Hi there,
I have made a biggest mistake.I posted my application for IGS 12 days back but havnt heard anything from home office yet.So i decided to call them and ask about my application and they said its not showing on their system. whilst on the royal mail's website it says that my application has been delivered.
I just found out that the application form is still left at my home and i posted my passport,degree and other documents to the home office.In simple words I have posted just my documents but not the application form 10 days back. My current student visa has expired by now. I dont know wht to do:( person on the general enquiry line said I will have to go back to Pakistan and go through entry clearance to come back to uk. All I can do at the moment is to wait to hear from home office and then go back to paksitan.Please give me your valueable advice.Is there any possiblity that I dont have to go back for the entry clearance??or what should i do to avoid all this hasstle.
Thanx.

I don't think you have any option, it was your mistake and the HO is never very sympathetic....

Oops. very bad, you could try to post it now and see if the people put it together with your other documents and count it from the day you posted the first mailing but thats a long shot.

The rule is tha the application isnt considered received unles payment has occurred so like I said it is unlikely they will backdate it for when you sent the supporting documentation.
good luck
