Hi,
Many thanks for the information. I'm now a little bit confused based on what you just said. I'm assuming based on the info which you provided just now implies that there were two allocation dates for the month of April 2014.
For those applications received between 5th of March - 6th of April were already allocated on 14th April. And then the rest applied between 6th -16th April 2014 might be allocated on 17th April meeting because of the new immigration rule changes amended from 6th April 2014.
There is no such information stating 2 different allocation dates in the UK V&I website for this month. Based on my guess and the information provided in the website, there is only one allocation date (Which was 17th April 2014) for restricted CoS applications received between 5th March -16th April 2014.
Like wise UKTier2applicant, if anyone has got their Restricted CoS on 14th April, please share your information. I guess the only way you got your CoS before the allocation date for April 2014 might be because of an exceptional consideration request to UK V&I by your HR.
If anyone could throw some light clarifying this confusion both from their perspective and experience, it would be of great help for me.
Thanks indeed. Cheers..
