Chikalaman:
Hello house good evening, I sent some funds through ohentpay today but its been over 3 hours yet, status is still pending and beneficiary hasn't gotten value. Its my first time of using them. Please has anyone had this issue.

I did. Although, the amount I sent wasn't much and I sent it from my Uk account to my naira account.

I got credited after like 15min.

cyberknoz:

It was added by default for me after selecting UK as my location

amehrada:

I paid £171 for hard copy and this includes tax.

Once you get your CoS, update your immigration status i.e Visa. If CoS is about to expire, you must renew it or terminate your employment with them

Thank you

My people, abeg help check screenshot. It's a conditional offer though and my study visa expires in Jan 2023.

Question: The clause "It is your responsibility to ensure this eligibility and entitlement is maintained throughout your period of employment with NHS Western Isles" dey confuse me.

Ifesinachi22:


Thank you so much bro.

I really didn't understand what you mean by Ms Team on your reaction to number one question

MS Teams is Microsoft Teams app. That's what NHS uses for their interview.

efilefun:
Good morning, please does the UKVI accept the NARIC (Ecctis) downloadable e-statement for visa purposes, or must one use the hardcopy? Thanks, this is pretty urgent

I'm sorry, I do not have an answer to your question. I hope someone responds soon.

Viruses:

I understand better now after reading @LagosismyHome's comment.

You need a letter from your school stating that English is the medium of instruction. It will be issued by your school's registrar and addressed to NARIC. However, your school will not send it to NARIC themselves, they will send it to you then you will scan it and upload to NARIC.

I think you are better of with IELTS, just register for the next available one if what you want to use it for is time-bound.

I did IELTS and NARIC but I used the IELTS because before NARIC came out owing to my school's delay in issuing the said letter, I had already applied with IELTS and my visa was even out seff.

Thank you for your response. It's not time-bound and Canada don make me get PTSD for IELTS

Akorkor:


For me, I uploaded my B.sc & one MSc. Didn’t upload the second one due to long process of getting proof of English from the school.
And NARIC responded within 4 working days which was surprising because this was December period and by the way, it was standard.

Thank you for your response. I will just upload the degree that I've got proof of English for.

It will definitely take time to get proof of English for my BSc.

Hi everyone,
I just came across this thread and I was so fascinated as so many questions on my mind were answered here, however, I still have few things I want to clarify.
I am currently on a student visa in UK September 2021 batch, studying msc psychology (Conversion). I did sociology and anthropology in my BSC and I don't have work experience in that regard. Meanwhile, I am currently working in care home here the UK.
I want to know how I can utilize My msc degree to get a sponsorship job here, please @cheesyTee, @dee1504 and @Uzland, I know you guys a well experienced in this journey.
I am a bit confused as I have read that msc psychology conversion can only fetch me band 4 job. Please what are my options. I want to start exploring them early enough as I don't want to pay £2000 for PSW if I don't end up getting sponsorship job. Is it possible to switch on this new launched pathway of care giving?

With your MSc Psychology conversion, you will need a specialisation course. Some got for Clinical Psychology while some take another diploma in CBT. However, some band 4 assistant psychology positions are permanent, you may start with that.

I have also seen a band 5 Assistant Psychologist position under councils like Orkney and Highland.

Viruses:

Maybe things have changed or I don't understand you properly.
When I did mine, I gave them cert and transcript, they evaluated and gave me proof of English certificate. I wasn't the one that gave them proof of English.
Nonetheless, uploading just your highest qualification should be fine.

Thank you. I think things have changed too. I'll upload my highest degree.

Viruses:

Are you talking about getting NARIC proof of English proficiency? you need to upload your certificate and transcript.
If you create a free account and login, you'll see the checklist of required documents.

Thank you for your response.

Yes. I have uploaded the required documents. They also requested proof of English to be uploaded.

I wanted to know if it's okay to upload just Msc. instead of two degrees.

Good evening, I'm trying to apply for NARIC, can I upload just my MSc credentials and proof of English or I must upload BSc as well.

I don't have proof of English for my BSc, hence my question.

Engobi:

Hi good morning cheesyTee please can you kindly link me up to a reliable housing agent in Scotland?

Check openrent, rightmove or zoopla.

If you have anyone already in Scotland, you may ask them to help you go for viewing.

mizGene:

Good on you. Switch if you can. If your studies don't interfere with work too much, you can complete it on the side...otherwise, defer or abort

Thank you.
Studies will most likely be affected.

The job is in another council and the trip to school is roughly 7hrs. Unless I fly.

Hi nairalanders, I've been reading about switching from student visa to skilled worker visa. I got NHS offer (band 6) as a psychotherapist.

