Employer just informed me that they have got an email for refusal of RCOS 40 points. Good luck for rest of the guys

Did they mention the reason , was it due to points not meeting the minimum pts required in month or some other error in your application like labour market test

Speaking with my immigration lawyer she expects the cutoff will be at salaries of 55k or more (i.e. 55 points with salary + residential labour market test).
I echo the same this way people at 45 and below will never get a rcos:-(

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

As far as I know the cutoff is already decided during the meeting. It's only over the course of next five days that people receive their RCoS. Please correct me if I am wrong. I think that is how its done. Since HO already knows the number of applications in each bucket ( Perhaps Cutoff for applica...

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

I think everyone needs to take a step back and relax . if you look at the December 2017 allocation in the excel worksheet on page 5 , some people were granted a RCOS even at 21 -22 points ,which was given out due to exceptional circumstances, but the cut off for this month was 56. Secondly, this gu...

I know someone who was on 45 points in April got approved on Friday. Whether her company increased her salary (45k) or not I don't know. But she definitely got approval on Friday and was asked to submit the visa application.
You mean Friday 11th May 2018 or APRIL ?

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

I've found some (somewhat) helpful info. This excel sheet was information issued from Home Office under freedom of information act - it shows how many were approved/denied in each band of points. Sadly it looks like the numbers are only going up :( https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/restricted_...

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

So under the Freedom of Information Request,a solicitor website states 2,118 application were rejected in April 2018 . I think its not much big of a backlog for Home office to clear and start reducing the PTS . Adding a link for reference ( Moderators please feel to remove it if it violates some cod...

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

Question - if your job has been advertised as a range ie £40,000-35,000 does this mean that your points can be calculated off the higher amount? Or do the points get calculated from the exact salary that an employer is actually offering a particular candidate? your points are calculated on the exac...

Re: April 2018 Restricted COS

I wonder if they cant accommodate the backlog of 45 when they have the highest allocation of cos would they ever be able to do in upcoming months. I see this as an issue to stay with more shortage occupation job taking the quota month on month

Re: April 2018 Restricted COS

I am not sure what is taking HO to send out rejections and shatter the hope once and in for all . What is the point to drag it when they don't want to do anything about it . This would literally save us days of frustration and waiting
