I doubt 45 points will be successful this month too

Although this looks likely given the pattern maybe let’s not worry people/ruin their hopes before more of the allocations because nobody actually knows with any certainty what will happen.

FYI - May 2018 allocations have begun. After 5 months and two failed RLMTs... I just received a call from my employer, and they received my RCoS today. Point total is 75 the cut since dec-17 has been 56 points, not sure why you didn't receive RCoS earlier They said that their RLMT was done incorrec...

When will the results start coming in..really eager to get some news

Since the cap has been repeatedly oversubscribed we rarely hear anything on the first day, and given it’s Friday I wouldn’t expect to hear much until next week.

Please look at this news today in the immigration advisors site third party immigration advisor weblink removed by moderator So this time also points will be high I hope , But anyway best of luck to everyone. The immigration lawyers don’t know any more than we do about this. Obviously we’re all exp...

You can’t apply until 3 months before your intended travel date. That means your online application where you pay your fees, put in your RCoS number, etc. So if your intended date of travel is the 1st of October you can’t apply until the 1st of July at the earliest. There’s absolutely nothing you ca...

Last shot? Or is your employer happy to redo RLMT?

Hi Murthy, I have applied my RCOS in March and its got refused.After that my employer is not interested to do it as points are very high. Is there any possibility I can appeal HO to reconsider my March application as recently New Home Secretary Sajid Javid taken charge.The reason of refuse is purel...

Hi! My situation is very complicated. I had a verbal job offer 8 months ago and my company have not yet issued a contract. They told me that for that the rlmt must be done. And promissed me to wait 2 months. Then they told me that the process took more time than needed. Now I've waited all this mon...

Hi I raised a request end of Feb to Home Office requesting information and received a response yesterday. My Question: Information Requested Please can you kindly provide the number of Tier 2 restricted certificate of sponsorship's (RCOS) issued to each SOC code for the month of February 2018 in el...

Hello everyone Any speculations on what might change with the new home secretary? What does it mean for the oversubscribed tier 2 visa quota? And any thoughts on how soon things might change? BBC News - Sajid Javid to be new home secretary after Rudd resigns http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-4394...

@Jack79.. As far as I kind NHS are not allowed to take more than 1/3 of Monthly allocated COS applications. If NHS required to apply more than 1/3 then they might go through this Lottery stystem.. Hi, this isn’t true. What the Home Office has said is that they estimate that approximately 1/3 of RCo...

Alright, I had someone in the UK publish this - can you please sign? https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/218911/sponsors/new?token=LRbftwsM5JN28DKhd3 Unfortunately it says that you have to be a UK resident to sign. Everyone please sign that's in the UK and others ask your friends, employers, e...

I had a go at it - Any thoughts? Needs to succinct but also get the point across. The below fits in to the petition website forms (just!) Remove shortage occupation codes and NHS roles from Tier 2 Visa cap --- Since December 2017, the points required to obtain a Restricted Certificate of Sponsorshi...

From what I remember the petition outlined the current general tier 2 issue well but wasn't 100% clear on what specific changes to it the writer would like to see debated.

It seemed very thorough to me so I'm not sure what could have been done to make it better.

Although from the feedback it seems it needs to be made very clear what specific action you'd like to raise.

What is your actual job title? Please note that not all roles in a SOC code are automatically classed as shortage.

@Hopeful42 - Thank you, can you provide any reference if any, so that I can substantiate my stand against the HR Hi, no I don't have any references sorry. But my employer is also an NHS Trust and they've been trying to sponsor myself and a couple of others since January and they always receive the ...

My HR said, the application has met minimum requirements but wasn’t lucky to be picked up from the lot allotted to NHS, for NHS, does it work this way. No it doesn’t work like that. NHS come from the same allocation as everyone else. It’s just if you’re a nurse or another profession on the shortage...

In early March I think it was during PM question time in parliament the MP for Cambridge told Teresa May that one of their hospitals (Addenbrooks) hadn’t been able to recruit doctors due the tier 2 visa caps. Teresa May responded that she’d been made aware of the tier 2 issue and was going to look i...

I like the petition, and if it gets through the review stage I will defiently sign and ask others I know to please do the same. I can’t see anything changing within a time period that will help any of us but I’m happy to do anything I can to help employers in the future...especially NHS ones. As a h...

Below 30 should start looking for another option. I see no chance. and Yes UK don't want US. I don’t think anyone should be telling other posters what to do. No it certainly doesn’t look good for 30 and under (it doesn’t look good for 40 and under tbh), but you need to remember that this is people’...

Out of curiosity,

I was on a tier 4 and moved to tier 5. Could I then switch to tier 2?
I'm guessing that answer is no. But just wondering is it possible.

No that's not possible. You can switch from tier 4 to tier 2 while your visa is still valid but you can't switch to anything from tier 5 YMS.

sad state but I hope the nurses pause a bit and let the people here get through for a month - they can come in any month they like so we may be better off appealing to the nurses who are coming in - they will be more caring ! I’m sorry but nursing is an extremely important profession, they shouldn’...

Hi! I recently had my Tier 5 YMS visa end. I had a job lined up as well and was going to get sponsored under the TIER 2 visa. However, with the current influx of applications for certificates of sponsorships it is unlikely I can apply through this route. Any other options? Or is my chance of being ...
