Finally someone who wrote Duolingo English Test. I always wonder why Nigerians like writing IELTS when alot of schools in the US, Australia, Canada and UK accept Duolingo. Its even cheaper - 17700 to IELTS 79K or so- and more convenient. You write it in the comfort of your bedroom.
That's what I wrote. I don't like stress.
Oh, and congrats

3 years preregistration nursing is for those without health care experience. They won't ask you to fill a work port folio if you go for it. Mine is two years . So they go for the interview so you get acquainted with how to answer admission interview questions. Apply to Bournemouth Uni. Their work port folio is quite easy and they didn't even require IELTS from me and my WAEC is 10 yrs old. I Finished mine in 2 weeks. although I didn't take their offer. @Newbie123 why give up? Nursing is quite competitive and they want the best hence the selection processes.
I got a lot of emails rejecting me application but that didn't stop me.

Safeob27:
Okay sis /bro …that would be nice
To be honest I’m just attending the Dundee interview to have an idea on what the interview process is like ..3 years is too long
Although I think they give 5k scholarship

Maybe they later withdrew the application or they decided that since you wanted to cancel afterall why bother issuing you a visa? Try emailing or calling them.

Was the opening balance up to the required POF?there are different opinions on how this works but I can tell you that when my brother applied he didn't even run a transaction before during and after. Money wasn't even touched and he still got his visa. Someone else might say otherwise. If you haven't gone for biometrics, go with the one you want and pay for assisted upload.

Mikool101:
Please @justwise @luchibianca @akporokodaughter and any other gurus in the house i have uploaded my my bank statement last week, but this morning I decided to check again when it was sent to a friend. I requested for a period between 9/11/21 - 8/12/21 which is 30 days on Dec 9,2021. The opening balance date which suppose to be Nov 9 was not reflected, then the transaction on the bank statement started from Nov 10 to Dec 7. Please do the visa officer check the period I requested for printing between Nov 9 - Dec 8 or they check only the transaction dates between 10 - Dec 7. Thank you.

Don't think it really matters because they are asking of dependants so they clarify that you have enough funds to cover for them. However since they will applying alongside your wife, you can write an explanation during her application.
hazzaman:
Hello House.

I really want to clarify an issue at hand and I would be more than happy if the gurus in the house can help me out.

I am the main applicant and I have 2 dependants ( my wife and son). I have 2 POF in my name, one is sufficient for myself and the other is sufficient for my dependants.
I did my biometric on 8th of Dec because my wife passport wasn’t ready due to change of name. Fortunately she got her passport on Monday after waiting for 6 month and she did her TB test yesterday.

The second PoF( for the dependants matured same Monday). I would like to know if my dependants can apply for visa immediately despite that I choose NO when ask if my dependants will be travelling with me to the UK. Don’t forget I submitted the first POF that covers my own fee and maintenance. I chose NO because her passport and TB test wasn’t ready as at the day I did my biometric.

Please I really need to know the implication of applying for them now despite the fact that I chose NO and also I haven’t receive any decision on my application.

Cc: Justwise, Babababy, Aprokodaughter and others that I didn’t mention their names.

only Wolverhampton and LHU are cheapest for SW. Wolverhampton is strict on having 2.1 applicants only. LHU can be flexible but they admit a small number so prepare for interview well.

The question they asked us for the written test was : why is socoal justice important to a social worker.
Oral interview was. Speak for 5 minutes on the challenges a social worker face. What is social justice. Importance of social justice. Why social Work. Why LHU. Principles of SW. Just YouTube social Work questions for uk admission interview.
You will most likely be asked case scenario questions like if you come across so and so what would you do? They always ask about social justice in SW interviews. Try and understand what it is. my interview for Lincoln I was asked to differentiate between social justice and human rights.I was even asked to quite any UK law I know. Lol. Thanks to my Nursing interviews and submsiison of work port folio I know UK health laws.
I'm going out now but will write more on the questions I got from the 3 unis I did SW interviews.

