Apply For BWOP After EE Submission, Or Wait For ITA?

[andy21]

Hey guys,

Help advice would be great.

Waiting to submit my EE application (holding out for my Education assessment), but once I submit it, can I immediately apply for the Bridging Visa? Or do I have to wait until I'm in the pool first?

My current visa expires end of August (23 or 24th), so want to know if I have enough time to submission, so I get implied status.

Any advice would be helpful! Thanks
