Thanks Manka10

Do we have a link from uk visa website explaining this bit?
I trust you :) I just want to read if there are any constraints?

you probably dont want to cut it that close mate but UKBA website says date of posting application by Royal Mail is the date of application for visa & if by courier then the date when UKBA receives application is the date of application & as long as your application reaches UKBA if your LTR has still not expired, you are good.

I myself posted initial application a day before expiry & 3 days before expiry for extension.

Its here http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... to-apply/# click on date of application below

I am hoping to apply on 9th/10th of March. I'm just guessing that Saturday should not matter in case of postal submission as 10th of march is saturday.
