I guess different employers take a different stance on this as the rules are not well known or communicated. On the Home Office site, there is no mention of needing to show your employer that your application is being processed, it just states that you are entitled to continue living and working under the same conditions while your application is processed. It is almost deliberately vague.
When I told my manager that my visa was expiring, it was the first time it had even come to their attention. Since then, they have not followed up with me once about my application or status... As far as they know, I could be an illegal worker.
Hi NickTheKiwi,
I just wondered if you have received your acknowledgement letter. My timeline is sort of similar to you.
However my application is ILR(10 years).
I have received the acknowledgement by email last week through my visa agency and now waiting for the BPR letter.
Please update your timeline if it's been changed.
Many many thanks
