Let her package her CV then go to tracjob or NHS job portal and look for HCA jobs for overseas applicants and apply she should only apply to the ones who are ready to sponsor overseas workers

Why not apply for Masters in Nursing with preregistration? After completing this you can easily get your licence and apply for a Tier 2 visa which is a cheaper alternative than post study work visa route which is not counted towards ILR

He just kept checking the post office every other week.
UKVI emailed people about the delay,
but they didn’t email everyone. He didn’t get the email either, but he kept checking every week. Also, his wife’s own came out a week before his and their daughter’s.
So, just keep checking, but you report to UKVI in the meantime. https://www.gov.uk/biometric-residence-permits/not-arrived

Hello all.

First of all I want to say thank you to all who keep posting and providing those of us who have newly migrated or planning to with so much valuable information. This thread, especially part 1 has been a treasure trove for me and my family. God bless you all.

Secondly, I will like to contribute this important information, as my own way of helping out as well. It comes in form of a warning, Please do not send your BRP to the DVLA at this time in the name of applying for a provisional licence, if you have any intentions of travelling or using it to apply for work within at least 6 months. There are terrible delays at this time, people are having to cancel weddings, not able to visit sick parents, not being able to get a job or work etc because the DVLA is holding their BRP or passport and there is no way to contact them to send it back earlier. A quick Twitter search will show you hundreds of people who are crying out of frustration with only bots giving them standard replies. My advice is not to apply for your provisional licence yet, enter bus, train and uber and postpone your application till you don't need the BRP for at least 6 months to even a full year! Also when you do send it, pay extra to send it by special delivery signed for mail ( to and fro) so that if anything happens along the way, you have evidence it was sent to them and also that you included a signed for, self-addressed envelope to them to send it back.
I also applied and my BRP has been with them since August, I am hoping and praying they return it soon by God's grace because the matter has now become one that requires God's intervention.

So, I said I was going to update the group on how it goes irrespective of the outcome.

As advised by a few people here, we wrote to the home office requesting for an exceptional assurance. We followed the approach suggested by tobexin and Contra5 and thank God, we have just received a notification granting our request.

We were given an extra 3 months until February 2022. This should be enough.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who took out time to respond with a possible solution.

Justwise, quite unlike what I had expected, your words were soothing and encouraging. Thank you very much.

Tobexin, the fire in your words were just all that I needed to gain some confidence in the approach. Like I said, I had been advised to go the route, but I wasn't confident in the outcome. Thank you plenty for taking it up like it was your trouble.

Contra5, you made it all make sense. It went just as you had commented. Your insight was the key that broke the lock. I really appreciate you. Thank you.

Lagosismyhome, Ma'am graceful as ever. I admire your online personality and can only imagine how wonderful you must be offline.

Dupyshoo, thank you for coming through. I appreciate.

Theguyfromhr, although I couldn't lawyer up, your interest was timely. Thank you.

Now, there were others who had absolutely no solution to offer, rather than keep shut and just pass, they chose to pass scathing remarks, and conjure wild insinuations.

While the remarks are confined to the gutters where they rightfully belong, it is the insinuations that are disturbing. Because, I can't imagine how a supposed educated adult can come up with "supposed factual statements" on issues they barely have the facts about.

I assume that the right approach would be to ask questions. But no! You chose instead to bask in your self-absorbed nature of sanctimony. Now, that's a problem we have on here. People are often quick to pass negative judgements on what they do not completely understand and by that, tilt the conversation or scare others who may have challenges that requires helpful inputs.

It is all shades of wrong. Yes, I concede no one owes anyone a comment but then I expect that adults would comport themselves as adults.

To you who may have a challenge but are to scared to speak up because of these ones, ignore them. These ones claim to know it all and are quick to state their thoughts no matter how wrong or how stupid it may sound. Ignore them.

exactly, the UKVI did not email him too. My bro always went to post office weekly, and still nothing. He will go to post office tomorrow. Too bad int'l students could face an avoidable challenge due to lack of info. He also filled in his details on this link last week but no response since last Monday (a week ago). Is it advisable for him to be requesting for answers on the BRP delay from UKVI repeatedly to see if they can reply soonest?

Tobexin:
one love bro! I don’t give false information …. I hardly come on here because we have some people that believe they know it all in Uk lol…. Congratulations

dupyshoo:
Congrats!!! That should give you enough time to finish and apply for psw. Wish you all the best.

He should just report on the ukvi website and keep checking the post office. Also give them 20 days to respond after reporting online before you call UKVI and don't report online repeatedly as your previous report gets wiped out and the 20 days starts counting all over.

LadyIE:
Please is it possible to apply for a masters in Nursing without any work experience and BSC in nursing. I have MBA in Healthcare management and also going for a masters in public health

Teettyllayho:


Thank you. I just made my research on Nursing at Teesside uni and I think I'll have to prove my English proficiency. Do I need to sit for IELTS or use my WAEC result as indicated. I don't know if WAEC result can be used.

ocpaschal:
hmm, although I have only reported once at their gov.uk website, but someone earlier advised that I can send another report again on the UKVI gov website concerning BRP to ensure that they get my attention quickly.. Which one pesin go do

I had the same issue last year when I got into the UK. Infact I got my BRP after 3 months of arrival. I kept reporting online using the brp link doing it like 5 times daily and got no response. I then called UKVI (BRP unit) and was informed to report using the link just once and wait for 20days. I was told multiple reporting would amount to wiping out your previous report. Just report once and be patient. another thing you can do is to involve your MP to chase the Home Office
