No I haven't heard from them. I mailed them that i am done with the training by yet to get a response. How is yours going?
Have you been able to settle with them?

From my personal experiences, none of the care homes specified IELTS VI or general.
This is one example I've copied and pasted "Can you provide either a OET or a IELTS certificate". I may be wrong, but none ever specified among at least 4 experiences.
The primary aim of writing IELTS UKVI is for your Visa application.

Do you want to write normal IELTS and submit to care home then write IELTS UKVI for visa?

I already had my passport. You're jumping to conclusions anyhow tbvh. Anyway, whatever rocks your boat cause if I'm asked to choose, I'd go with the people that are actually involved in the process rather than someone who is using his internet and personal experience to judge mine smiley
Internet is where we get information from. You are using NL to get information.

Personal experience? Lol. Wetyn dey UKGOV site don turn to personal experience.
Who dey judge you?

You may be mixing things up , is either your employer still waiting for their CoS application or not serious giving you CoS because they must request your passport . Last document they requested from me was my passport , though I'm still waiting too.
When people lack the ability to research for information themselves, they tend to dwell on half fed information. Let her keep waiting for CoS without submitting passport. Either they are waiting for license or they are waiting for CoS allocation.

You said it right here that what they're doing is confirming that you have the right documents. It's not needed for your cos process in home office.

Besides, if you hear me speak, you'll know there's no way I can fail an English test ��
Of course. Home office doesn't need TB or IELTS to issue CoS.

But there's no way you won't submit any documents. Your friend must have submitted her passport. That's a document, how else did they get her passport number, Passport issue date and Expiration date of they did not ask her for any document?

Kaylaonah:
From the start, my firm did not ask me for any document. Got my job offer without confirmation of having any document. They started talking cos process from the start and told me I should get my documents while they wait.

And if you ask anyone that got a job offer recently, emphasis on the recently, they'll tell you the same thing. Home office has slowed down in approving allocated cos.
There's no doubt that things have slowed down.

I am trying to tell you that your care home have not started processing your CoS if they have not asked you for any document. Your CoS bears your passport number. So if they've not asked you for even Passport, then they are waiting for something else.

I got my own offer without submitting any document.

So is it only English proficiency they'd ask for, to indicate the start of the CoS application..? Things are just getting weirder and weirder, other wise all these are what should be submitted for visa request. Me , I'm even still here strategizing on how to force offer out of their hands.
Care homes pay roughly 2k pounds for CoS and Immigration skill charge. Do you want them to pay that amount without confirming if you have the right documents for Visa Application? They need to be sure.

You'll just have to be really patient o. Home office is in way over their head with this Ukraine issue. Mine is close to a month plus now since my offer letter and nothing yet
How could you possibly be waiting for CoS for over a month when you were talking of writing PTE/IELTS last week..

If your firm has not asked you for any English Language certificate, nobody has started your CoS process

Na wa ooo...these people are weird Shaa. This lady was wowing and woahing doing the interview, started to talk about them not offering payment during their compulsory eight day induction training and whether it will be a problem for me, me I said no. Then she said she'd meet with her colleague that afternoon...and until now...blankkk. God will help me. It's interesting to find a care home that did not specify the IELTS, as yours did. Congrats to you.
Have you sent her a mail or try to call her?
TravelRe: UK Skilled Worker Visa / Health And Care Worker Visa / Qualified Teacher Route by Emurate1: 12:26pm On Apr 21, 2022
Ijyoma:
Again, do they send rejection emails after interview or will they just bone the interviewee? So many things confuse me.
It's been four days now since the interview and I don't know whether I should be agitated, because she's specifically said she will meet with her colleagues that afternoon. And I've heard people on YouTube talk about receiving offer fifteen minutes later and CoS in two days?? Understandably, things could be different now...but I want to know the common timeline for care homes with regards to job offers.
CoS in 2 days recently? That might be 2-3 months ago
TravelRe: UK Skilled Worker Visa / Health And Care Worker Visa / Qualified Teacher Route by Emurate1: 12:25pm On Apr 21, 2022
Ijyoma:
Please what's the typical timeline for a care home to give you an offer? And by giving offer is it by mouth at first or they just send you the email with the contract to sign. What's the time line? I also just saw that you said they only sent a mail transferring you to their solicitor for CoS application, does it mean that they were waiting for you to send your IELTS first?
Concerning the timeline. It depends on the care home.
First care home told me during the interview that I have been accepted. I have not gotten an offer letter from them yet. Over 4 weeks.

Second care home, after the interview they told me I'll get a response from them the next day. I got my offer letter the next day.
There's no particular way that it's done.

Concerning the IELTS. They didn't know if I have written IELTS or not. We never talked about it. They just asked me for my English language qualification outrightly

Hello house.
Thank you for this thread.
Please I need your reply and clarifications on how to go by it.

I studied English Education with a master in Public Administration . Please, Where do I fit in the UK health and care worker or other skilled occupations in the UK ?

Although, am passionate about working as a social worker and read a lot on social work. I have interest in care giving/advocacy, but because it is not selling in Nigeria, l had to abandon master in social work for a Master in Public Administration .

My work experience has been Teaching with ten years experience.
So, which path do I follow?

Thank you in anticipation for your responses
UK is also actively recruiting teachers. I don't know much about it, but there are lots of content concerning that on YouTube

https://uktiersponsors.co.uk/

Check if they are in this list before applying. Some are on this list but may tell you that they are currently not recruiting from overseas.

Nobody has that direct information you are looking for. You apply and pray that luck will be on your side.

Icesnow:
kindly tell us the name of the care home

You are responsible for payment of the immigration suncharge. Paying on your behalf and deductingbfrom your salary is doing you a favour. Your annual renumeration looks okay too.
This is false. The immigration skills charge is £364 for small sponsors. £364*3 years=£1,092. According to UKGOV the employer is meant to make that payment.

There is a difference between Health Surcharge and Immigration skill charge.
As a care worker, you are exempted from the Health Surcharge when applying for Visa.

Akanniaelde, your salary is good. If I were you, I'd go ahead and accept the deal if they insist that you must refund them.

Hi everyone,
We've been following this thread and it really has been helpful.

Please we need clarity on these positions. Is there a difference between the senior carer and the healthcare assistant positions based on their visa duration?

Someone said that as a healthcare assistant, we'll get just one year visa which we'll have to apply for extension from within UK while the senior carer visa is for 5 years....

Please how true, should we really for any reason target the senior carer positions and not the healthcare assistants?

***My brother has no background in nursing but has completed the mandatory care Certificate training and is assisting at a hospital.
Your visa depends on the years of contract your employer states on your CoS. It has nothing to do with Senior Carer or HCA.

Good morning everyone, pls I need help, as I was doing my IELTS registration using my phone, I didn't take note of the computer base and paper base option, it was at the end of the registration that I saw computer base test.

The problem is that I am not too proficient in typing and I have written British council to change it to paper base. but, is been more than 5 days no response from.

I want to know if anyone has experience anything like that, can they change it or not.
Did you try to call them? Such important matters, you should be contacting them through phone calls

I'm talking about the CoS and I'm talking from people's experience on other forums. I didn't even say 8 weeks, keyword was "up to 8 weeks"
How long does Certificate of Sponsorship take? That was the question. Not how long does increasing allocation take. The first statement in that image already answered the guy's question. A company that is still applying to increase their allocation won't tell you that they have applied for your CoS.

Are you sure your employer has already applied for your CoS? Because I have been waiting for the same thing, only for them to send a mail recently, transferring me to their solicitor to begin the CoS process.
