I had also discussed it in brief with the HR, who said that it is also possible this time that all decisions will be given after 6th july. Even for the june slot. Then she told me to contact the immigration firm directly and seek more clarity, if I want.

Are you sure , It doesn't make sense to me , if the results announced after 6th of July means , How we will reapply for July allocation . If they are delaying then defn HO will have announcement in their website for the delay. So we have to wait patiently that's the only thing we can do at this point of time.

I doubt it also - it would be quite a huge news if that is the case - remember this would also be hugely disruptive to employers should prospective employees might decide to abandon the queue

38k, non NHS, non SOL, Status: "Under Review"
Good luck - should a good sign I hope - that means there is something to be reviewed - otherwise if points aren't sufficient there wouldn't be anything for review

That can't be true. Employers like mine have certain projects in place, for which they need people to start at a certain time. If all the June applications are moved to July, it will have an impact on the start date of so many applicants.

Does anybody know if RCoS application is verified even if it falls short of cutoff points for that month. Just want to understand the Under Review case of 38k applicant. Can it be construed as an indication that the points may fall below 40 this month?

Unfortunately it can't. The moment they finalise the cut off after verifying documents in descending order of points, all unqualified candidates will receive refusal. For now any application with less than will probably show under review

A 43-pointer has already got a refusal due to points (see previous posts in this thread). Based on that, I don't think the cut can be < 43.

Not all jobs under 2136 are non shortage. Read the post a few above " by sudhanaga » Tue Jun 19, 2018 3:04 pm" here to see what is considered shortage occupation under 2136.

hi All,

I have confusion on next month(july) RCos allocation. As we are making application on or Before 5th July and new rules are implementing from 6th July.Will home office consider as application date rules are applicable or Decision date rules.

Previously i have seen some of changes having impact based on application date.

Hello everyone. I have been following this forum closely.. I am a doctor with NHS and my gross payscale is above 60k but unfortunately half of it is shown as banding(43+21).. I am assuming for this reason i ve been rejected cos consecutively since Jan despite banding being a guaranteed income.. Its rejected again this month and I am assuming its cos my HR has shown it as 43+21k again despite my best efforts... So my points will be around 43.. if not it should ve been accepted... So people around 40s should prepare for next month i suppose... I think me being a doctor my cos will be sorted out next month... Best wishes to all


it clearly says rejected, when did he confirm on refused?

BTW just to clarify - is you application was rejected or refused? There is a big difference.
[/its refused with points not reached]

Hello again guys my HR told me I dont have to reapply before 5th July and it will be considered on 12th July.. So I am assuming all NHS doctors and nurses r being diverted to that date as a seperate entry portal... So non NHS candidates can still expect some good news this month... My refusal might not be points based.. Best wishes everyone

The new rules are applicable on any decision taken after 6th july. Since the decision for all RCOS applications made till 5th july will be taken on 11th july, the new rules will be applicable.

The change to remove doctors and nurses for the RCOS panel is with IMMEDIATE EFFECT (as also stated by the PRIME MINISTER). The window till 5th july is only to accomodate doctors and nurses who already have a valid RCOS which they might have got last month. To ensure that it is not getting wasted and that they dont lose out on time, they are being allowed to apply for a tier 2 visa with thAt RCOS till 5th july.
