I already have a COS pending - does that change my options?

DRAFT (attorney sign-off): It matters a lot, and mostly in a good way - a timely-filed pending COS generally lets you remain while it is decided. What it does NOT do is authorize work or study before approval, and stacking a second filing on top of a pending one needs professional eyes. Share what was filed and when, and we will have the attorney confirm how this program fits into it.
