Ok. Thanks once again. I'll let you know how it goes.

Yes this makes sense. Thanks for sharing the link.

Makes me wonder should I apply in CGI Birmingham instead of HCI London. Just from their website they look a lot more organised and clear.

They filled up the form with a valid visa at the time of filling the form. They can carry copies of both your old and new visas with them when they go for their interview and can explain it to the VFS representative.

Thanks mate.
