its likely that your visa app will not be decided by 15th april... based on the average time of 4-6 weeks....

so you will not have passport anyway to travel


cheers

COS itself shouldn't take more than a week. Employer just needs to enter the data in ukba website and give you the number, but they may need time for other administrative work and may need to check their quota for that month etc.

When I tried just before xmas for in person appointment there were none until end of Feb anywhere in UK, but found places in different dates when I tried again just before new year. May be from cancellations. Book an appointment during late March - you don't have to go if you don't want to. You may even post the application if things are done earlier.
