Mark, your wife can apply for an extension as long as it hasn't reached the expiration date of the current visa. The earliest she can apply is 28 days before her 30th month here in the UK. From that date till before the actual expiration date, your wife can apply for the extension visa.Originally Posted by marksroomspain
Also confused on this one Rayna, I was led to believe you have to apply no earlier then 28 days before the actual 30 months in the UK.
So my wife Jamie arrived in the UK 15/12/2012 so her visa extension can be done no earlier than 18/05/2015 ie: her 30 months anniversary would be on 15/06/2015.
Also her visa shown expiry as 03/09/2015 so can it be done as late as this or is the above the correct way......
But of course, it's wiser to apply as early as you can to avoid further hassles.
A lot is actually confused about this 28 days before thing. It doesn't mean that it's the only time they can apply for a visa. It's just getting the date when they can actually start applying. And as long as the current visa hasn't reached its expiry date yet, it's fine to apply and used those valid dates in case there are more docs needed to get.
