Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

Guys please avoid posting any speculations. Lets limit posts to acceptances or refusals that you know for sure. Some of us like reading the speculations, actually. That's a speculation in itself :) No, isn't :) I'm super nervous about this, and I love that this thread presents the thoughts, specula...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

The only problem is that if such a thing was taking place then it would be surely on the website or be notified to the employers. Dont know. Lets patiently wait for a few more days hopefully. We have anyway waited for so long. We should be used it. :D

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

one possibility could be they club June and July RCOs together and give them out next month ? since the government rules are applicable from 6th July , maybe they just want to wait till the next allocation.. this is just speculation though they would have over 4000 RCOs for July this way This is ex...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

I see a lot of anticipation for an early result and lot of dejection about the delay. Trust, everyone agrees that a delayed response means HO and ministry is trying to consider how can docs and nurses be move out of RCOS in June itself since PM said 'immediate effect' and therefore HO is holding ba...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

Definitely this is unprecedented, but the key here is to be patient I think.

The firm could not answer my question with regard to whether doctors and nurses have been exempted from this month itself.

Lets wait.

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

I called the UKVI helpline number to check if they have any update on the reason for the delay. They put me on hold for a few minutes, and came back to tell me that there's nothing on their website. Apparently, they are there to only explain information on the gov.uk website. A waste of internation...

Hi,

If Doctors and Nurses are off RCOS cap from July we will all get through in August. I have done this analysis but i cannot paste my excel workings here as this forum doesnt support html or images. In fact August will have 600 vacancies.
Woohoo! Thanks mate!

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

If they have exempted doctors/nurses from this month itself then it will be really great for the people with 40 odd points next month then the rest of 30+ in August hope our speculation is true. Yes 40+ definitely sailing through this month if our analysis is correct. Praying for the best. Fingers ...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

If there is anyone on this forum who has been granted a RCOS this month and falls under the category doctor code 2211 or nurse code 2231, please let us know. Because then it will contradict my analysis.

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

It is also important to point out here that not all doctors and nurses are exempted from the cap, only doctors code 2211 and nurses code 2231 has been exempted. So please be mindful of the fact that only these categories of doctors and nurses will be exempted.

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

And if you think about it logically, a RCOS is valid till 3 months, if doctors are given a RCOS this month, for which they can apply only till 5th july, does it make any sense?

When the window for their applications only have changed, why will they still keep issuing them a RCOS?

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

The change to remove doctors and nurses for the RCOS panel is with IMMEDIATE EFFECT (as also stated by the PRIME MINISTER). The window till 5th july is only to accomodate doctors and nurses who already have a valid RCOS which they might have got last month. To ensure that it is not getting wasted an...

A 43-pointer has already got a refusal due to points (see previous posts in this thread). Based on that, I don't think the cut can be < 43.

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

I had also discussed it in brief with the HR, who said that it is also possible this time that all decisions will be given after 6th july. Even for the june slot. Then she told me to contact the immigration firm directly and seek more clarity, if I want.
