NezzyMike:



It takes 7 weeks but yours was up to 12 weeks that's why I'm surprised. Did they send you a message for it's collection?

Is not 7weeks but 7-10weeks. They usually send email. I have to call them after the 10th week for my result before they mail me. So, I took additional two weeks to travel to get my certificate because I was busy.

NezzyMike:



Why did the TB cert take so long?

I took sputum

chubbyman:

Congratulations, do they conduct interviews after biometrics now for skilled worker visa

In many cases, it means the visa is approved but wait to get letter from Ukvi.

I just received a follow up mail this night from Home office.

It has been approved.

How do you know when visa is approved or not? Does everyone gets the same message

SoNature:
The winner of the Nigerian Premier League gets N150 million. If they can increase it to N500 million, I see private people getting involved and state governors building better sporting facilities. Enugu Rangers is definitely winning this league.

You think prize money for winning trophies is the reason why private firms buy clubs?

Dybaladaddy:


How long after your biometrics date did they schedule you for interview?

Almost 15 working days.

Will the labour strike affect TLs Contact centers for those who have already been scheduled for visa interview?

Thanks. What do you mean by C/O list? Secondly if they are allowed to extend their tenure for 6 months only, how is it going to aid their course?

C/o = care takers

Your send question; they will keep extending their tenures until Fubara gets tired and negotiate with them.

Jodybarton:
All of a sudden fubara is a saint to you because he's fighting wike, you see your mentality you don't mind if he's corrupt so long he's fighting who you don't like that's okay by you. Idiots everywhere

Who is more corrupt between them?

A man that cornered almost the state assets to himself. The panel will retrieve all those properties back especially old NDDC at Aba Road, SEC building along CFC, all the civil servants quarters at Opobo crescent in GRA, Hostel K (Rivers state University off campus hostel for engineering students) and several of the states properties he collected.

didymario7:
Someone should kindly explain why they are trying to extend their stay beyond 3 years?

Because Wike wants to keep his people at the LGA level because he can't influence C/O list anymore.

BondRiv:
Fubara is the one causing this crisis with his desire to appoint unconstitutional caretaker chairmen. Caretaker chairmen are illegal. People are just cherry picking illegality.

What are the plans for the conduct of local government election in Rivers State? Why is the empty drum Fubara afraid of local government election?
These chairmen are going nowhere without an election. They will appeal to the supreme court. Everybody will choose what they want. Even then, they may not leave, if the governor wants to foist illegal caretaker chairmen on the LGAs.

Shut up!!!

Interview bawo

Is that the new format now

Meanwhile what type of job is it

Health and care worker

None of the above. Is a skilled job

godslead:

I guess they need more clarifications. Where did you do your biometrics?

Abuja

I am a little bit confused. I went for Biometrics on the 2nd of May 2024, I was supposed to resume work on the 1st of June. They sent a mail last week that my visa processing is still with them and it will take 15 working days from the date they received it (3rd of May 2024 as a confirmation mail was sent on that to me) to make a decision (should be any time this week from my calender)

They just sent me another mail for an interview with them on the 4th of June at Abuja VAC.

This is kind of confusing to be honest.

Am I the only one on this table?

I received this mail just this morning, what does ti mean?

Ur host??
Is this a visit visa??


Anyways.....u can risk it....I don't think it's a serious issue.....someone else may think otherwise though........if the ECO is considerate, they may ask for ur passport via NSF email ....or just ask TLS to scan it to them

....me I go risk am oooo


But If u don't want to risk it and u have money to another application u can cancel it and do another....But u may not get a refund because u have done biometrics and the application may have been opened .....but if u are lucky the application has not been attended to...u will get a refund.....


Ball is in your court

Is not a visitor visa but work visa. Just my sibling address I will stay when I arrive

Zakikaki:


My brother/My sister, this same desperation has landed a lot of people over here in depression. Licences have been revoked and people are beyond stranded. I had to pay rent for 3 months for a family of 4 who came here after the husband paid for COS and never got a single shift, the wife got a job as a cleaner but the hours could basically only take care of groceries and energy bill. In January they found out the licence of the company had been revoked and they got a letter from home office early in March to leave in 60 days. Wife is back to Naija with the kids, husband is still around desperately looking for COS. Whatever you do, don't ever buy COS. Continue to apply. What is yours is yours and will come at the right time.

