Hello everyone… please is there any implication for piercing one’s baby’s ear at home ? One of the midwives that came to check the baby today was saying she was going to check with social services to see if it was legal. The baby’s ear was pierced by my mum. Should I be worried ? Kindly share your views. Thanks

JapaGeneral:

Of course, be very worried. This singular act, can be deemed a form of abuse.
By extension, next thing might be traditional marks or FGM.

Don't make any move until the new COS is out and they've updated your offer to say full time. What they've done is very shady and you will be the only one to suffer the consequences if things goes south. What's normally done is give you the unconditional offer with the correct details and you start when the COS is available. HR teams within the NHS know how the COS thing works so the fact that they're encouraging you to skirt the rules is quite strange and disturbing. My advice is stick to your current job, wait till the COS becomes available then submit it to them and request and update of the unconditional offer before starting. They're already neck deep, they can't turn you back at the point. All the best.

Thanks boss...what I need clarification on right now is..how will i have access to my portal online (I'm under d assumption that it has to be created before a certificate can be issued)

giselle237:
This is not true. In paediatrics, you must report FGM straight to the police immediately after seeing the child, for ear piercing there is no clear safeguarding rule on this one or any clear form of reporting so I doubt that you can equate a whole FGM to piercing the ears of one’s child and therefore abuse.

Lexusgs430:



Once you receive the certificate, use details on certificate, to create an account........

And this your assumption is from ......... 😂

Update87:

Boss...do they require UK experience before hiring someone?

Or someone needs to put "one or two things" into one's CV?

Good morning great people,

I have been having some kind of dilemma with regards to this T2 visa sponsorship. Here is my story below and I seriously need one or two people's opinion:

I'm a student to round up in few months time. My wife has been working with the NHS through a bank as a Medical Secretary Support for the past eight months. She has asked her employer if they can give sponsorship and they said they don't give for non-clerical role. This made us start weighing up our options to delve into clerical roles such as healthcare support worker. An opportunity came out from the same employer for a healthcare support worker training program which she applied, did interview and was chosen.

Just recently, I decided to pretend to be a worker with this agency by calling them to ask if they can give visa sponsorship for healthcare worker program at the end of the training, they said no. I was perplexed.

Now, where my wife currently works as a medical secretary, she earns 12GBP per hour and she works regular office hour Monday to Friday. On the other hand, the healthcare worker trainee program she will be earning a sad 10.42GBP and 12 hours shift bases.

Will seeking a permanent job with the NHS for a Medical secretary role give us some chances of being sponsored or we should go ahead with the Trainee program eventhough they still won't sponsor but after the program look for a permant position with any NHS trust?

As simple as I wrote this, believe me it is really difficult to think of what to do cos our student visa expires in few months from now.

Aafulenu:
I have tried searching for this, and I apologise if this has been addressed before.

My spouse and I have just applied to switch from the student visa to a skilled worker visa. We are yet to do this for the kids (3) and their current visa expires at the end of October.
How would this affect them if we are unable to make an application before their current visa ends?

giselle237:
Nope. My colleague’s 9 month old twins used the app.. the 5 year old they asked the boy to come for biometrics. .. but the twins used the app
Note the 3 of them had done biometrics in UK before though.. so no one can really understand how the app selects its ‘precious’ candidates

MichaelUde:
True talk. I did an application for a 4 year old using the app (daughter of a colleague), who has never had her fingerprints taken, either in Ghana or here, and them no ask them to come to UKVCAS and the BRP is out.

Please did you track the application online after biometrics? Did you get any notification prior to receiving the passport on the 2nd ?
Just want to be sure because i might be at work and I don't miss the delivery date

MichaelUde:


On the basis of generalisation (this might not be the case in the trust wey dey cover where you live and NHS England and NHS Scotland are different entities), Band 2 roles usually do not qualify for sponsorship. Basically Band 2 na unskilled labour. HCAs start becoming specialised from Band 3 and above (phlebotomy and so forth) and it is from that level when you get skills wey them want that them fit sponsor. Or if your madam dey in mental health, NHS trusts (boards here in Scotland) are always interested in that one.

If your madam get the mind, una fit see if una go find all those certification/training courses in the areas of mental health care and pay for them yourself and try your luck at a Band 3 role.

jum33:

Stick with the HCA role in NHS as that same experience can still open door for another sponsorship role in othe trust .Meanwhile you will need to buy more time to achieve this ,so aim to get your PSW

Efftyy:


Thanks for your concern, The COS is out already and I
have put forward my application. The details was before they issued me the COS . I did priority so will be expecting decision from Home office before the start date God willing

I greet the elders o 🖐️🤚

Please what’s the average price for getting a document notarised in UK? The ones around here are saying £80 o. Egbami!!!

Jeff0983:
Guys please is Pictures , chats history, marriage certificate ( but not up to 3 months old) bank statements showing money sent to each enough for UK dependent visa?
Though we would be adding NIN because our NIN has the same Naija address but we have only been in Nigeria together for just 10 months, we also want to add SHEIN invoice 🧾 showing our address in Dubai from 2021 , will this be acceptable because we don’t have bills paid with both our names or tenancy agreement with both name, I have mailed the housed I lived in in Dubai to add my wife’s name to the contract but the said it against their policy and I don’t want to forge anything

Apart from dependent passport
Tb test certificates
police clearance

Our pictures together is from 2020 to 2023
WhatsApp Chat history is from 2020 to 2023
Bank statements showing money sent to each other is from 2021 to 2023
SHEIN invoices is from 2021
NIN is just 10 months.
We want to submit our visa by Monday

Innocent94:
Hello, please i would appreciate if anyone can recommend a care/support company that offers sponsorship, I urgently need this please as my visa is due to expire soon🙏🙏

Jeff0983:


Honestly marriage certificate should be okay but seems UK wants to recolonize us again, even after marriage certificate, pictures (101 pictures), WhatsApp chats and some invoice with bank statements my agent is asking for tenancy agreement on both of our names before he can apply.

koonbey:


It’s not classed as abuse and it’s not illegal.

There’s nothing to be very worried about.

giselle237:
Hi, my cousins had same issue. They told them it is cultural and tried to make it look like the midwife was trying to be discriminatory against their culture . I don’t know sha but that’s how they wiggled out of it.

MonkeySee:

It's £10 to notarise 3 documents.

Walk into any law firm or UK post office to get it done. That's what I did

hustla:




Agent clearly doesn't know what he is doing. Marriage cert from registry is sufficient unless its arranged marriage and you guys want to prove beyond any suspicious doubt

hustla:


To this day, I wonder why Nigerians go to this extent to prove a relationship/marriage.

Why would you be showing your private chat history to a VO when it has not been explicitly requested for? Bank statements that isnt joint too? Might as well send videos of when you guys were doing "construction work" too

Just present registry certificate and a few pictures from the registry and you will be fine. Even the pictures sef isn't compulsory

idee91:


Thanks for responding. I would provide further updates on this tomorrow as we are expecting another midwife visit tomorrow. The midwife that came around today said the ears are okay and with no infections.

jedisco:


Seems there's been a recent change in documents needed.

In addition to marriage cert, they now ask of additional evidence of continued relationship for a goven period.
