Jack Peterson Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) :unsure: Now! here is a peculiar one ( or is it) Because of the happenings last year with my health, I arrived on a 9a Visa and have extended as per rules. Yesterday, I went to BOI to make application for an extended, extension stay, my 16 months are up. Although, my UK pension is approved and being paid payed in parts , a little hit and miss at present, it will not be fully implemented and stable until January 2014. My letter of reason stated this for applying for my 13a and I competed the usual forms and paid the necessary amount. This included my expired ACR card. receipts in hand with my Passport but No, extension, at this time. I had a beer to calm down I was told to come back in 2 weeks for the decision OK, so just now, I only have an extension till October 27th As we can only apply for extensions up to 10 days prior to expiry, what happens if my application is turned down. The date of my return to the BOI will be November the 4th, My passport still says 27th October, So on my return to BOI on the 4th November, if the application is turned down, I will be an Over-stayer, Can This be right? Has anyone else suffered this ? What did you do jack P :tiphat: Edited October 22, 2013 by Jack Peterson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike S Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 That is very interesting indeed Jack .... I personally haven't heard of that before .... and of course they won't give you anything in writing saying that they told you to come back AFTER you visa expired ..... not sure just what the penalty is for over-staying for a few weeks but surely it won't be to much and you may have to take a short trip out of the country ..... JMHO ... :thumbsup: :cheersty: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Peterson Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 you may have to take a short trip out of the country ..... Now there lies another problem. How do we get an EEC with an Overstay and No ACR card ( They say 1 month for a renewal) again, lets take the money and maybe, this guy will go away. As it stands, I can go NO where, I can't leave and if I stay, I am a definite over stayer, :unsure: Up the Creek and absolutely No Paddle. :morning1: ha ha No! forget this, I will have a Beer or Two and go to plan 5a :tiphat: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Carl Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 My situation was a little more complicated, as I had changed my passport from UK to Canadian, when renewing my temp, 13A. They sat working out my situation for almost 7 months, which meant I was definitely over staying, and when they finally approved my new 13A, they also charged me 8 months of over stay! Ha, they got their money out of me, several times over. Papa Carl 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jollygoodfellow Posted October 27, 2013 Posted October 27, 2013 I think, relax and all will be fine. Overstay is only 500 a month, or was that 200 but either way not much. In your case you have done everything asked of you and told when to return to the BI so its not like they have no documentation of your situation. If it was me and my health was good I would think it would be easier to take a trip and start again but your personal situation may not allow that.

Call me bubba Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Can This be right? Has anyone else suffered this ? What did you do jack P :tiphat: any updates on this JACK??

Jack Peterson Posted January 30, 2014 Author Posted January 30, 2014 Has anyone else suffered this ? What did you do jack P A very good friend of mine also had this problem (I was not aware till recently) he went to Cebu for his ECC. The BOI told him that as he had his OR"S for his Extention and Expired card, it proved he had applied and paid. he could apply for his ECC and go to the US for XMAS, For Me just now, all is quiet on the Western front. I have extension till 27th Feb. With the new 36 month System here, it would seem my particular problem, should not arise again. When I went to do the December extension, I was told I would not have to submit a letter to Manila. The Girl told me that the rules were changing and the Local ACO could do the Extensions now after the 16 month. Heres hoping, that this will continue, "Moving Goalposts" comes to mind :rolleyes: Point to remember though, we should always keep safe BOI Paperwork and OR"S. In the end, prior to my December Extension, I was keeping copies of the OR's in my Passport, Just in case. :tiphat: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
