Hi everyone! I'm finishing my master's degree and planning to apply for the HPI visa using my bachelor's degree as the qualifying qualification.

My plan is to submit the application while I'm still abroad and then move to the UK after I graduate. I have a trip planned around June 10th for tourism. Would entering the UK as a visitor while my application is in progress cause any complications?

I could apply now, but I'm worried the application won't be approved in time before my June trip.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? Would love to hear your experience :)
