Wow, such a weird month. No rejections yet and neither approvals. Some people are hanging around, above 41 points. Do you think all those left out got to do something with the messing up of applications ? I dont see any other reason why they have to hold on for so long.

Looks like the allocation is over and they are reviewijg applications with higer points where they need more evidence once they know the available RCOS after rejections then they might go to 41 and below but I feel the allocation is over this has been the trend from last 6-7 months.

Guys, we’re not only speculating but moving way off topic.

Let’s not assume that not getting feedback is the result of someone not doing their job and lying about it. That’s pretty unreasonable and hopefully not reflective of how those people conduct themselves.

There’s no way that we can rush the process, we simply have to be patient. The results will come in due time.

Interviewed in October, RLMT’d in November (and again this year), 39 points since December ‘17. Let’s take it easy 👍🏻

@krimurthy 41 has been cleared according to posts here. Let’s hope the 40’s go through!

Hope they will inform my employer about the refuse soon enough since it's dragging me down though all these waiting ...

For anyone interested that might not have seen this document, it explain the process HO Panel goes through to process RCoS.

HO Guidance for Staff on RCoS Allocations (click)

Again a speculation, but where additional information is requested on COS, HO will wait for 10 days before rejecting the application. The information for many on this forum was requested on 10th and their 10 day deadline finishes today, so may be we start seeing some action from tomorrow.

That's amazing! atleast there has been some communication today which sounds positive given we had silence for days. I am at 40p as well so hoping I can get some good news.

This may sound a bit weird and merely a result of absolute desperation but i think that our employers (big four) haven't applied for us because they were of the view that changes in the policy would be applicable since August and there is no way points will fall to 45. So now they are covering themselves by saying they haven't heard on our applications.
Yes absolutely, my recruiter is not replying yet and told me last week that they will hear back from HO in this week and then will update accordingly but still nothing heard :(
Contrary, I was told that they'd apply for the July 11 sitting and we'd get feedback by the 21st but nothing yet. So i'm guessing these may be genuinely pending / under review.

I was hoping for some more people to get approved at the 40 and mention it here. I really want to be excited but with everything we have all been through for months it is easy to be skeptical.
Here is to more responses tomorrow!

Same!! Hope more people get selected at 40 and post it here. Hopefully by tomorrow, people will get and post the decisions for their applications. Fingers crossed!

I am really tired of this visa situation. It won't come to end when you get it. Renewals are still nervous process, I hope I won't need NHS doctors to call my nerves.

Sorry guys. The point is 42. The employer increased the salary without notifying. Good luck to everyone.

Dude, here its seems Big4 means Big Four Accounting and Auditing firms. And the guys waiting are most probably Chartered Accountants. I am wondering that these huge firms also have to wait.....what might happen to small firms :(

Don't forget big 4 firms and other companies come to race from next month and September, you might see increases no of applications. They are waiting for points to drop. I don't think it will go beyond 250+ extra applications.
