May 2018 Restricted COS

[Joel1986]

34k refused for the 4th time. Employer has revoked my conditional offer.

The UK is a joke and i will never try this again. What a waste of 6 months.

[asakya]

Got some positive feedback from my potential employer. 55 Points.
Though they didn't tell anything specific but it seems it is approved.

I will really appreciate if someone could tell me how much points do I make after Job passing RLMT, english proficiency, Salary 26K. Got rejected 2 times, but never came to know my points.
Thanks

RLMT: 20pts

Are u sure RLMT is 20? not 30?

I would suggest a quick google to help yourself instead of posting these questions on the allocation thread. But yes it's 20 and since you have 26 points I wouldn't hold any hope for any of the months ahead unfortunately.

So, up to now
- 55 points get approved (those who haven't received the news, they should receive the positive result soon).
- 41 points and below: refused (those who haven't receive the news, they should receive the unfortunate result soon)

So, below ranges are waiting for the result:
+ 42 points
+ 43 points
+ 44 points
+ 45 points
+ 50 points

Someone in Page 4, posted that his/her friend got approval with 45. Although, wasn't sure if employer increased her/his salary.

Just a question. My RCOS is submitted for a KTP (research scheme) position and my employer is a Higher institution. My salary is just 27K and this role in not a PhD or Shortage occupation role.
Also, I graduated from a UK university last December.
Does anyone know if these kind of roles get a priority for any reason? I mean, is there is a chance to be given a certificate of sponsorship outside the monthly allocation if my employer is a higher institution with a good record and the role is funded by Innovate UK ?

Would be grateful if anyone can answer

Hi all,

Just heard I was refused at 44 points - £44k salary non-shortage. Been trying since Feb - I asked my employer for this at the wrong time apparently. Been working for a UK Employer since 2013 on a Tier 2 ICT Dependant visa which expires in 5 days so will be leaving the country and potentially trying again next month after employer has re-done RLMT and might give me a promotion (with a raise). Like all of you, this has been devastating to myself, my family, my colleagues, as well as my industry since I have delivered major infrastructure projects (drinking water and power supply!) to the UK. One of my projects was recognised by the IET for making London streets safer. I'm really sorry to everyone this has unnecessarily affected especially as I see a lot of you are in country.

Thank you for the update. Better luck next time.

Got some positive feedback from my potential employer. 55 Points.
Though they didn't tell anything specific but it seems it is approved.

Hi , I had a quick question , is your employer the NHS by any chance ,
I have 45pts and my employer is the NHS and havent had any news .
kindly let me know ,
TIA

Hi all,

35 Points refused, the RLMT was first made on 27 November 2017, would it be possible to apply for June allocation?, please advise

[Aelzayaty]

45 points fingers crossed.

[star25]

Hi all,

35 Points refused, the RLMT was first made on 27 November 2017, would it be possible to apply for June allocation?, please advise

No, it will expire on May 27 so they will have to start the process again and re-advertise the role for 28 days which will mean the RLMT won’t be completed by June submissions & meeting dates.

[Krish08100]

Cos got approved. Just now, i have a news from my employer, approved with 55 pts. Hoping maximum applications get approved in this month. i know the anxiety... Good luck guys..

[Premspace]

40 points, got refusal mail.

[thisB]

refused at 30, obviously. let's keep our fingers crossed 45 gets through this month. or that the government steps up...

[MJJ]

No answer between 42 - 50 points...?

[mohancgr]

Hi,
My job comes under SOL list. Haven't heard anything till now. Should be worried?

[asakya]

Just looking at the stats on here (https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ponsorship) and it says in December 388 (!!!) RCOS were granted exceptionally outside the normal monthly process. Just goes to show that when the Home Office wants to get people through, it can do whatever it wants. This also explains the numbers in the Home Office excel sheet which was posted on this thread which showed approvals for many people in the 30 to 40 points range in Dec even though the official cut off for December was 55 points.

No still nothing...

[krimurthy]

Hi Everyone,

Keep calm most of us who are active From jan have become silent because we had hoped each n every month, we speculated things would go out way and there will be this that and everything but now we know that this can't be solved without a policy change and we had enough.

Have a backup please. Try to forget the offer for now just hope for the change and accept the reality. Look for other countries and grow in your current job.

Dear Friends, I am getting salary over 60k and thus I am having 60(40+20) points. My employer has applied for me for the second time. Last month I got refusal on same salary as they were saying that I met the required points but they have less allocated places , so they got approval for employes those who are getting higher salary than me.
This month till now I have not received any news from them and they are saying they have not any decision yet. But my friends on the same post and in the same trust & getting salary less than me and 55 points , got approval today. am confused what is happening with me . My employer is lying to me??? Or some fault with me.
Please help me and give ur valuable suggestions.

I hop this is the case. However, it is possible that this number reflects the applications submitted after the 5th of November and granted before the December allocation date. I am not an expert in this field. However, I hope the scenario you explained is the case as it will give hope to more people

Mate, many English universities like Cambridge says it's 30 for RLMT. Are the RCOS points calculated by only Salary + RLMT? Many links in google says it's calculated by RLMT + Salary + English Proficiency?? Thoughts?
