Tier 2 sent wrong application form. advice needed

Post by summerlady » Tue Feb 21, 2012 7:28 pm

Hi all, I mistakenly sent in the old tier 2 application form without finding out that there is a new form that started from 14th february.
I sent in my application on the 15th of february on the old form.

Does anyone know if it will be returned or can still be considered since its a days difference.
I feel so bad making such a stupid mistake.
Thanks for reading.

The old form can still be used for 21 days after the new form is published.

Thank you so much guru. Please can you tell me if this info is on ukba website or where you got it.
I feel much better now, i was so worried that the application will be returned.

Hi

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... lications/

See tranisitional arrangements on left and then applications made within 21 days of the specification of new form on the right side of the page.
I am having the same issue, application posted on 16th feb 2012. Even though i checked for the latest form on the 16th, but my pc at office, don't know how and why showed me the old version of the form oct 11. I hope will not cause any problem.

Fingers crossed for both of us.
