July 2019 Restricted COS - PLS DO NOT POST VISA APP RELATED QUESTIONS HERE!!!

Members are reminded that this topic is ONLY for JULY 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.

See HO Guidance for Staff on RCoS Allocations (click) before asking questions that this guide can answer.

Hello ppl - As per the UKVI link (https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ponsorship), the allocation date for this month is July 11th.

Any idea, when does the sponsor receive the intimation at the earliest (assuming the application meets all criteria and no further documentation is requested). Also, if possible, please throw light on the logic of date by which sponsor's are informed by UKVI. Is it First-In-First-Out?

Asking this since, I have read posts for the same time for previous months, and applicants have been informed of the decision only by 3rd or 4th week of that month!

There is no FIFO or even logical basis on the HO decisions... It's totally not transparent for us... There are people who were granted on 11th, 12th, ... ,28th, 30th day of the month and even months after application... There are people waiting for decision since April or May (as me )... There were people with less points than me who were granted and I wasn't...

So, unfortunately all you can do is try not to get anxious and wait.

Good luck!

Any idea when they will start updating in SMS and send approval mails? I have seen some getting as early as 2nd half of 11th in previous months.

@ user 'Kiki1403' - is the above highlighted unclear at all?? Please do NOT post 'any update anyone....' posts in this topic.

Do the HO update via email or do we need to login to portal to check the status?

Still waiting on mine as well

CoS granted 5pm yesterday.
32 points.

Hi,

Got a mail from NHS today morning that my spouse Rcos is approved and they will send it to her anytime next week subject to health clearance.
I do not know the points they applied or whether it is SoC. She only got conditional offer letter and NHS applied for CoS on 4th.

Not sure how you can miss the link. It is the last line/link in the first post at the top of the topic, clearly stating what it is : Points Calculation - Salary (click to read)

Got my RCOS approved July 12th but the HR of my sponsor sent me email today which is July 15th.
I have 98 points. Good luck to everyone else.

My employer said already applied RCoS on 5th June. But now still is “under review”... Is it normal?? Is there anything I or my employer can do??

"Under review" is good I think. Mine is "pending" since April!!!
