With 13 years of experience as a Visa Officer with the UK Home Office and over two decades in UK immigration, we specialise in navigating these complexities.
Our dedicated service ensures you secure a priority slot quickly and efficiently. No upfront payment is required – if we don't succeed, you don't pay.
Let us handle the hassle, so you can focus on your business.
Let Immtell help you to move forward and sponsor your workers without delay, worry or stress.
If your Undefined CoS allocation is depleted, or you need to assign more CoS than you currently have available, you'll need to request an in-year allocation increase.
If you urgently need to assign a CoS to a worker for a visa extension or to hire someone new, you must ensure you have enough available. Requesting an increase in allocation is crucial.
With only 60 priority service requests accepted daily, securing a Home Office priority slot to expedite your CoS allocation request can be highly challenging.
Remembering to send daily requests to the Home Office for a priority slot, only to face refusals, is both frustrating and time-consuming. Let us take care of it for you.

Initial Steps:
Upon placing an order and confirming that you want us to proceed, you will need to submit the CoS allocation request via the Sponsor Management System (SMS) if not already done.

Our Actions:
Within 1 working day, we will begin requesting a priority service slot from the Home Office.
Once a slot is obtained, we will forward you the email containing a link to make the payment directly to the Home Office.

Obtaining a priority service slot does not influence the consideration of your request; we do not guarantee the outcome.
Persistent Efforts:
We will submit repeated requests for up to 10 days if we are unsuccessful in obtaining a slot initially.
We understand that obtaining a limited priority CoS allocation slot can be challenging, but we are confident in our ability to secure one for you. Here's our guarantee:

We are dedicated to securing a priority service slot for your CoS allocation request.
Risk-Free Service:
Payment is only taken if we secure a priority slot. No upfront fees are taken.
There is no risk, only reward. We are here to ensure your satisfaction and success in obtaining your CoS allocation.

An Undefined CoS is used for skilled workers who are already in the UK and need to extend their current visa, switch to a Skilled Worker visa from another category, or for new hires already in the country.
A Defined CoS is required for skilled workers applying from outside the UK. These are requested separately and are not eligible for expedited processing through the priority service.
A priority service slot is not mandatory but is beneficial if you need to expedite the allocation of your CoS request. Without it, your request will be processed within the standard Home Office timelines.
The standard processing time for CoS allocation requests by the Home Office is typically up to 18 weeks. This can vary depending on the specifics of your request and the volume of applications they are handling.
The priority service aims to process CoS allocation requests within 5 working days from the date the Home Office receives the priority service fee payment.
The Home Office Priority Service Fee is £200. This fee allows you to expedite the processing of your CoS allocation request and is paid directly to the Home Office once a priority service slot is secured.
