Is this a resit with course attendance or what? If you have a valid visa expiring in 2025 as you mentioned earlier and exam is April 2024, your current visa covers it, where then is 2026 course end-date coming from?

In any case, I would suggest you consult an immigration lawyer for this cos the university might not want to issue you with a fresh CAS to re-apply for the visa.


Sonniajude:


Yeah the university is aware but the resit is next year April and that will lead to visa extension as the course will be ending in 2026 due to the resit

It's somewhat similar to https://www.nairaland.com/6719932/living-uk-life-immigrant-part-2/878#121736531 (Maureen). I will suggest you read through and apply the same logic.

Inform your uni that UKVI allows extension of visas in-country if resitting exams or repeating modules

Bros you dey try for this basic fare. Madam no dey carry better suitcase travel? There’s no way my toiletries will fit into Ryanair or Wizz Air cabin baggage let alone clothes. I’ll advise people to upgrade to the fare with checked baggage to avoid nasty surprises at the airport.

CVlibrary, LinkedIn, Indeed... Not just cybersecurity jobs but all jobs! Adjust CV and cover letter to suit respective application. One needs to be totally committed!

I always say this to folks, applying for a job is some sort of full time job. It can be stressful and discouraging, but the moment one have populated his/her CVs out there, the calls and interview schedules will become overwhelming and at some point one would need to deactivate these profiles...

All of the above is from experience and not hearsay.

All the best.

Thank you. You simply register on the site, it’s called CV library, upload your CV, a cover letter, look for roles and then apply.
Just make sure you keep tweaking your cv and cover letter to suit the roles you’re applying for. That’s all.


Thank you

Hahaha cheesy We don't discourage people here o, we only tell you the truth about the situation(s) on ground, the final decision is left to you to take.

My first question to you would be - Have you been requested to pay for the placement in the UK? Also forget about people posting or telling you care jobs is nasty or degrading ....if it is, why are they doing it? Many are thriving in it and on sponsorship sef. Truth however is that it can be demanding with high risk of not getting enough shifts to live on cheesy



Thank you.
