Should not be a problem... HO requires the passport to be valid for atleast 6 month on the date of applicationuiqbal wrote:Hi,
My current status is like this:
HSMP Visa valid till: 8th Jan 2010
Passport valid till: 3 Apr 2010
I was thinking of applying for tier 1 extension by 15 september 2009?
Should i get a new passport or is it OK to apply on the already existing passport?
Regards,
uiqbal
The norm is 6 months from date of application and you should be ok. Based on the above info the cut-off will be 3 Oct 2009 for submission.uiqbal wrote:Hi,

Yes, this is fine.uiqbal wrote:Thanks tvn_ramesh. That was really quick
I would also like to know, as I would be applyin 2 and a half months earlier than the expiry date -- Is that OK?
I think you mean 3 years and not 3 months above! If so, the new visa will be valid for 3 years and it will not depend on the date of expiry of passport. However, whether it is 3 years from date of stamping of new visa or 3 years from date of expiry of current visa is upto the discretion of the case worker.Secondly if I get my FLR visa from 8th Jan, then it will be only valid for almost 3 months(not 6 months), does that make a difference?
See this for guidance on how dependants can apply. The forms and guidance notes are all available on the UKBA site.Also can you point me to documentation required for dependent application, i have wife and a baby?
