milk round ads are placed for graduates fresh out of college and I doubt most companies would pay 41k salary to graduates when most of us with years of experience haven't been offered such high salaries

It really depends what industry.

There are plenty of law, finance, engineering, etc graduates with starting salaries of well over 41k.

My employer says still my application is showing as PENDING is that possible, will we hear back only later, because they have updated in GOV site itself the number of COS allocated for the month of May and the cut off points, so will we get notification further whether it is approved or refused hereafter or how it works? Is there anybody like me still awaiting for the results ?

I dont want to be the bearer of bad news, but unless there is a policy change , dont see anyone below 45 going through.
I dont personally know any of you but as a well wisher Really , start looking for other countries and opportunities, dont spend your life in this constant stress, the home office and government have been aware of this situation since January and the PM herself vetoed the decision of removing the visa cap, matters have only been worse since then and the number of applicants per month have only risen.

lets face it guys the companies want us to work for them but the government thinks otherwise, sorry if I sound harsh but best of to come back to reality everyone. I spent many months on this site hoping for a miracle, following the news, writing letters to MPs in UK, signing petitions and have wasted precious months of my life . now I am trying to look for other opportunities and would recommend the same for you all with lower points
Completely right. Zero chance for 45 and below in the next few months. I have decided to go with my other offer and not bother trying for UK a second time in June. Good luck to you all, I hope you can find other opportunities too.

52 certificates have been carried over to June. Does this indicate that it will come down to at least 50 next month? Opinions requested please.

Nothing can be assumed. The only definite from the numbers released is there was at LEAST 153 applicants at 50 points as any less they would have been able to borrow up to 100 certificates from June to clear them all.

nope, they need to properly verify their Sponsorship System. As the results are announced for May, I doubt if ur application is pending - unless they applied after 5-May....in such case it will be decided post 11-june

Unless there was a query on your application to
sponsor, which might have been answered after 5 May or Sometimes, they may forward some applications to next month....This is i am guessing to bolster the fact that yours is not turned down in May
If I amy ask..How many points u score
I mean 20 for RLMT and salary?

Dear all,

Do you know if adding accomodation allowance counts on this gross salary used for the point calculation?

Many thanks

The guidance is clear on what is considered for 'gross salary'. See page 27 in the link below.

Did not understand on how it's clear that at least 153 applicants were at 50 points. Do you mind sharing your inputs ?

52 certificates was carried over to June. This means that next bucket(50 points) contains more that 52 applications since all applications for the same bucket should be either approved or denied. Also it's allowed to borrow up to 100 certificates from next month if it will allow to clear the bucket. All these means that 100+52=152 certificates were not enough to clean 50 points bucket.

My employer had tried for third time for COS in the month of May, raised the salary to 55k and above - software profession.. but still I was told the cos was rejected although it met points the monthly limit has crossed so the applications with priority like NHS only would be approved first. Is this point true ? someone clarify please.. my assumption was RLMT + Salary of 55k would fetch me 55 points or the least of 51 points and I thought it would be approved as the cut off for the month of May is 51.

I Highly doubt your application would be on hold or review since this month 52 rcos certificates were carried forward to next month . So if your application had 51 pts and was submitted prior to 5th May it should have been approved .Not sure if your applications falls with NHS who are given 1/3 quota of rcos and have to allocate from what they get .

From where did you come to know that Home Office has reserved 1/3rd of the quota for NHS?
