June 2018 Restricted COS

[optimist08]

It seems likely that the CoS will be granted till 40 points this month. Factors such as approval on first day of 60 points, as well as chances of fewer applications this month.

For people waiting at 30 points, don't be disheartened, if all goes well and shortage occupation list is exempted from the tier 2 visa cap by the end of june (as expected and hinted by the UK government), 30 points should sail through in July. Dont worry.

Waiting at 50 points & 51k salary (Lead software developer). Didn't heared anything from Home office.

Can anyone please tell me, after how much time can employer assign Cos if application approved by HO

I am in the same bucket with you man - hope we both can get it

You guys will surely get it at 50 points this month. Not to worry. Expect a reply today or tomorrow. Please post on the group as soon as you get to know anything. Thank you, and best of luck!

Hi,
I am on 40 points and my employer told my application is in pending status as of today .
Can I assume that my application will not be considered for this month?

Thanks

You cannot assume that in any way. Even if it is being considered for next month, it will still show "pending status".

This month could be great for people with 45 points because the RLMT platform has been changed from UJM to Find a job, so companies take time to go live with thier process I don't see approvals for points below than that am sorry to disappoint you with my assessment.

There will be some change in tier 2 visa system we need to see whether they gonna help only doctors or they help business as well, having said that even they exempt all SOL jobs still we need to wait couple of months for 45 to go through. Long wait ahead embrace yourselves. Am used to it from past 6 months.

Absolutely agree with you on the point about 45 getting through this month, but can you explain why you think even if they exempt SOL, things are not going to get better? In my humble opinion, removing SOL from visa cap will be a great great move for people waiting below 46 points who have been stuck since december.

Once CoS application is approved by the Home Office, the employer can immediately assign the CoS to someone. The employer needs to assign a CoS within 3 months of it being approved, otherwise it will lapse. Once the CoS is approved, it is immediately reflected on the Online System of the employer, following which the employer can IMMEDIATELY assign the CoS. Hope this answers your query. Dont forget to post here once you get your approval! Wishing you all the luck!

Still waiting anxiously from my employer ... Anyone knows when the meeting will be done?

Hahaha, seems like its your first time. Its my sincere request to not constantly post on this platform whenever you are feeling bouts of anxiety. This is not a forum to give mood updates to everyone involved. People have been waiting for 6 months with points as low as 30. While I understand your anxiety, please be conscious of the fact that you are in a much better position than others. You have 50 points, if not in this month , you will get though next month. Though I think you will surely get it this month. But please don't constantly increase stress levels here.

With regard to your question, even though the meeting takes place on 11th june, approvals or rejections keep coming till 19th/20th of every month. So please be patient. the Home office doesn't have robots who will immediately approve CoS after the meeting is over. You will get some news soon.

Hi, yes I am an applicant with 44 points. Haven't received approval or rejection till now. As mentioned earlier, this process takes time, it will not be until a few working days that the position will be clear. Please don't expect the CoS to be approved or rejected on the 11th ITSELF!!!!

Guys is there anyone with 30 points and still not loosing hope like me ? LOL

Hi, maticskhadka ,

I am having 32 points and is in a very similar situation to yours. My only hope is that my employer is a government body and they had given me reassurance that they will keep applying until I get the COS. But I wonder if there is any limit for applying COS ?? Hopefully, things will get better.

Thanks

Regards

My understanding is that your employer can re-apply as long as your RLMT remains valid

My employer applied for my RCoS last month for lead Software Engineer which is on Skill Shortage list. Home Office raised couple of objections and denied the application. One objection was related to work hours being too longer since my employer failed to mention there was a hour of break at lunch time in job offer which was fixed by a new job contract. Second one was an issue in my reference letter which i fixed by getting a new one from my current employer. Can i expect any new objections this month or can i breathe a sigh of relief assuming HO pointed out all the issues last month?

I am not sure of points. But as it was SOL, it must be 50+ points.

Quick question: Did you receive the certificate from the Home Office or through your employer?
