Dear Manci,
Thank you very for your reply!!! Much appreciated.
1) Employee had send a written letter to the UKBA, Work Permit, Sheffield office by post mentioning he has resigned and waiting for New employer to assign him the Cos but he hasn't received any reply
From UKBA office (How do we come to know about his visa curtailment?)
2) I called last week UKBA on 0300 nbr and I was told it will take approx 12weeks from date of application but I get different answer every time when ever I had called.
3) Yes I have emailed them on below UKBA email ids but no positive answer from them. Now I got email yesterday & I was surprised with the below reply.
Thank you for your email.
I have checked our records but have been unable to locate the application with the information provided. This does not indicate a problem; cases are currently taking several weeks to show on our main database.
Please note: applications are current taking in excess of 12 weeks.
If you sent the documents by recorded delivery and have a tracking reference (usually next to the bar code), or you have a payment reference (starting L2E, L4E or L5E), then I can make further checks.
Yours Sincerely,
Customer Service Advisor
I have emailed them the payment reference and royal mail tracking number which confirms as delivered.
4) Please correct me once my license is issued I need to assign him the Cos and he has to transfer his visa under Tier2 or is there any other way to do this.
Don’t know what to do now. I don’t want this poor fellow to suffer because of this. He is here with his wife and 2kids for almost 5yrs to complete in UK this November. Any more suggestion on advice from you will be highly appreciated.
Thanking you for your help and guidance.

I'm a new user - I need urgent help/suggestions from experts.
I have applied for Sponsor License in Mid May12 and waiting for UKBA for
issue of the License. I want to appoint a Manager for my company who is on work permit issued on 2007. I was told we need to transfer is work permit under Tier2 PBS. Situation here is the person i wants to appoint has resigned from his job last month and is waiting for me to issue COS since last month so he can complete the visa transfer formalities. When I applied I was told by UKBA on phone the process takes approx 4wks. Now I m chasing UKBA calling them and emailed several times explaning them that the work permit holder has already resigned from his last job and have heard he needs to find sponsor within 60days from he left his job but haven't heard anything from UKBA. If this is correct his 60days will finish by mid august. What should I do please help me to find a good solution for this matter.
Thanks in advance.

1.
The 60 day curtailment of your prospective employee's leave is not from the date he left his previous job but from the date of UKBA's decision to curtail, so in practice it is more (may be considerably more) than 60 days.. Has s/he had any notification from UKBA yet?
2
sponsor licence applications currently take 2-4 months to process.
3
When you know to what date the prospective employee's visa is curtailed, and approx. 4 weeks before that date, send an email to UKBA explaining the circumstances and requesting urgent treatment of your sponsor licence application. Send the email to 2 email addresses:
sponsorlicensing.support@ukba.gsi.gov.uk
scoc@ukba.gsi.gov.uk
4
Once you get the sponsor licence and assign the CoS, the prospective employee should apply for leave to remain but s/he cannot start work until s/he gets a letter of approval from UKBA.
