My Tier 1 General visa for 2 years is expiring on 25 June 2013. To avoid the increasing fee, I want to apply for extension before 6 April 2013.
In-case if this extension is granted before my expiry date say 2 months before i.e. on 25 April 2013, the expiry date of this extended visa will be 25 April 2016.
Now, when I apply for ILR on 1 April 2016. My Tier 1 General visa will be shortfall by more than 2 months to be 5 years.
1. Is this 2 months shortfall be problem for later?
2. Do the HO accepts application 3 months before the previous visa expiry
date?
3. Do I need to have 2nd time extension to cover up this shortfall?
4. Can anyone clarifies me if I can apply for extension before 6 April with safe side in future?
