Hi to everyone waiting for their December RCoS Allocation!

I've just had confirmation from my employer that they have awarded my RCoS today!!

Was a shortage occupation role. Good luck to everyone waiting and hope you get feedback soon!

Has anyone got allocated this month? I am waiting for my cos from october. Every next day of allocations home office asking further information. Hoping to hear good news this month.

Hi All, I have been informed by my immigration consultant/employer on 11th Dec'19 that they have received approval on my RCoS application. The application was submitted on 5th Dec'19. The application was not under "shortage occupation" list. Best of luck for all the other applicants.

Hi all
Still there is no response from home office regarding my cos. Already under shortage occupation list. Can someone guide me what is the issues regarding this month allocations.? Has anyone still waiting for cos?

Hi,

The following is on behalf of my friend who is also applying for Tier 2.

Unfortunately, our restricted cos was rejected yesterday with the following reason:

You have provided evidence of conducting a resident labour market test. However, no screen shot dates were stated on either Find a Job or reeds. Additionally, the screen shots provided were unable to be displayed in a readable font size.

We are therefore not satisfied that the evidence provided demonstrates that the resident labour market test has been conducted in line with Paragraph 28.19 of the Tier 2 & 5 Guidance for Sponsors and Appendix D Part 2(d) and 2(e) of the Sponsor Guidance

I don’t understand the above. As any find a job advert clearly states ‘posting date’ and the ‘closing date’ – when HO rejected saying no screenshot dates provided - do they mean ‘posting date’? because this is always there in any find a job advert.

Also, can anybody shed some light what exactly HO means with readable font size because the company HR provided clear screenshots.

Would appreciate any assistance.

I am waiting for the COS allocation update. Looks like restricted COS portal has updated the accepted application details, but my company didnot recieve any update regarding COS.
Does this mean anything? Is there a chance to receive update later aswell? Application comes under shortage occupation list?

Hi Everyone,

I have been informed by my employer that my RCoS is approved/successful but my employer has not shared the URN yet and has said that the same is in draft stage.
How much time it takes to assign the same ?

Thank you
