I went to True Digital Park yesterday and met with them, lovely people. I am finalising my pitchdeck and application, submitting this evening, and hopefully the auto reply will be enough for my embassy to issue me a letter for the 30 day extension. Processing for smart visa is 30 days so the letter extension is the last real shot.
just flicked through my passport again and my last stamp is my extension of stay until late October. Did the IO maybe do me a favour after causal banter with him?
definitely extension of stay. I had a 3 month non b previous. I went with all paperwork handed over by my previous employer. This was early June, few people there and a woman IO flicked through my passport, passed to another IO who handed it back saying “ok, you’re now on amnesty.” I was quite shocked but unsure of any changes in such crazy times.
