Hi,
My current Tier 2 expires at the end of Jan 2019. I submitted my extension application (standard service) on Nov 7 and did the fingerprints/passport scan at the Sopra "premium lounge" in London on Dec 4. I am using the new service so I still have my passport and BRP.
I will be traveling to the US for work on Dec 24 but am afraid my extension will not have been approved by then. I will return to the UK before my current visa expires.
I have a few questions:
1. Is there some way to inform the home office about this work travel and ask that they process the application before I leave?
2. Is there any way to switch to the "priority service" which is supposed to take 10 days?
3. Will my application definitely be withdrawn as soon as I leave the UK and force me to resubmit the extension application when I return?
Calling the UK Visas and Immigration contact centre has been essentially useless in answering these questions.
If anyone has any advice on this situation that would be great.
Thanks so much for any information you have!
