I applied for an extention of leave under the transitional arrangement having been a work permit holder for the past 4 years. My leave was due to expire on the 7th of July 2010 i filled the application and returned it as requesed to my employers for them to apply for a COS. They sent the form to UKBA without paying for the COS(an oversight). My application was refused on the basis that i did not have a valid COS all other conditions would have been met under the transitional arrangement, and have appealed to be heard at the end of october. Payment has been made and the COS is availabe but would expire on the 3rd of september 2010. Would i be able to make a fresh application when my leave has expired? or wait for the appeal by which time the current COS would have expired and a new one would have to be applied for. In a similar case it seems that the application was returned and not refused correct me if i am wrong.Please help i am so confused
