My sponsor certificate validity is ending today (07/02/2013) but my application received on 14/01/2013 - Please any one in same situation or haveing same experience- I am a bit worried about the certificate validity end date as not got anything from UKBA till date

no need to worry as you have applied for the visa already

I agree. You have to apply before the CoS lapses (within 3 months of its issuance). You did so. The fact the UKBA is sitting on your app is not your fault and will not affect the outcome.

Hello
I am on PSW and planned to set-up a small design consultancy firm now. I have access to £50K. It is obvious that at the moment I do not have any work/contracts from client and it may take next six month when I may get some design work from some client. I have not invested any money so far but have £50K to invest.
My questions-
1) Do I need some proof at the time of my application that I have got work/contracts from some client?
2) Do I need to show at the time of application that I have set-up office etc and invested some money?
OR
I can apply now on the basis of future plan as nothing has happened in reality now but intention is to set-up all and get work from clients in next 12 months.
Thanks in advance for your help
