No it did not expire! Because you applied for the new visa before the expiry of the old one you have so-called Section 3C protection. That is, the old visa is "treated as continuing" while they deal with the application. You still have a valid visa .... you are not an overstayer!We married in May 2006, and I received FLR which expired May 31, 2008.
At the present time you have no option. No doubt things will work out OK. You really do need to be patient here.Patience has never been my strong point

And thanks for the internet link on patience, which I recommend to anyone who does not possess this quality in abundance!
DH also very sweetly organized another September holiday in the UK vs our planned one to Ireland if the ILR does not come through by then so it was not such a problem after all.
Best of luck to those also waiting for spouse visas and other applications.

IN AN form if i ticked that i passed the Pass life in the uk to get my settlement do i still need to give this Pass notification for life in the uk?
Thank You
Yes I have a suggestion! Be patient ..... even the staff working for UKBA are allowed annual holidays ... and it is not unusual for processing times to go up a bit at this time of the year.minerva wrote:Suggestions appreciated.
-: is not an issue ... you have a valid visa .... but I suspect that you will get your ILR well before November anyway.I've been asked to give a lecture to the Royal Society about my research work in November as they just gave me a grant for my next book
I doubt that! Why? I expect you to get your ILR well before November! Please post when you do.Thank you for your forbearance with me, and I'll try not to importune you any more until November or so.
Exactly! x = People take annual holidays ...... y = it takes longer for applications to be dealt with. As simple as that.I was trained to think things were fairly logical--if x happens, y will occur
