Hello

Can you back to the same page you booked your appointment, you should be able to reschedule it

2. If it's difficult is the IOM far from you? You might want to try to physically visit the office and get it rescheduled

Cheers

Thanks was able to reschedule

Good afternoon Gurus, pls can someone guide me on how to reschedule my TB appointment. Thanks

A close relative was in a similar situation last year. She started her course in September 21 and got a sponsorship job 3 months later. Her sponsor knew she was on a student visa, still new in the country but didn’t see it as a problem. I recall she queried about the 3 month timeline in the UKVI guideline but her sponsor clarified that it wouldn’t affect her application.

She got her COS, applied and was granted a 5 year Tier 2 visa in February. She is now working full time, still studying albeit on a different visa category. Judging from her outcome, I’ll say it’s possible to switch while you’re a student as long as you meet the requirements.

Be aware that no one here can tell you what your outcome will be as every case differ. I’ll advise that you speak to your sponsor about your concerns. This is what my relative did and her employer was more than happy to assist her throughout the process.

God bless you
Thank you.

reach out to kode12 i believe.. i think somewhat same situation with yours

Ok thanks alot

giselle237:
you have been answered severally on this.. do seek immigration solicitor’s advice at this point to clear all doubts

Yes I have been answered,just a little bit scared. Thanks anyways

Good evening gurus, if as a student in the UK and your program hasn't ended and you get an employer who is willing to give sponsorship to switch to tier 2 , can the student accept? Are their implications?
Thanks

Bourne007:
The rules are if no placement is gotten, it automatically reduces to a year for you to then start your project. So I see no reason why it can't be .. . Just email your respective schools that you now prefer to start project immediately and no longer interested in placements and see what they say

Just the same way some students ask for placements and get additional 1 year

Thank you God bless you

Bourne007:
Yes way better as explained by @mizGene (if all goes as expected)

I'm assuming your 2nd year is a placement, if it was me and I get the dependant visa, I will reduce my studies to a one year and get it out of the way.

Can a 2 years course be reduced to 1year course pls?
Yes the 2nd year is for placement.
Thanks

Hello,

Not at all, this is a very interesting situation

Did they provide COS?

Is the person working full-time and studying full-time??

See attached a screenshot advising 3months and a long-winded link you can read to get more information
That was why I advised the person can start part time 20hrs and switch towards the end of masters so that employment link is not lost.Alot of companies say no problems but don't know the rules or how to go about it.

My opinion though

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/appendix-student



Cheers

COS provided, and he doesn't want to abandon his studies, though we advised him to write to the school for part time studies. Waiting for school reply.

We just want to be sure we are on the right track/path.

Thanks for your detailed response and your time.

Hello,

Your masters is barely 6months if I am correct.

With skilled workers visa you need to have 3months left to conclude your masters before you can apply.
The HR in the company knows exactly what the criteria is/are, it is also a point based systems on their part with them issuing a COS.

You may start working with the company on a part time basis of 20hrs per week and hopefully switch when it is time

Cheers

Pls don't get angry, the said person said this to the employer who wishes to give tier 2 that he start date was January and the course 2years and they said no problem.

[quote author=sniperaz post=113188730]Your tier 2 sponsorship category has lesser restrictions. There is no restriction to pursue a university degree while you're on tier 2. However, you must consider that you need to be doing full time work if you're on tier 2. And depending on individual university, they will only offer part time studies to students with settles stays. Your tier 2 visa is not in the settled category. Having said that, like i said, its down to individual university to make that call.

In summary, from a HO perspective, you're not breaking any lay and it doesn't impact on your status in any way or the future applications of your dependents.
From the school perspective, it depends on the individual school if they want to take you on a tier 2 visa to their part time study. the reason why they will say no most times is part time studies can drag for more than 2 years, so what happens if you dot have a visa for the remaining period of your study?
I'm not sure if any school will be willing to take you on a full time study when they know you're on a tier 2 visa category.

i hope this is clear..

The said person who is switching from tier 4 to tier 2 is barely 6months in the UK and the course is for 2years, I'm asking if this person can switch now or not.

Thanks

Hello

This will help guide responses to your question

Cheers

Masters pls
The course is for 2years, and it started January 2022.

