What year did you used the student copy? Was it allowed then?

This was in 2021

Cutiemart:

hello, pls I want to apply for this English proficiency stuff from Ecctis, I have a copy of my bsc student transcript from my school but it has student copy water marked all over it. Pls is this how yours looks? I just want to be double sure, thank you.

Yes, I used a student copy without issues. It also had Student Copy water marked across the transcript.

It’s $13mil net to johny

Edited

Actually it 10,350,000 because for punitive damages which the jury awarded 5m the cap is actually 350k in the state of Virginia.

First salary after university was N30k sometimes in 2012 when I worked as a Cashier at Skyblue Services a luggage handling company at Murtala International airport.

Last salary while in Nigeria was N766k in September 2021.

Hello Mr Achmed. Pls can u send a link for the NARIC upload of medium of instruction letter. Thanks

Its the Visa and Nationality Service.

https://www.ecctis.com/qualifications/van/default.aspx

I learned you can book via email ..but not sure I it works. Your sure bet is to go there physically...and put your details down..they would then send you booking details.

Uzland:

Hello, Achmed1. I trust you're fine. Please can you give some update on your journey? Have you successfully landed on UK soil?

Yes

RennyKitty:
Dear Achmed,
Congratulations once again on your Visa and are you in the UK already? Please I would love to ask what IELTS score band is required for the Health and care Visa and in your case I assume you used Naric assessment, how were you able to pay for the Naric from Nigeria? And please if there’s anyone on here that has done CBT IELTS please can you shed more on light as in what to expect? Is it feasible considering all my computer literacy skill no pass on top phone and kindle and I would prefer the CBT test because of the faster result date. Please help

Check out this link for further information regarding the requirements for the health and care visa:

https://www.ielts.org/about-ielts/ielts-for-migration/united-kingdom/ielts-used-for-uk-visa-applications

I think u would need to score a band 4 overall and in each of the modules of the IELTS.

For NARIC and all other Visa Application Payments I used a dollar card linked to a Sterling Bank Account.

I sourced dollar from the Aboki on the street, funded the Dom Account and made my payments.

To others who are hoping to get Sponsored jobs too. Please let me share a few tips that might help.
1. Download the CV app and register duly and make every experience be it internship or volunteer jobs count. Also be very sure of the referees you will be using for your CV cos they will be contacted before you can be issued your offer letter when you eventually get the job. Also I would advise that you download a sample CV in your job field and follow the templates. Your CV matters a lot and is almost like the master key that will unlock every other doors Of your career progression.
2. After you have successfully built a good CV, good on Apps like Indeed, TotalJobs, Glassdoor and NHS websites and register. Then upload your CV. Some of these websites have assessments that you would be needing to complete and indeed even gives the option to write a cover letter. That’s like a golden opportunity to sell yourself. Please do notices that.
3. Now in order to avoid applying to multiple job openings that you are qualified for but can’t get because they don’t have Tier 2 sponsorship license. You can go to Gov.uk and check the lengthy list of licensed sponsors. Write the employers that fit in your field then go back to Indeed and the other apps and just input the names. It will for sure bring out available job openings and you start sending in your applications.
4. In my case I made it a point of duty at a point to apply to 10jobs in a day. Yes it was stressful and at some point I gave up and trust me that was when I got the call. Matter of fact I I did 2 interviews in one day and got the both jobs. At some point i felt I was wasting time and it seemed almost impossible considering my level of education and all even my sister told me to give up but God showed up.
5. While waiting you can get your Naric assessments ready as it lasts for a lifetime and you would need it for English proficiency or better still do IELTS exams. To avoid any form of delay after getting your CoS
You can also do your TB tests as people are finding it so difficult to book test dates and the result is Valid for 2 years. And of course except you lose focus you would have gotten a headway around the Job issue before the expiration. The only problem here is just that you would be needing a UK address while filling the form.
You will also be needing a police certificate but you can easily get that at Alagbon and you can’t apply for it pre employment because it is only valid for 3 months and
6. lastly and most importantly get your funds ready. A lot of these employers are not ready to pay for anything. They even see the CoS as a huge favor which sadly is in this part of the world. So you need to get your funds ready CoS agencies are “bombarding” them with applications but I think they just stretch out to select random applications here and there. So once they see you are dragging your matter, they move on to the next eligible candidate.
Let opportunities meet you prepared at all times. Especially since it’s Japa season and everyone is looking for a way to legitimately escape this Buhari’s wahala and secret achievements� Please I’m open to more hindsights as I still have a lot of people who want to try this visa route too.
God will see us all through ��

Careful :

Not all professions require a Police Certificate.

Also the TB test is only valid for 6 months.

[/quote][quote author=realvip post=106670951]Hello @achmed1,
I have been booked for the TB test for last week of October.

