Two things - speak to your employer and explain the situation - if they want you they'll probably wait a bit longer. And speak to your immigration case officer for advice about a temp visa. I don't think they do such a thing - but it's worth asking...

Hi,

when were you referred. We were told it would only take an extra week to get the results if the BMI target was not met...would that not be in time?
