up to officer and say "hello here is mu other passport my main passport is out for extension of visa here is photo of it"
If he enters the country as a visitor, he is entering on another visa type, even it is an implied visitor visa. And that will cancel any previous visa, no matter what passport he is using. The visa does not belong to the passport, it belongs to the immigrant, irrespective of what passport(s) they might nold.SureShot wrote:The current visa only gets cancelled if you get another visa from UK.seasky wrote:Why/how does that cancel visa/application??

However the issue is that while entring the UK you will have to tell the UKBA that you are here for tourism/visit (to use visa free access) and you can not work cuz your entry would be on a different passport and for a different purpose (even though you have work auth on your other passport)
Post your entry on the US passport if you resume work you will be in violation of the visa waiver rules.
you could basically enter the uk on your US passport, not work untill you collect your main passport then go to france and enter back on your main passport with work authorisation. Obviously this is the correct way but tedious one.
The US passport allows one to enter the UK VISA FREE for tourism purpose. This means that the entry on US passport will be without a visa hence the previous visa will stand.ouflak1 wrote:If he enters the country as a visitor, he is entering on another visa type, even it is an implied visitor visa.

This is true but irrelevent. Since on US passport you can enter VISA FREE?ouflak1 wrote:SureShot wrote: As you do not require a visa on a US passport, you wont be issued a new visa and hence your old visa does not get cancelled.
A visa does not belong to a passport. It belongs to the immigrant.

What you are suggesting is nothing short of an attempt at fraud. An attempt that will almost certainly fail.
Withdrawn applications wrote:You must not treat an application as withdrawn if the person:
travels outside the CTA on another passport, an emergency travel document or illegally, unless they also request the return of their passport for travel outside the CTA, or
requests the return of their passport for purposes other than travel (or for travel within the CTA). For example to open a bank account, take the Life in The UK Test or apply for an identity document not related to travelling outside the CTA.
If a person, with an outstanding application, travels outside the UK the application does not give them any right to re-renter the UK to receive a decision on their application. They are liable to be refused entry, unless:
they are allowed to re-renter the UK with a different type of leave, or
their existing leave has not yet expired and is not cancelled at the border.
If the person is covered by section 3C leave because they made an in-time application and their leave expired before they left the UK, their section 3C leave expires when they leave the UK.
If a person is given leave to enter the UK in a different immigration category, for example as a visitor, this is their current immigration status and you must take this into account when you consider whether they meet the requirements of the rules under which they originally applied. This may result in their application being refused, for example on switching grounds.
This is not true and a dangerous misunderstanding. There are several posts on this forum alone of people who have lost their 'current' visa status as they were simply allowed in as visitors 'visa free' as you put it, with just a visitor stamp. You don't get a specific piece of paper with a visa, but all Americans that are allowed in without having to apply for a visa are nonetheless on an implied tourist visa with the relevant rules and restrictions applicable. If you have another visa that is not expired, you are probably ok, but it can be cancelled by a Border Patrol agent. Not only that, but if you have an application for another type of leave in process, it might be withdrawn (considered abandoned) if you leave the country before it is decided and your original visa expires.SureShot wrote: The US passport allows one to enter the UK VISA FREE for tourism purpose.

If you tell the Border Patrol that you are currently on a Tier 1 visa that you can't show them, they are bound to ask why you can't show them that visa. Unless you lie, you will have to tell them that you have an application in process. If your original visa has not expired and you are lucky, they will just leave it at that after a check to be sure that your original visa has indeed not expired. Otherwise, lying to Border Control about your current circumstances and attempting to enter the country via means other than that which you were specifically granted? There's a word for that. Probably several words.SureShot wrote:There is no fraud involved in it .and you are totally misguiding other users by providing wrong information.
