Hi Guys,
I am in a bit of trouble, our visas are expiring on 12 of August, my wife (Principal applicant) and my two kids are going to land in canada on 6 August but I am currently in a big shit, my passport is currrently with UK Home office because my visa was expiring in January and I applied for the renewal visa but my application is still under consideration.
Eventhought I applied for the withdrawl of my application on 7 of july and it normally takes 20 days to get your documents back, but the Case worker i.e. visa officer had a some confusion and wrote me a letter on saturday informing me that I will loose my fees if I withdraw my case and let I should let him know in writing if I still want to withdraw my case which is not a normall procedure, and I am scared now that I may not get my passport back before 12 of August, on the safe side I have changed my flight from 6 of August to 12 of August, but is there any way I can request the CHC London to extend my visa because the situation is beyond my controll and I can not afford to become illegal in UK by not applying for the visa back in January. eventhough UK Home office has published standard of deciding your application with in 6 months. I have the copies of all leteers I wrote to them and the mail reciepts.
Please can some one shade alight on this situation, it will be extremely difficult (I would say impossible) for my wife and kids to live there without me.
Thanks
