Hi there,ashleyransoo wrote:hello,
P_King.
Congrats! first of all.
I believe you are going to apply for entry clearance in that case.
Also, can I ask, whether you were asked for Labour Market Test details, reason for which your COS application has now been successful?
Many thanks,
Ashley.
I can't understand why my employer was not contacted and asked for RLMT details. We had submitted request in October for Nov 1st panel so the form was the old one before the RLMT details were required. I tried chasing up my employer to see if we needed to submit on the new form and when he finanly did at the last minute he was told by someone at the UKBA that it would not be neccessary! Which really surprised me as it clearly stated in the new guidance notes that details of the RLMT would be required for the request to be considered. Needless to say I don't think my sponsor has been allocated a COS as I am sure the SMS would have been updated by now and he would have let me know.P_King wrote:Hi there,ashleyransoo wrote:hello,

Thanks for ur wishes. Yes I will soon apply for my visa from my home country. UKBA contacted my employer for the Resident Labour Market Test details before 12th Nov panel, and luckily we had also done the test to be on a safer side. I am not sure if my application was successful because of that, but could be the reason. I hope this helps.
Kind Regards!
Hello bluecp, not sure if you heard anything about your cos yet.bluecup wrote:HI, I'm also still waiting! Have not heard anything either.
But from the feedback from other posters, it seems the cut off point was £32k. Presumably anyone under it, was not successful.
Information for you:pavan_thampi wrote:Hello Guys,
Hope some of you might know me. I just wanted to update my situation. My visa expired on 07th and I had to leave the UK, At the moment I am in India waiting for my cos application request. They should have done an urgent decision on my case when they postponed panel meeting to 12th, which they didn't do on time. My employer is contacting Immigration authorities every day and they are unable to track the application status. Whole system has gone out of control.
Thanks Guys..
please update ..
This policy guidance was release after 5th Nov and it is on the Addendum of Tier 2/5. and it states these new changes with new rankings on salary bases which on the November panel gone down to 32k which is rank C.ashleyransoo wrote:I got response from UKBA:
"This month the panel awarded additional allocations of CoS to sponsors with posts meeting the following criteria:
• New shortage occupation posts with salaries above £20,000 per annum and
• New non-shortage occupation posts with salaries above £32,000 per annum."
Nowhere in policy guidance was mentioned that for non-shortage they will consider £32k as cut off point this month. Nobody knows what will be the cut-off point next months and further. If employers knew then they wouldn't have submitted stupidly with salary less than 32k. UKBA is not playing fair.
I have now run out of stay, and FLR rejected, will have to leave as I see no chance of winning an appeal with their rubbish rules.
Good luck to you guys!
