Thank you for your response.
On my cover letter, I indicated availability for interview via zoom or Microsoft teams. I always indicate country of residency as Nigeria and phone numbers always with +234 when filling out forms. I have always avoided companies that are not sponsoring overseas applicants although some will not indicate but will send 'unfortunately' mail.
I have had many companies mailing me that I should contact them anytime I finally get to UK. (How?)

Many of us applying for the support work or care works are over qualified but the japasynthesis is very active.

Someone shd cut soap naa.


Oh okay, then it might be that the recruiters need to do their due diligence before setting up an interview.

The care industry will always need workers. Just continue to apply. You will also come to announce your visa alert.

Check the email sent by British council for the correspondence address. Send them a mail quoting your test taker number or continue to check the test taker portal for your result. Results can sometimes be delayed. Did you take computer-based test?


Yes computer based
I did all

The result was released this morning

is not your fault brother. It is the system. They gave 300k people student visas but sponsor only 5000 visas. So the quota is very low. The jobs are there but they would not sponsor. The only jobs being sponsored are Nurses, doctors and software. Other roles are very hard. So if you finally get the job, kneel down and thank God.

Please someone should confirm this. Nigeria on red list.
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/code-of-practice-for-the-international-recruitment-of-health-and-social-care-personnel/code-of-practice-for-the-international-recruitment-of-health-and-social-care-personnel-in-england

Red list of what ? That should be captured in your post.
I think Nigeria has always been on the list of countries requiring more medical care thus exporting such needed skills to the UK contravenes the code of conduct set by the WHO.

If Nigeria was NOT listed, I would have been surprised actually.
We also read in this place how some employers or agencies have used this health care visa medium as a means to enrich themselves, and also exploiting vulnerable and desperate Africans. Any responsible country would and should frown at such.

Also the applications received by the home office for this kind of visa has probably gone up to 50times the average in the last 2yrs from Nigeria, and I also would not be surprised Nigeria might have up to 70% in the whole of Africa, so again it's easy for any responsible country to look inwards to see the recruitment processes.

As I will always add, if only we've got responsible leadership, many won't think of these sort of routes to seek better living wages or live in a place relatively safe.
If you look at the list of the red countries , you won't see countries like Morocco, Egypt, Algeria or Tunisia there South Africa is not there too , quite sad really to imagine the tag of GIANT OF AFRICA on the country of Nigeria. Quite sad really, keep wondering the sin of just being a Nigerian or in Nigeria.

I am not a good reader of lengthy posts of procedure though, but what I can deduce here at least to allay any worries or confusion is , for applications that cannot be authenticated as DIRECTLY made to an employer , for instance in an advertising media by the employer may fall under this category of breaking the code of ethics of employment.

Now for me even though I expect a better explanation from the gurus who can read and understand better , when applying, ensure you don't follow those krukere route via agents trying to link you up by making so so so payments.

The emphasis here is mainly about ensuring the job opportunity was advertised and you applied directly to the employing firm .... Like I said , I may be wrong , but that's the sense I could make from the long epistle as it relates to Nigeria.

The New Immigration Routes
————————————————
Brief details of new routes of immigration, introduced in last few months by the UK government.
All the routes below ⬇️ have been opened except the ‘Scale Up Route’ which will be opened on 22 August 22.

START UP VISA
————————-
1. One should have innovative idea of business. It should be different from anything already in the UK market.
2. The business idea should be endorsed by the authorised body listed by the Home office on their website.
3. You can not join the running business.
4. Business should be viable with a potential for growth.
5. This visa is only for the two years and can’t be extended.
One can switch over to the ‘Innovator’ visa within a country if fulfil the eligibility criteria.

INNOVATOR VISA
—————————-
1. New and Innovative business idea as above.
2. This business idea/plan should be endorsed by the approved body.
3. Cannot join the running business. The new business should be viable with potential for growth.
4. This visa requires an investment of £50,000.
The proof of funding is required.
5. One can join the other innovators as a team but can’t share the same investment funds.
6. This visa is initially for three years. Then a choice of extension or Permanent settlement ( ILR) is available.
I would like to remind here, that the government has reduced or abolished many categories which leads to the ILR.
This is a one of the very exclusive categories, which provides ILR after the residence of 3 years instead of 5 years or 10 years in the UK, as usual.
(People who complete even 20 years of legal and illegal long stay in this country are not entitled to a ILR straightaway)

UK EXPANSION WORKERS VISA
( Global Business Mobility )
1. This new route has replaced the previous route, known as,
‘Sole Representative Visa’
2. Under the UK expansion worker visa one can come to the UK to setup a branch of overseas business, that has no branch or already trading in the UK.
3. To obtain this visa the applicant should have worked for at least 12 months outside the UK in the company as a senior manager or specialist employee.
( The only exception is if someone is earning over £73,000 per annum or a Japanese national, working for a Japanese company, that is expanding in the UK )
4. There is a list of eligible occupations and the requirement of minimum salary.
The salary required is £42,000 per year or going rate of the job for abroad as well in the UK. Whichever is higher.
5. The owner of the company is also entitled to come under this visa ( previously for the sole representative visa, it was not allowed ) upto 5 employees can come under this route.
6. This visa is granted for the one year and extendable to another year. Maximum is 2 years.
However, they are entitled to switch over to other immigration categories on the eligibility criteria.

The High Potential individual Route
————————————————
1. This is a new route, which is being introduced as an elite point based- route to attract the brightest and best to the UK.
2.The applicant must have either a Bachelors Degree or Post Graduate Degree qualification from one of the top global Universities outside the UK.
3. The list of top 50 Universities is available on the website of the Home office.
4. Under this category leave is granted for 2 years for Graduate/post Graduates. 3 years for PhD
( Equivalent to the UK degrees)

The Scale-UP Route
———————————
This is a fast-track visa for the work permit.
The worker will be sponsored by an authorised UK scale-up company.
The company should have minimum 10 employees and minimum salary required is £33,000 per year.
The qualification required is Graduation and equivalent skill level.
RQF 6 level is also acceptable.
This visa will be initially for 2 years and extendable to another 3 years for the settlement.

Please note that all that has been mentioned are the highlights and some key points of these new routes.
For further information, please go to the Home Office website or seek professional advise.

Thanks. I was worried about getting cos because I was avoiding going for PSW because it’s expensive and doesn’t count towards ILR. But God did it. I started support worker job hunting in June when I couldn’t get Finance related jobs sponsorship because all the companies I applied to are saying they don’t offer sponsorship and their pay was very low.

1. Use your employer's address

2. You don't need to submit CoS. It is optional and submitting it could only help you in case there is any error in your application. Offer letter is of no use.

3. NO

4. Birth Certificate and Passport is enough if both parents are going. If not, the parent that is not going will need to write a consent letter.

The nurse can get a job but I cannot assure that it will be easy. Most companies are prioritising UK residents now(Students and dependants)
You can apply for jobs that are offering Tier 2 sponsorship on Indeed.
