aminsagar123 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Hi all. I have partner visa application in process and asked CO for extension 1 week before the submission deadline and was given 28 days extension on the same day. My question is does the 28 days start from the day i was given the extension or add on after the original deadline. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dxboz Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 I would say the 28 days would start from when you were given the extension - not from the original deadline but check with your CO to be on the safe side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinkla Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 You have presumably asked for an extension because you are waiting on something specific (e.g. a police clearance certificate). If you tell your CO the reason for needing more time, you will be given as much time as you need. The reason they set deadlines is so they don't have cases sitting open for ever waiting on documentation that is never going to come. It is also good for prompting applicants to get on and get the extra material together rather than just putting it off for another day. So, if you are getting towards 28 days after you last asked, just go back to the CO and ask for more time - it's no big deal. The COs actually want to grant you a visa and help you begin your new life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
