Hi all,

My employer is issuing me COS for SOC 3534 and I am ACCA part-qualified, so using the New Entrant discount for professional training for ACCA, as it is UK-recognised professional program. I am not sure what documents shall be required along with ACCA transcripts to prove the job shall be professional training for me. Some details about my profile-

I am currently on Youth Mobility Visa and working for my current employer on Zero-hour contract from last 1 year and 9 months. My visa is expiring on 14th July 2026 and my boss has applied COS in priority and it has been accepted for priority. For YMS visa, I didnt need any English proof earlier, but RQF Level 6, so I am eligible for the SOC code applied and done IELTS UKVI GTE in April this year, got the score.

Could someone please suggest what documents and process shall be required for the visa application, if I can do it myself or involve a legal professional. It's gonna cost me £800-1000 roughly and I am on a little cash-crunch for the payment of IHS and visa fee already. But anyway visa is priority.

Hi all, my employer already holds a sponsorship licence, and got one COS issued in December 2025. He made another COS application on 19th April, we putting email to Post licence priority service every single day at exact 7 am, still there is no revert, it has been more than 2 weeks.

Is anyone else having the same issues? Can someone please share their timelines and any suggestions on this are welcomed. My visa is expiring in July so just couple of months left.

Thanking in anticipation of a helpful reply.
