your employer should request additional allocation asap via the SMS. This can be done any time during the year, not only in April

how long will it take to allocated a cos for extension application? usually not very long (1-14 days) but there is no way of predicting

what should i do as my visa is expiring in December 2013. ask your employer to request the increase in allocation asap
Many thanks.

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. It was very helpful. As you said, my employer has received allocation in 1 day but when he tried to assign a COS, the system would not let him save the details. It happened thrice. Now, my employer has said he will email the print out to ukba so that they can create a COS. I was just wondering, will that work?
Thanks,

No, this will not work,
Your sponsor is clearly not experienced in using the SMS.
Ask them to call the employer helpline for assistance: 0300 123 4699

Hello,
Many thanks for all your help. I have one more question reg: bank statement for tier 2 extension. If the employer is willing to certify maintenance requirement then is it still a must to send bank statements for both main applicant and dependant? can you please list the necessary documents for tier 2 extension applications?
please reply urgently.
thanks[/u]

if yu have valid leave when you apply for the T2 extension you will be automatically awarded 10 points for maintenance - no need for funds or employer certification.

See the T2 policy guidance para 154
