June 2018 Restricted COS

[bbo]

I see a lot of anticipation for an early result and lot of dejection about the delay. Trust, everyone agrees that a delayed response means HO and ministry is trying to consider how can docs and nurses be move out of RCOS in June itself since PM said 'immediate effect' and therefore HO is holding back the decision for common good.

If we receive the outcomes early like all other months be sure that its business as usual and docs are nurses are to get RCOS for june for sure. Your chances then reduce drastically and only hope is July for 44+ and August for 30+ folks

So, hope everyone understands that delay is positive sign for folks under 55.

100% agree with you. One hundred percent.

Hi guys, Im with 44 points non-sol non NHS.

And I was informed by the HR yesterday that my RCOS status was showing “pending” under the SMS portal. I had also written to the immigration firm which is handling my tier 2 process asking about the delay. This is what I have recieved just now (extracting the relevant para from the email)

“While we are not in a position to conclusively tell you the exact reason for the delay, informal sources have indicated that the results should be out by 22nd of this month.”

W

If we can all at least know the outcome by 22nd, I already consider that as a success...

Hahahaha, Ive now reached a level where I no longer feel sad. Im just amused. Amused at how much worse it can get.

I know that state too - being stuck since December! I now feel numb to all this, because it can't get worse than what we all have been through!

I completely agree with this reasoning. Wait is seldom good, but it sure is in this case!

Indeed. All's well that ends well. Just hoping this is actually the reason of the delay. Because otherwise it makes no sense.

one possibility could be they club June and July RCOs together and give them out next month ? since the government rules are applicable from 6th July , maybe they just want to wait till the next allocation.. this is just speculation though they would have over 4000 RCOs for July this way

This is exactly what I had also said earlier. That its possible the decision might come after 6th july for a combined allocation of RCOS for the month of june and july.

The only problem is that if such a thing was taking place then it would be surely on the website or be notified to the employers. Dont know. Lets patiently wait for a few more days hopefully. We have anyway waited for so long. We should be used it.

Here's a little joke: I had thought it would be fast and easy to obtain my visa, just signing a few papers and submitting a document or two This is the first time I'm waiting to hear on a decision; I don't know how the rest of you have kept up this nail-biting wait for even longer

Best of luck to everyone, and hopefully we'll get our positive outcomes this week.

I too thought it would be easy and up to November last year, it was. I used to think that finding a sponsoring employer was the worst bit and too hard to accomplish

Anyway, it would be impractical to collapse June and July into one month and employers would have to be informed as it would effectively cause several months of delays. I’m hoping that no news is good news and that the backlog will start clearing for this month and give this 30+ applicant some hope, I am running out of time

I had thought the same. Hence i bought cricket world cup tickets as soon as my employer applied for RCoS.

Not sure if it is too ambitious - For people waiting for June allocations, I think if we all can start working for our respective UK employer before the World Cup Final, I think that is a victory for everyone...

Guys,
I think we are simply over reacting and causing unnecessary spamming. Kindly refrain from posting if you dont have info from a verified source. Its hard to scroll down so many pages and posts, only to find most of it as speculative, irrelevant and desparate.

Haha......back in December, I wanted to buy the India-England test match tickets at Lords, which is from 9–13 August. But decided to wait until I get my RCoS or visa. And looked how it turned out!

Cricket World Cup final is on 14 July 2019, which is more than an year from now. I am sure this mess would clear before that!

Hope so too although I wouldn't speak too soon

Just don't predict anything, be ready for things to come. Let's not get carried away.

[Jabba03]

Hopefully some news today, please post if you hear from your lawyers or HR about any information, as mentioned previously kindly please don't fill up this topic with general chat as it becomes hard to sift through.

Good luck all!

On 31 points and just received email notification that the application for RCOS has been refused, as it did not meet the minimum points score for the allocation of a restricted CoS in June. Fingers crossed for next month although next month i’ll have 42 points.

Sorry to hear that - hope next month goes smoothly for you - thank you for the update

[vrouge]

Hey everyone, I've been keeping up to date with these discussions but haven't posted anything yet.

Wanted to provide an update as soon as I knew as I just received a call from my employer that 44 points, Non-SOL, Non-NHS has been rejected because it didnt meet the minimum points for the month.

Fingers crossed next month we have a better chance and good luck to the rest of you.

I am not sure of the exact terminology but it didnt go through purely because it didnt meet the minimum points for the month not for any other reason.

Many thanks for the update boss. I read an article today which states that even though doctors/nurses are removed from tier 2 cap, cap will still be oversubscribed for few more months because of the backlogs of past 7 months including june.

https://theconversation.com/exemption-f ... ture-98516

I didnt understand why the new rule is applicable only in July because then again doctors/nurses will have to go through COS route this month? I am not sure about this.

I am waiting with 36 points from December and I hope to get COS by around august/september which is more realistic at this stage.

All the best to everyone in this forum

Thanks
