Me? Or duchess? I don’t know anything about home office jobs oh
It's not about the home office jobs. I realised you only just moved recently to the UK, was hoping I could get some job hunting pointers from you. I'm hoping to hit the ground running as regards student jobs haha

@semmyk

This is a shout-out to you again. Without your help, I'm not sure this would have been possible.

My family graduate visa was approved by the home office today. This couldn't have been possible without your help when all hope was lost.

Even when the care home I have been working with for a year as a relief worker disappointed me and said they could not give me COS.

Well, this same company is ready to offer me COS now that they know I had applied for a graduate visa. (gist for another day}

Just to input this,this goes out to large families applying for a graduate visa like mine (family of 5); it cost us £10,350.

Visa fees: £822, IHS for 2 years: £1,248 .

Please do everything possible to look for that money. If you apply with your partner without the children, your application will be put on hold until you send in the children's application.

I wish everyone all the best.

Your case is very touching.

Did your wife switch to tier 2 after your course completion date as stated on your CAS?

Please, check your course end date on your CAS and confirm you all attempted to switch to tier 2 after the date.

Dear people of God ,

Please,I need your input on how to contact the Home Office for an application within the UK on my situation.

My family and I applied to switch to a Tier 2 visa since August. My wife, who is the main applicant, got her visa early in October, while i and the children's visas are still not yet out. This is the 11th week of these applications. i am really worried because our Tier 4 had already expired in late October.

I have successfully completed my MSc, and i am supposed to start working full time now, but this delay is not helping as most of the work i demanding my share code.

I have called the HO, they only told me to send mail to the complaint, which I did two weeks ago. Still no feedback yet. This is really frustrating; what else can i do to address this? Has anyone experienced this before? I need the best advice, please. I am tired of checking my email.

Yes, we applied to switch to a Tier 2 visa after the course completion date on my CAS. I contacted my university visa advice office and was told my studentship has no connection with my spouse-dependent visa application and that the home office has already been informed that I have completed my program. I know someone with a similar issue; I believe it is a backlog issue. I want to wait until Friday; if nothing happens, I will contact my MP as someone suggested here.

Oh okay.

- My advice from what worked for me is to not cross out a job because you seemingly don’t have the experience required for it. Instead, talk about how the experiences you have, from whatever prior field you worked in, can be transferred to the job you’re applying to. Any experience, even down to your NYSC experience! (You’ll usually get the chance to do this in a cover letter, that’s why I always attach a cover letter even when it’s optional. It’s my chance to put my best foot forward). This was how I got the customer support role that stated clearly that they wanted prior experience.

- Talk about why those experiences make you the best fit for the job. Even if they’re experiences you didn’t get in a formal job setting. (This is useful for when you clinch an interview or for jobs that ask non-generic application questions).

For instance, for one of the TA roles I got, it was in a Special Needs school, when they specifically asked if I had any experience working with autistic people, I told them while I don’t have formal in-job experience, I’ll like to cite an example from when I lived with my aunt and cared for my autistic nephew. (True story)

- For the one I stuck with, I positioned my NYSC experience (I was posted to a uni for nysc) as demonstrable experience of working with not just young people, but people even older than me. So I know how to balance different learning styles with the diverse learning needs of a class with diverse age groups.


- Long story short, don’t just talk abstractly, tie in real-life examples of what you did, how you did it and the outcome you got, to whatever you’re being asked.

Wow. I love how you took your time to highlight these points. Thanks so much

Hello all,

I moved to UK with my family and its been over a month now, my employer said I will undergo a 2 months training, I want to ask and know if I can start doing extra 20hours in another care home or I should wait for my employer, I don't know if it will be a problem when applying for ILR.

My employer have nothing for me for over 3 months. I have been doing the 20 hours for over a month now.

But what kind of training will take 2 months?? They keep coming up with different time wasting strategies when they know they do not have jobs to offer.

I can understand how you feel about the delay (it happens at times). I think on a norms, the turn around time for in-country tier 2 visa applications take about 8 weeks since you already complained, you need to give them 20 working days to respond. I am sure they will respond, don't be tempted to complain again as every new complain wipes out the initial one and the 20 working days start counting again.

EO is the grade. Like NHS has bands ...4,5,6..., etc, the civil service has AO, EO, SEO etc.

Within and among specific government departments, roles might be called different things even though they're on the same band.

So, yes, the DWP Job Coach roles are EO grade roles, but there might be other EOs within the DWP doing roles other than Job Coach.

Also, the policies regarding sponsorship are likely applicable to specific roles, not their banding per se. Just like the NHS might sponsor a band 3 healthcare assistant but not a band 3 secretary, the DWP and other departments may sponsor EO cybersecurity analysts but not Job Coaches. There's really no way to know unless you ask directly before or during the recruitment process, or you hear from someone with direct knowledge, like a previous applicant.
Oh I see. This did quite some justice.
Thank you

Not quite, the (not very detailed) guidelines that have been released state "eligible" working parents, so there will likely still be some restrictions such as a minimum number of working hours and possibly residency status.

The case is a very touching one indeed. I pray God gives them the strength to endure it.

But normally, all things being equal, in-country switch takes around 2 weeks sha, even though the website says within 8 weeks. I got mine two days ago.

It will definitely be sorted very soon.

HMRC DONT SPONSOR VISA. I can tell you that 100% even though they have the licence. I don’t know about DWP

Funny how you’ll just jump on a post denying someone else lived experience.

HMRC definitely sponsors visa provided your role is on shortage list”

I’m saying this with evidence.

There's no way to prove that she was deceiving him for over two years. She'd just say she loved him and then fell out of love and there's no way your friend can establish otherwise. The home office will not get into relationship he said she said unless there's manifest proof of fraud or other illegality. I don't think an MP will get involved in a domestic dispute like this either.

The only way forward is to initiate a divorce. If she's still on that dependant visa, it'll affect her. If she has shifted to another one, it won't.

Your friend needs to focus on untying himself from her, and be less preoccupied with revenge.

E don happen, e don happen. Way forward lo ku.

Only God knows how this ended... Alot of interesting stories on previous pages here mehn. I'm dedicating 2 hours daily to read previous pages now 😂

Plenty gbas gbos don happen for back sha...

The other story where the wife stopped paying bills focused on "15m"...
