HSMP Extension from outside the UK

goldfish · Post by **goldfish** » Sat Apr 18, 2009 6:36 am

I have an HSMP visa and lived in the UK for several years. I'm now living outside.

When my visa comes up to expiry, can I apply for an extension from outside the UK?

I am pre-Nov 2006 if that is relevant.

Thanks.

I think for extension atleast some ratio should be UK earning .
I dont think you can make ur 100 % earnings outside and claim extension ....

Guidance states:

"We will not make any uplift calculations on overseas earnings for extension applications. The applicant must clearly show on the application form which of the earnings were made in the United Kingdom and which were earned overseas. We will add the pounds sterling value of these overseas earnings to any United Kingdom earnings. We will then consider the total figure against the points-scoring table above."

Just curious to know about this particular situation:

If the HSMP extension is refused and the current leave to remain is expired. Didnt win the review as well. Then obviously one needs to apply from the home country, then is the application considered as the normal HSMP extension under TIER 1 or is it considered as new application.

Just didnt read about it anywhere and curious to know what happens in this situation.

Extension applications are made to extend your leave to remain in UK, so must be applied for from within UK.

Unless, of course, you are seeking to return to UK in accordance with the procedure laid down by UKBA following the HSMP JR judgment of 2008.
