Panic ye not! As long as the application for the new visa is made prior to the expiry of the old visa, it is not true to say that the old visa will have expired. The person has so-called Section 3C protection, that is, the old visa is "treated as continuing" until the application is dealt with, and should it be rejected for some reason, until the time for appealing against that rejection has expired.A lot of people are having to wait for 2-3 months for a response for the ILR, the visa has expired at this stage, wouldnt that be classified as over staying?
If it's a form letter, then it may refer to delays due to further enquires on other cases, not related to yours.minerva wrote:At the end of August, I filed a complaint with the Home Office using the official form as I still haven't received any decision about my spousal ILR (applied for in May), and at the end of September, I received a form letter stating they couldn't make their target dates due to "further enquiries being carried out." What does this mean? My husband and I then went to see our MP, and he said he would write a letter on our behalf, but he admitted the letter from the Home Office was very cryptic
Hiya,John wrote:princess22, thanks for posting those dates. OK, he can apply for his ILR no earlier than 28 days before the 2nd anniversary of him first entering the UK using that visa = 10.04.10 .... and no later than the date of expiry of the current visa = 23.04.10.
Of course he will need to pass the Life in the UK Citizenship test before he can apply for ILR.
Nah just looking at worse case senario, we are planning on posting them on 8th of April.John wrote:OK, posting on the 23rd would be OK, but any reason why you are thinking of leaving it that late?
