I'm planning to go to India to have my baby due in early Oct- 2009. My HSMP Visa is expiring on 27th Nov 2009.
Beacuse I would be flying much earlier to that, I'm planning to apply for Tier1 extension/swtching in June/July-2009 - which is almost 4/5 months in advance. As I'm already employed in UK full time, the extented visa would give a visibility to my Employer that I 'm entitled to work in UK and I can claim on full 1 Year maternity break if I want to (even though i come back to Uk here after having baby and stay here at home on maternity leave)
My queries are :
1. Will HO issue me the visa starting after 27th Nov09, which means the new visa validity until 27th Nov 2012?
2. If not and if they issue from the date they approve my application I'll fall 5 months short to meet my ILR period, will I need to apply for another extenstion application in 2012 then?
I 'm not sure of extending Visa from India , as they might treat my application as new entry clearance.
Please help , looking forward to the valuable opion of the members of this forum.
thanks,
Neha

But why does it says in Guidance...
It is important that you make your application for further leave to remain before your current leave expires. However you should, wherever possible, make your application no more than five weeks in advance of the expiry of your current leave. If your HSMP leave has already expired, you should submit an application as soon as possible
