1) Just wondering if i will get the acknowledgement letter before my current leave expires to show it to employer and for renewing my Airport Airside Pass.

2)Can my wife (dependent )will be able to apply for the jobs on the basis of the acknowlegement letter & do employer give any new jobs on the basis of the letter.

Any idea ?

1. No one can tell you for sure if you will get it before the 16th. It all depends on how quickly the Home Office processes applications at your time of submission. Feel free to look at some of the sticky timeline threads to get an idea of estimated timescales.

2. I strongly doubt it. If your wife already has a job, that is one thing, but I don't think an employer will take the risk of hiring someone with the letter alone regardless of section 3c. I stand to be corrected on this.

Kind Regards

1. I strongly doubt due to bank holidays and application flood due to various reasons
2 No, acknowledgement letter does not guarantee a visa
