Kindly take note that your tb test result must still be valid at the border entry in the UK. They will ask to see it. You could confirm from IOM.

Nah…… What matters is it’s validity at the time of visa application.

Homemade12:
Both don't have healthcare background o

What I mean is that no gender is more favourable than the other.

The person that wants to apply for the job should try and get a care certificate at the least. Read through the forum, you will see massive tips.

Homemade12:
Please house, between husband and wife who is at better chance of getting the carer job

The most qualified

milkytins:
This is also my situation and my calculations.
But someone said it will be more than this when you are about to make the payment on their webpage.
Taking the student's visa as example, £470 per year but they charge $1,018 per year when you want to make the payment. $1,018 is far more than £470.
Probably, £624 for skilled worker could be far more than £624 at the point of payment.
Anyone that just passed through this process of skilled visa can pls share more light.

Nobody is paying more, if you read well you will see that for student it’s £470 per year and for every additional six months you pay £235. The amount you pay depends on the length of your visa.

Good evening all.
I got a job offer letter from a company in the United Kingdom, I was told to sign and scan back to acknowledge that I accept the letter and also send a copy to work permit UK visa bureau unit consultant on how to process visa and work permit, I did and the consultant has sent me the information on how to obtain the visa and work permit. Visa fee £655 for 5 years, work permit £1220. Please help I don't want to fall for scammers

Run oooh

nawtibownie:
Did you request for hard copy, for you to have been charged this much?

Electronic copy

aminlove:
Biometric done & dusted! As if I knew time doesn't count... Just like TB Centre too... it's always first come first serve or randomly.

Please, Is this 6 weeks true �?

Wishing you all the best.

infinity2050:
Please for those who have done interviews with care homes before kindly State how it was done. Was it via Skype or Whatsapp video calls.

I have done Skype, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet. I even did a physical interview where I had to drive from Manchester to Notthingham.

So it just depends on the company

Emurate1:
You would have to go through ECCITS/NARIC if you don't want to write IELTS or any other English Exam. It's more expensive though. 140 pounds

£140 but when they added vat it became £177. They deducted £177 from my card straight up.

When I first knew about Naric, it used to be £30.

dee1504:
Very rare, in fact, extremely rare. 5 years CoS is 5k pounds and most organisations wont want to pay that amount for someone they are not sure of. 3 years CoS has been the norm for a long time now

Most of these care homes are classified as small organisations.

With less than 2k, you can get sponsored for 5years.

People do get it

dee1504:
Bro, are you for real? You see 3 years CoS and you're still asking for clarification? Have you seen CoS of more than 3 years before? Better accept your thing and start preparing for your Visa appointment. Congratulations, by the way

Yes, there is 5 years and a company is willing to offer but they pay less

Thanks buddy. I actually took job hunting as a second job.

TheGuyFromHR:
Why do you see any danger therein?
Even if a company offers you 5 years, it's still the same thing in terms of "security" - they could still withdraw their sponsorship at any time (job loss). One could argue that the longer the offer, the more valuable the company deems the new sponsee and the less likely they will be to terminate them, which may apply in theory, but lessens the insecurity of an employer-dependent visa not at all.

Bottom line: take it. Remember you can still switch jobs at any time and the fact that you have secured employment, and sponsored employment at that, usually makes you more attractive to other employers than otherwise, all other factors being equal.

LagosismyHome:
There is no danger....after 3 years it shouldn't be hard to get the additional 2 years either with same company or another. Mainly because at that time you have proper UK relevant experience and already in the Uk

3 years or 5 years anybody can be sacked or made redundant at any time. Don't let the number of years fool you into a sense of security. Just ensure you do your work well at all times and people skills at all angles is essential too

Thanks for your input, well noted and understandable. The sponsorship is for the recent Care Worker visa, what is bothering me is that the UK government changes rules and regulations. Just few months ago, care workers couldn't be sponsored and it wasn't on the shortage occupation list, what if at the time of renewal, care workers couldn't be sponsored anymore or the regulation at the time doesn't make it easy to get sponsorship. That's all I am worried about and again care work is still an unskilled job. If it were to be the likes of the Nurses and other healthcare professional jobs, maybe I wouldn't be worried.

