Hello all,
Please has anyone recently submitted an application for a dependant child under the tier 2 healthcare visa from inside the UK. I need some clarifications.
For the main applicant and partner dependant,it did not request for any evidence to be uploaded but for the child dependant it is asking for some evidences as seen below. I am thinking maybe I did somethings wrong.
it is correct. Upload your bank statement and requested documents if available etc

The red list thing was for agents and not for those applying directly to NHS Trusts, your wife should not give up applying, your plan B is also another good option if the money is there, coming in as a student and write her OSEC that will increase her chances of getting employed.

Though bringing you over as her depedant will depend on the changes to Tier 2 visa to be announced before the end of the year.
So lets wait and see if the changes will include restriction on family bringing in their dependants on Tier 2 visa
I should think if she comes on a visit visa she can also the exam OSEC exam
That seems a lot less expensive
I mean doctors fly into do do Plab

I feel coming in with visit visa which is just Six months visa is very short to compare the time it will take get job offer before the visa expire., that's why I think coming in through study route will give her more time and opportunity to get a better job as a Registered Nurse before the end of her one year study, which after then she switch to tier 2 in order to bring in her dependent.That is my idea.What do you think pls?

Have you done a cost analysis of how much she will require in school fees? How much she will require in living expenses?

My response is based on cost.
Cos if she was able to get a job offer from Nigeria you wouldn't consider study route.

Lastly both of you should take a step back and reanalyze. No need for pressure cos stressing just makes things worse. Time is not running away. This is a journey..not a destination . All the best

Nothing new, they have been barking all these while on care visas and still nothing. I even blame the govt for allowing such slavery to continue. Still a wonder how you allow so much foreigners to care your elderly. Is there no better plan to that? They should get their own children to take care of their elderly and stop enslaving other people’s children. My personal view o.

The greatest mistake the uk govt keep making is tying work visas to companies for too long a period. Many people have no business doing care work when they can be better in doing other professions, but when care visas looks like the easiest way to stay in the country then what do you expect?

P.s I found this reddit page interesting- mirrors some of my sentiments on care jobs.
https://reddit.com/r/UKJobs/s/qAUr5e9reP

I'm keen to see how the care issue would be solved... no easy answers her. It's a sector largely contracted to private firms (that have to be efficient to survive) and has for a longtime been heavily reliant on foreign labour. The funding from the government has been constrained hence why they struggle to demand a reasonable minimum pay for the sector. Even the UKVI salary limit had to be reduced for carers.

With EU net migration becoming negative post brexit, the visa pathway became needed (not wanted). With masters students now being barred from bringing dependents in, there'd be more constraints. Also, that no one needs to have a prerequisite qualification and there being hundreds of such firms make it prone to abuse. Eventually, it'd have to be culled but lets hope its not another deja vu.

Thanks for your response.

What if I do nor have some of the documents, like the enrolment letter from school. The child is just in secondary school.

I was thinking I don't need to upload anything like i did for main applicant and partner dependant since we are already inside the UK and spent over 12 months.

HELLO HOUSE.

I just passed my driving theory test (45/50; 56/74) and when I tried to book for the practical test, the earliest date I got was 17/02/2024.
My international driver's license will expire on the last day of January 2024.

My questions:
1. Should I go ahead and book? Can I get to see an earlier date later after booking and can I get to change the date to an earlier date if seen?

2. Can I go ahead and book before I get an instructor? Or should I get an instructor first before booking.

NB. I have been driving in Nigeria for 10 years. And 4 months in the UK.

PLEASE ADVISE.

THANKS IN ANTICIPATION
Please which material you use to prepare for the theory?

Good evening My Boss,I really appreciate all your contribution in this wonderful family and may God continue to bless and give you wisdom to direct us.Pls sir I have this idea want to share with you and I want you to tell me if is feasible and advice me how best to apply it.My Wife is a Registered Nurse here in Nigeria,but want to relocate to uk to practice,but due to Nigeria is in Red list, which make it very difficult for Nigeria nurses to get job offer in uk while in Nigeria.Now,she is planning to get admission in a University in uk for Masters degree program in Public health which is a One year course,so that when she enter uk through study route with her NMCUK documents and write her OSEC in order to get UK Pin as a uk Registered Nurse,then she use it to get job in uk as a Nurse while studying.when she then finish her study,she will then switch to 2teir visa and get COS to bring her family.pls sir,what can you advise in this idea .I hope to hear from you Sir.Thanks Justwise.
Your wife should keep trying. NHS needs nurses and no end in sight . That Msc money is best to use it as down payment for mortgage if eventually she gets one. Doing Msc for a qualified nurse is a waste of money. Lots of Nigerian nurses just went to school of nursing ( advanced diploma) and they are getting NHS jobs.

