Went to Croydon today to apply for my Tier 2 leave to remain, switching from Tier 4 student visa. Process took almost 20 mins.

Still haven't heard from HO or received any email. Quite anxious.

Anyone else in similar boat?

Hi - may I please ask how HO were able to drag your application from Nov to Dec 2017 despite being above the points cut off? I got rejected in March with 45 points so going through my partner instead who will be applying for restricted CoS in May. We’re fairly confident as he’ll have 75 points (pen...

May I know how did your employer appeal? I got to know that appeal process or administrative review is not possible for RCoS, it's only for visa applications. I have a similar situation where in I missed opportunity in October and November due to HO's mistake. We have been highlighting this by writ...

If they don't consider these 9 applicants under exceptional case, then all the 409 applicants have to be refused.

It seems £50,000 - £54,999 band has gone through. Hopefully £45,000-49,999 band should go through so that others will see great chances in May. Come on guys don't loose hope. April anyways realistically was impossible because of the backlogs and shortage etc. see it as a positive news and pray for ...

Rejected , is there a difference?

Could you check with your employer what was mentioned in the email, please? This would give us a picture for this month.

Rejected 45 points Can you please confirm if its rejected or refused ? Rejected , is there a difference? Cut off is not 45. Rejected refers to being some problem with your application. I would say if you can ask your employer the reason behind getting rejected. Yeah I also doubt it’s a cut off as i...

I'm applying for the second time, with 31 points. One thing that makes me check the RCOS threads only so often is the level of know-it-allness and negativity about this. NOBODY knows the precise cut-off until the HO releases it. Even immigration lawyers can only guess. Also for people clogging up t...

Basically just took the average number of applications approved during April-Nov as the number generally gone through. Then used that number for the months Dec-Mar, subtracted the amount of visas given out in that time which left around 2100 that wouldn’t have got through in the previous months, ad...

Hi, Does anyone know what the Minimum score for March 2018 was? I've seen some people get rejected on 55 (non-skilled). Is it safe to assume that it was 60? Thank you Hasn't been published yet. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/employer-sponsorship-restricted-certificate-allocations/alloca...

From my understanding, we should ideally be hearing something this week regarding the rule changes to the quota limit or any changes to the current system for the new allocation year (Apr 2018 - Mar 2019).

Please do share any info that you get. They might publish the stats online today.

The link below give details of recent parliament debate on this issue. https://www.theyworkforyou.com/debates/?id=2018-02-26b.533.2 Wow, this doesn't sound too positive as the Minister of Immigration keeps stating the following terms: "carefully controlled economic migration, "protecting the jobs o...

Tier 2 visa cap is hit for the fourth month in a row Date 20/03/2018 Category Business The threshold for Restricted Certificates of Sponsorship (RCoS), widely referred to as the Tier 2 visa cap, has been reached for the fourth month in a row. The Home Office has started to send out rejection emails...

@sameeraa91 - Mate, thanks for sharing. Looks like its 46 again for this month. I know nothing has been officially announced in the parliament but its obvious that this situation has come under limelight and has become very frustrating for employers and potential employees. Having said this, I'm cer...

Hi. Samee what kind of company are u working for and did u have to sign a new offer letter when u salary was raised

I thought the offer letter comes after you have secured the rCOS as well as the visa. How can you sign an offer letter before even securing the certificate?

Hi everyone! Congratulations to those whose CoS has been granted! My employer applied 3 times already, since January, but until now, it has been declined. I saw some post that says, they have been declined 5 times already. I want to ask, this coming April, there will be a new CoS allocation year 20...

Hey guys, Me and my friend got our COS today, it is same hospital and a shortage occupation, salary 42000 Hope every one gets his COS. It is my 5th time to apply, so I know how stressed every one is. My prayers to all of you. Sorry, just to clarify - your job IS under shortage occupation? If it is ...

How is possible to make 46points? Anyone can explain to me? Thanks

Applying via Milkround awards you with 30 points and a salary of 36k is 16 points, hence 46.

4. Many Tier 2 sponsors will have been caught by surprise that the Tier 2 (General) Restricted COS monthly quota has been oversubscribed since December 2017. Once shortage occupation and PhD level roles have been prioritised in the quota, the applications are primarily assessed in relation to the l...

They don’t have any more information than we do - we just figured that given it’s highly unlikely I’ll get approved in March we’re probably just wasting our time when we could be re-doing RLMT so it’s valid during the months I may have a chance in. If they manage to find a British/EU candidate from...

33 points and yep second refusal. I won’t be re-applying for March though. I thought my RLMT expired end of this month but it’s actually the end of March but my manager, HR and myself discussed the issue and we thought it would be better to just re-do RLMT now as obviously my chances of getting COS...
