I find myself in a funny situation.
I got an IT-related offer in which the employer(NHS) insist on getting a Naric Evaluation to prove my Bsc is the same as that of the Uk. The HR explains that they need this to be done before they can issue a COS. Where I have a challenge is that there is industrial action at naija my uni and it would take a long time to get proficiency in English letter through the back door. As an alternative, I have PTE Academics UKVI, so all I require is the evaluation of my BSC alone. I tried initiating a Visas and Nationality (English proficiency) on Naric, with the mindset that the Bsc would be evaluated alone, but they keep asking for the proficiency in English letter.

Please, do anyone have experience evaluating education(B.Sc) alone while using IELTS or PTE UKVI for English proficiency, I really can't afford to b waiting for proficiency in English letter from uni as I cant attach a timeline to this process.

Ok guys... here is my progress since my last post.
Here is my IELTS result (It was easier than I thought, given I did not even practice at all. Just focus on the requirement of each module and be familiar with them - so that you know what you are doing at every point in the exams - you should be fine.), just waiting for police cc, picking it up on Wednesday. Unlike Alagbon, Abuja takes 3 to 5 working days get it.
Pls who has info on MFB that do proof of fund for a fee? I need to get the 28days running before getting COS so that I wont have to wait out the period before staring my visa application process.

Good evening,
Please why does the visa application page requesting for sponsor's licence number keep saying "Licence number not found" after inputting the correct number despite the company being listed as an accredited company for sponsorship?
Thank you.

Hello sir, an agent is asking me to pay 1.6m for this HCA job,said money will cover test of English, Visa processing, TB test, Flight ticket and everything generally, I want to know if its a good deal.?

Ijyoma:
Please how do I tell an employer that I can't (don't want to) resume sooner than August? I eventually got the offer letter but it says to pick an induction date from the ones that have been lined up from may to June 24th. That's the earliest date is two weeks from now and the farthest is two months. I've not done naric, I've not built my account...I never prep other necessities...house rent, flight ticket...
Which kain wahala be this for oyinbo people? I imagined say na after CoS we go De speak all this English. Should I tell them that I want to wait for their CoS first? What if they give me the CoS tomorrow tomorrow?
Cc; jiigga

akanniade10:
Hi guys, I have been assigned a 3 year CoS and my employer agreed to certify my maintenance so i don’t have to use my bank statement when applying for visa.

My annual salary (gross) as stated in my CoS is just a little above £28,000 per annum but they have stated that the immigration surcharge for the three years (£1092) will be deducted from my salary with an agreement.

I am not sounding greedy but is it right as there were no prior discussion regarding this, I was only told after my CoS was assigned.

blessedmumi:


Thanks for your response. To be clear, I’m asking specifically for links to jobs I can apply for. Never will I ask for the entire information on the process because I’m caught up on that. I only need to know which organizations or agencies that provide these visa sponsorship.

jiigga:
guys... how's it going? . good day...

quick question, if i may.. please

so in place of havin the 1,270 pounds in your own account, ,

is there a chance that an uncle BORN & LIVING in london, , his bank statements/ house proof/mortgage payments etc, , would suffice as proof of support during the visa application ??

any credible responces will be appreciated.. . thanks much

Kaylaonah:
Please guys I need your help urgently!!

I made payment for my IELTS test for this Thursday, since last week Thursday and it went through from my side, I got debited and all. When I didn't receive confirmation of payment, I called them, and was told that they didn't receive my payment and any payment done now can't be confirmed for me to write on Thursday.

Please what do I do?? There's no available date any time soon and my money has gone through according to my bank

sharpsharp:
Can someone book for a walk in visa application like tomorrow without appointment in Ikeja?

Who has done such in the past here?

MrsO2:
Hello everyone.

I have seen some responses to my question below in the thread, however I haven't seen any response that goes into details.

My question is:
For someone with a UK MSc from years back, returned to Nigeria after studies and currently applying on the Health Care Worker Visa route as a Care Assistant, is the UK MSc Certificate sufficient to prove English competence?

