I'm at 40 points and no update for me.

I also think that the Home Office wouldn't tell an employer what the cut off is for this month without publishing something first. And even if the Home Office told an employer that information, the employer would not relay that information to the candidate.

I think we should wait for official confirmation. If the news is that the minimum points required is 45 this month, I'd like to know what the next steps are for me. Will my employer reapply for me next month? Unfortunately, only our employers can tell us this information.

Please let us know what the next steps are for you guys - those who have received refusals.

Also, what are the upcoming policy changes taking effect this Fall? Thanks for sharing!

I'm at 40 myself, it seems like the cut off for this month is 45 as opposed to 50 in the previous month. If a similar shift in points continues in Aug, I'd say there may be hope for those at 40 next month and so on. Although nothing is certain, a trend is starting to develop.
I really wish the best of luck to everyone who has not received a rcos, especially graduates. It would be very unfair not to receive our work permits despite challenging application processes we have been through...

All the best! ;)

Just rang and asked my emploer but no update with them yet.
Unfortunately, I guess its not good news for applicants scoring below 45 as various news sources have confirmed cut off at 45 in July.
Good Luck to all of those reapplying in August.

I just called my HR person to contact PwC legal. She said she hasn't heard anything yet... I am at 50 points but still very nervous!

I got a reply from PWC team that they will get update from UKVI tomorrow, so as per the conversation and comments above its obvious that 45 is the cutoff.
Hopefully my employer will apply again and will get COS at 40 points.

Congrats to all who got their COS.

Cheers!!

My company has applied for the tier 2 General visa, last tuesday.

Just wondering how I find out how many points I will have? Or will my company be told that?

I completely agree. Do you predict it will be 40 next month? Please let me know if you find anything that indicates we're right. Best of luck to you x
