No you cannot apply from within UK. You must be on one of the visa categories mentioned in this link to apply from within UK.

Hello,

I have sent my Tier 1 General application on 01/08/09, after a month I have received a call from visa officer for requesting 2recent photograph on 01/09/09, sounds like positive because he told me that in my older visas I have used same photos. However after sending photographs, I haven’t received any reply from HO till the date. I called to public enquiry office and they advised me to write a litter to visa officer, which I did & again attached photographs & sent to HO on 14/09/09.

As per new rules HO customer call centre can not tell us anything before 14 weeks, I don’t know what I can do in this situation as visa officer has considered my application but no reply from HO now.


Confirmation 03/08/09
Fee deducted 03/08/09
Acknowledgement received 05/08/09
Call on Mob from Visa Officer 01/09/09
Photo sent by spcl delivery: 02/09/09 (no reply till 2 weeks)
Again Write a letter & attached 2 photograph & sent by spcl delivery 14/09/09
Waiting for reply…………..

Urana: if they mentioned for ur application the rule is that they can not tell status till 14weeks than you have to wait till that time.. dont worry abt the documents..

You sent them arnd 3rd aug and they came back asking for ur photos means they have ur docs with them and pls keep the records of the RM SD of photos sent as a proof for worst case scenario to defend urselves.. but i think everything will be ok for you..

as chetan says.. dont loose ur sleep over this.. u did u job n now its their job n give them their 14weeks to come back with status.. dont worry why other applicants results come back in 4-5-8weeks each application. caseworker, situaations are different.. goodluck
