lol I'm in the same boat. I'm extra tense because I've already given notice at work and if the CoS doesnt come through I'll be unemployed while waiting for a visa next month. Hope they remembered to apply and with the right RLMT etc

Did they mention any specific issue like RLMT not clear or any doubt with wages?

Is the sponsor an umbrella company by any chance (contracting to other companies?)

I think I am in the same boat as you. That's why the lawyer is not giving any update

Guys I want to ask something which I am not clear. My employer got the COS allocation and they are going to issue COS to me next week.

I have seen in few post where people have mentioned to apply with correct RLMT as far as I am aware when you request for allocation you need to mention anything about salary

In my scenario my salary got increased in January to meet extension requirements but they informed home office yesterday only through SMS .

Now before issuing a COS do they need to do any other formality also how can they update RLMT if anyone knows

Please reply

Thanks

Hi Sanjeevan, please create a separate thread to get a quicker response. Most of the participants in this thread are applying for a restricted CoS from outside the country and wouldn't be familiar with the process of unrestricted cos procedures which are different

Hi ruby

I got an update from my HR saying my RCoS has been granted and the immigration team will get in touch with me. I'm still awaiting the confirmation from the immigration team though!

I've a UK masters degree

Hi all,

Very valuable page, I am also in a similar position but within the UK as I got made redundant at my previous position. My rcos has been approved and however uptil now the company did everything but moving on I have to apply myself once I have been given the rcos number.

Fairly new to this so can someone guide if the biggest hurdle is over? Does getting a rcos approved mean a guaranteed Tier 2 visa? (If application satisfies funds & english requirement).

Any feedback is appreciated as I am not doing it through a lawyer.

Hi kamal,

In a way, getting the rcos means a visa is guaranteed provided all other docs are in order. At least I've not heard about anyone who has got his visa rejected after getting the rcos

Great, that means avoiding one big headache of dealing with NARIC.

I called them the other day and they kept me on hold for 10 minutes. total cost of the phone call : 310 rupees

Hi ruby

Hi A.Mitra,

Thanks and I am glad. Does getting a RCOS mean that UKBA is happy with the salary, company, and RLMT and would only concentrate on the other particulars when filing for visa ?

Anything else I should clarify with the company before I submit the application once they have given me the rcos? (since I am not in day to day contact with them). I am planning on same day decision. (premium service). Thanks

An rcos is granted when the rlmt has passed, your company has a valid sponsor licence and that your salary satisfied the min points required for the rcos to be granted for that month. So if your rcos has been granted then it means all your queries have been satisfied. So be rest assured.

Thanks A.Mitra, that is assuring. I have a last question for which I have made a new topic so I dont drive this thread to my personal issue. Kindly reply there, here is the link.

Hey a.mitra,

NARIC is an agency which assesses foreign educational qualifications and asseses their comparability to British degrees as well as confirms whether they were taught in English. As of last week, they have also introduced a new test called Visa and NAtionality which will replace the PBS system of proving english competency. This new test costs GBP 125.

I'm based out of Chennai. How about you? Are you trying for a start date in April itself?
