February 2018 Restricted COS

[krimurthy]

So HO is the ring master with bag of tricks so far don't know whats coming. Crazy.

[mschase]

Today and tomorrow we'll have a better picture of the situation so please do comment once you have an update. I was hoping Feb to have a more predictable outcome with a visible drop in points cut-off but the situation seems similar to that of December.

Guys... COS of my wife just got approved. 'Strangely' the approval says “exceptionally outside of the monthly allocation process”!! 52k+ salary, Software Engineer. Not under shortage skills. Applied for the first time. Seems HO is doing pick and choose! Best of luck to others.

Hi Aman 52k+ means she must be having 50 points? I am also in 50 points boat, keeping my fingers crossed

Hi Guys, I just got a confirmation from my agency that mine is rejected for Feb'18. I have a score of 44.
This is the third time my application is getting rejected. So frustrating!

Hi Amanlamba1,
Could you ask her whether her company applied for Exceptional Consideration SMS for her case?

[vakula]

Rejected or Refused? What is the reason? HO is prrovided? I am having 40 points, so my COS will also be refused then... frustrated..

Oh wow - doesn’t look like the score will be going down much at all then. They must either have a lot of applications on the skilled shortage list or the backlog at 45 points is massive. Probably both.

This is terrible. I didn’t think I’d get mine this month (low thirties) but I was hoping it would at least drop and others would get through.

[shannnnco]

Anyone else at 50k+, non shortage, whose waiting for their CoS?

I would have to assume it was due to points considering thustha had applied in the two previous months too (any application errors would have been ironed out by now).

Not sure mate. HR is not that friendly. They don't reveal or interact much. Thanks.

Salary between 52 to 53k with RMLT comes out to be 48 points to my knowledge.

I’ve just been ‘refused’ with a score of 34. Also third time in a row.

[balu04vn]

hi ,

how is it possible that someone with 43 was accepted and a 44 was rejected . I doubt this is true

I did not see any one 43 selected.Can you please refer where it is posted?

[Hopeful42]

hi ,

I think the 43 was a doctor, and we know last month a couple of doctors were accepted at 30 points so they might be making a couple of exceptions there again...either that or some points haven’t been calculated correctly...

Anyone else at 50k+, non shortage, whose waiting for their CoS?
