I got mine today - just checked in with my employer and they checked and there it was. I applied in July.

[thessalycoll]

It was for August! I had 70 points.

[gmcarrot]

I've still heard nothing. How much longer should I expect to wait?? I have 40 points and applied on the 28 or 29th of July.

Hi gmcarrot,

I saw that your application is still under review from this thread like mine. I applied on the 3rd of August but have yet to hear anything still...

[kulmai]

Mine was applied on August 4th with additional documents submitted on the 8th of August. My status still reads pending. I believe they are going point wise. and finishing up backlogs as well.

Please keep updating everyone , its such a good support to know whats going on.

Thank you

Your points perhaps demanded prior attention. No wonder yours got cleared so fast. Congratulations once again and thank you so much for responding!

Hi Kulmai,

Yes.. you are right. I've been waiting for more than 2 months. My employer had made first attempt on 3rd June 2016 but HO came back raising some concerns with RLMT and then my Employer had to do it again in July before applying again in August.

Thanks

Hi Kundan,

Can you please let us know what was the issue with the RLMT and why you had to do it again?

I believe myself and other people are having the same issue this month with our applications being under review.

Thank you!

[kulmai]

My application has gone from pending to under review overnight. The labour market test could be an issue of concern.

Anyone else who has got an approval ?

Hi Kulmai,
I am not an expert but i am just thinking your status from pending to under review means that they are looking at your application now ?

Or you are very sure that pending is a better status than under review ?

Hello Adviceme,

Honestly, all this time i was paranoid about the "pending" status and now I am paranoid about the "under review" status. As per the phrase , they should be considering my application as of now. I have certain issues with my RLMT so thats another reason to worry about apart from the delay. What does your status have to say today?

[adviceme]

Hi Guys..
Just received my COS..!

Those who are waiting. I'm sure it's on the way... Goodluck..!!

my points were 32.

Thanks
Kundan

Hello Kundan,
my assumption on the points calculation is :
1. If the RLMT is cleared : 30 points
2. If salary is above 20,800 : 20 points
3. If you clear SELT (english lang test) : 10 points

Is this right ? The more i am reading about points and rejections more nervous i am growing !!

[KyleBG89]

Hi Kulmai and Adviceme,

Please keep us updated on the status of your applications.

Mine still says under review. Applied on 3rd of August, additional documents sent in on 5th of August.

I will keep updated when I receive news from my employer.

[kulmai]

So far the same from my end. Applied on 4th sent additional documents on 8th. Will keep updating.

Hi adviceme,
this is rite plus there are 10 more point you need under "maintenance of funds" making a total of 70... but these are for Visa Application and not for approval of COS.

Point calculation for COS is different. i'm not sure if the table in the below link is applicable now or not but this should give you some context. For the last 6-7 months the COS cutoff stood at 22, that means everyone who conducted RLMT properly with correct SOC code got the COS.

Hope this answered your query.

P.S. Please note that you won't get 20 point for "Appropriate Salary" even if your salary is above 20,800/- but less than the minimum amount applicable for your job SOC mentioned in "Code of Practice"..

Hi Kyle,

I wish I could help but my Employer just told me that HO was not satisfied with the proof of document they had sent.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thanks a lot Ronin for the update, I haven't heard anything from my employer either. Has anyone else got any news from their sponsor?

[gmcarrot]

I'm really starting to panic. I haven't heard anything, and it is still under review. No documents were requested to the best of my knowledge

[KyleBG89]

I've still got no update from my employer. Will let you guys know when I've got news.

My cos request was denied despite scoring 30 points and not being contacted
