You cannot apply without a CoS. The online form stipulates this as a mandatory field to progress further.2. My current visa is valid until this Feb 02nd. Is this remaining time would be enough for switching my visa or should I consider just applying without cos number and postponing the bio-metrics thing so that I can earn some more time?
Hi, harryisbackharryisback wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 7:57 amHi,
HO takes 2-3 months to process license application case. In our case it took 7 weeks when my company applied end of sep. and got approval in middle of nov. So it's not right to say if they are delaying means they are going to reject your case.
For your second question it's best if you wait so moderators can guide you better. Even if you get your license by end of Middle/end of January you will have to apply for COS by 5th Feb, which will be announced 11th Feb onwards so you will have to figure out how to buy time in between.
best of luck!

I am in the same situation right now, but our license and COS has arrived an we are just waiting to receive my visa.
I wouldn't suggest applying for a visa just now as the application process is quite quick (you can apply in an hour basically) and as soon as you apply your current visa is extended while the process is going on so just wait a while, the license may come before February (I'm sure it will!). In our license application we wrote that we need 1 COS now, and gave all my details with the application as well, so when the license arrived we had a COS assigned to the company already (we did not have to apply for it separately) and they just put my details in and did the Tier 2 visa application for me.
Our timelines are below:
Online form submitted: Nov 17th
Documents sent: Nov 17th
License approved: Dec 5th - AO received an email and we showed up on the list of sponsors
Approval letter received: Dec 6th
- The letter contains the login details for the sponsorship management system so you have to wait for it to arrive to be able to issue a COS
COS assigned to me: Dec 7th
Priority postal application: Dec 7th
Documents sent: Dec 8th
Biometrics done: Dec 8th (printed online form and done in post office)
Approval letter received: PENDING
BRP/Documents received: PENDING
We sent out quite a lot of documents and had a lawyer, but as you can see the license application went through really fast. I know that delays often happen when they require more information/documents or a visit to the office. Do you think all the necessary documents were sent out? But then again three weeks isn't really that long so you might need to wait a bit more!

I am in a similar situation where a company has just received their sponsor license. Was the CoS that was issued with the license a restricted or unrestricted CoS?Tamara93 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 1:59 pmIn our license application we wrote that we need 1 COS now, and gave all my details with the application as well, so when the license arrived we had a COS assigned to the company already (we did not have to apply for it separately) and they just put my details in and did the Tier 2 visa application for me.
Sorry I don't really know the difference that well, but if you are applying for a switch from Tier 4 to Tier 2 inside the UK, and have noted down that you need it for one worker in the license application (with supporting documents) wouldn't it be an unrestricted one?JesseKHall wrote: ↑Thu Dec 21, 2017 3:46 am

Hey, no problem at all I've been dealing with all this for my company so I know first hand how crazy it is.cgu8310 wrote: ↑Wed Dec 20, 2017 11:12 pmHi, Tamara93.
Thank you for sharing ur experience ! I am glad that ur situation is sorted well and fast and I wish I will get this sorted very soonBut it is just all out of my hands sadly.
I am not sure if my company provided HO all the sufficient documents, proofs and etc as they didn't wanna spend money on lawyers.. but they did a lot of research including calling HO to get advice on preparation before re-applying. They also sent my CV and portfolio (I am studying design) to prove that I am worth to hire (?). And then HO took the application fee in about 2 weeks but when HR manager at the company called them today, they said they haven't made a decision yet.
I think I am a bit nervous as the first application has been rejected and there's no certainty of getting a license at all. But like you said, it is been only three weeks from the date of re-apply, I think I should try to be more patient![]()
I have a question to you
When you say "as soon as you apply your current visa is extended while the process is going on so just wait a while", do you mean there's a way to extend my student Tier 4 visa till the results came up?
Thank you so much for the advice!

Basically, the Tier 4 is extended once you apply for your Tier 2 visa until a decision is made. Therefore you can even apply on the 1st of Feb and it will be fine. For example my visa expiry date was Dec 18th, but because I applied for a Tier 2 before that I am still here,obviously.
I know how frustrating it is to wait but the immigration office is swamped during the holidays so I'm sure it'll be done soon. Also take into account the bank holidays as they are closed then obviously. My visa should have been approved by now but I'm still waiting and going crazy, but at the end of the day there's not much else you can do.
Good luck and keep us posted!
