you won't get a refund unless the application itself is considered invalid - which it wouldn't be purely due to the COS number.

What exactly have they said about why the number is 'invalid'

What is a 'coy'?

i don't understand. Has your employer actually allocated you an individual COS?

What does the reference letter contain?

Does it include your individual cos number? Did you put the information from the letter in your tier 2 application form?

i was not given a cos. it was just a general visa reference, confirrming everything about me.

They have to give you a cos- they might give you the information in the form of a letter or a statement but they must have issued a cos otherwise your application fails. So the visa letter doesn't include a cos reference number? It seems odd that an employer on the list of sponsors wouldn't know this very basic thing.

Are you sure that the letter they have given you isn't your cos.
What information does it contain?

it contains all info that is needed with a normal reference number and i got an email saying i do not have the unique cos ref number. i replied the email saying that is all d company gives as confirmed by my hr. the guy hu emailed me said it is not a valid unique cos number bla bla bla. so i am in a pickle

you are required to have a COS in order to score the necessary points - so if it is the case that you don't have one, they are not being awkward, they are considering your case in accordance with the rules.

I don't understand what you mean by a 'normal reference number'

it was just a random reference.

What do you mean? Are you sure this is not your cos number?

no it is not. it is just at the top of the letter like a normal letter, written OUR REF.

Post by **Greenie** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 8:58 pm

Have you asked your employer why they have not issued you a cos?

yes they sed this is all they ever issue regarding visas. that they dont do cos

Post by **Greenie** » Sat Apr 21, 2012 9:07 pm

Then your application will be refused. If they are a tier 2 sponsor they should know that they cannot sponsor a worker without issuing a cos. Would suggest you seek legal advice.
