hi many people are posting they had a salary of 56k and third attempt this is not possible as the cut off was
46 in feb the salary has to be the basic salary only with no allowances
I posted that twice and it's very true and it's my third attempt.dovtor , non shortage and 56k +.doctors have got gross basic salary which HR put onto the application.and I replied to mostly the doctors so others couldn't get confused .Nd especially after a junior doc with 50k salary non shortage approved.obviously it is gross basic salary as a junior doctor can't get basic salary of 50 k.i hope u understand now .so it is better not to prove others wrong rather allay others anxieties as every one on this forum is stressed out and mostly like me are exhausted of the attempts.
Regards

Hey guys, I've been lurking here for the past couple of days. Thought of sharing that my application has been rejected. 35 points, non-shortage occupation. Company has been applying since December, so 4th rejection. I wanted to say that it's quite amazing that the minimum required points were 21 from April 2016 to November 2017. We shall see how long it goes. Not too hopeful, though :D

Hopefully all the approvals and refusals will be given out by the end of the week.

This might be wishful thinking but I’m hoping the delay in giving out the refusals this month was because they wanted to take a closer look at the number/type of applications they had before refusing them right away so they can find the best way of clearing them in the new financial year.

That or it just took longer to work out the cut off because they can’t carry any over this month.

Hi Guy's,

I know we are all in the same boat, I have been trying since the december round with no luck with only 45 points. this month my employer has upped my salary to £50,000 but I am getting worried it wont be enough this month with 50 point's.

any predictions on the minimum point score for March???

45 should be fine in april as there will be many RCOS. I will be surprised and disappointed if 45 doesn't get through.
