FLR and age points, early extension (3 months)

[T1_Mainframe]

Hi all,

My current Tier1 (G) will expire in first week of October 2010 and birth month is July (second week). I will fall short by 5 points if I have to apply extension after the birthday. UKBA website encourages applicants to apply for FLR/extension within 28 days from visa expiry.

Would it be safe to apply in first week of July, 3 months earlier than the expiry? Would I have to provide any reason for early extension?

Thanks for reading and replying,

It has been observed that there are many applicants who applied 3-4months earlier then their expiry period.. so it is fine to apply in July and u dont need to give any reasoning..

Yes, HO recommends to apply for extension 28days before expiry

I have successfully applied for extension to Tier1 on 20th Oct,2009 for the visa expiring on 03/03/2010.

You should be fine with the application.

You will be alright.. just apply and you will get the visa provided you score required points.

I do qualify provided I apply 3 months early to gain 5 points for age.
