How long can an employer wait (maximum time) after completing an RLMT before applying for Rcos?
My prospective employer has completed RMLT but I don't want them to raise RCos yet as I want to wait to see if another preferred employer can do RLMT for me (which may start in a few days)

RLMT is valid for 6 months. YOU cannot control when the employer submits the RCoS application to be included in whichever months allocation meeting. There is only one meeting per month for RCoS.

TY for the reply!
Now that RLMT is completed can I return to my home country or is my presence required in the UK?

You can leave if you wish, or stay and wait for RCoS approval and then leave to apply.
No guarantee the RCoS will be approved though.

No, that is NOT what I said. It is YOUR choice if you choose to leave or wait for RCoS approval!!

It is up to HO to decide to approve or not. Some members have been waiting months for RCoS with new submissions by their sponsor every month.
