My Tier 2 visa (General - extension ) was refused on 22/09/2016. My last visa expired on 05/08/2016. I applied before the expiry of my visa. I don't want to go for administrative review as it will most likely to be unsuccessful.
The application was refused due to inappropriate salary, I have renegotiated my contract with the employer and they are willing to give me a new COS. I'm confused about this process as the refusal letter didn't explain any reapplication methods, Can you kindly help me out with following questions,
1.) What should be the new CoS start date ?
2.) Am I under in-time visa application ?
3.) Am I currently under 3C Leave
2.) Can I reapply with standard service or should I use priority service?
3.) What should I do if were asked to provide BRP and passport ?
Note: UKBA has confiscated my passport and BRP.
This forum gave me some hope when I heard the worst

Thanks
