Have you been given an option to Appeal? If not, then consult a solicitor before proceeding as your leave has now expired and any fresh applications have to be lodged before your current leave expires.chrisonrails wrote:Got my application form and passport returned to me on 19/09/09 and a letter stating that my application is invalid due to the old photo submitted. But my visa expiry date was 18/09/09. My question is can I submit a fresh application ? and am I consider to be overstayer ? Do I have to say 'Yes' and give the explanation on D15, D16 (Have you ever stay in UK beyond your current leave ends blah blah...) ? Urgent please as I am thinking of resumbit my application today. Thanks in advance for any help !

OK, in this case there is no option but to submit a fresh application. There are cases where people got approval on a fresh application+new photos but I think they always had leave to remain. In your case, it is unfortunate that the leave expired by just a day or two. Please search the forum to see if anyone has a case similar to yours.chrisonrails wrote:Nope, as it was an 'invalid' application due to old photo. I've seen people got same situation and resubmit their application on this forum, but just want to make sure if I am ok to do socrowbar6 wrote:Have you been given an option to Appeal?

Also, when you do send in the fresh application, please attach evidence of old application being rejected as 'invalid' as that might help your case.
crowbar6, I've sent a fresh application and as you suggested, attached the original reject letter along with the application form. Thanks for your help, and let's see how it goes...crowbar6 wrote:OK, in this case there is no option but to submit a fresh application.
