Re: I want to say no to COS before applying for Visa

I signed the paperwork initially to say that I agree to pay back fees if I was sponsored which was if I got sponsored. I haven't yet signed the contract to begin employment with them when i return to the country. They are also giving me a short term contract to work from Australia as a bridging visa...

I want to say no to COS before applying for Visa

Hi All, This wont be a popular opinion but it has sound logic. Long story short, the company i am with offered me sponsorship (was on tier 5 visa at the time) to come on board in Sept 2017. After beginning the process in May, i finally got assigned cos in August (a few days before my tier 5 expires ...

Re: August 2018 restricted COS

Re: July 2018 restricted COS

Refused at 40 due to not meeting minimum cut-off points for the month. Oh that is crap! I guess that is me also even though i havent received a from my lawyers yet. I know HR will try to claim that we are far off but i would be able to convince my employer to apply in August if there is a big chanc...

Re: July 2018 restricted COS

It sounds like they are at least giving people replies so that is positive.

Hopefully will know today either way. I have 40p so doesnt sound like i get through this month.

Re: July 2018 restricted COS

This may sound a bit weird and merely a result of absolute desperation but i think that our employers (big four) haven't applied for us because they were of the view that changes in the policy would be applicable since August and there is no way points will fall to 45. So now they are covering them...

Re: July 2018 restricted COS

I am still confused about how this works. I thought everyone until 40p would be cleared? Those on 41p+ are you just expecting news from your lawyer to say you've got the green light? I am waiting on 40p and I just had to try and convince my manager that if it doesn't work this month, it will drop be...

Re: July 2018 restricted COS

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 ...
