June 2018 Restricted COS

[CR001]

45 points refusal!
Just got an email from HR confirming refusal, as it did not meet the minimum points. Have been trying since Jan. Was on 36 points earlier and then raised to 45 in April but still no luck. Had to come back to India as previous visa expired end of last month. Not sure when this wait will end and if employers will have that kind of patience.

Hopefully we get through the next month ..

Hii Guys

there are some more good news also for IT/Teaching profession. UK Govt is considering review of its shortage list and considering allowing unlimited number of IT/Teachers once they complete the review of its shortage list.

The new structure would allow an unrestricted number of non-EU professional to enter the UK in the acute shortage areas like IT, engineering and teaching.

https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/nr ... 619479.cms

Let us hope this is also effective from july.

Please do not go by this source. This is their interpretation of the government policy which was announced on 15 and don't believe anything has changed then what we know already. They are just assuming that people will get through more easily (because now with Doctors and Nurses excluded from the Tier 2 cap) this frees up those RCoS which they would have received earlier. I highly doubt the the "unrestricted" word in the article.

Yes, I completely agree with voldy1990. The newspaper has misunderstood the immigration related changes UK HO released recently.

Please check the links given.I believe this is not as same as removal of nurses and doctors and its favorable effect on other professions(40% efffect due to removal). There are lot of IT occupations under shortage list and government wants to review this and they dnt want any restrictions on those jobs. That is my understanding after analysis of all the news headlines given in the link. Hope for the best

Agreed that the news on review of shortage list is new. But statements like UK Govt is considering review of its shortage list and considering allowing unlimited number of IT/Teachers once they complete the review of its shortage list are quite misleading as you would know only highly skilled / specialised jobs make it to the shortage list and it will never apply entirely to any given profession. Thanks for sharing the news though. Cheers!

Dear Moderator & Others,

I am sorry to ask this silly question, but understanding this Appendix J & K thing fails me!
Can anyone please tell me if job code: 2423 is under shortage occupation?
Thanks.

UK has raised the minimum points requirement again for the month of June. I had 50+ points and would have made the May cut if my application would have been in on time but I just got notice that I was rejected for June applications for NOT meeting the minimum points requirement.

I have heard that the minimum points threshold will continue to be raised each month as there is considerable pressure to lessen immigration.

What was your salary and is the job in the shortage list?

Did you get rejected for having 55 points?

Sorry to hear the news, this is quite unfortunate in spite the delay. Can you please confirm what was your salary range? I am assuming it would be 55k+?

Salary was 45K non shortage
I can't remember whether or not the points were 51 or 55 but I do know my employer said we should be fine for June because we would have made the cut for May; obviously that is not the case.

mate you scared me... 45k is 45 points... I thought 50 points are doomed this month from your post... Why did your points drop?
You are not from milkround I presume?

If 45k, that should be 45 points. Do you have a PhD?

Thank you for your update. Can you please elaborate on your points? What do you mean by 50+? Did you have 50? Also who said that minimum points threshold will continue to rise? An immigration consultant? Very concerned as I'm waiting since April with 50 points...

it looks to be employer might have expected that june will be cover 45k .
if any salary increases ,they should have done RLMT with increase in salary.

With 45k salary, you have 45 points. Sorry that you didn't make it this month.
Just a little piece of advice: If you are not sure of your points and get rejected, please mention this in your post. It can create chaos and heartbreak otherwise to all others waiting for their results! Hope you will understand. Thanks.

You have 45 points.

I sent an email to employer to clarify refused or rejected . They replied refused so this means refused due to points. 45k salary . 3 attempts and they decided to withdraw my offer can i convince them to try again next month in case minimum required points dropped ? Or lose hope?

Not sure why you cant check yourself. SOC 2423 is non shortage.

I would always advice you to try to negotiate - saying the additional value you can create by working for them earlier should justify a salary increase to 50k and you would have better chances of coming through next month - the worst is them saying no - even if they say no, you wouldn't have lost anything

[kiru17]

Guys,
So we now have got confirmation from 2 , that 45 non sol,non nhs is refused for June month.
I am on the same boat, but employer havenot informed yet. I now know I'm out of June month's game now.

All the very best for those who waiting at 46+,50 & 50+ . Please keep us informed..

HR already said they are not planning to raise salary for this role!! I might convince them to apply next month. I dunno

[maticskhadka]

I think cutoff should be 46 this month as we have 50 approved already few days back. But removing doc and nurse didn't make sense here, because there are always more and more at 45+ . only hope now is if around 500-600 rcos carried to another month to clear 45 points backlog. 30+ i think not a chance. i have 30 points.

Negotiate with the business - not only HR - also look for other opportunities
