Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

Guys, I am on 40 points. My status changed from ‘Pending’ to ‘Under review’ just now. Does that help in our prediction of cut off points. This means that the Home Office is going to request more information from your employer regarding the CoS. In all probability, it will not be considered in this ...

To all the doctors waiting on this forum- this is a brilliant news for all of you. You should have high hopes next month. For the rest of us, pray hard eve...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

Here is the article, it's okay to post news stories: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jun/12/government-relax-immigration-rules-overseas-doctors It will help if they remove all NHS codes from the cap, not sure it will help immensely if they don't remove nurses. Fingers crossed there's still...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

I certainly feel it will help us to get COS may be in coming months. It is not clear at this stage whether they are removing nurses also from the list. If both doctors and nurses are removed things will get better surely from august. If only doctors are removed then it depends on the number of nurs...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

The link to the news- https://www.theguardian.com/society/2018/jun/12/government-relax-immigration-rules-overseas-doctors But it is still unclear that nurses and other staff will be exempted from the visa cap or not. Dont see any huge difference even if doctors are exempted from the cap. What are yo...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

But this is what is scary right, that there are some caseworkers who havent even got to 50 or 55 yet. That only means that there are numerous applications above that. Which will be sad for people waiting in the 40s. The cut off is already determined in the meeting - it's not as if going faster or s...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

Approvals don't go in any order necessarily. Likely, there are batches broken up by caseworker and it depends how quickly they can get to you. They still have to verify that every application in that band is valid. If you haven't received an approval/rejection, it only means your caseworker hasn't ...

Re: June 2018 Restricted COS

It seems likely that the CoS will be granted till 40 points this month. Factors such as approval on first day of 60 points, as well as chances of fewer applications this month. For people waiting at 30 points, don't be disheartened, if all goes well and shortage occupation list is exempted from the...