I hope he listens to you. There are other routes he can use to travel including tier 5 which is basically not expensive.

roak:
Anyone in the same boat? Anyone with COS given before 4th April and only just making use of it for visa processing? Guidance Needed 👇🏾

My COS was issued March 28th; just before the new rules of 4th April....SOC changed as well based off new rules....Now my question is, when inputting my SOC on the visa form, do I follow the old SOC code stated on my COS, or do I search for the new code and fill the new code?

Anyone in same boat. How did you go about yours?

What's the new rules?

Hi guys, I made a huge mistake when uploading my documents. I mistakenly uploaded my partner's passport instead of the one of my host but I included her (host) Council tax. What should i do now. I have already submitted the form and done biometrics.

Hello everyone,

Can someone please point me to the right source/organization to get a caregiver job offering COS for a single male with some caregiver experience in Nigeria. All applications made online came back negative regarding sponsorship. Please any help will be appreciated, thank you.

LadyExcellency:


Because APC Governors led by Amaechi wanted it shared against all pleas by Dr Ngozi Okonjo Iweala. Blame the progressive Governors, not Jonathan. Our Excess Crude Account was jointly opened by States and the Federal Government.

I hope you should know the bone of contention it has nothing to do with foreign reserves. It was excess crude account not foreign reserves

Critics are saying the motive of that road will end at Phase one (47km of Eko to Lekki Deep sea port) which is the original intention of the FG taken over what Lagos state Government had wanted to construct (Lekki Seaport access road). The concern is, if you guys are sincere, other technical aspect of the Jobs would have started in other sections.

The people don't want to be lead into a dubious project in the name of 700km when we know, they won't even complete the 47km in 4yrs time.

Minister Umahi should spare us this sermon and look concentrate on more urgent projects like the Bonny-Bodo Road which contractors have left site because of variations caused by same Govt he is (fx).

I am still waiting for my sputum samples test result. This is the 10th week and no news from them. I sent them an email last 2weeks and their response was that the result is not yet ready.

I have a decision to make in next two weeks and to be honest, that call from them about the result will help me a lot in deciding my next step.

Milito:
Visa Approval After 2 previous refusals

Time Lines
1st Refusal 2018
Reason - Lodgement
I had an Inflow from ajo.

2nd Refusal 2023
Reason- Lodgment & salary inconsistency

ECO was lazy and didn't review the account statement properly as salary was consistently received from employer with the correct month tag.

I also provided detailed explanation of all the other inflows; I guess the letter was not even looked at as no reference was made to it. Instead, the ECO was giving contradictory reasons.

I wrote a complaint on this application, which was not treated fully till date. Only received email that it may take a longer period to treat the complaint. I should have done a PAP instead of a complaint as evidence abound that the application was not reviewed properly.

2024 Application
Submission date: 2nd April
Biometrics date: 3rd April (flexi)
Application under consideration email: 8th April
TLS Ready for collection email: 22nd April.
Entry clearance granted.

Things done differently this time around
1. After last year's refusal, travelled to France instead and provided this information among other additional travel history.
2. I kept account sparkling clean (only salary).
3. I reduced my spend budget from the £6,000 I used last year to £3,000 this time around. I was able to achieve this by booking a far cheaper hotel.
4. I submitted Tax Clearance and Pension Account Statement, which clearly shows the name of my employer, since my employment was doubted on the previous application.
5. Ensured my employer status is active on CAC.
6. I made the application pretty easy to understand and straightforward by merging similar documents into PDF files and creating a table of content as previously shared on this platform by corpershun.
7. I also uploaded all the documents by myself ensuring they all follow an easily understood pattern and even saved the documents with names that provides the info in it at one glance.

A big thank you to all the folks freely providing information on this platform.

Congratulations

Hi, I did at St Nicholas.

Result is after 24hrs but I didn't even wait, I just printed my result online

You got your TB result online?

Very true
Department of Microbiology is at Ofrima and If my memory serves me right should be the 3rd floor.
