Thanks tier2applicant

Hi, do you know if your sponsor had any COS allocated to them at the start of the year. my sponsor for some reason had 0 COS available in the current year and they could not ask for additional COS as well as there had been no current allocation in the current year. they have applied for an annual r...

Manci thank you very much, we have received today the allocation and applied two weeks ago! My Level 1 User will have to assign me the CoS - may i please check what documents are needed from my end to provide to assist the Level 1 user? Hi Meggie, do you know if the CoS request made was an urgent o...

Hello members, has anyone recently been through the process of getting an extra CoS? I need to know how long it takes for the HO to provide a CoS (unrestricted) please.

Thanks
Ann

Hey Appex221, good to see you here again! That's assuring, I am assuming the HO did not ask for any documents to your HR dept during the renewal process. I would still suggest our HR to prepare documents as from the guidance I noticed HO only give you 5 days to prepare and send any documents require...

Hello members, I would really appreciate if anyone who has recently gone through the sponsor licence renewal process could share your experience please. I am aiming to help our HR prepare the best and would be very helpful to know how long it took + what documents you needed to send to the HO. Thank...

Not for SET LR category I am afraid! T1 or T2 have a 90 days grace period after the visa is granted which can be counted to completed 5 years residency to be eligible for ILR. In the case of SET (LR) you can apply 28 days prior to your first entry although I have seen some cases on this forum you h...

Thanks Appex221, much appreciated. That's what I thought, but I also read somewhere on this thread that if you enter in the UK within 3 months of date of Visa grant, your 28 days count starts from date of grant..

Cheers

Hey guys, I am a bit confused on when I become eligible to apply for my ILR (Long Residency) and would appreciate if someone could clarify please.
