Dear respected friends
So yesterday Apr 19 at 10:59 PM I get my PPR email, you think I should be excited right? Well I am, but not very much. Here is why:
I am currently residing in the UK and was on a Tier 2 (work) visa. My visa expired on 15th December 2016 and since that time to 28th March 2017 I was waiting for the UK Home Office decision to renew my visa which was rejected because I overstayed for reasons beyond my control, which the Home Office didn't appreciate (they also retained my passport). On the 28th March I got my rejection letter asking me to leave the UK, which I was happy to do. The Home Office even booked my flight to my home country (which is great) and they will give me my passport in the airport. I am travelling from Heathrow on the 30th of April 2017.
Now that I got my unexpectedly quick PPR and a 30-day deadline (let's say 18th of May 2017) what should I do next? Shall I just inform CIC and/or London visa office that I've already booked my flight to my home country and attach the confirmed ticket so that they can re-evalute how I should send my passport? I mean even if I had my passport with me now and consideirng that I confirmed my flight 10 days is just not enough to stamp my passport with a PR visa and send it back before my flight!!
Or should I just go home and send it by the most expensive courier service to London and give my friend's address as the return address?
If you were me what would you do?! PLEASE PLEASE help with any useful thoughts and I promise a +1 for every single reply