Tier 4 student in the UK. You're no longer restricted under 20hrs work limit anymore, provided you pick up care job.

Our commitment is far beyond securing a Visa but to make you comfortable once you're in the UK by getting and linking you up with a reliable CARE job once you get to the UK.

So the news is as long as you are doing the CARE job, you can now work indefinitely.

Good Evening Everyone..

To all the gurus I appreciate your selfless efforts advicing, solving issues and giving tips to several people who don't have such info. I do APPRECIATE you all.

I heard something and will like to find out how true it is. Its a fact that students have 20hours to work in a week but I heard that if you work with NHS or you do any care job( for social workers or health related students) your employee can file unlimited hours for you.

Has anyone heard of such or is someone currently doing such?

Is it backed up by law? If yes can you share a link to such info.

I will appreciate if all top top guys on here can lend a voice.

Thank you.

Bournemouth University has September intake but have the uncanny habit of putting you on the wait list. Apply anyway, you might be lucky. UCLAN, Plymouth, Oxford Brookes. Derby, Canterbury Christchurch. Start applying now. A few of them you may need to apply through UCAS. I advise you apply to as many as possible to increase your chances. Good luck.

Hello fams! This is a cry for help!!!
Apparently, I was suppose to apply to Hertfordshire for next September for Msc in Mental Health nursing. I delayed a bit because of financial constraints.
Now that I am ready to apply, they are fully booked for nursing next year.

Please I need help with list of schools that allows International students to study the course with tuition fee below 15k pounds and will accept at most 3k pounds for first deposit.
Lastly, the school needs to be close to London, 2hrs drive at most.

I will really appreciate your help.

You would still be treated as unvaccinated so long you are not double vaccinated before arrival to the UK. At this point if quarantine is lifted for fully vaccinated, you would need to quarantine on arrival because you are not fully vaccinated.

If she's the main applicant it means you and the kids are applying as her dependant so the money should be in her account. That's the reason they keep asking you questions related to the main applicant.

There's a caveat. It's best poster finds out from his school. 6 months will be termed as a short course even if they are awarding Msc at the end of the course. And for short term course you need a student visitor visa. Only students on general students visa are qualified for PSW.
Please write to your school and ask what visa you will applying for.

He is qualified for the 2 years post graduate visa. The requirement according to the UKVI is 12 months course or the duration of the course, whichever is shorter

Success2Success:
Good morning guys.

I need your expert advice.

I am currently filling the visa application form for our kids.

My wife is the applicant and the POF in her account is only for her but the POF in my own account is enough for the entire family including her.

We have submitted her application and we stated that she is not responsible for any dependant financially but we are all travelling together - Hope her POF that is only for her won't be an issue? Or does she need to go with my own POF (not yet 28 days), to show as evidence that the kids will be catered for?

On filling the Child dependant visa form, I linked it to her application since they asked for her CAS and course details, does this mean that her POF should reflect enough funds for the kids or I should link them to my own application? I tried linking them to mine, but they asked applicant's specific questions which makes it difficult for me.

Thanks

York, Bath, Cambridge, Oxford, Essex, Brighton are some of England's most expensive cities to live in. Poster should apply to other schools Since the poster missed Jan intake. Theres plenty of time.

Very tough. I applied for social work at Liverpool Hope and Manchester Metropolitan University and Lincoln University and adult nursing for two other Uni. For social work (Liverpool Hope and Man Met) it's a written test and oral interview. YouTube has videos to help you how to answer oral interview questions for social Work. Be ready to burn data.Lincoln was just oral interview but it was tougher than other oral interviews. Passed both Man Met and Lincoln interview. For Liverpool Hope I passed the oral interview but failed the written test. However it was my first Social work interview so I just prepared for the rest and passed. The written test is all about using your initiative and unpredictable because you don't even know where to read from . I ended up going for Adult Nursing tho. Goodluck.
