I think allowances and bonuses are factored into the calculation. Not 100% on houses though.

I can only assume a glut of previous applicants dropped out in August after seeing the horrendous scores for June/July.

Would *love* to see what the cut-off was - if indeed there was one!

Also, a hearty "lmao" to the geniuses predicting 45/50/70 points this month. Your grasp of statistical analysis will see you well in hell.

Yes, got the word from my HR manager.

COS at 40 points granted. Good luck everyone!

Nothing yet here. It's getting late here, but I'm ready to wait into the wee small hours for it.

Thanks guys, Good news I guess! Well maybe I should delete that post so they don't get any ideas. What good news??? Did you get update from your employer?? I think he was referring to his post about the Home Office artificially keeping the limit at 45 points, and how that's impossible. Nothing on t...

Hi All, 40 points too and fingers crossed. Just want to add to the last minute discussion, Does anyone think that they may continue to keep the cut off point higher as people earning a salary of >32K (>45points) are paying a much higher rate of tax (40% tax for those earning over £31,786)? It would...

RCOS drinking game - have a shot every time someone posts "Still waiting"

(Seriously though, good luck everybody.)

Hi Guys, I have just received my Tier 2 today and I am very thrilled. I came to this forum after the Rcos situation in June and I know how anxious it was. I started paying attention to the immigration news/updates since. I hope the historical data I posted here was somewhat useful. I wish those wai...

40 points here. Fingers crossed.

Edit: Sorry, I'm just on edge right now. I'm incredibly worried about this and astounded by how unfair it is. I was the only person to apply for my job - even with the job posted on JobsCentre Plus and a recruiter searching for candidates, I was the only person to put up my hand. So the excuse I'm ...

I also take serious umbrage with "various immigration lawyers" since that's the only piece I've seen suggest 50 points.

The truth is, we simply won't know until next Tuesday.

http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=1fe7b38c-8727-457d-be05-5f49ce246a84 According to various immigration lawyers and experts. Its likely that for August minimum requirement will be 46k again. Bad prediction for those with less then 50 points There's an awful lot of posturing and "It...

Hi All, Have been put forward after this months cut off so hoping to get the COS next month, Just wondering the best way to work out how many points you will get? Thanks What do you mean just been put forward? My company has applied for the tier 2 General visa, last tuesday. Just wondering how I fi...

I think you can pop the cork, Lloyd!

Utterly cruel. A right-wing government meddling with the labour market, despite every business body/academic institute/trade association telling them it's a stupid idea. Ridiculous. Totally ridiculous. Edit: To those on the rejected list - stay strong. Be with your loved ones (give someone special a...

Really dumb question (my HR officer isn't in until tomorrow), but where can I find an up-to-date breakdown on how the points are allocated?

I'm on 45 points too. Squeaky bum time, as they say.
