Dear justwise, lexus430 and co. Please what's the process of switching from a healthcare visa to another healthcare visa? My brother is on a healthcare visa as a carer but recently got another sponsorship from a mental hospital as a support worker and wants to switch. Does he have to go through the application process again or just inform home office of the new COS thanks.
I think the most important cruz of the matter there is for your current employer to withdraw their current COS so that his new COS can be mapped to skiiled visa .The application will be a seamless one if the current employer is willing to release you easily like that

This care work talk is really a thing for consideration.

I need advise actually


I and my wife both got admission to same school , while my wife is studying, i deferred mine ( Applied data science) to October

Currently about to start carework next month, no talk of sponsorship yet.

The goal is to be a data analyst/scientist starting from an entry level role, i have some certifications and projects completed but the jobs are not coming.
Applying on LinkedIn but only few calls back.

Should i go for studies after my wife completes hers or keep looking for that entry level role which i am not sure will come with visa sponsorship.
let me be blunt here ,Uk IT employer dont really care about your master in IT what what they want to see in your experience and track record in the field .
Focus on enrolling in IT bootcamps that can give your world class training ,capstones projects and working experience

Hi there,

I use this App below & passed it for the first attempt easily within 10 minute's in the test centre. You can also Google "lifeintheuktest" 3rd edition it helps a lot as well.

Make sure you study hard for the test & try to memorise the dates of the events that occur in Britain as much as you can.
I wish you all the best.

If you are going to collect money there, then may be not grin otherwise please feel free to use the library. You may even get free green bin bags, if your council hands them out free.

Hello house, I hope we are all good.
I am in a dicey situation and need some input from those who have more knowledge and information than I do.
I applied for a two year visitor visa for my mum that will expire December this year. She came in December 2021. While here, she was taking treatment at the General hospital as a private patient. In June 2022 when her six month visit was almost complete, I applied for extension of stay through the FLR/HRO route so she could complete her treatment. She did biometrics in London and her passport was held back at the biometric center. Since then, no decision has been made and the passport hasn't been returned.
In December 2022, I cancelled the application on gov.uk and according to the information there, I would get the passport in 10 working days. Its over the 10 days and I have even filled the online complaint form twice, still no response. I can't get through as the contact number is for general inquiries and only get computer responses.
When I was cancelling the application, they stated that she becomes an overstayer from the date of cancellation but they haven't returned her passport still. What can I do?

Thanks in advance.

As she's been classed as an overstayer, I doubt if her passport will be returned.

She will need to book a one way ticket to her final destination and forward the ticket details to a particular home office email address or cl a particular number. She will be instructed to meet some home office officials at the airport of her departure and her passport will be handed over to her.

This I believe is the process unless things have changed.

That said, she has 14 days from the day of cancellation before she's officially classified an overstayer.

Sounds like burnout
However burnout is not for people who need to eat.
Apply to join the bank of locum doctors for an nhs trust.
You can pick your shifts depending on your childcare responsibilities.
On days you are not working you can study for those other jobs you want in order to decide.

It will not be easy but nothing in life is. I wish her success.
MsQB:
Good Evening Ancestors! I'm asking on behalf of a friend
She is about to relocate to the UK on Dependant/spousal visa and she asked me some questions which I don't have answer to
1...She is a medical doctor with more than 5years experience in Nigeria but she is not willing to practice in the UK though she intend to have GMC registration but she prefers it is her last option. So, what long term job can she do in the UK? Any certications she can obtain?? Can she venture into IT or pharmaceuticals?? Note that her background in Nigeria is just medicine no other experience though she has Cambridge A levels certificate (GCE A LEVELS)
2...what is the difference between support worker, carer, healthcare assistants because she intends to get a job as soon as she lands so as to keep body and soul together. Oh she prefers the one without personal care
3...On jobs she can do, can it be remote/hybrid/night shift because she has twin toddlers in which they want to reduce childcare cost
Any pointers are welcome
She really want to change career but so confuse
She will be reading.

You can take it directly to the bank to deposit it, them will convert it before paying it into your account or you take it to post office to change.

Check post office website for their exchange rate or walk -in and ask them so as to know the best deal to go for.

This should be voluntary return. I actually called them but since her leave to enter is still till December, they redirected me to call the regular contact with computer responses.