I am September term and they're still doing some background checks so it's may take 4-6 weeks before I receive an unconditional offer.

I'm looking to switch even though I'm yet to ask for COS. I'm waiting to receive an unconditional offer before asking.

ybahrbz91:
Congratulations @CheesyTee.

I also got an offer recently as a Physiotherapist with NHSGGC. Since you are in Scotland already,
Can you please give me some heads-up about NHS Scotland.

Congratulations!!! I seriously have no experience working in NHS.

Thank you.

As I mentioned, I am on a student visa and I came into Uk in September 2021 for MSc. Health Psychology.

I have MSc. Clinical Psychology from Nigeria already with experience as a clinical psychologist too.

I was previously focusing on assistant psychologists, healthcare assistants and support workers positions because getting a job as a clinical psychologist requires a doctorate and HCPC registration. I started checking vacancies in my field because my experience working as a carer with an agency wasn't something I wanted for a long-term purpose.

I then realised I was qualified for the position of a cognitive behaviour therapist considering my previous masters and work experience from Nigeria.

Some required HCPC registration while some doesn't. I got several "following your application... we regret to inform you..." mail

I realised it's better to go to rural areas (at least for me) than focus on NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde or West of Scotland and other popular places.

I got an interview invitation to come in person but I requested a virtual interview instead.

The rest, they say na story.

And here we are...

dee1504:


Congratulations ma'am. Your patience paid off. Welcome to the NHS.

Kindly share your experience, so that other PSYCHOTHERAPISTS can learn i.e B.Sc, M.Sc, other relevant qualifications, how you applied, any tips for applications, etc

Got my conditional offer today!

CheesyTee:
Hello guys, I am a student in Scotland and I applied for a job as a Band 6 psychotherapist position in NHS. I was called about 3hrs after my interview and since then, it’s been radio silent.

I’ve called the HR department of the hospital and they said they’re waiting for the Director to sign off on some documents.

The wait since December is killing me.

A lot of options comes up when you google "student accommodation paisely". Have you checked them out?

Thank you. I’m looking for a two bedroom flat as I’m going with my family.

cdieli:
Please I need help or link from anyone in Scotland in securing an accommodation at Paisley, Scotland. I have been trying to get an accommodation, my travelling date is getting close. Thank you

Same here. The search is tiring.

CSPb:

CSPb:

Please who else is having issue paying priority visa with GTB dollar card? I’m trying to pay for dependants. Card is well funded and it kept on asking me to agree to terms which I don select many times.

Frustrated.

teewaik:
Thanks so much for yor response. May God bless you. For finally clarity l, by the bolded, i believe you mean the closing balance as at 28th not going down below the required sum.Thanks again.

Closing balance must not fall short the required amount even by one kobo in any of the days (from day 1 - 28). Not as at 28th day.

If you are yet to receive visa, you can’t use Prodigy Finance at visa application stage. This is because the financial company is not regulated in the country you will be applying from ( CBN).

However, if you’re applying from USA, by all means.

If you have already gotten visa, you have no worries.

Agbeni33:
Hello house, please who has use prodigy finance before I need some clarification...

I have provisional offer from them

Replied

Maygirl953:
Thank you ChessyTee. Please check your mail, I sent you an email

Hopeful123:
Thanks for your kind words.

I received the decision_refusal email in my inbox. I have not receive the email that passport is ready . tracking on website still show "still at dmc"

later one they responded to my paid email that decision as been made.

In the refusal they wrote

"This means that any future entry clearance applications may also be refused under the Immigration Rules for a period of up to 10 years depending on the type of application you make. The period of 10 years starts from the date that the deception was used in this application for a visa."

I guess that is 10 years ban. Right?

Only God knows what weed they are smoking. I just weak

So sorry to read this.

I have read of someone’s case of refusal because his certificate was laminated.

Was your certificate laminated?

Hopeful123:
Hi All,

I received a refusal letter from Pretoria today.

Reason they give is that my certificate that i used 5 years to obtain is not genuine.

"You have submitted a 2008 Bachelor of Science degree certificate in your name
which was purportedly issued by the University of Ibadan. However examination
of the document by a forgery officer have led to the conclusion that this
document is not genuine. These checks have been documented in a document
examination report (DER) held by our office. I am satisfied that you have
submitted a false document in support of your application. Your application is
therefore refused under Paragraph 9.7.1 (a) of the Immigration Rules."

They examined scanned copy ooo and reached conclusion. no email for confrimation or verificationwas sent to school because I already checked with school this afternoon.

Please i need advise. Administrative review takes a long time from what I have been reading here. Please any advise is welcome

@Justwise et al

Thanks all
