Defined CoS Processing Delay

[Tola44]

Hi Lobos, I haven’t received it yet.. I hope I get it by next week. I think Elizabeth got hers already, she started a trend on here stating she received the COS but the recipient doesnt want it and she was asking if she could assign it to somebody else.

[Lobos]

Nice to hear she got hers! It's sad they not only delay it but also make mistakes after such a while. I hope you'll get yours soon. BTW when did you apply?

[Tola44]

I know I’ll get it by next week, applied by Feb 25th.

[Lobos]

Thanks! Great! Good luck, indeed!

[Tola44]

Hy Lobos, has it been reviewed and corrected?

[Lobos]

Hi Tola, still waiting for response! Really frustrating! Were you able to communicate the HO ppl? If so, could you please let me know how you did it? And, please update me when you have your cos? Good luck!

[Tola44]

There’s a help desk Contact, my manager has been speaking with them and the excuse is always the backlog. I’m still waiting

[Lobos]

They say they had more than 25,000 cases of backlog as I learnt from my contact

[Tola44]

It’s so sad, means waiting time is going to take longer now. Feels frustrating

[Lobos]

Hi Tola, is there any news about the cos? If you don't mind, what's your nationality? Beyond the Ukraine crisis or "backlog" there seems to be clear pattern of continued discrimination by the home office profiling applications based on nationality, essentially red-flagging applicants from certain countries.

Hello Lobos, got an email from my manager that they got it today. I’m Nigerian and I think the time frame for normal applications ( asides the ones that are fast tracked), is 9 weeks ( I.e two months and a week). Cause I deduced from several responses on here and on YouTube and came to that conclusion and it helped me know when mine was going to arrive.

[Lobos]

Finally you got it! Congratulations Tola! Good luck with your visa application!

[Tola44]

Thank you Lobos, hope they correct yours soon and fast.

Hello everyone. My employer has submitted the request for my defined cos about 8 weeks ago and we are still waiting. Does anyone else has the same experience? Let me know if anyone was waiting that long!

Hello, have you been able to receive your defined CoS?

[Youngaviator]

Hye, my company had applied for my defined cos on the 23th March. Untill now im still waiting..tomorrow gonna be 9th week..

[Ace3470]

Hello,

Did you get your Defined CoS now as your last post stated you have been waiting for 9 weeks?

[Lobos]

Hi dears, I got my CoS on 9th of May. Sorry for late response! I hope you'll get yours soon in case you haven't. Regards

[Ace3470]

Congratulations,

If I May ask, how long did it take you to get it after the correction was made as I am aware from your post that a wrong one was applied for initially?

Many thanks.

[Lobos]

11 weeks in total, two weeks after corrections were made. I understand how painful waiting could be since I experienced it! It's also frustrating to employers as well as I learned it lately. Same thing in the visa application.. Hope you'll get soon! Good luck, again!

Hello,

Did you get your Defined CoS now as your last post stated you have been waiting for 9 weeks?

Hye Ace, nope im still waiting today is 10 weeks already..hopefully to get it by this week.

[Ace3470]

Wow. That's really a long time to be honest.And I hope you get it soon. The waiting game is really frustrating to mildly put it.

If I May ask you;what's profession is it?

[Youngaviator]

Yeah , to be honest its very frustrating.. but what else i can do other than wait..im working as an engineer..how long did you wait for your Cos

[Ace3470]

Yeah, we just have to wait despite the snaily pace of the Home Office. Am in my 4th week now-so going by the recent time frame, have still got some more weeks ahead to wait up. Really shocking!

[Ace3470]

Yeah , to be honest its very frustrating.. but what else i can do other than wait..im working as an engineer..how long did you wait for your Cos
