TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 2 by docharry18: 7:00pm On Mar 06, 2015

Hi, I'm a doctor applying for my PLAB visa. My issues are
1) I quit my job a month ago, but have all my payslips & bank documents. How do I go about filling up the employment column ?
2) My parents are in the UK & my dad's work visa expires in about a week. His passport is with the home office for ILR processing ( he should ideally get it in a few days). But since my exam is quite near, I've got a cousin to sponsor me. How do I present this fact ?
Given these difficulties, please help me tackle this rather complex issue. Hindsight, I should not have quit my job, but my grandmother was diagnosed with cancer last month & since my father could'nt make it, I had to quit my job to support her.
Your profession is good, but your circumstances are unfavorable.
1) You can not fulfill the employment aspect because, you are unemployed, but yet, that does not disqualify you from getting the visa.
2) Your cousin is not eligible to be your sponsor, this aspect will disqualify you.

As a follow-up to my earlier question :
I have now decided to go to the UK in time for the June exam & intend to travel in May.
1)I'm still unemployed. Should I get re-employed at the same hospital (which is difficult because it will be only for little over a month) or would any other hospital do ? Even if I work elsewhere, (this is the name of the place I would be filling up in my form) & I show my earlier employer's payslips (which is upto January) will it be OK or would questions be raised ?
2) I'm waiting for my parents' passports to come ( still with the Home Office) & then apply with my father as sponsor.
3) Could I still apply without anyone sponsoring me, with just a hotel booking for about a week around the period of the exam ? I'll mention that my parents currently live in London but will be back to the homeland, hence the hotel booking. Or does this sound too complicated ?
I am still very perturbed by the employment situation & hence my question, how much of an impact will it make on the visa application. Thanks a lot for your earlier answer, I did'nt go ahead with my cousin's sponsorship.