Thanks all the same guys. I have a 5 year sponsorship offer as well, it's just that the one that is offering 3 years pays a lot more.

Guys what's the danger of accepting a 3 year sponsorship offer? Even though the company says they will renew when due.

Cheers Fam.

I have got like 3 interviews in the comings days.

Oya share tips so that we can ace

Jaybadestboy:
Its getting harder and harder as they are exhausting thier sponsorship allocation

Is it that after getting a sponsorship licence, there is a maximum number of employees they can sponsor at a time. Cos I have been seeing some companies say that one batch is full and you have to wait for another like 6 months for another batch.

Do you know how it works?

I see massive COS landing in this thread soon.

Guys get your documents ready so there wouldn't be any form of delay. Tb tests, Knowledge of English, Funds, e.t.c

santos247:
Hello guys,
How long did it get to get through the ECCTIS certification. I see on their website that it takes 30 working days. Could the outcome be earlier without paying the fast track?

I checked the website now and I can still see 10 working days. I advise you check again

finestboy1:
Same thing as well.. Did my UK MSc in 2012 and contemplating IELTS or Naric

Make una come give me this money

RichMedz:
What kind of job where you offered/are you apply for?

If you can tell me the exact role, I might be able to tell if it's necessary to write an IELTS exam or if Ecctis will suffice and all you have to do is back it up with evidence

Some H&C Job still requires IELTS, a few of such job is Nursing Jobs and Medical Doctors

Care Assistant

dramacox:
Please what the process in obtaining Ecctis certificate. Response will be appreciated.

degree certificate + medium of instruction letter + transcript.

Apply on the website with these, make payment and expect your result in 2 weeks or less

mydeporch:
What I meant is that I have a master qualification in 2012 from UK. That's why I opted for Naric.
Am in Nigeria and not in UK. In the case of this application, one need a proof....I believe

I stand to be corrected but I believe your Uk master degree is enough to prove your knowledge of English. You don't need Naric or Ielts

mydeporch:
That's the truth. Sometimes not all the applicable requirements are known. I even thought with UK Masters submitted for assessment, it will be helpful. I am already looking into booking IELTS o...I pray it's positive outcome....... I believe the Solicitor will know better .

I’m not sure if I understand you. But if you have a Uk degree, you don’t need Ecctis or IELTS to prove your knowledge of English Language.

mydeporch:
Hopefully she does.
Am also interested in the update please. I intend applying for Naric ..I am contemplating on whether I should opt for Naric or just do the IELTS they recognize easily.
All the best.

I think it’s their ignorance jare. It’s clearly written on the uk government website. Most of these oyinbos don’t know much about immigration rules.

So I sent a mail and she replied “ We will gain confirmation from our solicitor and come back to you should we require any further test reports.”

So I believe the Solicitor should be more informed and hopefully my Ecctis would be accepted.

Thanks guys.

oniwoski:
Hello dear

Is the companyEna Care? Cos I got same email from them

No it’s not ENA care.

Teewhy2:
Maybe you should make a snapshot of the requirements on gov uk website and send to them that it is either of the two.

Uzland:
The advice given by Teewhy2 is nice. You can also include the specific UKVI link that outlines ways to prove English language proficiency - https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/knowledge-of-english and also the Ecctis link - https://www.ecctis.com/visasandnationality for them to confirm.

PS Don't forget to give us feedback on the outcome.

Thanks Guys. I just did, I hope she reasons with me.

Guys how do I convince a company that Ecctis can be used to prove my knowledge of English Language. The Hr is insisting that I provide ielts even though I have provided my Ecctis certificate with Level C1. Abi which kind wahala be this?

"Thank you for your Academic Qualification Level & English Language Proficiency Statements but for UK VISA Sponsorship the Home Office requires you to provide a IELTS UKVI"

Na wetin the Hr send me be this

For everyone asking for cv sample, go to indeed and use their template to create your cv and save the pdf on your phone or your computer. It’s as simple as that.

mrnairaland1:
Hello lovelies. I need your opinions here. As a student that entered into the UK and still has 8 months to the end of the program and has a tier 2 Sponsorship offer (at a cost though).
Is it advisable to convert now or convert towards the end of the program? If now, what is the best and safest way to go about it for smooth transitioning from student to sponsored worker. Thanks
