Has anyone got their COS approved today

Date for UKVI COS Meeting is Feb 13th. (Per GOV.UK UKVI Website) So would suspect outcomes to occur after that date.

It is on the 11th only, it's an error on the Gov.uk website

Did anyone hear anything about their COS allocation for February 2020.

No I haven't yet. I know 2 people that got approved on 11th Feb. But so far I haven't heard anything and the status is still under review. I was asked to provide additional documents but I did that before the 11th

HI,

Rcos request was submitted on January end but HO raised query to provide more documents by 12th Feb but documents were provided on 6th feb itelf....Does HO process the application in same month itself ? since it is still showing under review....

Hello. Just wondering if there is still anyone waiting for their RCoS number? My job is in the shortage list and HO requested additional info on 30th Jan. My company submitted the document on 3rd Feb but we have not heard anything back from HO afterward and the application status still shows under review....I wonder if HO will review my application this month or will it be rolled to the next month? Any ideas? My company called HO but they simply said it is under review and if there's a problem with the document they will get in touch...so nervous...

Has your company filed first time?

Hi! I wonder if you have received your CoS number?? We submitted the required additional documents by 5th but until today it still shows under review!

Hi, after submitting the additional information how long does HO takes to respond? do they move the application to next review panel next month?

Does anyone know if HO had come back with response without having to push the application to next months panel?

Thanks

I know a person who applied for Rcos on the 4/2/2020, then had an email requesting additional information on the 07/02/2020, for which the reply was sent on the 10/02/2020.

Received approval on the 16/02/2020.

The company is mid-sized with about 40 employees.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Rooney, that really helps.

My employer has submitted my restricted CoS application around 28th - 29th of Jan and they have sent over the requested documents around 4th - 5th Feb. They have told me last week that the status of the application is still "under review" on the SMS.
When should I expect to hear back ? Is there still a chance of getting the CoS in this month or will it be next month ?

Anybody who hears back on their restricted CoS, please post the update here.
Anxiously waiting for my CoS and holding out hope for this week because the Home Office has not yet posted the stats for allocation of this month.

I don't intend to scare you, but if it is still showing ''under review'' it most probably means your employer may have a compliance visit soon if they haven't had one recently.

Oh my god! That will prolong the process too much. Couldn't it just be that there are many applications and hence there is a delay? Maybe it will get approved in March cycle ?
Are you saying this because there is some difference between "under review" and "pending" status ? Is there a significant difference ?

Waiting for MY Rcos.
Submitted the application on 28,29 Jan 2020. Still waiting, how many of them received the Rcos till now? Any one any Idea.
Even site is not updated yet,Just 3 more days left to complete the February month.
what are the chances , whether I will get the Rcos or not? will it be postponed to next month?
Suggestions please.

Look into this, it is self-explanatory
