Thank you, I will confirm this with my employer, as to what it means when they say CoS duration can be extended.iworker wrote:When filling the cos, the employer has to put in start date and end date. Once assigned, the cos can not be changed or amended. They can, however enter some notes in the cos. I have recently seen a case where the notes were entered to alter the end date by few months (still within 3 months) and UKVI has failed to take note of it. So i am not sure if you should take the gamble. The reason i say its a gamble is, u might end up paying higher fee (for 5 year visa) and end up with a 3 year visa. Choice is yours after all.

The CoS in my case should have been the unrestricted one. Even the unrestricted CoS can not been amended?
Assuming that even the unrestricted CoS can not be amended, perhaps I can ask them to reapply for another CoS with 5 years duration. In that case, can you or others suggest if there will be any problem in going for a 5 years Tier 2 visa from a Tier 4 DES?
Well, my employer specifically said that the Length of CoS is 3 years and it can be extended. They did not say that Visa can be extended, which will of course be true if the CoS is extended.luckysunny wrote: Also, your employer is right about a 3 year visa being able to extend. The visa can be extended after the 3 years visa is granted, and after you start working.

ktyagi wrote:Thank you, I am in no way arguing against what you have said. I was just emphasising that my employer believes that the CoS can be extended and they did not mean that the visa can be extended if and when needed (this is what I understand from the communication between them and myself).
Of course what they believe might be risky. That is, they might think that adding a sponsor's note is the way to ensure amendment, which as you and iworker have pointed out could be risky. I have already written an email to my employer about this with the information that you have provided. Let us see how it goes.
Cheers!
Sorry for that.... I am on a Tier 4 DES visa.ktyagi wrote: I am on a Tier 4 dependent visa
