Can anyone please let me know whether the Tier 2 Extension is applied to in the UK or I will have to go back home? I got restricted CoS and my sponsor is willing to extand it for the same salary. Thanks

You had a restricted CoS for the entry clearance application but for the extension you will need an unrestricted CoS and once you have it you can apply from the UK. Read para 200 and onwards in the Tier 2 policy guidance:

Thank you very much for your quick response! Can my dependent apply for extension with me when i get unrestricted CoS or does he have to leave the UK to wait till i get my BRP and then apply from his country? Thank you!

If you are applying for your T2 extension from the UK and provided he is in the UK as your dependant he can also apply for the extension of his leave in-country. If he applies at the same time as you the fee will be a little less.
