I cannot be able to go and pick her up on the said dates due to family concerns and work issues here in the U.K., We already booked to go to pick her up 15 Aug 2019. We did not know that there is only a 30-days validity for her entry to the UK. When is the proper time to apply for a transfer of conditions to have a new vignette? And how long will it take for a new vignette to be issued? Hope to hear of your advise. PThank you very much

Which date did you select as her entry date on the application form?

On her application it was supposed to be September 2018, but her visa was denied so I made an appeal and with God's grace the appeal was considered so was given a visa. I never thought that there is a 30-days validity period for her to enter the UK and due to work issues and family matters I cannot go to pick her up within that validity period. BTW, She is still a minor. We already planned to go and get her in August 2019. I am planning to put 15 August 2019 as her new date of entry in her application for Transfer of Conditions.

A Transfer of Conditions would be the way to go. You would normally apply for this after the existing 30 day period had expired.

Not sure but I would give yourself plenty of time if you have to travel on 15 August. I would apply next Friday.