It’s not impossible to go straight from 1st degree to PhD.

A very top degree, and if you have great evidence of active participation in Research that’s fantastic.
If you have a couple of 1st author publications in reputable peer-reviewed journals, that’s icing on the cake.

Thanks for your response.Alot of Nurses here in Nigeria are getting frustrated, because they are finding it difficult to get job offer in UK.Infact,most employers needs nurses that are already in uk and have pin already.That is most of them are looking for a way to enter uk first and search for a Job, since they couldn't get job offer while here in Nigeria.So,am advising my Wife to apply for Masters in Public health which is One year course, while doing the program she will sit for OSCE in order to get Uk pin and become uk registered Nurse and start working part time as a UK nurse,then when she finish her One year program in public health,she will then switch to tier 2,so that she can be eligible to bring her husband and kid to join her in uk.We intend to execute the plan next year.Pls any more better advise for us?

Internal students will take the roles since they need sponsorship to stay.

EU migrants who took these jobs in the past had access to public funds
So it's cheaper labor for the UK to use non EU
It's the quality of care to patients I'm concerned about. When more of those taking these jobs are doing it solely to survive

Sincerely, i understand your situation, i would advice you and your wife should keep pushing and be prayerful.
My younger sister applied for over 1000 jobs on tracjobs before she got 4 job offers in April.

First, apply jobs in carehomes too, they also give sponsorship.
Go to nhsjobs.com , apply to the trusts like Frimley nhs, Bath, East london Nhs, Lancashire nhs, Walsall,Dorset,hampshire nhs,Berkshire hospital trust,bromley healthcare nhs etc.

You can also apply to Nhs scotland, they give sponsorship too.
Nurses are getting offer everyday.

It doesnt worth it to come to the uk with a study visa when you can get COS for free.
when you come to the uk with a study visa, you will pay for osce exam by yourself and osce exam is expensive. You pay for the training also and you wont get any reimbursement from the hospital which they may take you as an agency nurse(they can terminate your appointment anytime).

See what you will benefit when you wait., You will be reimbursed on everything you spent so far, ielts , cbt,. They will pay for your flight, they give you 1month accomodation, some nhs trust give 3months accomodations, pay for osce and training.
My advice is , just keep applying, check your supporting statement and your cv. Try to impress when you are given chance for interviews.
The journey needs patience and perseverance.

Hello people, I need a little help on how to go about this please.

I got a £25 parking ticket at Birmingham City centre for parking without displaying a ticket.

Tbh, I had no idea it was a park and display as I'm not familiar with the area. The taxi driver I met at the spot advised me to download Ringo and pay via it.

Long story short, I parked at 10.30 a.m., paid with Ringo around 3 p.m. (no thanks to the network at Macdonald Burlington) and got back to my car around 5:30 p.m. with a ticket (and instructions on how to pay the £25) on my windshield. The timestamp on the ticket read 11:00 a.m.

I mailed Birmighman City Council telling them I had paid £10 via Ringo and asked for a link to pay £15, to make the £25. Whoever it was that responded acted like they didn't read my email and kept mentioning £25. To beat time, I sent them a £15 postal order and a the transaction ID of the £10 payment to Ringo (In my mind £25 don complete).

Few weeks later, they've now sent me a letter asking for the full £50 less the £15 I paid earlier (£35).

Shouldn't the £10 I paid to Ringo count? Am I wrong not to have paid the £25 they asked?

The money you paid through ringo, was to park your vehicle.......

Unfortunately, when you paid ringo, a parking enforcement ticket, had already been issued.......

Solution - : Just pay the £35, or else this £35, would metamorphose into £800........😂

Typically no. However you might get asked for this by the case officer in which case providing proof of commencing the passport application process should suffice.
