You can't apply for an extension until 5 September 2019 (within 3 months of your expiring date), so there is no point to issue you a CoS now. When you apply for extension you will get an extension until 6 November 2020vika09 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 20, 2019 7:12 amHi everyone,
I'm hoping this is not too complex, but I was wondering what the position of Immigration Rules are in relation to timing of an extension application?
My current Tier 2 Gen (BRP) expires 5 December 2019.
My 6th year in the UK will be 6 November 2020.
Therefore, I intend to apply for my ILR approximately early November 2019.
However, in case my ILR application is not successful, the last thing I want to do is scramble for a Tier 2 Extension in December 2019. So I want to apply for a Tier 2 Extension as soon as possible.
My employer is more than happy to issue/assign a new CoS in support of this, but I wanted to make sure that if I apply - let's say - March 2019, what do I need to do (and/or make sure my employer does) to ensure that the extension I get is until 5/6 November 2020?
My interpretation is that this depends on the CoS that is issued/assigned to me; the employer has a choice between "up to 3 years" and "over 3 years". Since I've already been in the country for 4.5(ish) years, there's little sense in "over 3 years".
So, am I right in thinking that even if my employer issues a CoS now (Feb/March 2019), as long as they choose "up to 3 years" and leave a note(?) on the system saying the extension is for "maximum period available", I should get an extension until 5/6 November 2020?
Naturally, when I apply online I should state that my CoS is for "up to 3 years"?
Anything else I or my employer should do?
Or is the general consensus that I should wait as close to expiry of current Tier 2 Visa before I apply for an extension?
Thank you!
Hi, thank you for the guidance!

rule 40.22
40.22 When you assign a CoS to extend a migrant’s leave in the same tier and
category, the start date on the CoS should be the day after their current leave
expires but the migrant cannot apply for leave more than 3 months before that
date.
