tier 2 cos unrestricted requested waiting time

[funky22]

hi all,
my employeer did request an additional cos for me which i am currently on T1 post study and have worked here for over 7 month .

looking at the time it take for UKBA to approve the certificate i came across this article
http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 20ceaf818a

it mentioned that UKBA will reject any additional request if the person has more than 60 days on their currect visa which i am currently on T1 and have around 7 month.

does this mean our request will be rejected ? is the above statement true?

how long generally does it take to assign a certificate

Thanks

if it is something you know please do let me know

hi it usually takes around 1 week to get the CoS, assuming your employer already has a sponsorship license and used the sponsorship management system to apply for 1 for you. I don't see why it would get rejected because usually at the stage of requesting for the CoS, the system doesn't question about the person you are applying the certificate for. Only when you are allocating the certificate, it asks for the details of your job title etc, but even then, the certificate number is assigned immediately after you fill up the form. UKBA makes the decision after they receive your tier 2 visa application and evaluate your salary requirements etc and decide whether to use the assigned certificate for you or not

thanks very much Hrin, lots of thanks

i got worried because on the link posted earlier it was mentioning that it can take few month and if your visa has more than 60 days left then you will be rejected

i guess that is for extension of tier 2 and for switching to this category from another category there is no limit such as as above and can switch anytime, correct?

in regard to assinging an additional cos that is great if they can do it within a week

Thanks once again
