Thanks for your response

Yes, it is allowed. This is similar to my case as I'm currently waiting for my course end date to elapse b4 I can switch. It is called the 28-day rule. See what the rule says:

S3.10. Once a worker has been granted permission, they should normally start working in their sponsored employment no later than 28 days after whichever is the latest of:

1). the start date on their CoS (taking into account any changes to that date reported by you before their application for entry clearance or permission was decided)
2). the “valid from” date on the worker’s entry clearance vignette (visa)
the date the worker is granted permission to enter, if they entered the UK without entry clearance under the Creative Worker visa concession
3) the date the worker is notified of a grant of entry clearance or permission to stay.”

No.3 applies to you, assuming you are yet to apply for your visa. You can enter the uk and start working within 28 days after your visa is granted.

Cheers!

Everybody please, hope I won't be affected by this rule.

My vignette reads valid from 14th September but I got notified on 17th September. Now, I had an issue with my health which has prevented me from travelling before now. I've improved, and think I can now travel but want to travel next weekend and resume work on 16th October. That's because I need to rest a little more for few days to be able to make such a long journey.

Considering the date I got notified of a decision (which was 17th September), the 28 days will lapse on 15th October which is a Sunday. Hope there will be no issue if I resume work on 16th October which is a Monday?

Please has anyone been able to successfully pay for priority service? How did you do it because it's showing the fee in pounds (250).

Is it possible to pay for the priority service in Nigeria and get a decision in one week?

You better leave someone else’s experience and face your own. You must declare all visa denials, approvals or ban. I don’t understand your reason to hopefully conceal it. Your visa will be approved even if u have a ban in another country as long as u are being truthful.

I was thinking it may have a negative effect on current application. Thanks for clarifying.

Well, I don’t think it’s necessary. Because I applied for US visa in 2016 and I was denied. I didn’t mention it on my UK visa application and I was granted a visa last month

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience.
