8 weeks was stated in the website just wanted to know if anyone has gotten it earlier.

I don't know of anyone who has got theirs earlier. I know some people who applied since April, May, and June and still have not received theirs. Even with priority, as I learnt recently. It's a nail-biting waiting game.

Hello all, please who got a teaching Job in the UK from Nigeria and how did you go about the QTS? What qualification did you use?


Not from Nigeria, but I got a university teaching job from the UK. So QTS was not needed, I guess.

Please how about the wait time for dependant Visa from the UK? That is the principal applicant already has a Skilled Workers Visa/Tier2 and the spouse who's a student wants to convert from tier4 to tier2 dependant....do you know if biometrics is required? Also is 8weeks feasible? Thanks in advancd

Hello. Really sorry I do not have any information on that, as I'm applying without dependents. Might be worth checking the website to see the true state of things.

Really we encourage the delays by paying people. Imagine if no one paid anyone. Also my mum went trhough the process recently and did everything online. Got the passport within 3 days. The guys there only grumbled because she did it online. If you need it urgently, consider other states where demand is lower or better still plan well ahead. Why will someone leave Ilorin for Lagos to process their passport? I would have thought the waiting period in Ilorin will be shorter.
do you have a sure plug for getting new passports for children ASAP. Kindly help

This thing is something else.... even business, they will end up folding left and right if they can't pass this on to customers. Meaning job losses. The whole thing will turn out to be a major recession crises . ...

How can people cope with 85% increase when salary increase is hardly given

Austerity measures must be personalised by individuals and families in all forms in order to survive and have some change left as savings.

This reminds me of when BritishGas was playing funny with me. A flat on gas heater and boiler, their rep when setting up my account said fixed tariff is £170 but because of what I don’t know, he said he would put me on £83 / month. I accepted, thinking it was a good deal, only for me to take stock of all appliances in the house to know which uses what and realise I was being scammed.
Meanwhile, direct debit had only gone out for a month. I decided to call and renegotiate the tariff, the rep had a ‘slip of tongue’ and said my bill of £10 for the month had already been posted by mail (which I didn’t receive because it was not sent) - and they already collected £83 via DD
To cut the story short, tariff was changed and balance remained after deducting £10 from the £83
All in all, bills amount to about £100/month - electricity taking the bulk

Does any one have idea about affordable places to stay outside London for someone schooling in University of Greenwich?

Even if it's a bit far from London, i just want somewhere cheaper than London.

Hello guys, My course end date is Jan 2024 but I have gotten a full time job in care and they are ready to sponsor me.

My question is on switching from tier 4 student visa to skilled worker visa (health and care worker visa).

- Can I switch my visa from tier 4 to tier 2 without completing my course?

- Do I have to complete my first year fees or all my fees before applying for this visa?

- I have only stayed in the UK for 7months, do I need to have proof of funds?

- Do I also need to pay the health surcharge?

@seunoj please can I get your contact email address if you don’t mind. Thanks for the help guys.

Hi, please I am switching my visa route from student visa to health care visa.

Please can I do this before my course end date or I have to finish my course first.

No rules...it down to personal choices. Many are even abandoning school and going to tier 2... but I feel its a trap to keep people in minimum wage for 5 years all for paper

U can switch your visa anytime. Infact, the earlier the better as ur 5years start counting when u switch.

Not sure about this. Once u switch, u can discuss with school on the way forward. Or discuss before the switch. This area get as e be.

Yes. You need pOF £1,270 (30 days) except ur employer indicates that they are providing financial support in your cos.

Healthcare worker visa do not pay ihs. You can check your status on the gov.uk site. It will simulate the cost of ihs (if any) for ur visa category.
