Yes, my extension was issued to expire exactly 6 years after my first visa was issued.

Thanks for the reply.

Can I just ask was the end date on you COS the same as the last day of your 6 years limit?

Also as regard the new COS for extension , if the contract is lets say for 2 years, but I only have a year and 9 months left on my tier 2 visa, what will happen to the COS, can it be issued with an end date as the last day of my 6 year tier 2 limit , which will be a year and approx 9 month??

Thanks!