I have seen a lot of "yes" responses to the question on the thread, however, please does anyone know anyone who has successfully applied from Nigeria for the Health Care Worker visa using just their UK MSc certificate, without needing NARIC/ECCTIS or IELTS?

I will appreciate a detailed response to this please.
Wouldn't want to spend all that money getting NARIC/ECCTIS evaluation, only to find out I could have done without it.

Thank you.

Emurate1:


Thank you. Majority of the information I got concerning HCA was from this platform. It's only proper I give back.

Someone from this thread, we have the same offer letter from the same care home. But little information I'll ask him or mail him for, you'll never get a response. I no Sabi wetyn him dey feel like sha, but we go still jam for the same UK.

Gernny:
Exactly tell us the care homes you got the offer,questions they asked you,this platform helped you,you should also give back.

CeeCyrils:
Thank you for this clarification. I still want to ask a question relating to this.

Can one apply for admission in UK with the IELTS UKVI general test that we are required to present the result now?

Will one be required to write another IELTS test again?

You can study part time and see how it goes . .... especially if you intend to spread it out for those 5 years . If you work with maybe taking weekend or evening shifts then perhaps they will be time for studying.

A lot of these indians who are using it to relocate , I am very sure have no plans to stay in care after ilr so will be doing somethings on the side to prepare for transition. Either it been formal education be it part time or full time or some form of training . Care still pay minimum wage so it should not be a long term goal at all but for now its a good stepping stone to japa

sarssy:
Is there a way one can schedule appointment for dependants do it can fall under the same day? Or how does it work please.

Emurate1:
Hey guys. I want to drop a few interview tips. This is just based on what I have done with good result. Might not always work.

I've had 3 interviews. I have been successful at 2, awaiting response for the 3rd one. The 3 interviews were less than 15 minutes. One of them was 6 minutes 37 seconds. I was told that I'd be employed before the interview ended.

Firstly, You need to involve God. Very important.

During the interview, it is important that you speak as much as you can. If you are asked a question, don't just give a short response. I was scheduled for an interview of 30 minutes, at the 12th minute, the manager told me that she does not have any more question to ask me, she said I had already talked about everything she needed to ask.

Secondly, don't keep a serious face, smile. Answer your questions with a smile. You could chip in a soft laughter at the right time. My 3 interviews, we have always had that laughter. You can not be taking care of patients and be frowning. Show them how good you are at it.
It got the extent that, when the manager is asking me a question, she's smiling already, if I am quiet thinking about an answer to a question, she's giving me that big smile. I am also returning the smile, then answering the question in a not so serious way. PLEASE AND PLEASE, NO GO DEY SMILE DEY TALK RUBBISH.

Thirdly, Please Google about the care home. Even if you are not asked anything about the care home, you have several opportunity to chip it in when answering some of the questions. You could chip in when the care home was found, how many rooms, their ratings, values etc. It will always give you an edge.

Fourthly, Don't join the interview late. I was scheduled for an interview 12:30. I was online with Microsoft teams as early as 12:20. We started the interview before 12:30. Put on a shirt. Look neat. Let it be a quiet and professional background. Use good network. Dial *21*17010# to block incoming calls. Dial #21# to cancel.

Lastly, Pray to God. You can never go wrong with that

sarssy:
Can someone please help explain this? I just need a second opinion.

Does this mean that its on day 31 i print and submit the statement for visa application?

Juice191968:
hey guys, been following this thread silently and thank you all for your inputs and contributions.
Guys please help me in understanding this, i am trying to fill my application and i came across this part below:

You must have been granted a visa or permission to Yes

level B1 or above. For example:
scored level B1, B2, C1 or C2 on an approved
English language test which assessed your
reading, writing, speaking and listening skills
have a degree which was taught in English
have an English GCSE, A level or Scottish
National 4 or 5, Higher, or Advanced Higher
qualification
if you were a student, your sponsor confirmed
on your CAS that you met the required level


Please someone should clarify especially the bolded part as i have a degree from university of ibadan
