Thanks Chetan,

One final question,just exploring the possibilities, is it possible to send the application through post from India.I can arrange a friend's UK address where the Home office can send the application back.

Thanks Chetan for this suggestion,infact I reviewed this option this morning itself and went thru lot of posts where people have applied for extension well in advance. However I cannot pursue this option coz I only have 1 month in hand so I can't apply by post and I can only get an appointment early ...
