Tier 5 (YMS) issued for only 21 months?

Post by Scoobing » Wed Jan 28, 2015 2:00 am

Hi,

I applied for a Tier 5 YMS from New Zealand. I received the endorsement in my passport today. I am not travelling until April so the valid from date of 05/04/15 is correct. However the valid until date is 23/01/17.

This is obviously not correct as it's 21 months instead of 24 months.

I have read everything online about correcting an endorsement while in country by sending it to the RCU at the Home Office etc. But I want to try and get it fixed now. I thought about calling UKVI but that seems to be more about applications in progress.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can get this fixed?

Cheers

Contact the issuing office for NZ (Manila??) and get them to correct it before you come to the UK.
Don't leave it till you arrive in the UK it can take 12 weeks to get it resolved in the Uk
