I suggest you make a postal application with the FLR(IED) with all the documents except the WP and then wait for the WP so that you will not become an overstayer.

documents means here are letter from my employer and my passport, etc..???

I disagree you wont get FLR without WP letter since FLR would be based on the outcome of WP application.

He didn't say that you would. But you can apply for FLR before the wp is approved, and then ask them to hold off on a decision until the decision is made on the WP. We do this all the time.

CAN ANY ONE EXPLAIN VICTORIA'S STATEMENT HERE. I THINK THIS COULD BE USEFUL FOR ME BUT I KNOW KNOW HOW THIS WILL BE IMPLEMENTED

About what decision they will hold off here. (I guess regarding FLR).

What if my FLR is refused ..?

The decision they will hold off is to decide whether to give you the extension or not.

If all documents are correct, your FLR will be refused only if your WP is refused as well. In such a case you will cancel the application and return back home or find some other way to stay over.

You can include a covering letter that explains that your employer has applied for a work permit for you (include details such as date application sent and any ref your employer may have) and ask them to wait till the outcome of the work permit application is known. Also say that if the wp application is positive, you will send them the wp as soon as you receive it.

Sending the app for FLR(IED) will ensure that your stay is legal while awaiting the decision on the wp.

Hi
If any one opted to leave the country(because visa expiring) while his/her WP is under processing should inform HO before he leave the country.
couple of questions in this regards

1.Its client responsibility or employers. I think its employers responsibility to inform the HO that the applicant is leaving the country

2. Does employer need to lodge a fresh WP application as the circumstances has been changed or existing Application would be fine .

thanks
