Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlementm applications within 120 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

I got this mail today. Note its for my 1 year old son, myself and my wife haven't received any mail yet. What's the implication?

Beedollas:

Mine is 5years swv since 1st June... No response from them... Though paid mail stated decision has been made

debopopson:
Has anybody who applied for 5 year Health worker Visa gotten a decision recently? I did biometrics 30th May 2022 and since then nothing. People who have applied for visas after me have gotten. I also met a lady who applied for 5 years that submitted before me and still hasnt gotten a decision (Her's is over 6 weeks now and she has called and done mails, they are saying decision has not been made). I am suspecting they are slowing down the 5 year application process..i really dont know why the delay...

jagbasneh:

IELTS is it the result on taker portal or British council will send it themselves?

jagbasneh:
Good morning gurus in the house, quick one pls. What documents are you going to send to your employer for issuing of COS

Zyzy012:


Pls I’m still waiting for this reply?

Teeogi:
sorry to bother you, should I count from the day additional information was sent? They actually requested for additional information on the 23rd of May.

Teeogi:
Hello house, please I have been waiting for COS, for anyone that has gotten recently please how long did it take? Thank you

OGIYEN:
For all those that need to travel to abj for passport, pls look for someone or an officer to send your data to make an application for you,so they need to approved it first then go for capturing,then if you need to come back home or wait for like 4 to 5days for it to be processed,then pls make sure you discuss how it will b sent to you if dealing with an immigration officer.if you want to just wait for evrytin you can plan your trip and just stay for a week plus.

Lost passports, change of name,change of data,damage passports can ONLY be done in abuja

rkayfree:
Btw,


Pls would anyone have any updates regarding COS from the home office ?

I hope this Ukraine - Russia issues hasn't compounded the delays or ignoring requests from applications for naija workers

TomatoSauce1:


This does not apply in their case. They are married and applying together.

DreamerDoer:


But the problem is, how many students will stay long/permanently on those jobs Because majority of those converting did not study any healthcare related course in Uni. So, if they see better offer in their line of study, they will leave those jobs.

Like the whole thing is annoying sef, who else is having delay on their COS after receiving their job offer letter?

Confidantfunds:

Interview 15march, picture of my IP requested on April 22, cos issued on 7th, so I won't know when it was processed, since it wasn't discussed

Confidantfunds:

Also while applying for visa, I have gotten to the stage of World pay 614usd

Haven't seen where to identify number of dependents o, though they aren't going now with me, but i feel I am supposed to add it. Help me, abi I dey fill wrong form

beejay1157:

What if I blow your mind with the fact that some direct employers are asking for big money now as well...e.g LuxuryCare...
This route is dead and buried..

Saw this on Gain Healthcare Page on Facebook and decided to share.

For clarity (this post isn’t just for those in Zimbabwe as we receive applications from Nigeria, Namibia,
Malawi, Kenya, etc)

1. Our admin fees are refundable if you don’t qualify (but we won’t accept any admin fees unless you actually meet our criteria and you have interviews well)

2. Our admin fees are fully refundable after you have worked the full duration of your working visa. (This is our thank you for your service)

The reasons these fees are in place, is how much we have have to invest in each candidate. Yet we are at a risk of losing the candidate anytime if they choose. This is our way of protecting the “contract”:

The above is what big companies like the NHS etc have in place and it’s called an exit clause.

Admin fees cover :

1. Document verification
2. Administrative work (calls etc)
3. Training (£400 deduction if you already have our training)
4. Accomodation
5. Company car
6. Insurance
7. Fuel
8. Food
9. DBS
10. Practical training
11. Uniforms
12. ID badges
13. PPE

It costs a lot to recruit a candidate and we are finding that care work is not for everyone. Some struggle to do the job when they arrive. So they decide to leave “as long as they are in the UK” some say.

Please be advised. Only apply if you truly understand the terms and conditions. Please be prepared to go through the full process and be patient as the process is via a mutli team. We have no control over the time scales of visa, home office, etc.

Requirements are :

1. IELTS test
2. Driving license
3. Training
4. TB test
5. Covid vaccines
6. Police clearance
7. Hep B vaccine

Kindly apply if you have the requirements.

RealBae:
Me.
Although I'm waiting for my IELTS result as well. I was told they will issue COS when I send them my result
I don't know how long that will take.
