December 2017 Restricted COS

[Deepakkashyap]

It should be 40+20 if they only consider RLMT and salary for CoS approval.

[yylifeintheuk]

I was informed mine RCOS approved too.

Great! Congrats..points and whether shortage occupation?

not shortage occupation, is RLMT. HR didn't inform me the points, just email and informed me it is approved

Hello, does your approval say it's approved outside monthly allocation
Can you ask your HR please

Mine point is 40 +20 i think, the CoS submit on end of november, not sure whether is outside monthly allocation.

Mine is also pending. HR had applied on 4th Dec so I believe it will be considered for 11th submission review. RLMT was also done, I hope everything is fine with my application.

@deepakkashyap do let us know when your CoS gets approved.

I believe only 25th & 26th are official holidays, which still leaves 7 days in this year... Hope 2018 will be a good one for everyone. Advanced merry xmas and a happy new year.

Restricted CoS rejected today. Hugely disappointing. It said it: "Your application has been refused, as it did not meet the minimum points score for the allocation". However, the RMLT was satisfied and I received 5 points for salary (£25,400 salary). Minimum points for previous months has been 21.
Immigration lawyers said either the Home Office made a mistake in the calculations or they've raised the points threshold this month.

Please did anyone receive a certificate this month on a similar salary?

I sadly just heard my application was also rejected for not having enough points. I would have had 20+ 29 points.
I had submitted for the December allocation.

That's disappointing, 49 points application is rejected

[Tryingforhome]

Sorry through all the crying i typed the wrong number. It should have been 19 for wages.
Our HR are confused as they also had a similar application accepted.

Rejected at 49? Thats surprising

20+19=39 is also good score, Surprising

Do you when your application was submitted early December or late November ?

[Tryingforhome]

Late November. They had a similar application approved this month which is the weird part (large NHS trust). I wonder if it didnt have enough evidemce for the RLMT.

What was the reason cited? Not enough points?

NHS Trust, so is it on Shortage Occupation list ?

But if their reasoning was insufficient number of points, wouldn't that mean that the application was viable aside from the number of points? If the number of points is an issue, then all people at at least your point level and those below would be denied.

I too had my application denied, which has been devastating. My employers have said that the Home Office did not give any reasoning with their denial and HR has written the Home Office asking for more information for why this was denied. I am a much lower scoring candidate (22 points as I am a new entrant in my field and under 26 years of age), but I am positive the application was done according to all guidelines.

I am so sorry to hear that you were denied as well, but I do feel like there has been a technical issue with the Home Office. Often we hear of denials due to incorrect RLMT, but to have 39 points leads me to believe that there was either a technical issue or the Home Office was overwhelmed with applications this month.
