Emergency consideration for CoS quota increase

[Gadro]

Hi everyone

My work permit LTR expires at the very start of Nov. I have a T2 application ready to go but I am missing the CoS number.

My employer is a branch of a bigger company. It turned out that only the parent company had a sponsor licence so the branch had to be merged onto the parent's licence. The problem is this seemingly "easy" part of the process took 6 weeks and was threatening to take longer if it wasn't for a very frustrated letter from our boss to the BA.

So finally, now the companies have merged onto one licence and an application can be made to increase CoS allocation based on my circumstances.

But I am acutely aware that a panel reviews this at the start of every month ... so it would not be reviewed until after my current LTD expires. Making my T2 application fail.

I really need some advice or help on what we can do.

Is there some way to expedite a request for CoS quota increase in an emergency situation such as this?

Am I able to submit the T2 application with additional information regarding this scenario and a copy of the pending CoS allocation request?

Any and all help would be appreciated!!!

I have same problem and my employer tried to push the immigration for making an urgent decision through the local MP. Immigration panel refused my employer request and asked to wait for the panel meeting on Nov 1st which is today. My psw expires on 7th Nov and am waiting for the panels decision, I should hear some thing before 5th Nov and hope fully should be able to apply before 7th. I am really worried about my situation.

Please update your status.

Thanks

UKBA is officially messed up

[The Station Agent]

My advice would be: do not let your current status expire; lodge an application for further leave and make it very clear to the UKBA that your CoS number is being held up due to the long time the UKBA in Sheffield is currently taking to process changes to sponsor licences and CoS quotas. As soon as you get the CoS number you contact them and tell them - hopefully they will sit on your application long enough for you to do this. Many people are in the same situation - it's a total mess of the UKBA's making. Soon it will probably be in the press and only then will it get some action....................
