Tier 2 Visa Extension Query

[UKBA-VICTIM]

Dear All,

I have my extension due in Dec 2015 but we are not sure if we have any COS available in SMS

How do we check the available COS? (How long will it take for allocation if we don't have any)


Thanks,

[UKBA-VICTIM]

Dear Manci,

Kindly help with this

it should be visible within the sms. Un-allocated cos.
If you dont have any allocation at the moment, you will need unrestricted cos, and it is requested within the sms. It takes between 2 days to 2 weeks.

Hi,

I have recently extended my Tier 2 Successfully.

Please check the link below to check and request COS,
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... icence.pdf

Follow pages from 38 to 48.(make sure you read NOTE sections in the guide)

My Timeline,
COS requested by HR: 18-09-2015
COS Received in SMS: 22-09-2015
COS assigned: 23-09-2015 with start date as 24-09-2015(Even though I have valid leave until Feb 2016)
Premium Service Appointment: 28-09-2015, approved on same day.
BRP received with new leave until OCT 2018: 01-10-2015.

Fortunately, the whole process took less than 2 weeks in my case.

Hope it helps.

Thank you both

Our annual allocation was showing 0.. So we have requested to add our annual allocation..

Does any one know how long will it take for the annual allocations process?

Hi skraj,

Thanks for the update, I am going to apply for my extension as well and I have got the COS number from the company already.

My question is, I could only find the form to be filled up in the priority application section, so is that the one i should be filling up. I have another 1 month left for my current work permit date, so I do have time in hand , trying to see if there is a normal service application where i could save a bit on the cost.

If you have any information in regards to this , please do share. Appreciate your help on this.
