Hello friends. I am a junior doctor. A few of my colleagues said they have received their CoS. As we belong to a facebook group I cannot ask them their salaries but it is usually not above 50,000. So the score till now is probably 45.

A word of caution though. In December and Jan a few NHS doctors in non shortage occupation jobs got their CoS even with a very low salary of about 30,000 but that was very few.
It sounds like the candidate who applied as non-shortage occupation with normal job position below 45 will never get the RCOS in this month :( ...

It is still very early. Usually they begin giving out CoS the day after the allocation meeting. Keep your spirits up. This may be a good month.

I wish we did Amit. Only emergency med doctors and pediatricians are on the shortage list. I am a doctor and I have been applying since December as well. It all comes down to the points if you are not shortage occupation/PhD.

I agree. It is a good sign they are allocating RCOS on first day of meeting. Sounds like they are starting to approve 45 points based on information from Plabber_123.

How long does it usually take for them to get through all application? Will they continue to send out accepted RCOS tomorrow? If so, I'm hoping tomorrows batch may be high 30's!

Are you guys thinking is it possible to get the RCOS with below 45? Mine is 39...

Given that you appear to be applying for Tier 4 student visa now having been accepted on a course starting May, why are you still posting in RCoS topics if you are no longer planning to apply for Tier 2?

That is great news. This means 43 is cutoff so far this month, looks very promising - please correct me if I am wrong?

You are correct :) Let's hope it goes much lower tomorrow so everyone gets their CoS. I will keep updating the doctor's list here as many of them give updates on our facebook group.

Hello everyone, I just got my CoS approved. I think this month is a good month. I'm on the shortage list and I got refused in November,December, and January ..I didn't post my refusal responses in those months this is because I didn't want to discourage people because shortage occupation should not experience that kind of delay. I know everyone will smile eventually. SOC is 2217.

Congrats ! I see someone got with 43.. possibly next will be between 35-42. I just concerned that I can see only NHS doctor/nurse approved.. !
