CoS allocation help.

[PhysioInd]

Hello guys,
Asking this for my partner.

She would be switching from a Tier 4 to Tier 2 visa and has an employer who is ready to sponsor her. However, when the employer tried to allocate a CoS for her through the Sponsor Management System, he was notified the following-
" The assignment could not be processed due to insufficient CoS remaining in your allocation"
So what does this mean?

Also for this, the employer is applying for a Priority Service to the Home Office.
Is it so that the Employer needs to be a Premium Member or just an A rated sponsor should be alright?

Would really appreciate help and guidance in this.

Looks like the employer need to request for additional uCoS from UKVI via the SMS system.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
For the employer to request an additional UCoS, does be need to be a premium member?

I don't think so, but they should be able make that out when they try to request additional UCoS via SMS system anyway.

Yes. Her employer is trying to call the Home Office for the Priority Service since a month but its all in vain. Do you know within how many days or calls they answer? Because as far as I know the Home Office just answers 50 calls per day pertaining to Priority Service.

Guys please help

1. The employer is trying for Priority Service, what is the Priority Service for?
2. Can he get more UCoS with this Priority Service?
3. He also tried calling the Home Office since a month and the phone is constantly engaged and there is no response.

What can be done now?

Your employer need to login to SMS and try this out:

"Apply for additional CoS/CAS by selecting the Request CoS/CAS allocation increase menu item in Licence summary, applications and services.".
