The applicants choice. The two applications are completely independent and separate to each other. Withdrawing before biometrics, results in a refund of fees though. After biometrics, fee is lost. Note that an RCoS does not provide legal status in the UK if the application is for the extension is withdrawn.1. As I’m currently waiting on my RCOS, is it advisable to progress with the ICT extension process (like use the app or schedule our biometric appointment for the visa extension now)?
Or should we wait and progress once I receive my RCOS?
Yes.2. If I get my RCOS assigned next week, can my family go ahead with the biometric process without processing mine?
Yes.3. Can I apply for my Tier 2 general visa as soon as I get my RCOS?
Home country.4. Can I apply from the UK or have to apply from my home country?
It is vague agree. What would your 'urgent' reasons be? The concession to apply within the UK was only till the end of August if your visa expired before 31/8, you haven't done this as you submitted another application you qualified for and is pending.5. A clause in the gov.uk site says that the application can be made from the UK if it’s urgent (like starting a new job). Is there a definition for ‘urgent’?
I am not starting a new job now, this is a continuous employment. So will I fit in this category to apply from within the UK?
Note an extension application has already been submitted, the date of application is the date you submit and pay online and not the biometric appointment date, so the visa conditions continue under Section 3C of the immigration rules. It would have been more proactive to apply for Tier 2 before the 31st August as the concession was for applicants applying in the UK who would normally have to apply abroad.6. A clause in the gov.uk site says that the application can be made from the UK if my visa expires before the 31st of August.
Even though we have applied for an extension, we haven’t given the biometrics (as there was no appointment available) yet.
Will I be considered in the category of ‘visa expired before 31st Aug’ as the decision hasn’t been made yet on our visa extension application?
