I will be looking forward to read from someone who has done it recently ...especially switching at the beginning or mid-way to the course

I have a friend that did the same maybe slightly different but. He did his first masters in 2019 and applied for another masters 2020 because the PSW did not cover him. Two months into his second masters he got a graduate job with sponsorship in an engineering firm and switched his visa and deferred his masters

Bluetherapy just copied and pasted Kode12's question from 2020. I guess Bluetherapy's scam statement was just to say that Kode12 said that he was asking for a friend when he infact was the one faced with the situation at the time.

You don scam innocent people wey dey give confirm update for this thread .

@justwise @lexusg430 I need your thoughts.
A friend came to the UK on a Tier 4 visa in September and was randomly applying for some permanent roles to test the water and see how employable he is. Now he’s got a company that has the ability to sponsor him on a T2.
Is it possible to switch visa completely before the 3 months to the end of course rule? If he’s able to combine work and school, can he continue with the masters program while working full time on the Tier 2 visa?

I'm sorry I don't think I follow.

The NHS is pretty much a checklist process. If you meet all items on the checklist and the points add up, you're good. In situations where internal candidates are also applying, they may have the upper hand since they understand the position from the inside.
Also, having a an informal chat before interviews is strongly encouraged as it helps you make a fair assessment of the job before you attend your interview.
Always request for interview feedback to enable you know what you could have done better.

What sort of questions could be asked during the informal chat? Is this informal chat with the HR or the contact person of the department?

HR doesn't get involved, just advert and process. Informal chat will be with the department recruiting manager and you can pretty much ask anything aside for salary etc NHS bands are pretty set already

It interesting the advice that followed this post
...it discouraged it yet it was absolutely fine by home office and the visa switch was granted

And thats my thought in my head , some times we need to seperate our interpretation of the rules ( as humans it can be right or wrong) from what it legally possible. At the end of the day it what is legally possible that counts

Is it possible to pick appointment for biometrics at the Nigerian high Commission in London?

Or does anyone know the latest dates they are giving currently?

Skilled work visa no be beans... I have applied for at least 400 jobs since november.

Must people wont even consider you when they see you need sponsorship, as thats the first question they ask.

Some are on sponsorship list but are still reluctant to sponsor, even though occupation is on the skilled worker list and the salary is more than the required threshold.

I had two very promising interviews in december, the next step in one was to talk with CISO, I come oversabi ask them about sponsorship they said they do sponsor, but it depends if they havent used it up. while expecting email for CISO interview, na unfortunately email I recieve.

the second one the man just they praize me, they praize my experience and my educational background, at least he told me upfornt they dont sponsor at the moment, but thry will keep me on the list etc.

But las las we move, I have reduced applications I am exploring other routes.

Good luck with yours

So it makes sense to ask about sponsorship after there's an offer on the table?

More courses are available in September compared to January

Thanks this insight

I think so, that's if it does not come up in the interview.

As it just discourages them. Make sure they are on the sponsored list as well. But I know of companies who went ahead to register as a sponsor just because of a candidate

You can’t, you have to wait until they email you an appointment date but that can take months.

If you have the money go for fast track, you don’t need appointment for that.

That masters is deferred for ever…lol

It’s getting clearer now that this is loophole that many can legally take advantage of especially those with work experience and qualification.

You might need to pay a couple of months rent ahead, to secure/guarantee an accommodation or seek a guarantor ..........

Sir, I have called almost all spare room number in Hertfordshire, in-fact it made me feel I have a skill in customer relations. I may want to try a career in that later but for now, getting an accommodation is the most important thing for us now, spent close to 400pounds on hotel, airbnb is kinda useless around this side too. Helpp ooooooooooo. We are getting exhausted sincerely.

Good morning

Good morning bro,

I can easily get a guarantor.
My issue is getting the accommodation

I find some of the responses here totally unwarranted. Like, why would any one here think some people fear Just2wise !? Are we in a primary school settings?

BTW,
I lent a female friend £2k for her to add to her POF around August last year. The money was SOLELY for proof of funds and she even suggested that we could draft and agreement but I wasn't having any of that(silly). She messaged me today that she didn't get the visa and with all the plenty talks, she didn't even mention anything about my money . I was shocked by her response when I asked her for the money since there wasn't any need for her to still keep hold of it. She said she paid the money to an agent to forge bank statements as the money I sent and about N500k were all she had(What she got from the Uni was more like part scholarship). Then she also paid the agent some other fees. Long story short, she has given my money to the agent BUT I don't need to worry as the agent promised to return the money back to her in the next few months and she'll definitely send it back to me when she gets the reimbursement No apologies, but black people don't even rate their fellow black people and some people come here to talk BS about Nigerians not helping their fellow Nigerians.

For some of you here, the only place you get valuable information is only on Nairaland because the Nigerian/African leaving next door doesn't even rates you. Yet you'll see of them acting like someone owes them a response. We need to stop preventing other people from getting help PLEASE, because some of the attitudes we portray discourages people from providing help.

Please can someone advice me on how best to search for Project management jobs with T2 sponsorship. I’m currently searching while I’m trying to round off my masters. I just need to know what to search for and possible certificates needed. I’m hoping I can get a job at grad level in any industry as long as it’s project management role
