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_...

Yeah but there are at 600 - 1000+* applicants who are going to apply with 45 points in May given the backlog from previous months. So therefore they need to only have around 1000-1200 people on 46 and above which will then mean enough certificates left over to also get 45 through. But in April we c...

So looks like there's been no policy change from the HO despite lots of news coverage about tier 2 problems in the past 2 weeks.

First time with 45p. Good luck to all.

What if 45's backlog is already more than 2000? Some people applying since December :D Probably the data that we have here is not far from the real population, beside the fact that we are talking about the evaluation of [45,50) bracket, whether there are 1000 or 2000 are there. It is important to k...

btw, I guess the poll sample that we have here is not representative. Rationally, applicants with high salaries are not worried so they don't come here like us. Nice work on the distribution :D Yea the poll is definitely not representative you're right. So I guess the true proportion would be less ...

Thanks for your comment. No the bonus is not guaranteed, and the contract cannot be changed without doing the market test again. So nothing can be changed from my side. Since last month minimum was 46points, or 50k salary, I have little hope that all >=46 points get their approvals, and finally our...

Cheers. Just voted.

I'm on 41 points and my RMLT just expired. I still really want to move to the UK but after applying 5 times my employer is tempted to give up on the whole thing. However I'm trying to convince them to re-run the market test and apply again in June. Do you think there is hope for 41 to go through in...

Hey everyone! I've created a quick poll to kind of get an idea of where everyone is sitting in regards to points. This could be a really useful indicator of how many people are waiting so please go and choose your bracket. http://pollmaker.vote/p/DJHLPKIM Great idea, thanks! I would just make one c...

the problem is that 45 to 49999 is one bracket - so within that bracket maximum people are waiting - so this is a puzzle no one can solve Ya am aware of that after applying 4 times now. I just said it's easy to make it 50 onve it's 47 or 49 as it may not affect the large firms that much. So if I ha...

If you have advertised for 47-49 it doesn't make that much difference to increase the salary. Even the 30% start doing that you ll have a big blockage. And there are companies like mine don't advertise the range they advertise it as 'Conpetetive salary' so they can increase the salary to the maximu...

Long time reader first time poster. Will be applying next month for COS with 45 points. Looks bad. By my calculations there will be roughly 600 people on 45 points which makes it tough for the cut-off to drop to that in May. Why 600? Well in February the cut-off was 46 despite the fact that there w...

can anyone guess how many are in the 45 range ---- 500 plus? Long time reader first time poster. Will be applying next month for COS with 45 points. Looks bad.