I'd like to know how the booking for biometrics work. Is it this kind of appointment that is scheduled or you can just walk in to capture.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

There are quite a number of services offered by TLS. This includes the walk-in option which comes at additional cost.

I booked my appointment opting for the self service option where I scanned and uploaded required documents myself on the TLS website.

My biometrics appointment was pretty much just two working days after application so wasn't a far off date. I went for the VI TLS which comes at an additional charge of 55 GBP.

For TB test, forget the website, go to their office at 1 Isaac John and book a date. You did likely get a date that's within a week from your visit at least from recent experience.

Hwy9:


Please, if you attended a Nigerian federal/state university, just consider writing the English proficiency test. You may choose to write IELTS, PTE or any other secured test (check the UK site for guidance). My concern is that you have received your CoS but you don't have all your documents in place. Note that the COS has an expiry date.

As for the TB test, if you can prove to them that your start date is very close and you are way behind schedule, they may consider. Send a mail to them and also consider gate crashing. But you may be required to book a date online first.

Depends on individual circumstance .

PTE turnaround time is the fastest, you get your results same day of the test (not sure how long it takes to receive the certificate or whatever). IELTS takes two weeks at least to receive results ( I had a bad experience with IELTS where my result was withheld for up to 4 or 5 weeks after the test).

Obtaining the medium of instruction letter depends on the school. I got mine (I attended Unilorin) within a week. My NARIC report was out in 6 working days.

Ajibolaoi:
Thank for the information.
Please do you mean with letter of medium of instruction from previous University, we do not need to write IELTS again.

I will appreciate ur response.

Thank you.

I mean with a NARIC report showing that your Bachelor degree is equivalent to a UK bachelor degree and evidencing your English proficiency you do not need IELTS again, this is for the skilled worker visa. I don't know about other visa types.

realvip:
achmed1 thank you very much for responding.
Did the school send the letter to you (via email or courier) or they sent it to NARIC.
Also does it mean I can start the application and save to continue later? I was thinking I have to get all documents ready before starting that's why I asked for the needed documents.
Are you going with any family members? I plan to go with my wife and child.

Thanks in anticipation.

The school provided a hard copy letter Which someone scanned and emailed to me. The school doesn't have to send directly to NARIC, get them to email the signed letter to you .

You can start the application, but u would need to upload the required documents before payment and processing commences.

Upload to NARIC

Scanned copy of your transcript
Scanned copy of your bachelor degree certificate
Scanned copy of your medium of instruction letter

realvip:


Hello,
I have my CoS and offer letter but haven't been able to apply because I haven't done English and TB test.
1. How did you book for your TB test, the site is always saying slot not available
2. Was it any of your lecturers that wrote letter for you for the NARIC verification and how long did it take to get the NARIC feedback.
3. Besides CoS, offer letter, TB cert and English proficiency, what other documents did you include in your application?

Counting on your response please.
Thanks

You may have to visit IOM at their office physically to book a date for your tb test or send them an email.

My medium of instruction letter was prepared by my university's academic office (transcripts unit) within the Senate building of the school and not a lecturer.

The NARIC report comes out within 10 working days..but usually less. I got mine in 6 working days.

The documents you need to submit would be shown to you on a checklist on the UK Gov website... within your application portal.

Guys ..who knows any approved pre departure Covid test centre around yaba .surulere axis

Uzland:

Amazing! Can't wait to read your success post here.

Collected the Visa today.

Kopoy:


Hey,

Can I use HND for NARIC report?

Thank you

You can try... NARIC may or may not give it Bachelor's degree equivalence.

Due to the cost. I suggest you go for IELTS or PTE.

[quote author=Kopoy post=106069497][/quote]


What happen? Any Questions for me?

Orkpeohluwher:
Hello everyone

My BSc degree and Professional Certificate (CIPM) were evaluated by WES as "Bachelor's degree (three years) and Bachelor's degree (four years)". Is this how the WES report is for everyone with such profile?

While completing my IRCC application, there was no option of "Two or more degrees" as I see on the CRS Tools, I only saw the "Bachelors Degree" option and "Master's Degree or licensed certification" option. So, I picked "Bachelor's Degree" option for both at the point where asked the equivalent of my degrees as stated in my WES report .

But after submitting my application, my overall score dropped by 40 points as against the score I got when I used the CRS Tool.

Please I will appreciate your advice.

Thank you.

I guess you haven't solved this issue..

Healhtyliving:
this is still pending?

Received ready for collection email today .. would collect my documents tomorrow.

My application (Standard Skilled Worker Visa) :

RennyKitty:

Good morning

Please someone posted here saying immigration officers are asking to see the proof of maintenance funds at the airport.

I want to ask if it's Nigerian immigration officers asking for this before boarding or its the UK immigration officers asking to see the proof of maintenance funds
Thank you

Nigerian immigration has no business with that.
