Hello Guys
I have not heard anything from my employer yet . Heard that the new band scale for NHS has been approved by the Home office and a Band 6 should get 28050 k to start with . But guys can someone tell me even though a RCOS is issued by the homeoffice with this salary wont the UKBA reject ur tier 2 application once you apply for your visa for the Uk . Please help everyone .
If you are not a shortage occupation list job, you need a minimum of £30k pa to get a tier 2 visa or if the SOC salary is higher, then the higher amount per SOC.
For new entrants salaries for each code (if your age is less than 25?) is there any specific requirement? I am not sure how this works, though!
For new entrants it is different and it is what is stated in the SOC.

@CR001 I’ve been here since December (lurked for a while)

People come and go each month. Everybody gets thanked except for you.

Thanks for everything, the advice and keeping order.

@Everybody else... 45 ‘seems’ to be good and clear, let’s keep our fingers crossed that it drops even lower this month :)

Guys,

Anyone here under SOL still waiting?
My company received an email on 10th asking for further information, they answer at the same day to HO. Nothing back until this moment 😓

Thanks
Hi

I’m in a similar situation, my company responded on 10th and I’m still waiting for the result
55 points, non sol , non nhs
Hi,

Me too! I discussed today with HR and the responsible told me in this cases is NORMAL take more time because Home Office must analized the data before sent the RCoS. Next week we shall be informed about the results, if everything is correct no worries :)

I´m waiting with 55 points non SOL!

It looks like all 3 of us are still waiting as our Employers have submitted additional documents. My application is still under review

First time posting here: no answer yet. 45k, Non SOL, Non NHS, RCOS . 4rd Attempt.

Sorry if this has already been discussed before, but what does exactly exceptional consideration mean?

Hi guys,

45 points (no benefits or allowances), non-NHL, non-SOL approved!

I was refused with 33 points since last Dec but luckily my employer agreed to raise my salary and applied with 45 points this month.

This forum has been massively helpful! This is my first time to post here but I really wanted to share the news ASAP.

Good luck to you guys all!
Congratulations buddy, and thanks for posting your results here for us!

After having an approved RCO, should there be any worry obtaining “entry clearance”? Is there a quota for that too?
No. You simply need to meet the requirements and points,

No. You simply need to meet the requirements and points,
Perhaps start your own topic and asks questions about the visa application process presuming you have an RCoS, instead of asking visa app questions in the RCoS waiting topic.

Also, please read the tier 2 guidance notes, all explained in there.

To the two accepted people on 45 points who took the time to inform us... thank you very much!

You made people’s weekend a little bit easier.

This might get my employer to apply next month... they stopped applying two months ago... 39 points no longer sounds impossible thanks :)
I am in the same boat. 37 points and need to convince my employer to try again as they stopped in May.. They are asking for substantial proof of the points number being reduced.. I know this blog is there but don't think it is best to share data from here to my employer as it is not official.. Do you have any official links which I can Google to share with my employer???

Yes, I did see these figures, but I meant just on the board who is waiting in the category.

Ashley, you're not likely to get an accurate answer just by asking.

If we take into consideration the numbers from June (as on page 1&2), without guessing the amount of new applications and people who didnt apply in July, there were 1 272 applications refused just between 60 and 45, and 1 584 between 60 and 40.

We know there were definitely 2 187 allocations available (plus potential unused apps).

I don't want to create false hope, but there is a real possibility that if 45 cleared, another band or bands could clear this month. That's what we're all hoping for!


That's the best we can do, I'm afraid.

Oh yes, and I am not looking for an accurate number. I just want to know who is here with me.
