The good news is at least someone has access to the SMS system. Normal application of in year cos renewal takes up to 18 weeks. It will be wise if you ask your consultant to go for priority application which will cost £200 but cos allocation will be very quick. See link below: https://www.gov.uk/gov...

You can travel any date between March 22 to April 21. Thanks

No, it does not mean that COS allocation was renewed. Only the person who has access to SMS system will be able to tell this.

Will there be any problem if apply Tier 2 extension in this way ? No problem Any chances of rejection? Did your employer reported your pay rise to UKVI within 10 working days of effective date of pay rise? If yes, then all good, if not then it could be problem but very rare chances. Also, check tha...

Hi Everyone, I have read on quite a few post that when applicants applied for change of employer in Tier 2 and if their application for employment change is refused, then on refusal letter it is also mentioned that they cannot continue working for their current employer. Is this really happening now...

Thanks CR001

Yes, they can use the same RLMT for six month if the vacancy has not been filled.

Why they are withdrawing the COS application and then putting a fresh application? Will this not cause more delay?

Thanks

Yes, The employer still needs to inform UKVI as you have not received your ILR approval yet and technically you are still on Tier 2 visa.

Thanks,

Hi,

You should be fine coming back to UK as long as you have valid leave.
