Tier 2 visa end date

Post by magking » Fri Feb 11, 2011 2:59 pm

Hi,

I was issued a tier 2 visa last year outside the UK. The end date was given to be exactly the same as the end date of the certificate of sponsorship. So, it seems I have to leave the country on exactly the last day of work!!!

The UKBA website (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/worki ... l/#header3) seems to suggest that tier 2 applicants should get one additional month after the certificate expires. Does anyone know the procedure to get UKBA to rectify their mistake on my visa?

I appreciate your helpful suggestions.

Just an update in case someone is in the same situation. It took UKBA a long 8 weeks to amend the visa.
