I understand the anxiety & frustration with waiting endlessly, but just know that it'll surely come through. There's nothing you can do than just keep hoping, and try to occupy your mind.

Thanks for the encouragement.

Sorry about that. I'm aware of someone whose employer applied for a Defined CoS in the second week of Dec & they received it yesterday - roughly 3 weeks of processing. This whole CoS thing is dependent on your employer amongst other factors.

This feels aching. The manager keeps telling me it's the Home office. The coy is A rated, on the HO liesence list, registered with CQC. 🥺🥺

Defined means applying from outside the UK. In this scenario, yes, my Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is defined. The HR department at my research institution mentioned a delay in issuing CoS during this time of the year. I speculate that many companies have used up their annual allocation, and the UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) is likely delaying until January to start mass issuances.

Hello @electromagnito

I wanted to ask if you have received your cos as i have been waiting for mine since Nov.23 . Honestly it's really mentally tiring having to wait this long. Today make it 6weeks already. Has anyone received CoS recently pls?
