Hi All,
I have been keeping a close on the forums.
My company applied for license in 1st week of august and have just recieved a reply today saying that they are still processing April applications. My visa is due to expire in dec. Could anyone please help on some alternatives that could help me in this situation.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Nopes, they did not mention any specific date. I have been to the thread mentioned. But I am worried, if they are still processing april applications, it will take nearly 6 months to get my liecnse that means it will be Jan-feb and we are only allowed 28 days overstay.
Is there any way of getting this done early. My company has already requested them to treat this as urgent.

Its unbelievable and shame that they are processing applications from April 2012.
Wtf and why. To be honest this is on purpose . We all need to raise petition or write a letter to PM at least about this shitty situation. |

Hey i know this whole sponsor license issue can be very stressful. Infact i am in the very same situation and my current visa expires on the 27th october.
My company sent the application on the 26th of June and we heard back yesterday saying they are processing and need more documents as one of the documents we sent was not valid.
So here is my advice. Relax. They are getting a large number of these requests more than they can handle, and only looking at cases that is super urgent. My visa is expiring in 2 weeks (10 working days) so this counts as urgent. so wait till it's only 10 working days till your visa expires (or a bit before that. I know it's nerve wrecking to wait till the last minute!) and send them an email. I think there is an email address on the forums here that you should send to check for sponsor progress. And they WILL get back 
So relax. |

| SimiP, when the UKBA provided a response did they say what week of april application they are working on? It's been stuck on the first week of April for the past two months. |

Yes, but here's the thing. Most who have made urgent requests have weeks and perhaps months before their current visa expires. They explicitly say that they will only consider if its only 10 working days left till expiry. Also it will help if the company can make a really strong case in their email to say thy thy absolutely need you else the company will be in a huge loss etc. also will be super helpful if you be nice as well - which was probably why they got back to us as soon as we sent an urgent request. |

Hi All,
Thanks for all your suggestions!!!! I much appreciate your replies and pouring in your suggestions!!!
Yup, they are still processing applications in April. Last month too it was similar response. So, I am a bit concerned. If its taking two months to process applications, how long will it take to process the latter ones.
Also, if anybody has applied for visa without CoS and Sponsor licence number, could you all provide some information. If so, doesnt the application gets rejected after the last bio-metric appointment and still we havent heard anything from them??

End of november or early december email them. Yes, they may be processing applications from first week of april, but mine was submitted end of June, and they are processing it now as it's only 10 working days left till my current visa expires. I know exactly how you feel, as if i don't get this all sorted in 2 weeks i have to fly home  but hold tight, and enjoy your time here while you can. Worry is just wasted energy, and you have done everything you can. |

Hi All,
Did anyone get the licence when you requested them to treat as urgent???
Please update...whats the maximum timeframe they take to issue licence when requested as urgent???
Besides, after licence issued how about CoS???

Hi All,
A quick update.. Finally, received again a mail from UKBA regarding the progress made..They are still processing applications received on 4th April.
After sometime, we all need to request the applications as urgent since most of us will be having visa expiring and again there will be delays for urgent ones too!!!!!!!!!

It's crazy to me that they're still stuck on April 4 applications. It's been over a month with no traction on this date. My feeling is that they just give this date to prevent people from trying to contact them. |

Is there anyway you make an application without CoS and provide them as soon as your company gets it? Please keep updated about your case.
Thanks.

Hi,
Will surely keep on updating.
There's an thread on http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=112044 which will be helpful, if in any case, we dont receive CoS on time.
Hope so they hurry up with the procedures!!! All the best!!!

I am in a strange position. I handed in my notice and left my jb at the end of August. On my BRP it says expiry Aug 2014, so it is not expiring just yet.
My future employer has been waiting sine May for their sponsorship. They have readvertised my job twice but cannot find other Physics teachers with suitable qualifications! Any advice?? Should I apply now and update CoS info later? I have not been issued with a curtailment notice....
