Yes & No

Yes if it's a standard skilled visa u can be employed by pwc, Nestle, tech companies...any employer with standard sponsored licence ....


No .....if it's care visa, especially if not issued by the NHS

oluayebenz:


Firstly if the application is legit

The application no should start with W123456 something
If student visa, application no will start with S
Visit visa, application no start with V.

The email am seeing is not even legit.

Reason why I'm asking to know if the person has went for biometric enrollment

oluayebenz:


Give us more info....

Did your friend apply for work visa?
Has he went for biometric?

It's the email and application number for me 😁😁😁😊

OGINNISM1234:


English proficiency test is a MUST. Be it skilled worker or health work.

It now depends on you the way you want to prove your English proficiency.

UKVI accepts any of the following listed here.

https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/knowledge-of-english

(My honest opinion) ===If you are a BSc holder and you have funds, BSc degree certificate, letter from your school stating that you were taught in English and your official transcript. And you want to do a care Job, just go for NARIC evaluation. Save yourself the headache of IELTS.

dracarysss:
Hello house. Great news!!
Visa alert for my children (child dependent visa)
Biometric date: June 28th (for everyone)
BRP collection mail: 12th July (MA and husband)

I made the difficult decision to travel leaving my family behind so that I could meet up. I have cried until I couldn’t anymore.

4 paid emails
10 paid calls
2 escalations (4th August, 19th August)

Last paid call on 25th August, this call was funny because after narrating everything that has happened, we were both quiet for about 30 seconds and the person at the other end said “that’s not right , a child doesn’t have to wait so long for this. I will not give you a timeline , I am sending an urgent email as we speak. Expect a feedback very soon”

Visa alert this morning at 9am! Honestly I am so happy. Before heading to work today I prayed again. God has done it.

To my fellow May and June applicants I use myself as a point of contact that yours will be approved ASAP. Have a great day everyone.

Hello

Pls is it possible to study at glyndwr university,northern Wales and live in say Liverpool...as i am considering the school for masters research but the town doesn't look lively,so I am considering staying in a nearby city e.g Liverpool??




@duchess,justwise,
Good morning dear please you mean glyndwr university, northern Wales offers master research(the route that allow someone to travel with his/her dependant right), please my husband is a Bsc holder in business administration can he find his related course in the research master, he was refused visa on July so we are planning to reapply for January intake🙏🏻

cristalmedia:
Visa alert....
"God has done it...
My journey started last year for the September intake, but the Nigeria Immigration didn't release my renewed passport on time. As a result, I deferred my admission to the January intake. In October-November, I ran my Proof of Funds (POF) for CAS and VISA applications. At the point of CAS collection, the school asked for an additional £5,500, even though I had already made an initial payment of £3,500. The school's decision destabilized me, as they hadn't informed me beforehand. I requested a refund and moved on.
I received another admission offer in January from a different school and began another POF process for CAS and VISA applications in April. I had to retake the TB test because the one I did last year had expired.
I received the CAS on 24/05, completed my biometrics on 31/05, and an empty NSF on 07/06. That's when the waiting started...

I escalated the issue for the first time on 27/06, and faced another empty NSF on 29/06. I escalated again on 19/07 and for a third time in August.
During the waiting period, the school contacted me, stating they wanted to withdraw my CAS since I was supposed to start in June. I made numerous paid calls and sent emails to ukvi.
God came through for me, and I was scheduled for an interview on 14th August. To the glory of God, I received the collection mail on 22nd August."

I survived 3 escalation, 2 NSF and 1 interview...

Special thanks to @Ebimona, @Cashmadam, @Duchess90 and every guru contribution on this platform...
For all those waiting for decision, I will personally be interceding for you. Surely their is light at the end of the tunnel...
I now understand what is means to wait

What shall I render
to Jehovah,
for He has done so very much for me x2
Jesus did it...

duchess90:
Hello

Every application will be assessed on its own merit. If he meets the criteria and addresses the concerns from the refusal he will be fine

2. I can only think of Coventry and Warwick Uni around West Midlands, there will be more if you do a bit of research

Cheers

duchess90:
Hello

A lot of people have made comments /given advise

Is there anything else you need?

Cheers

VISA UPDATE

Honestly, first of all I want to use this medium to tell everyone that applying for a UK visa is all God...

I applied for a UK visa 31st July
Biometrics 1st August
Priority

I received empty NSF the following day

Priority days passed and I have not received decision yet

I began to feel worried because of all the issues on ground

I waited for good 15 working days until I was told that I will be doing an interview after I have done 6 paid calls asking for decision

I was mentally stressed and depressed while awaiting decision for my student visa

Finally I attended the interview

And I was asked the following questions:

Interview questions


How are you feeling today?

What's your name?

And your date of birth

What's your mother's name?

Her date of birth also?

How is the weather like in Nigeria today?


Why did you choose to study this course?

Why did you choose to study in the UK?

Did you also check other countries before choosing the UK?

What can you say about your course?

Why did you want to study project management?

What can you say about Northumbria university?


What module in your course are you looking forward to in learning when you get there?

What are your aspirations in the future?

Are you comfortable with the interview and how it was conducted?

Do you have any questions?

Alright that will be the end of the interview,have a nice day?

The following day my application was moved to VAC

The next day collection mail and to God be the glory my vignette was looking pretty on my passport today

What I can deduce is that the ukvi department are really looking into not allowing people come in with other motives other than the reasons for either student or visiting

So they take times to do checks and this in return gives people headache as they have spent alot in their application which is non refundable
.

For everyone who is still expecting a decision,God will do your own for you and you will look back and say these times have passed

Thanks everyone for the answers to my interview questions as well

I got most of them here

Thank you.

Cashmadam:


I'm so sorry. Must be very traumatic for both of you.

I haven't heard about a refusal for student visa in a very long time. Something went terribly wrong.

Can you ask for a transcript of the interview? You need to know what he did wrong (or did not do right) so that he can avoid making the same (or a similar) mistake again. Calm down and don't start making plans for another student visa until you have more information about the refusal.

Mayflowa:


Sorry! UK hardly deny any applicant o. Don't allow your husband go alone. It might be years before unification or never. Sorry I am blunt. Except you want to gamble on the risk. You need to apply to research masters. That way you can follow your husband even if you have to wait till August next year. But you also need to know and address the reason you were refused visa! Goodluck next time.

Adebiyifunmi:
I’m so sorry about the refusal sis…You can try University of Law,It is also located in Birmingham

Osasle:



I feel something must be wrong somewhere in the last application for UKVI to have stated that they don't think your husband is a genuine student. Please make efforts to do a critical review of his educational and employment history including that of the documents submitted to support the application, to prepare well for the new visa application. Remain strong for there will surely be light at the end of the tunnel.

adeblow:

Try Ulster University in Birmingham

headofschool:
You got nsf before the refusal?

You got nsf before the refusal?

abogjohn:

AvailableD:
You will need IELTS or ECCTIS

MumiOlivia:


What's your program choice?

Bobomaigida:

Pls how will I reach you?

Hi Ijay,

This process is best done by yourself, so you can know the intricacies. Since you are just starting, you need do alot research to know what to do and how to do it. That being said,
Since you want to go for masters' what was your CGPA in your undergraduate degree?
When did you graduate? If you have been working, what is your present occupation?
How much is your budget for the process, does your budget have cap or not?
Apart from your husband, do you have other dependents (Children)?
These are preliminary questions to help determine what you need for the process.
