CoS allocation increase

Post by asif1444 » Thu Sep 14, 2023 5:16 pm

Hello,

I am currently staying in the UK under Graduate visa which is due to expire on 15th October. I have received an offer for a software developer job recently and they agreed to sponsor me. But yesterday when submitting my visa application through a solicitor, it turned out that my employer ran out of undefined CoS allocation for this year. Now they are going to apply for an increase in CoS allocation which I believe can take up to 18 weeks though the standard method. My question is does it really take that long since I don't really have much time in hand?

I am aware of the premium method which takes only 5 days and my employer will go for that. But I read somewhere that they are not easy get hold of as only 60 premiums are released every day.

My question is does it really take that long as per what is known from practioners and forum members whic can be read u on here, yes it can take up to thatsince I don't really have much time in hand?
