I did a premium services extension in Liverpool and got my bio metrics in 2 days. One of my work colleague applied extension through the normal way and got her bio metrics after 4 weeks from the date of enrollment.

Hi,

I want to know if I can apply extension 3 months before the existing Tier 2 visa due expires? would that be too early?

In the extension of Tier 2 application form, it says the application is free, am I right?

many thanks
