Yes, you can withdraw your application and go home and apply for Tier 2. As long as you do not have more than 180 day break, your 10 year should not be broken. Obviously, there is no assurance of your Tier 2 being approved with 180 days or at all - that is the risk you take.aahish wrote: ↑Tue Mar 20, 2018 8:22 pmHi All,
I wanted to Switch my visa Category to tier 2 while my Tier 1 Extension in progress due to some emergency back home but my question is
1) Can i withdraw my Tier 1 extension application ( Before any decision made by home office ) and apply from my home country to a Tier 2 category does it have any affect on my continuous stay as i am i eligible for 10 years long residence in 2019. I can go for Tier 2 same day application but i could not risk that there are chances by home office to keep the application in pending again as it happened to my friend so, due to the emergency i cannot risk now. Please advise
My timeline: June 2017
Interview at my office: December 2017.
Thank you
I may have missed a very fine point.aahish wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 6:24 amThank you CR001
Good Morning
Is that mean my clock turns to zero if I withdraw now and apply from home country? Sorry if I’m confused what about the above message from marcnath which states I’m still eligible for 10 years what’s the difference any logic applies? Thank you
Not if it is very short - less than 30 days
Overstay of more than 30 days brings you under general grounds of refusal- so almost automatic refusal for all future visa applications for a year at least.aahish wrote: ↑Wed Mar 21, 2018 9:40 pmThanks Marc you mean the time of overstay within UKduring the process of withdrawal or you mean I should apply tier 2 with in 30 days after withdrawal sorry but I just want to make sure.
Also, could you please advise how many days does it take to get the passport back at airport after withdrawal.
Thank you
I am personally not aware of the process.aahish wrote: ↑Thu Apr 12, 2018 1:48 pmHello,
Good Afternoon all,
As per our recent conversation i spoke to a solicitor he is saying that the withdrawal form will be signed by the applicant at the time of departure at airport so, that means technically we are leaving on the day of withdrawal and it doesn't have any affect on continuous stay according to my solicitor version. Can any one ( Zimba, Marcnath, CR001 ) advise is that really true? my experience from this forum is very clear that its not correct to blindly trust solicitors. Please advise. Thank you
