Congrats !!Do you get the update through email or updated in the SMS system.

11 months of waiting!!? I am bit worried because I have requested only on October 25th,2018 and my point is 35..eagerly waiting for the result.

Ahh, probably you may not be aware but from December 2017 to August 2018 the points had gone up because of possible reasons such as Brexit. The 11 months wait was because of that. In June/July (can't remember when exactly it happened), but the government intervened so that the points could be lowered. Her company had to conduct the RLMT again in Septemeber until the points went down.
You don't need to worry. If the RLMT has been done properly you would soon get the results. Now it all boils down to conducting the RLMT properly and following all guidelines carefully. If your company does that, you don't need to worry about anything!

Thank you so much.
It would be great if you can help me with answering "Did you receive update through email or updated in the SMS system"

Thank you for asking but I can't tell it with certainty. They told her verbally. From what I could make out, probably it was through the SMS system.

My company got its COS yesterday , It is under SOL 2136. The company applied it on 1 November.
As to the question about how they inform , The home office sends a mail to the concerned person (SMS admin) so contact your HR

This is how part of mail body looks like

Thank you for your application for restricted CoS. Your application meets the minimum points score for the allocation of a restricted CoS. You can now assign your restricted CoS from SMS using the 'Granted applications - create and assign restricted CoS' function.

Thank you for your reply.

May I know what was your point.

Granted, non everything!

My company applied for Oct application, HO asked more information, we sent the extra information on 26th of Oct , we got granted news on 12th of Nov.

I should be on 31 points as what I'm aware of my salary.
Just want to share this good news.
Thanks and good luck!

After this granted, I believe need a certificate number from my company and go to Visa4UK website apply visa? Am I correct? Can I do it buy myself?

For my understanding, I need to apply from my home country, I need to give all my document in home country visa centre? I register at Visa4UK website, fill up all the information they require. Book an appointment,Pay visa fees, Visit the visa application centre to handover all my documents.

However my lawyer asked for Professional Fees
As previously discussed, we charge you a fixed legal Admin fee of £600 prepare and submit your Tier 2
(General) application for entry clearance. The fee includes making representations to the Home Office,
informing you of any developments as and when they arise and submission of all necessary documentation.
>>>However all the documents are with me apart from certificate number. I do not understand how can they arise and submission of all necessary documentation.

Is this necessary to pay this Professional Fees? As I applied tier 5 visa by myself 2 years ago, I think the difference is just the certificate number from my company, not too much differences. I think I can apply this by my own.

Any advice?
