I applied for a 12 month extension yesterday for a Non O based on marriage and now I have to go back in 30 days time to get the actual extension.
I also applied for a new UK passport 2 months ago on 10th March and then the VFS office closed. The UK gov also sent emails saying passport applications were delayed.
I applied for my 12 month visa extension using my old passport because I was concerned on 31 July I'd be told to leave the country immediately and I would not be able to get back in, so I wanted to ensure I had permission to stay.
Yesterday, I also received a message saying that the VFS will open 1st June.
My question is, if my new passport arrives back to VFS before I have to go back to immigration in 30 days time, will it make a problem for me to collect my new passport which will then cancel my old passport which I have used to apply for the extension?
TLDR : Answer Summary
User applied for a 12-month Non O visa extension based on marriage while waiting for a new passport. They are concerned whether receiving their new passport before the immigration appointment will cause issues, as they originally used their old passport for the extension application.
