[shide44]

It sounds like they are at least giving people replies so that is positive.

Hopefully will know today either way. I have 40p so doesnt sound like i get through this month.

Has anyone with 40 recieved there rejection yet?

Hi

I’ve followed this blog since December and I am still waiting 46pts milk round Graduate. I have my applied 5times and it has never taken this long to get a response, but fingers crossed it all works out and we hear from HO shortly- status is still under review.

Has anyone with 40 recieved there rejection yet?

Not as far as we know. 40 is still undeclared and shouldn't just be accepted as an automatic refusal. Let's hope the 150 or so people in 40 could be helped

Each band we go down is closer to someone else's bracket.

At the moment it's between 37 and 41? Let's hope!

Hello,

I have received message below a few minutes ago from my solicitor. Considering 41pts approvals in this board, I really do not get message below, do you have any idea?

"I received an email from Home Office today – the request was again refused this month.

All requests with salary below GBP50 000 per annum were refused this month.

The Home Office again allocated the 2000 certificates firstly to shortage occupations and then allocated the certificates in order from highest salary. Only applicants with salary above GBP50,000 were successful this month.

Kind of seems like they're just using an email that they have been sending previously? We know the points are lower.

Yeah, seems like the solicitor created a template. He must be used to sending same email every month to every other candidate.

I was refused with 37 points (not enough points) not rejected.

[tulsi]

Refused CoS , this month i think minimum points is 45 to get this month.

42 points has already been approved.

Response from my employer: "The Home Office advised us to remove our applications as we had to redo the job ads on the websites. We did this but this also removed our existing certificates so we had to apply for a new allocation."

This is because my RLMT was expired but does this response makes any sense to anyone.

[batman1909]

Refused at 40 due to not meeting minimum cut-off points for the month.

Guys... we KNOW that 37 was refused - anything below will automatically be refused. And we KNOW that 41 was approved - anything above will be approved if the application was correct.

We're waiting and hoping that the ranges in-between, starting at 40 and even hopefully moving lower gets cleared or have information about refusals. Obviously only having 40, 39 and 38 potentially available.

Refused at 40 due to not meeting minimum cut-off points for the month.

EDIT: Thanks Batman! Now we know that 41 was the last clearance. Thanks for letting us know, and sorry . Next month!

Could someone please comment on this.

[Hopeful_256]

Hey Guys, my RCOS approved, 45 points, non-shortage occupation, non PHD, non milk round. Thanks for all the support and good luck to all waiting. Praying the coming months are much lower.

[Sachu]

Just got a call from my employer.. 33 points refused again..
waiting since December 2017!
even though this refusal was expected, it's a bit disappointing Hopeful about August.
See you all next month. Best wishes to all.

Oh that is crap! I guess that is me also even though i havent received a from my lawyers yet. I know HR will try to claim that we are far off but i would be able to convince my employer to apply in August if there is a big chance it will reach 40. It came down alot this month which was helpful but this is probably the end for me. I have 22 days before my tier 5 expires and I have to make the decision to leave or try again in August but need to move out and head home.

I really think it'd be crazy for them not to try again. But just a heads up this life of limbo thing is not fun, so you may want to think about what's best for your future.

Not sure if this is something you would know but, does it cost the employer to resubmit the application for another month or is it the same cost as the initial application. I could see why they would reject it if it costs them ££ every month they apply but if it doesnt then I could at least make the argument that it would be a waste of money and time for them to have tried for 2 months and give up when its more realistic to get through.

so my question is, is it costing your employer money for resubmitting and application that was refused because it didnt make the points cut-off?

There is no cost if the CoS is refused. Approved CoS will have some fees to be allocated to the new recruit.

[thisB]

No, it doesn't cost anything to keep reapplying for rCOS

[civeng2017]

No, it doesn't cost anything to keep reapplying for rCOS

There may however be costs involved if your employer uses a specialist consultant to deal with your application as a whole (visa included).

And there will definitely be a cost to cover the salaries of the HR department dealing with your application.

It might not seem to be much but just as we lose hope from time to time, businesses may rightfully see it as a fruitless expenditure.

[hpr0716]

Would it be possible to drop down to 30 pts next month? Really anxious here as my current visa expires at the beginning of Sep....
