I don't know if I'm posting this on the right thread but I need opinions
My wife got a NHS job in the UK, the video interview was held amid the Corona crisis, she has been sent a provisional appointment letter, she awaits CoS
My fear
What is the likelihood of withdrawal of appointment or CoS denial with relation to Corona virus pandemic?

Very unlikely provided she pass the employment checks and all references

famzynet:


On a positive side, since provisional letter was issued,it means she is top on the list anytime things return to normal and her position is needed. There are bound to be vacancies in the NHS when things settle down. Most HR are not working for now . Some work from home. I hope she accepted the offer before the covid lockdown?
On a negative side,provisional offer means the offer may be withdrawn. This rarely happens anyway except there are issues from her side.

She should keep her hope high. Many are in similar shoe like her. I believe things will continue from where she stopped soon. Just in case she has not,let her send a mail to the HR to inform them she awaits their response on the COS. The mail may not be replied now but just as evidence that she kept in touch.

flinton:

Thank you for your responses
She accepted the job and they have started the pre employment verification process

Marc0110:


I want to encourage you that I also received CoS 11 days ago, so once her references reply favourably and promptly to the HR, and she confirms the date she's willing to start the job then they will issue her the CoS. She needs to be persistent with her mails and sometimes even make phone calls to the HR. I hope she asked some pertinent questions before accepting the offer. Good luck

Warm regards to one all, Please is there any faint ideal as to when TLS Contact in Ikeja, the Visa Application Centre will commence for biometrics? I am asking now since the UK government and Lagos state government have started the gradual easing of the Covid-19 Restrictions.

Thanksvery much

I traveled to the UK for 21 days but at the point of application,I said I was gonna spend 7 days not due to some unforseen circumstance and the fact that that trip was made during my annual leave.
Would this pose a problem if I want to reapply with my kids when my visa expires?

You need to explain why you stayed 14days longer than you stated in your application form.

olawax22:
No need for any explanation, if you mistakenly give any explanation you’ll implicate yourself for nothing, so be guided.

Yes there is a need for an explanation else your application is likely to be refused.

oak202:


I think he will need the explanation when he spends like a month or more but considering he spent 21 days out of 6 months visa, there is no need for explanation .

Although i understand your point but in this case no need for explanation.

justwise:


Not everybody will do it and get away with it, given 6months visa does not mean you should stay 6months, if you have indicated certain a mount of time you want to spend in the UK and the ECO approves your visa then you are expected to stick to that period of time.

Staying longer than that without a convincing explanation is likely to affect your next visa application.

Yes there is a need for an explanation else your application is likely to be refused.

Ashirioluwa:

Explanation is not needed in this case.

Ashirioluwa:


Maybe you should read what he posted again. He stayed for 21 days not 6 months. Staying for up to 4 weeks is fine but staying for over 1 month might result to problem if you claimed employee in your application.

Ashirioluwa:

Explanation is not needed in this case.
