So others are getting interviews because of bribery? That’s such a presumptuous and careless statement to make. If you are getting a lot of rejection emails from the NHS, perhaps you are not doing something correctly. Most of the people I know who got a job with the NHS not only took their time to answer the questions correctly, but they went the extra mile by emailing the contact information at the bottom of the job posting.

Hmmmm... Could you clarify more on the highlighted? Do you have any particular scenarios where you are privileged to a firsthand info? Or is this hearsay? I find it quite hard to believe, but not entirely impossible.

Zahra29:


You're welcome ☺️

8 months, wow, and all this time you haven't had a shift from your sponsor? Some agencies are really evil, how do they expect people to survive?!

Anyways, it's good that you're looking for another sponsor, hopefully you'll find something soon. Have you tried the NHS, especially trusts in more remote places?

On a lighter note, those unmarried singles are really finding it hard to get a life partner. Especially the ladies.

Zahra29:


Did you fill in a starter form ( previously called P46) when you started your second job? On this form you should have ticked that this is not your main job, so HMRC is informed that it is a supplementary job.

From a tax perspective, I don't think it's a huge issue because HMRC will make any necessary adjustments if you've been overpaying or underpaying tax.

From an immigration perspective, the implications are that your sponsor's license is at risk of being revoked if they are not able to provide the required shifts. Also the time you've spent won't qualify towards ILR as you are not working the stipulated number of hours under the conditions of your visa. So try and find another sponsor asap if you aren't already looking.

If you haven't completed your studies, with proof from your university that you can share with the home office, it's very unlikely you'll be allowed to switch your visa status in line with recently implemented rules.

Can you apply for a visa extension since your school has approved your course extension?

They change it from time to time. During covid, it was relaxed. Later brought back and relaxed again until end of August.


Paying for COS is not advisable but from an economic standpoint, I hardly see the difference between that and loads of people who pay much more for an obscure masters and then end up working in or paying for another COS in the care sector. Most Nigerians who pay huge sums for masters do that for the sole purpose of migration. From most, the direct care route would be a better option.

What you could do is try and target NHS HCA/support roles in acute or mental health trusts that ere eligible for sponsorship. Also, might be worth checking if your original sponsor can second you to another agency with vacancies. The second agency then pays you through your sponsor.

Also see if you can use your free time to learn some trade that you could do as a side job for your 20hrs when you get an NHS sponsored role. In the end, you'd be allright.

Taal17:


I doubt the abuse of COS is their primary concern. People are willingly paying to get COS . Most of that cash paid isn't traceable to the specific care agency. Ppl probably paid middlemen and likely they paid the naira equivalent .

It's the optics of reducing net migration, as well as the news coverage of people with families stranded in the UK.selling ALL their properties move to the UK. That doesn't help the politics of the party next year.

if they were truly invested in stopping the abuse of COS care jobs they would do more than just remove COS license (which doesn't stop the care agency from operating).
They won't cancel that category either not whilst NHS gan has shortage.

Hello my people,
I'm currently in the UK on a health and care visa, arrived in December 2022, maintenance was ticked on my COS so i didn't have to provide any proof of funds for my application. I'm about to apply for dependant visas for my wife and kids and don't know if i'm to provide proof of funds for their application or if the maintenance ticked on my COS also applies to them. Thanks for your assistance
