Osa0:
Haha!!!! My 4 yr old, always outspoken,almost put me in trouble back home, baba will ask police "why do you people always collect fuel money from my papa" 😂 😆

Lol...😆 You're lucky to have such a brilliant and 💪🏾brave kid. Please treat him specially.😊

Osa0:
First pray for grace, then get used to your reason of coming and all data surrounding. Mine was pretty easy. Why are you here and where does your wife work? As I intend to explain my 6 Year old son shouted. " Oh ! Daddy am tired,what does this man want?"Next thing the immigration guy said sorry young Buddy, then he stamped our passport and said Welcome to London.

WOW! Your little boy saved the day!😃 Guess everyone travelling with a kid has to start giving them orientation to do same at the POE.😉

Please elders in the house, I need your advice.


My dream has always been to work in the lab as a medical lab scientist. Due to some factors, I couldn’t get admitted into the course in Nigeria, I had to study medical biochemistry.


The conversion course was also stopped in Nigeria so I couldn’t move over.


Now, I will be resuming in UK for MSc Biotechnology next month, I have the following questions, please:


1. Is it still worth it pursuing a conversion to Biomedical Science practice in the UK? Is it possible?


2. If yes, how? Are there courses and internship to take to join IBMS, and eventually HCPC so I am ready to take on NHS roles immediately after graduation.


3. Or should I just fully pursue Biotechnology which seems to have limited opportunities and sponsorship in the UK compared to Biomedical Science.



Note: The only time I practiced biomedical science was during my IT in Nigeria few years ago. But I have worked in the health/wellness awareness space ever since graduation.



Thanks a lot

Don't over worry yourself, just get in first. If you're unable to get a good professional job after graduation, then join the care sector as a med lab assistant, care assistant or support worker & work your way up; what matters most is to have a legitimate job.🤷🏾‍♂️

Everybody take note.

kdf3449:
Its very confusing you know. Someone advised that i swear an affidavit of fact or parenthood ( nothing person no go hear for visa matter lol ), the affidavit will state that i and my wife has been the one catering for my daughter for the past 5yrs. Then i should attach letter of maintenance stating that we are both capable to cater for her wellbeing and that we have sole responsibility over her, then attach bank statement. I don't know if this will be of help the situation

Please gurus in the house should come to my aid.
@advanceDNA

Why don't you get those docs Mofolam listed for you? She clearly stated you shouldn't use an ordinary affidavit, and I'm sure she advised based on her recent experience.🤷🏾‍♂️

Hello. A friend asked me this question which I couldn't answer. Kindly assist with any relevant answer(s) if there are any.
-----------------
Please, I have the Caredemy 1-15 standard care courses and 12 certified care courses from Florence Academy but I am always getting "unfortunately messages". I am thinking of doing some level 3 NVQ courses if that can boost my CV. So, please, I need advice on what to do and which NVQ level 3 program I can register for if necessary. What do you think I can do?
--------------------
Thanks in anticipation for your responses.

Having a million care qualifications will not guarantee a job. Nowadays, it's purely by luck, or by street parole. That's the sad reality!😔

cejo:
Good Day house,pls I need to know if ECCTIS/NARIC conversion via school transcript submittal can be used for admission into nursing program in UK other than IELTS & which is d most accepted.Pls any useful information Abt d enquiry plz oblige me

I don't think so, because UK NMC only approves of IELTS Academic or OET for nursing programmes. But you can also inquire directly from the universities you hope to apply to.

Praktikals:
If my COS reads 3 years, can I apply for 5 years visa or it has to be 3 years visa

Ah ah!😃 You want to use 1 stone & kill all the birds. You can't grab more than your permission, it has to be 3 years.

Praktikals:
Boss, thanks alot for your response. You have given me the much needed clarity.
Pls sir,if you wont say I m asking for too much, I ll like to have your number cos my questions plenty gan and I dont want to make any mistake

Just keep dropping the questions here so that we can all learn.😊

advanceDNA:

Oh u mean baby just arrive .....yes naaa....Pay for 5 suckling child visa ...get 3 free....

Chai God!😆 May you never stop making us to 🤣laugh & be happy! AMEN!

nacozee:
Sorry that I did not update. I eventually cancelled that application. Lots of people adviced to leave it like that and submit my IELTS together with a cover letter explaining what happened. But I had more people advice that I cancel it and start a fresh application. I cancelled it.

Was a tough decision because I already paid for the application. Getting extra fund to reapply was an issue, and the refund can take upto 28 days. However that was what I ended up doing. I cancelled it, and reapplied. In that field where it asked if I had an Certificate equivalent to that in UK I selected No. I have gotten the VISA about a week ago or more.

Thanks everyone for the contributions. Really helpfull

Congratulations!🎉 So have you been refunded your application fee, and how long did it take you to receive it?
PS Scroll back a page or two, someone posted their PoE questions there.

nacozee:
I guess I would just risk it. Would submit my degree and IELTs UKVI during biometrics

Hi, how did this eventually turn out? Please update us.

Mindlog:
It is more of a career I desired, had to take the bold step of re-routing my path towards the field of psychology and had to go re-do a Bachelor degree in it and while in my second year, did a course in child and adolescent psychology, I then made up my mind I was going to specialize in child and adolescent mental health......there are so much career opportunities working with young persons in the UK but most Nigerians who come over to the UK for studies, don't follow the data reason after studies, many still pay for COS to do care jobs.(I don't in any way demean it as it is an honest job).

