Hello, Any help will be appreciated as I am in a somewhat of a unique position. I am on a Spouse visa that expired in July and I work for an NHS trust. In May, I got an email from my employer asking me to submit my BRP for the extension scheme approved by the government. I did that in May. I didn't hear back well into July. I wasn't concerned as I believed I already have an application with the home office. A couple of weeks ago, I got offered a new role in another NHS trust who needed to verify my right to work. After chasing the home office via email, I was told me employer didn't include my name in the spreadsheet that was sent and my BRP wasn't sent either. After a lot of conversations, my employer told me this is because, they didn't know/think if I was eligible for the extension because it wasn't a Tier 2 visa. No one told me this. Infact, I have a letter saying my BRP was sent off as of last week. Now my BRP has expired and to make matters worse, because of the COVID situation, my passport has expired too. I have an application for my passport but don't know when my biometrics will be collected, not to talk of getting a new one. So my questions are thus
1. As someone on a Spouse visa, am I eligible for the extension?
2. If no, what are the ramihfications of applying on an expired leave to remain and a passport?
3. Is it possible to apply with an expired passport if somehow, I am able to apply?
4. What other options do I have if the trust turns around and terminate my contract because my leave to remain has expired and I don't have any application with the home office?
I would very much appreciate any help I can get. I am really stressed about all this.
