Hi Everyone,
After a long wait of 16 weeks and 2 days, today my company received COS. it was applied on June 20 and received today around 11 am. My employer will assign it tomorrow. Hope everything will go well. Best of luck for you guys, who are still waiting for it.

Thanks.

Congratulations! Did your company apply just for the CoS and not a sponsor licence?

No, Aug and still waiting.. Although, my visa is due to expire soon ( in 4 weeks), UKBA advised that if it's under 2 weeks they would prioritise it and I am hoping they stick to that.

Judging from some previous posts, people were given CoS allocation when expiry date is near by...

I am waiting for the allocation as well and my visa expire in less than 2 months, so probably need the urgent treatment as well.

13 weeks is too long! When will your current visa expire? Maybe you have to wait until 2 weeks before its expire for an urgent treatment. I feel very nervous as well since my visa expire in mid december.

unrestricted///..one it is..falls under tier-2 ict. technically only tier-2 general cos have classification of restricted and unrestricted...
tier-2 ict by definition itself is unrestricted....(mods correct me if i am wrong anywhere on the technalities of tier-2)

Hi ska.omer,

One doubt, in the SMS system did the status change while your unrestricted cos was about to come. What was the status just before it was assigned or allotment being done. Once requested status is shown as "requested" post which what re the different statuses?

Hi Sha23,
I am not sure about the status changes as I did not have access to sms system. The day my company recieved the COS, I was in a meeting and in the middle of that HR confirmed me about it. He had said, He just received an email from UKBA and the company had been allocated two unrestricted COS.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Any idea what telephone number you contacted them on? We called the number listed on website, but couldn't get through at all - just hanging on the phone for ages. Tx in advance.

number is 03001234699
Email is:
SponsorProgress@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk
Best wishes

That should hopefully be useful for someone. We just received CoS allocation and assigned new certificate.

As I suspected - they only deal with cases that are 2 weeks (10 working days) to visa expiry.

As soon as you are within this period, HR should send an e-mail with visa attached asking urgent treatment - very next day, it should be allocated.

So, if this is all you are waiting for - don't worry, you will get it eventually as there seems to be a pattern here.
