Yes if they have the RLMT ready if not they ll come in to effect from October don't forget there are employers who have squeezed hiring low paid roles and needs to conduct fresh RLMT'S for new entrants.

September I guess, not October and its when number of available CoS also reduces.

Something to keep in mind for those that are reapplying next month.... There are a lot of applications from this month that will get carried over to next month's allocation because they had submitted additional docs after the 10th deadline. This may affect the numbers for next month. The amount of ...

Hello, I have received message below a few minutes ago from my solicitor. Considering 41pts approvals in this board, I really do not get message below, do you have any idea? " I received an email from Home Office today – the request was again refused this month. All requests with salary below ...

Just minutes before I post here

Thanks, finefinally. You have just made the day for a lot many people including me.

Thanks a lot for sharing.

For anyone interested that might not have seen this document, it explain the process HO Panel goes through to process RCoS. HO Guidance for Staff on RCoS Allocations (click) Again a speculation, but where additional information is requested on COS, HO will wait for 10 days before rejecting the appl...

An interesting FOI. I had set an alert and the response just came in on this one.

All predictions and calculations welcome.

If you are on 41points or above, surely you just need to follow-up with your lawyers. If there is no issues with your application then you should be cleared. I have a feeling they've made the cut-off at 41p this month and are just reviewing those on 41 and above. Then if there is capacity left then...

The number of people now awaiting for result and active on this forum is very low, There are only handful of us active on this forum now. Myself waiting @ 40.

Hey Moderator, you yourself are Immigration Consultant. Would be useful if you would tell us if any of your clients went through with 40 points or below? or with any of your Immigration Consultant friends?

What a nice Friday surprise. Congrats to both of you :) I've still got my fingers crossed for those in the 40 points band, may you all get news that makes our weekend a little bit lighter :) There would be lot of applications on 40. June itself had 114 applications and that makes it a bit tricky fo...

Anyone with 40, 41 or 42 waiting /approved or rejected ?

I am waiting on 40. Nothing from solicitor yet.

Does someone have a list (or a link) of the number of unsuccesful applications in each band from say 30-40 from last month? I know someone posted the numbers from 41-45 earlier in the thread. It would be good to see to get an understanding of the chances for people getting through next month who ha...

Thank you for posting. It's really nice of you to make everyone aware. Good Luck. May you get your ap...

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

I have heard that t...
