How to know whether employer withdrawn my COS

[kUMARI16]

Hi Experts,

Firstly, Thank you for all your support and for your time on answering our queries.

I am about to apply for Tier 2 General Visa under changes of employment and before applying I have few questions which I thought of clearing through immigration boards because I personally feel it is a very good site and more responsive on our queries.

I was assigned an unrestricted COS by a sponsor couple of weeks ago and now I don't want to go with that company for Tier 2 General Visa because I got an another opportunity from another sponsor who wishes to sponsor me, so here my question is my new sponsor can continue assigning COS to me without my first sponsor withdrawing sponsorship or at first do I have to request the first sponsor to withdraw his sponsorship.

Also does that impact me in anyway on my Visa application though I haven't applied for any visa application on the assigned COS till now.

Could someone please answer my above query and many thanks for your time in advance.

My understanding is that you cannot have two "active/live" CoS in your name, one must be withdrawn first.

Hi Experts,

I have a quick question and I hope someone will answer my query.

I received an offer from company A who like to sponsor me and assigned a COS on my name two weeks back where in the meantime I also got an another offer from company B. Now I don't want to go with company A to apply for Tier 2 General visa application. So I want to write an email to company A for withdrawing their COS (because I believe one person shouldn't have two COS assigned) but here my question is how would I know whether company A withdrawn their sponsorship on me or not? So that I can continue to go with company B. Also is that the correct procedure to write an email to sponsor for withdrawing their sponsorship.

Please suggest and thanks for your valuable suggestions.

Hi CR001,

Yes, I believe you are correct that I cannot have two active CoS and here my question is if I ask company A COS to be withdrawn how would I know? whether they withdrawn or not? Please suggest.

If Company B tries to issue you a COS while the COS from Company A is still active, it will not be possible as they will get a notification that you already have an active COS.
