I am waiting still for my RCOS. I guess it was applied on 10th Nov and it is RLMT based one (not qualified for shortage occupation)
I hope still none of them who belongs to this category got it this month? if otherwise - please let me know, so I can chase my sponsor
My Application status is under review.. and my case is also RLMT based. If you got any update please let us know i can then chase my HR.

The allocation meeting was likely only today. Can we not have this topic, yet again, turn into a 'any update anyone' like the November one please.
Hi,

Apologies for chasing regularly on the Nov 2017 RCOS forum, the experience is frustrating - for both the employer and applicant, so I am sure you understand.

Would you be able to advise on what applicants, like myself from the Nov slot, could do now in order to receive an approval? The status is still "under-review" from what I understand. Should my employer opt for immediete rCOS request, despite a pending application? Contacting HO via emails / phone has resulted no luck.

Thanks.

Hi Guys,

My employer stated that they applied for my RCOS sometime before 5th Dec., they claim that they are not sure of the status and they need to write to HO regarding the same.
I see here that some members from the December allocation have already got the RCOS's. The question I want to ask is as follows:

[*] Are RCOS allocated based on first come first server (on basis of the date of application)

Given that my job is on the shortage occupancy list, what are my chances of getting an RCOS provided that it will score at least 130 Points?

My earlier application was refused because I took the wrong IELTS, hence the employer has applied for a new RCOS

Sorry for posting on the wrong topic.

Any advice regarding the same will be helpful :)

From what I understand, the Home Office works according to the amount of points you've earned, thus higher points = quicker assessment of the RCOS application. For someone like me (22 points - new entrant, under 26), I will be one of the last people assessed. If the RCOS application is a simple one, then yes those people with the highest amount of points would hear soonest. The delay can be for a number of reasons, including if the Home Office needs further documentation.

Hi all,
Did anyone get a rejection? If so, what was the reason?
I confirm that the HO had a technical issue and only started reviewing applications on the 13th. That's what my lawyers said. My application is "under review" since Thursday. Before that, it was "pending".
Really hope they get back to us soon! :(

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.
