[CR001]

Members are reminded that this topic is ONLY for AUGUST 2019 RCoS information and outcome.

DO NOT POST Any reference to your potential sponsor, you will have your forum access restricted if you do.

Please read the posts BEFORE asking about how to calculate points and also see post below with the points table first. S

DO NOT post repetitive low value posts, such "Any update anyone", "still waiting" etc. They will be removed. When members have an update, I am sure they will post one.

DO NOT post visa application process questions. Start your own topic for that if you are lucky enough to get RCoS approval.

I monitor this thread many times a day, so please be aware of the above when you post.

Hi Guys,

My company has submitted the ROCS application for myself on 05th August and HO letter came asking for more information on 07th August. They have submitted the required documents today. Has anybody else been contacted by the HO?

Also on gov.uk site, under June 2019 allocation it is written that applications scoring 41 points or more. Is it applicable for every month? Why suddenly it rises to 41 points when every month it is 21 points? Does anyone have any clue?

not sure if the right thread - but the allocation page is not updated at all for july data and august meeting schedule..
anyone any idea when the meeting happens if 11 is weekend ?

thanks

It usually happens in the afternoon and yes it could be today, it could be tomorrow. Note we don't work for HO or have in depth knowledge of their internal processes.

Great thanks a lot!

[prisingh]

the concern this time is that the below page is not updated at all..
https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ponsorship

like it was updated on 8th July and message was there that meeting will happen on 11 july..

so we are in for delays this time

[Ramagupta]

has anyone got the RCOS confirmation yet? I saw in july 2019 forum people got the COS around 11 am.

No one in the July thread posted at 11am to say they received their RCoS approval on the date of HO meeting. Most only started coming through in the mid to late afternoon or the next day.

This is written on the month of June's allocation "*Applications received from 2 June 2019 required a minimum points score of 40 to be successful"

Is this just for the month of June? Or does it mean from 2nd June onwards?

Havin gone through that thread I can very well see people below 40 points recieving their COS, so lets wait and see what is in store for this month. No point speculating. All the best.

It varies. Some get the results within a day or two, others way a week or more. The allocations website updates after a few weeks normally.

Did HO ask for more documents in your case?

Based on what I have read of previous threads,
1. Allocations are done on rolling basis and continue till 23rd or 24th of the month
2. Incase additional information was asked, there is a possibility of the process taking more time
3. Many times the sponsor takes couple of days for internal approvals before sending the email

PS: Even I am awaiting a response from my sponsor at 65 points.

Thank you so much for the information. My sponsor submitted the documents on 09th August to HO. I guess we just need to wait.

Got mine! 60 pts!
