The woman advised me that as long as my RC application was made 'in time' before my Tier 1 visa expires, the conditions of my Tier 1 visa would be considered extended (which sounds to me like a Section 3(C) extention).
I have tried reading Section 3(C) but I don't know how to work out whether it applies to applications for leave to remain under European regulations.
Can anyone advise me on this? (Any comments on my previous questions would also be most welcome.) Thanks!
hiya, i wld avdice u to make yr application asap, when yr 2yrs cohabitation completes and while yr post study visa still valid... coz the home office sometimes play funny on application for RC. send as much as documents u both got together with the current address, letter of yr invitations to ceremeonies and individual accnt showin where money been transfered.. too much docs ok , than not enough. am non-eea too, and applied as unmarried partner to my finland partner and living together now for almost 3yrs now. we sent joint-tenancy agreement, joint-council-tax bill, joint-npower bill , joint-water bill, joint-tv-lisence bill, electoral letter with both names at address and personal bills on the address.. as adviced by a solicitor. too much is not bad lol. here is my case:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
applied march 30th as unmarried partner , got COA on 6th MAY. didnt call them at all regarging the progress. until my partner had to travel for 4-days to finland in oct. and requested her passport back, and ukba letter sayin not to send it until requested for again. but on her return, our solicitor ask us to send it to them, ignoring their letter lol. after reading everyone's story here and how it takes time to get the RC, i decieded to ring them few days ago and the nice guy behind the fone siad to me all docs recieved and i will hear from them within nxt 4weeks and if not i shld ring them back again just to double check. (so am hoping i will get my RC in the post by then.)
