only thing i can suggest is.... apply on 3rd without cos pay your fees by check(5-day delay) get your cos request submitted on 6th april. if its unrestricted, i woud imagine it will be assigned very quickly..... come to think of it now, your app would be judged based on current rules( cuz of the da...

Are u sending yours too? with COS next week or so? Let us know..any movements.. Thx again ! Chris Best of luck Chris. My ...

i think first they will send an e-mail to to the Authorising officer, they will upload the COS on your sms (sponsor management system) and they will send by post as well.. According to the link above, COS outcomes will not be out until 11/March. My visa expires on 9th of March and both I and my my ...

1)If I cannot, my company will still try to help me to get one. Can I send my application without COS? 2)During the time of waiting for the new visa, can I keep on working? 3)Is there any legal rules I can refer to and show it to my HR officer? 4)Is there any way for me to delay my appilcation until...

I thought this might help you guys as well. I just spoke to UKBA at 08706067766 and explained that my visa expires on 9th of Mar and what are my options if my employer does not get COS on the time. Operator said that I can make the application even without the COS only if my employer has applied fo...

Correct my frd..what is your situation then? If u dont mind explaining..thx I am on PSW, however my employer is not tier 2 license holder and also not wiling to sponsor me.

As hsyasin said, it is a tricky one. If you are in the UK,I'll suggest that you go to the appeal armed with the COS you have just been issued. Not sure whether you are going for the oral appeal or the written appeal, but in any case you ideally want to make sure that the arguments are along the lin...

I am praying a lot but May I ask if it would be possible to have a look of your covering letter as I am considering doing the same thing U did. Send my application without COS with a covering letter asking if possible to wait until the result comes out. ..BUt I do have a question is that overstayin...

However u still need to prove that u have been working for this employer for 6 months so u need 6 moths pay slips as a proof. additional letter from employer may also be helpful. before u...

Today they have taken the £475 fee from my account. Is this a good sign tht they might hold on to my application? Good luck to you all. Hi ther...

The company had to apply for an additional COS for me, and its taken around a month and a half for the home office to get back to us. They are an existing A rated sponsor and I've been working with the...
