Received my passports with visas valid until 2011
Here are my timelines:
11 Jan - Applied for extension (1+3+3 category)
21 Jan - Acknowledgement letter received.
24 Jan - Received a letter stating that claimed points were not awarded for earnings.
24 Jan - Called workpermits, spoke to caseworker and she said bank statements are required covering the whole period.
24 Jan - Sent in bank statements
29 Jan - Received passports with further extension.
I would also like to add that I applied 4 months early for this extension and gave a simple reason that I have plans to travel during the easter holidays.
Excellent service level WPUK.
Thanks to this forum for all the help.
