My company's immigration consultant and employer are also completely clueless. They keep functioning on hope which is odd for a company that works in risk management.
LOL. Well played sir. At least some humour on this forum amidst all the terrible news.

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

Did your employer suggested you an alternate for this?? . Mine has been applying for 3 months now and wont be willing to try the luck 4th time . No, they are in hurry, and they know that without increase the salary, there is no chance. I think they are not willing to increase it anyway. I trusted t...

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

The cut off was always going to be 55 when we heard of more than one person at 55 points getting their’s exceptionally outside of the monthly quota. This has happened in previous months and means that not all of the 55 band were able to fit in the normal quota but there were less than 100 so they c...

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

Refused at 45 points.

Will think if it's worth trying a second time in June as I also have another offer elsewhere. UK seems to be a 'hostile environment' right now and there's really no hope at 45 and below without a change in government policy.

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

Have you heard yet on your 45pts application No because a law company is doing my RCoS application in behalf of me. The company is hired by my sponsor, it is a very irresponsible company to say the least. They answered my emails late, so I stopped sending them emails anymore. I am waiting for the o...

I am sorry to hear that. Clearly people's lives are being thrown in turmoil by this. No matter how bad one's situation is, there is always someone on this forum who is in an even worse position. I think I am unlucky at 45 as a first time applicant but I can't even imagine those at 40 trying for man...

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

Thank you drtj2018 I think that they have prioritised NHS workers- so doctors etc. Hence some will get COS at 45 points and others will get rejection at 50 points due to Non-NHS roles. :( :( :( Is there anyone on here with 45 points and working for NHS/medical field? Please confirm if you have any ...

One of my ex colleague got it 45p 46k pay and non SOL

He told me himself
Does he have a PhD?

I really want to believe this but I will be excited when someone gets it themselves and posts on here rather than news from a third party.

Re: May 2018 Restricted COS

Cut off could never be any lower than 45 since huge backlog at 45 (600+ people) has to be cleared first. Only then in following months can below 45 get through. So 45 is the least we can hope for. And 55 has already seen approvals so definitely not higher than 55. So it is between 45 and 55 points. ...

Hi Everyone, This is my first and hopefully final attempt at a CoS. I have been followinf this board for some time now and just have a quick question. Are the applications in order by the points?

Thanks Hopeful42 and Cali1234. Both statements needed to be made. To be brutally honest, if you can’t calculate your points for this, how skilled can you be and how in demand ‘should’ your specific skill set be? This is not the thread to ask, it’s the thread to check allocations. Also, and it gets ...

But she definitely got approval on Friday and was asked to submit the visa application. You mean Friday 11th May 2018 or APRIL ? Friday 11th May 2 days ago. Appli...
