Hi There,
Just a quick question - my current work visa is due to expire soon. I currently have an SMC Residence application pending, however the Case Officer contacted me yesterday asking me for some further information. My concern is that my residence application is not likely to be processed before my current Visa expires.
If I apply for an Essential Skills online, is it likely to be approved to allow me to continue to work even if a case officer is carrying out verification work on my application? or is there a chance I could pay for an Essential Skills and that be rejected if my residence application is nearing completion?
Thanks in Advance.
