I’m still waiting too - although I know it will be a refusal as people here getting rejections on similar points. I assume it’s just taking time to get around the notifying all the employers.scottishindian wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 5:40 amAnyone waiting for a decision still? I am assuming HO would complete decisioning in next two days unless some queries are pending. Still awaiting update on my case
My HR scheduled a meeting today to update me - so I guess I have been refused or there will be no meetings.. 45points refused in Dec and I guess Jan too.. will apply Feb again but with a different sponsor and a different score..Noname36 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 6:13 amI’m still waiting too - although I know it will be a refusal as people here getting rejections on similar points.

Yes, I'm quite positive that HO still reviews each and every application thoroughly and requests for additional documents if necessary.

My lawyer updated me said she had 7 applicants, 5 of them approved between 50-60, and 2 of the 45 points got refused. So believe the cut off point is 50 this time, if the application is done correctly..
Pls keep us posted if you get an Approvalscottishindian wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:02 amSorry to hear about your case ! Best of luck for February !!
Thanks for the update as i can still hope for an approval at 65 points provided no issues with documentation. Hopefully, I will get to know by weekend.

Thanks. If that is the case, it's positive sign for all 'refused' applicants that their RLMT/documentation have been validated positively and they have to just wait their turn in next months when the score is above the cut-off.
Hello is your profession on the skilled shortages list or a PhD role? What is your salary? These things determine points.kristelaustria wrote: ↑Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:14 pmHi everyone,
May I know how they count the points for the COS? I am a Filipino Biomedical scientist applying from saudi arabia and just today, the COS application was refused and the HR said, they will apply again for the February Panel. Hoping and praying for the best this February.
Thanks!
Is it possible for you to find out if it was normal approval or outside monthly quota?Plabber_123 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 6:23 amFriends, I will honestly tell you sometimes the point system does not make sense (may be it is just for us doctors). My friends with a salary of 32000 in non shortage occupation posts got their CoS on the 12th itself. Few with similar salaries have also got it.
Honestly most of us junior doctors who did not get our CoS this month are planning on applying for shortage specialties (A&E etc) just to get our foot into the UK so February may also be hard. I am sorry but hopefully this will be resolved in April.
Was it your first attempt? If not, what's the result of earlier applications?
Hi! My profession is under the Occupations skilled to PhD level, SOC 2112 and they offered me around 26,600. though, Biomedical scientist is not in the shortage occupation list. I am not sure how many points I will get, given this category. Can you give me any idea about this? I have been reading some of the topics here but i am not sure about the occupations that each one have.Hopeful42 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 1:32 amHello is your profession on the skilled shortages list or a PhD role?

You guys are not the only one. I am waiting tooAvacadotoast wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 3:04 pmHey, I’m still waiting. Why is it taking so long? How many points you have? Was your request submitted before 5 Jan? And was it also submitted back in December?
Kindly refrain from posting weblinks referencing solicitor and please do not name solicitor firms when you post.Avacadotoast wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 5:23 pmweblink referencing third party solicitor removed
After reading this, I’ve called xxxxxxxxx, my solicitor told me that in case if we published such statement, and we don’t have any communiacation from authorities about outcome of application, it means it’s refused. She said that they don’t even reply sometimes. Is it true guys? So we should consider our situation as refusal?
Can anyone tell me if they received any reply today?
Hello did your employer say that you were refused due to points or another reason? Because if your job is under the skilled occupations to PhD level I believe you should have gotten 75 points + 6 for salary totalling 81 points which would have been enough points this month I think.kristelaustria wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 11:31 amHi!

This was my first attempt. My employer did not receive any information about why mine was refused so they emailed the Home Office help deck and they told us it was due to not reaching the points cut off. I see no reason why your sponsor can’t email them and confirm that your application was fine other than not enough points.tej_san wrote: ↑Fri Jan 19, 2018 9:05 amWas it your first attempt?

If anyone has noticed, there is not a single 'rejection' posted by anyone during this month! Everyone got refused. While in Oct/Nov, there were many posts of 'rejection' ! Does that mean HO is satisfied with all the 'refused' applications, but couldn't approve it just because of lower score than the cut-off?
I've been highlighting this point, but not getting clear idea.
The reason I've been asking this is that those who got 'refused' in Dec/Jan may be asked to do RLMT again if HO reviews their applications in Feb/Mar and feels so. In such situation, we are not aware for last 2-3 months whether our documentation/RLMT etc is perfect. Obviously, I, as a 'refused' applicant', don't want to hear that my RLMT was not done properly after 3-4 months. If we atleast get to know sooner, we can start doing that now. Otherwise, you will get a surprise after failed attempts for 3-4 months that what you've been doing in last 3-4 months, was not correct!
Hope all 'refused' applicants understand this before hoping for next month's reapplication!
Asking again, anyone got 'rejected' (not 'refused') this month?
Hi! What the HR said is that, my profession is not on the shortage list, and said it is hard to obtain COS since the HO will prioritize those who are in the shortage list, they did not inform the reason of refusal. Maybe, I think, a lot got refused since the quota was reached already. I am hoping that the previous application will be approved next month. May I ask if, the HO considers the ones who applies first?Hopeful42 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2018 2:31 amHello did your employer say that you were refused due to points or another reason?
