Thanks for your reply. I have clearly mentioned in my covering letter and also mentioned when it is expiring and also clear reason. But do not know why such over look.
Was there any valid reason , for why you were applied so early and any supporting evidence ?

I sent off my application on 24th of March and they received it the very next day. They haven't processed the payment on my application yet and I am paying by credit card. I'm assuming that they have received many applications this week due to the rule changes coming up and this has slowed the process down even further.

I will keep you posted and let me know when your payment goes through. I'm in the same boat as you in that if the application is rejected I can't reapply as I don't have a masters. Hopefully we'll both be fine.

The Current proessing time on UKBA website is updated:
During the week commencing 30 March 2009, we expect to be considering applications that were received on or before 24 February 2009. Please note that this timescale is a guideline only, and some cases may take longer to consider.
This time, it is a jump of 12 days inplace of usual 7 days for the last 2 weeks.
Lets hope they keep the same pace in future.

I had some Genuine reason which i mentioned to them and I received email confirmation from HO saying you can apply early and you will be granted tier1 from the date of expiry of present visa. Infact, I have seen many people getting visa from the date of expiring of their current leave whether that is 2 months or 3 months even i seen one fellow on this forum who visa was getting expired in oct 2009 and he filled his application in January 2009, 9 month ahead and he received his new visa from oct,2009. I looks like someone over looked in my case.

guess u didnt mention clearly that you will fall short and kindly provide 3.5 mths extra ?

dont expect HO to calculate and help u get ur residency, u need to help urself aka DIY.

nothing can be done now, had u mentioned it, HO would have given u, now wait till end of expiry and apply again for a visa

Thanks for your reply. I have clearly mentioned in my covering letter and also mentioned when it is expiring and also clear reason. But do not know why such over look.