WOW! What a long journey thru career development. Glad you successfully achieved it.👏🏿
Please take good care of those kids.😊🤗

Mindlog:
Thanks.

Yes, I now work with a child and adolescent mental health and neurodevelopmental assessment services provider.

That's cool. Enjoy your soft work.🤗

viperVIP:
TLS Ikeja didn't open today.
I just wasted my time and money, heading back to my state now in case you're planning to pick up there today.

Argh ah!🙁 But the public holidays ended yesterday na!
Thanks for caring to update us.

Mindlog:
Dem no suppose pay me, say wetin happen?😆😆

I must admit, it wasn't stressful at all and more over I was studying for my Masters in Clinical Child Psychology at the University....as I now recall sitting in the warm lounge, legged crossed over the coffee table and sipping hot coffee while watching Netflix as it snowed outside and me, remembering fellow Nigerian students still struggling with the very miserable 7hrs night shifts at the DHL warehouse I briefly worked in while pursuing the residential support worker role.

Those roles still very much exist but one has to be resilient especially dealing with young ones struggling with one issue or the other, from eating disorder, autism, emotional and behavioural disorders etc .....sha, undergoing such much training is involved. From health and safety, prevention of self harm, food preparation and preservation, medication, child sexual exploitation, reflective journaling, daily temperature checks of the refrigerator, water temperature must be ideal for the young person, the house car must be checked daily, the windows must be checked regularly to make sure no breach as some of those young persons have PhD in escaping from care and by the you realize and calling the police to report a child missing in care, pikin don enter train dey go London.😆😆

You're a good storyteller!👍🏾
Have you been able to get a job as a Clinical Child Psychologist?

Mindlog:
Yes it does. I did it during my student days. 12hrs shifts from 8 pm to 8a.m. Had a young person aged 15 in the house (a building of 4 bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, garage, a conservatory attached to the house. We had 6 support worker,one team leader and one house manager working around that young person who was brought in by the social service.

Mine was to resume at 8p.m to take over from the 2 day staff who worked from 8a.m to 8p.m, one of the staff would go home while the second would stay back and sleep in the staff sleep-in room and would be paid for it. He or she would have been woken up to serve as my backup should there have been any incident that required 2 staff to handle.

As I take over, I will be in the office (converted from the master bedroom) doing the paperwork, checking the sharps (knives, scissors etc) are complete, the money in the safe, the medicine box, the first aid box etc Check the entire house is clean except going to the young person's bedroom as she is always in her room at that time on her phone with her TV on.

I then went to the kitchen and heat up and eat from the meal reserved for me by the day staff after I which I went to the lounge to watch Netflix through the night to keep me awake while intermittently I went up to listen from the door of the young person to ascertain she is sleeping, I got it recorded. I then intermittently go to the kitchen to make coffee and gooble up some snacks;provided by the company.

At about 5 a m, I do a light clean up of the house, make sure the paperwork is updated (though along the line we stopped doing physical paperwork and transited into inputing into a software)

I had my breakfast at about 7a.m and waited for the day shift to come around 7.50a.m and I hand over to them, after which I leave for home....work done!😊😊

This your work soft pass today bread 😲oo! Them no suppose pay you sef, or just pay you in Naira!😂🏃🏿‍♂️

cletz991:
I hate packing shit

Then caregiving job is not for you, shikina!🤷🏾‍♂️

Ola736:
Please explain better sir from your experience
The disadvantage and advantages of using her as the main applicant instead of myself

So you still want your wife to be doing care job while she's heavily pregnant or nursing your own child, while you enjoy yourself as her dependant?!😱🙄 I can't believe this!!!😡

NezzyMike:
A pregnant woman working as a carer Newly employed?? It's better he's the main applicant cus she can't be breastfeeding and handling such job.

Lol! You didn't get the sarcasm in his comment.😄

Solumtoya:
Almost 3kw... Omo, una energy bill go hear am o!

Y'all are big boys sha.

I'm using my £11 fan which I still use as heater during winter. I just turn off the heater during Summer which makes it use negligible power.

Please what's the name of this fan?

[quote author=Baylam post=123959982][/quote]Oh no, this isn't IELTS for UKVI. Sorry, bro.
You'll have to take another one, this time ensure you book the one that has IELTS for UKVI attached to it if you want to use it for this particular visa route.

Baylam:
Hi good morning , Will this band score work for ik skilled visa and how do I know if this is for UKVI

The results would fly only if it was IELTS for UKVI. You should've also shown the top of the webpage above your name in the screenshot where the IELTS type is displayed.

MsLane:
Hi @Nwokiwu90

Any update? I hope positive or some sort of communication.

Just to encourage you that my application has been pending for 8weeks now.

Chai! This isn't funny! But it's well. It shall end in your favour soon.🙏🏿

CERTAINLY WHAT GOD CAN NOT NOT DO DOES NOT EXIST!!!

I don't know why someone would pay huge amounts of money to British Council for an English test, for a visa application, and they would choose to delay and frustrate the person, even when they claim they could deliver in few days!😡
