Thanks for the replies, some of which have been useful.

You hit the nail on the head. My main concern is that I feel that my employer will not honor their side of the bargain whether I stay or not. I can give 42days notice to leave anyway if I wanted to do it properly but if I am too do that I may as well finish the contract. I just feel that either way my employer pretty much holds all the aces and I may as well just jump ship. No point flogging a dead horse and all that....

It appears from what one poster said that I would still be in the system irrespective of my new passport. I had heard this was the case but so far until now no concrete evidence.

I think in my case all these documents expire a the beginning of September. If I just let them expire and then reapplied is it still going to cause problems?

Cheers
