They have served me breakfast ooo... they said there is no alternative.

This happened to me too� NHS Manchester but we move. It gave me hope that it’s actually possible to move to the interview stage. Hopefully we would get an interview that will be remote

my man @dee.. thanks taking time responding to me sir.. ..

i already knew all those u.k-medical-doctor-protocols.. i was skipping all that.. and asking if i needed IELTS for skilled worker applications.. and if i needed to ALSO evaluate my documents on ECCTIS.. ?? despite getting the IELTS?


other questions , if thats ok, please,

The TUBERCULOSIS test, .. are there designated centres for that?? or could i get it from anywhere and its gonn be acceptable?

The police clearance report, could i get that from any police station & it will suffice ??

they (the company) asking for covid test too.. could i get it from anywere??. and its all good?..



please respond sir...

thank you kindly..







1. One of the two. Either IELTS or ECCTIS.

2. TB test is done in only 2 approved centres by UKVI: IOM Lagos and IOM Abuja

3. Police Clearance can only be obtained at Alagbon. The farther you are from Alagbon, the higher the amount it will cost you. Best bet is to go to Alagbon or find a sure plug to do it for you at a cheap rate.

4. Approved COVID test centres

The United Kingdom Embassy in Nigeria has announced the temporary suspension of study, work and family visa applications.

It explained this was because the priority has been placed on applications made under the Ukraine Family Scheme.

In a statement posted on the official Twitter page of the United Kingdom Embassy in Nigeria on Tuesday, the embassy announced that Ukraine Family Scheme was launched in response to the humanitarian crisis arising from the invasion of Ukraine.

“As a result, UKVI has temporarily suspended priority and super-priority services for new study, work, and family applications. Customers with standard applications in study, work, and family routes may experience some delays in the processing of their application.

“We are still currently unable to offer PV for visitor applications in Nigeria. Standard visitor visa applications are currently taking an average of six weeks to process.

“Applicants will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre (VAC) when their passport is ready for collection. They should not attend the VAC until they have been invited to do so.

“Where there are extremely compassionate or compelling circumstances (for example, a medical emergency), UKVI may consider expediting specific cases. However, the bar for this is high and will be assessed on a case-by-case basis.

“If a request is exceptionally urgent, applicants can contact UK Visas and Immigration for help. Please note that this is a chargeable service for overseas customers. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.”

There so much misinformation so let me clarify . To apply for visa there are three options

1. Super priority: Turnaround is 24hours, cost an additional £956 + skilled visa fee

2. Priority: Turnaround is 5 days an additional £220 + skilled visa fee

3. Standard application: for skilled visa it is 15 working days/ 3 weeks .. skilled visa fee only

What was suspended was no 1 and 2..... no 3 still remains . A lot of people apply using no 3 anyway so if you were not going to use a faster service then nothing changes. During covid no 1 and 2 were suspended as well. They were just introduced back in December 2021 and now back to suspension

Edited
Note this suspension is not only in Nigeria. It across every other country. That way the staff can do Visa and process Ukraine immigrants as well . UK Has been flooded with Ukraine request since Russia started its wahala

Once you get a job, you will be issued a CoS that you will use to convert your visa from Tier 4 Study Visa to Tier 2 Work visa.

Can you do this during your study or at the end of your programme

You can find info about the tuberculosis testing centres in Nigeria here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/tuberculosis-test-for-a-uk-visa-clinics-in-nigeria/tuberculosis-testing-in-nigeria

There's lots of info about skilled worker visas in here: https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa. It's the UK government website, so lots of info, but maybe not in the most readable way. Here is a good blog post that also talks about the different visa options: https://www.student.com/articles/how-to-live-and-work-in-the-uk-after-studying. The skilled worker visa is the one called "Tier 2 visa" in that post.

Someone close to me is presently doing a Band 3 certificate course and was told if they needed to be issued a band 4 certificate since the curriculum is the same the person should just take one more course at additional fees to get the Band 4 certificate instead of the band 3 certificate..

Yes, band 4 is better than 3

With band 4 course cert you can apply for band 4, 3, or lower jobs
But with band 3 course cert you can't apply for a band 4 job opening.

Thank you in anticipation

AllisonUK:


Apart from needing some alone time to collect my thoughts, after heavy interaction with grandma, I would have loved live-in, so I can also avoid house rent, but I wish to bring family over later...so I'm really not sure that Oyinbo client will give us boys quarter. I even also read that you could be doing two weeks on and two weeks off. So what will happen to kids in that two weeks, idk....cos I feel hubby will not want to stay permanently.. that's just my personal matter sha. Your case might be better. You are a guy afterall.

For domiciliary....hmnnn..sounds like a lot of trouble. Driving or however, from place to place. And for the same range of peanuts...I no fit shout abeg.

The best I feel, is care home. If I can get the types that will permit negotiation, I hope to do our regular Nigerian eight hours, after all school na free. Plus, there are others to act as witnesses, incase of any kain skoin skoin

Just being open to options though.... otherwise, I still de apply for my physiology jobs oo
