Hello guys,
I am still waiting for reply from HO about Restricted COS for this month, however I am sure the points will again be very high like previous months. Have applied in Dec, Jan, Feb and now March with 33k salary.
Can anyone tell me 33k salary, non shortage would be equivalent to how many points?

Are there any hopes in April for 33k salary? My employer is refusing to increase my salary.

Thanks.

33k salary should be 33 pts. Can't really determine what will happen in April. But I'm in a similar situation as you with 31k and I'm not holding out for April. They've got to have a massive backlog now. Still crossing my fingers though!!

They are usually 'under review' until they are either approved or rejected. Since we started applying this is the longest it's taken to get a response (Dec, Jan, Feb, and now March - 30 Points, non-shortage) Not sure what it means, if anything.

Did a skim through, so far we have:

Two shortage occupations with 45k salary approved
salary of 51k approved
salary of 44.5k refused
applications of 50pts, 75 pts, 65pts approved


They would need to post numbers by tomorrow if they are going to match last months feedback timeline. I feel like this is super slow!! Keeping my fingers crossed for everyone.

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... 2.0ext.pdf

page- 13-21 it tells about status . It says if they are unsure about the information provided by the sponsor the will discuss with line manager and begin process use of ADhoc and will change status to under review.

Another junior doctor approved today. 50k salary non shortage occupation. Few others approved but all shortage. Seems like the home office is getting back to business.

Also the refusal from last week at 44.5k was non shortage.
