June 2018 Restricted COS

[rs_ldn]

I am waiting on 50 points too. NON-SOL and IT job. Hoping to hear some news today. But was just wondering if applicant can get to know of status via any online portal ?

[thevocalmonk]

No there isn't. Only your employer (or the legal firm managing immigration for them) can view the status of the applications in a tool called SMS (Sponorship Management System).

The meeting for the monthly allocation of Tier 2 restricted certificates of sponsorship (RCoS) was held on Monday (11 June) and once again it is likely that the quota will be over-subscribed.

So far we have heard of only one RCoS being awarded for the job with an equivalent salary of £50,000. This position received an extra amount of of points that took its total over the threshold, because the successful candidate had studied for their degree at a UK university before returning overseas. Their employer will also have complied with the Resident Labour Market Test by advertising this vacancy domestically without success.

This is completely true

I’ve been offered a role with 55k+ salary and have not received an offer letter yet.
I was told that my new employer will file for a COS in June and once it is approved, will get the formal offer letter and the steps for visa etc.
What really worries me is whether my name was filed in June list or not.
What are the probable chances for me to score points and get a confirmation if my cos was fielded in June?

Unfortunately the employer has total control over that process - To protect yourself, I wouldn't even consider a job offer is there until they have given you the Certificate of Sponsorship number for you to file your visa application

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.

if ur company satisfied the above criteria and this SOC Code is specified then you might consider in SOL

No, waiting with 55 points, non-shortage occupation

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 month’s window. Your application will be considered next month now.

[Batagin]

Too quite until now, no answers from 55´s and 50´s colleagues today

[optimist08]
