CoS allocation completed, new CoS request

[jimjace]

Hi,

Current Visa: PSW Tier1
Switching to Tier 2

I have worked for my company for 18 months, they are a registered sponsor , but they only had one CoS per year, which they gave me in October, but my application was refused because the Salary was below than specified for Programmer Code 2132.

Now my company has increased my salary to 26K but my Visa is expiring on 11 January. Now they have made a request for another CoS, which UKBA woman says take 5 working days.

I am stressed and just want to ask , can there be any reason for it to take longer than 5 days or can they refuse to grant my company a new CoS for any reason.

Also, is there such thing when people can apply with 28 days after thier expiry of current visa?

Also do you guys really think is it worth paying £500-£700 to the immigration advisor for filling out the applications form. The only reason for refusal was my pay, all other point were granted.
