Wow that is amazing! this gives me hope as I am on 40ps. That is also a really fast response. I wasn't expecting to hear anything back until early next week.

Hopefully this is good news for all of us.
What about you ? u have 40 pts , did u got reply ?
No I haven't received any feedback as yet. I really hope i hear back as early as possible. I have to leave the country by the 23rd and the earlier I know the sooner i can book a flight home. Every extra day i know counts.

Thanks for sharing all the updates, HR is on holiday, so I won't able to get any update yet. But it seems all the result will be noticed between today and tomorrow.

Good luck

Another RCoS approved 36 pts.

20 RLMT + 16 salary. Non-NHS, Non-sol, Non-milkround

I'm an employer. Had been obsessively refreshing the SMS page all morning and an approval email just popped into my inbox.

We've been applying since December. I can't imagine what it's like waiting to be sponsored, but it's also been really tough waiting to be able to get our colleague back. I'll admit I shed a tear!

Good luck to everyone still waiting.

I’ve been waiting since December 2017.

Approved with 39 points. I’m a Civil Engineer, not in a shortage position.

I’m very happy for everybody else. It’s been a few rough months. Just keep hope and keep smiling 😊

Dear All

After a long wait since December, I have finally received confirmation that my RCOS has been approved. Pffft... What a journey this has been.

I have 37 points, non-everything. Congratulations for everyone who received their RCOS and all the very best for people who are waiting. I'm sure you'll get yours in following days.

May the force be with us all.

To Dear Moderator CR001,
My heartfelt sincere thanks for helping us through this forum. If only this forum is not there for us to express our happiness, sadness, dejection and what not, I'm sure it would have been tough for us to stick patiently for all these months. And I believe my friends here will second this opinion. Salut for maintaining the posts and monitoring every single content that's posted here. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to you and your colleagues.

Cheers!

Congrats and thank you. If only all members would stick to the rules and stop posting nonsense, low value posts such as 'anyone still waiting', it would make my life so much easier given that I do actually have a completely unrelated to immigration full time job with a long commute and a family :wink:

I think there are number of case workers and each assigned with some number of applications. And its upto them when they trigger 'Approve' button. 35 pts may get approval before 45 pts if later caseworker is lazy. So result could be random but 31 is true then surely all above 30 should be fine.

It is a bit unfair to 'assume' that a caseworker is 'lazy' given the volume that has to be processed, checks that need to be completed, additional docs requested etc and everything double checked. Link below of what is involved in processing RCoS allocations!!

Didn't exactly mean to say lazy (just got the wrong word). Should say different speed and different complexity level applications they are dealing with.
