BRP expiry and cos expiry mismatch

[Parth198080]

All, need your advise and best way to move forward.

I have been granted Tier 2 General visa.

My cos is expiring this month, however my BRP expiry date is 3 July 2020. I have contacted my company's immigration team to extend the cos as the project I am working on will be till 2 Jan 2019, they have said since your BRP is valid till July 2020, not to be worried about and no new COS is required. And I am eligible to stay and work for the company. Is the company approach correct? Is it ok to have different expiry dates in COS and BRP?

THANKS

A CoS is only valid to USE for your visa application for 3 months. However if your CoS information stated your employment from x date to y date, then that is what your visa was granted for.

Thanks for your response. So the end date specified in my cos is 31st July. Do I need to get a new cos assigned till Jan 2019. This means a new BRP card will be issued.

And the expiry date difference, is this a problem.

You were granted a visa presumably based on the employment length stated in your CoS. What are the visa start and end dates of your visa??

[Parth198080]

When you say Visa start date and end date, I presume BRP start and end date. I just have a vignettes stamp in my passport.

BRP start and end date : 3 July 17 to 2 July 20.

You stated you have a BRP now you say you have a visa vignette in your passport?? They are two different things.

So your visa was issued for 3 years, because that was the duration of the CoS.

Once a CoS is assigned to you to apply for your visa, it is only valid for 3 months to USE in a visa application. This has nothing to do with the CoS length of 3 years employment for visa duration.

You are overthinking this.