Just scared if there will be any implications or not.
Thank you

Very clear sir. Thanks

If I understand what you enquire, one of your concern is continue with studies or not.

Gurus and elders had clarified this on this thread. I can't recall the page.
However, just to chip in, the UK Gov explicitly allows you. Also, most universities clarifies this.

[https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa]
What you can and cannot do
With a Skilled Worker visa you can:
- work in an eligible job
- study
- ... ...

Overview from Gov.uk
A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer.
This visa has replaced the Tier 2 (General) work visa.

KCL (Kings College) emphasise that you “must intend to work”. Invariably, working becomes primary and study secondary! Ditto, the reverse

USW (South Wales) goes further to put beyond doubt
If you are in the UK in a work related immigration category..., you may undertake study that fits around your work. There is no condition which prohibits study. Therefore you are free to undertake part time or full time study whilst you are working. You should however be mindful of the following issues:
Work/study balance ... ...
Length of the course and visa expiration date ...
Leaving and re-entering the UK ...
What do you intend to do afterwards? ...


Kindly note that a number of UK universities have not updated their websites: Tier 2, Tier 4, Tier 5!!

Thank you sir.

Good evening gurus, in a situation where a student on tier 4 visa is about switching to tier 2 visa and still want to continue her studies will it be possible? And what are the advantages and disadvantages. What positive or negative effect will tier 2 visa have on the students dependants still in Nigeria?

Pls make everyone advice us pls.

Thank you

Queengold1:
There is a way you ask tactically.
For example during interviews state that you will need a sponsorship certificate as you are in Africa. Or when they are slating you for interview you can reply the interview mail saying you are from nigeria and is the timing UK time or African time. Sha use brain dey tell them but during your interview state clearly when they ask you if you have questions that you will be needing COs if you pass

Thank you so much

Please gurus I want some classification, this sponsorship visa when one apply, do one just go ahead to ask for sponsorship or wait for them to bring it up?

Please make una answer. Thanks

Lexusgs430:
Simply cancel prime subscription, within your Amazon account..... He would get a refund.........

Thank you sir

Bourne007:
You just used Prime without reading terms of service .. . You can cancel anything from your prime membership .. .

It's quite good though as you get fast and free delivery (with other benefits) but up to you mate

I'm sure he didn't read.
Where can he find the prime membership pls?
Thank you

Bourne007:
But Amazon prime is £7.99 deducted monthly .. . No be wetin u sign up for be that

Never knew about this, pls can he unsubscribe pls

Good afternoon elders in the house pls o come to our aid, a friend in the UK bought 2 items from Amazon prime and the things delivered but yesterday he got a deduction of £7.99 he tried sending mails and even to call but it seems they are blocked. What can he do pls? Thank you

Cc All

Good evening gurus, pls is it true that care homes and hospitals under NHS one can work more than 20hrs? My spouse was told so, just don't want him to get into trouble.

Kaylaonah:
That depends on your status at the moment. Are you on a student's visa, dependant visa or any visa that gives you right to work? If no, select no.

If you're from outside the UK, you don't have right to work if you don't have the right visa

Still in Nigeria.
Thanks for your response.

I got a reply from an employer where I applied to saying: If I have a right to work in the UK? Pls what should be my response. Thank you

Good evening gurus
Thanks for taking time to put these informations here, kindly help with care homes I can apply to that gives COS though I have no background in health.
Thanks

Good evening house, not too long I found this thread,and it has been so educating. Thanks for all the informations in here.

For someone already in the UK how can the person switch from tier 4 to tier 2 visa? If possible are there links to vacancies or jobs that can grant tier 2?

I await your responses and advice.

Thanks once again.

duchess90:
Funny I know someone and I hope the person shares his story

He was recently denied PSW he worked above 20hrs when he first arrived and tried to stick to 20hrs towards the end thinking it is safe.

Man's already thinking of going back to reapply for another masters.I asked him to share his story here so people can learn. I hope he does

Rules are rules for a purpose,online and offline. These people can get any record they want.

Pls during holidays can one work more than 20hrs? And what about those working under NHS are they exempted in this 20hrs rules?

Pls other gurus join put mouth.

Good morning gurus, pls can anyone guide a friend on how to send pounds to Nigeria?
Example dollar can be sent thru Western Union,world remit etc what about pounds ?
Thanks
