Visa Alert!!!
Hehehe I've longed to type this since I discovered Nairaland in September 2020 when my husband was waiting for his second canadian visa application which he got a refusal. I was a strong follower of the Canada students thread.
I am from Kenya and I told myself wherever Nigerians are going we will go. That's how we started our journey for UK Student visa which never went far as we didn't have the amount required in bank statement.
My second option was to apply for Skilled visa which actually should have been my 1st option.
I did blind application to companies that were offering sponsorship and I got an offer and a CoS.
Timeline.

Visa Application 12/1/2022
Biometrics 14/1/2022
Tls email 26/1/2022
DHL collection 27/1/2022.
All info was gotten from this thread and less from UKVO.gov website. Truly go through the pages, you won't miss any details.
Thank you Nigerians, we did it!!!

And to the famous quote which I couldn't wait to write
"What God cannot do doesn't exist!"

Hi everyone,
What happens if you already got a job and a CoS without an NVQ 3 certification, just some background working in a care home.
Does the issue of the certification come up with the Visa application?
Urgent response please...

Thanks

tolajay:
NO!

Your employer is confident of your skill set that's why they've issued you the CoS.

You can proceed to visa application. They won't request any other documents accept the ones your employeer requested.

Hi
What about the whole Ecctis thing for PhD holders, it's confusing... Am not a PhD holder, do I really need to do that?

I know I have link to companies recruiting carers and not senior Carer. They are sponsoring. I just need the person to do a training in Nigeria before helping to apply here. I totally understand as I am in the system here. Thanks

Uzland:

Hello, GiggsTk. Congratulations to you! Having a CoS doesn't always automatically guarantee one getting the SW visa or HACW visa - this is at the sole discretion of the UKVI. Stories have been heard of people who were denied visas at the last minute because of issues such as not possessing appropriate qualifications, amongst others. However, since visa applications are mostly treated based on individual circumstances, you can go ahead and give it a try - your case might be different. Cheers.

DreamerDoer:

Hi
What about the whole Ecctis thing for PhD holders, it's confusing... Am not a PhD holder, do I really need to do that?

tolajay:
LOL...Since you're not a PhD holder, then you need not worry about it.

As I explained, your CoS is your ground for a hitch-free visa request.

Your employee must have done especially background checks on you and your suitability for the role before issuing the CoS.

Thank you.... So it's not part of the documents I will have to submit to tls?

Uzland:

One of the requirements for the visa application is proof of knowledge of English. You can do this with an IELTS result. Alternatively, if you have a bachelor's, master's or PhD degree that was taught in English language, you can have it evaluated by Ecctis (NARIC) and then use the statement issued to prove your knowledge of English. The steps and requirements for Ecctis evaluation are spelt out on their website. Cheers.

amehrada:
You’ll need your degree cert, transcript and medium of instruction letter from your uni. Register with ecctis, pay the fees and upload the necessary docs for the service you want. They’ll evaluate and send the report in in some working days.

If you go on ecctis site, everything is clearly spelt out there.

sandysilver:
Pls how much does this cost?

RCCP is better for her for now.

Follow the thread from the beginning and follow the steps. Your wife may just be the next to move to the UK as a Clinical Physiologist.

I have been trying to register with Ecctis but it keeps giving me an email address error. How do I go about it?
