Hi Everyone
I currently have a TIER1 VISA that expires on March 22 , 2013.
At the moment I do not live in the UK but I am planning to go there next month.
My question is after my TIER 1 VISA expires on 22 March 2013, will be I able to get a TIER 1 extension ?
(or will I have to switch to some other category like TIER2 ?)
I looked up the UKBA website and it says the following-
<<
To be able to apply, you must meet all the requirements of the Immigration Rules.
Are you in an eligible immigration category?
You can apply to extend your stay in the UK under Tier 1 (General) if you are already in the UK with permission to stay (known as 'leave to remain') in one of the following immigration categories:
highly skilled migrant
writer, composer or artist
self-employed lawyer
Tier 1 (General)
Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP), if you are eligible to switch into Tier 1 (General).
If you are not in one of the categories above, you cannot apply to Tier 1 (General).
>>
I am not sure what exactly the stuff in bold is supposed to mean ?
Lets say I go to UK next month in Feb 2012. A year later in Feb 2013, I will be in TIER1 (General) immigration category. So will I be able to extend my TIER1 for another 3 years (or 2 years whatever it may be) ?
Thanks very much...
