Dear Fam
I need your assistance on what to do on name wrongly spelt on my dependants passport while birth certificate carries the original spellings. Its khole on passport instead of khloe whch is the right spelling and what she has on her birth certicate.
I already paid for appointment before noticing this error. In such a case what do I do?

I am afraid, you may have to cancel/withdraw the visa application and look for a way to resolve that issue with either immigration or Nigeria Population commission for the correction of name on birth certificate to match with the name on passport. If I am in your situation, I will purse birth certificate correction because that is faster but if you have the patience, resources and contact. You can correct it on Passport.

Greetings My Good People of Nairaland.

Please I need suggestions on an offer I have.

I am a Registered Nurse, hoping to relocate to UK. I have passed through all the steps and currently preparing to write my OSCE in the UK. I had to sponsor myself to UK for my OSCE exams.

So recently I got job offers from 2 NHS Trusts in UK after passing their job interviews. They are willing to give me COS for my Skilled Worker Visa Processing, but none is willing to make any financial commitment for my relocation.

THEY MADE IT CLEAR THEY DO NOT OFFER ANY RELOCATION PACKAGE.

This means I have to;

Pay the Skilled Worker Visa Fees myself
Pay NHS Surcharge myself
Pay for flight
Pay for my TB tests myself
And even cater for my accomodation on arrival.

The cost runs into millions of naira, which I do not have.

My questions;

1. Does anyone thing the offer is worth it, and should I accept it considering how difficult it is getting NHS offers now?

2. If I decide to go through Health and Care Worker Visa Route, the visa processing fees will be cheaper than Skilled Worker, but is it advisable?

3. Is it advisable to take a loan and invest in the relocation plans, since I have an offer already?


Every suggested will be appreciated.

1. Unless you are confident that you can get a better offer, then you can continue with application. But since 2 NHS organisation have given you the same deal, what is the possibility of getting something different?

2. Your role as a Nurse qualifies you for Health and Care visa, for which the fee is half of Skilled Worker visa fee and you do not pay Immigration Health Surcharge.

3. With regards to accommodation, you can appeal to your line manager to assist you in paying your rent for the first month and deduct the cost from your salary over a period of time (say 3 months). With that out of the way, you are left with visa fee, flight ticket and TB test which should not cost more than 1.5m total if you can get a cheap flight ticket. If you can get a loan, you will definitely pay it back within the first 2 months

I hope this helps

Hello good morning, someone said my intended date of traveling to the UK should either be on or before my work start date, I was told to inform my employer to extend my work start date on my offer letter since the cos has already been issued, so I can put the new date on my application. In that way, I can put an intended date of traveling.

OK, that's fine. I wish you good luck. I didn't see any place in my online application asking for work start and end dates except intended travel date, and my work start date has already passed long ago.

Good morning my people. My offer letter and consent letters have finally arrived and I have signed and returned it. The deal is wonderful but I have some questions and something's not clear to me.

2 satisfactory references confirming your employment history over a 3-year period to present date.

I have only worked for less than 3years because I got my license in June 2021, how do I go about the 3years reference letter?

•Occupational Health clearance: What do they mean by this?

•Verification of identity: Can I use my NIN for this?

•Satisfactory Self Declaration Form: I don't understand this too

Right to Work in the UK: What do they mean by right to work in UK?

Lastly, if my COS comes out, can my husband apply immediately as my dependant? What can it cost him to apply for dependant Visa? We intend traveling together. Please help a sister.

Hello house, asking on behalf of a friend, His visa was refused based on the fact that the salary stated by the employer is less than the new minimum wage rate, He has gotten the COS before the increase in minimum wage. He was now given administrative review option. we now thinking of re-applying instead of waiting for administrative review. The new salary scale is now reflecting on the offer letter and sponsor note.

Please can someone re-apply direct after he might have given administrative review option, any implication please advise
Please how did you resolve this and can I contact you I have similar issue.

It's better to send an email directly to your UK employer's HR/Recruitment team with your queries. It's their duty to guide you on how to complete your conditional offer requirements/pre-employment checks.
However, your current/most recent employer should be your 1st reference, and since you've not worked for up to 3yrs, your 2nd reference could be a character reference (eg. by your lecturer, traditional ruler etc).

Well, You said initially ur hubby doesn't value the whole japa stuff, why in haste to move nah😋#Lol#,He can actually travel the same time with you, Documents that will be needed for him depends on your COS, Congrats on your offer letter.
Since you have 2yrs post Nysc/Studies experience, Let your DN/BOSS give you a reference to that effect and added a reference letter from your boss during your clinical practice/hospital while in school
Occupation health clearance, They do send a form to fill in this respect.
Verification: Passport Data page,Bank account (i.e Address), House address,NiN, Driving license can work out

Satisfactory: They ought to send you a form to fill.

Right to work: you will get another form on this.

Contributions are welcome as Trust differs.

Once again, Congrats!!

Thanks so much my dear, hubby doesn't want to stay without his wife oooo, Lol, that man na God sent. My present employer have given me the reference, I intend getting the second one from hobby's Friend who has a hospital in our city, he has already discussed with him, but based on this now, maybe I will visit my school for the second reference. At this point, I think is only the second reference that is holding me back.


For what was stated in the pre employment letter, I don't need to spend much as they will pay for everything and balance money for CBT and IELTS. Visa, flights and one month accomodation is on them. I just want to prepare so that once we get the COS, we can apply together.

Hi Everyone.

Please i need your clarification on Ecctis. I understand from the guidance you shared on the front page that i will need my certificate,Transcript and my medium of instruction letter from my school.

I have applied for my transcript from my school, unfortunately it is taking ages. My school is known for delays. I am under a tight deadline to submit the ECCTIS to process my application.

Can i apply for ecctis with my Bsc certificate and the medium of instruction letter only.

What is the possibility of it being approved.

Cheers!

Don't waste your time applying for Ecctis without the complete requirements. You must include your transcript, at least a stamped & signed student copy, if they still accept this copy.

WOW!😳 Pls how did you explain that to the UKVI and they granted your visa without it?

Honestly it was a lengthy process, after getting the finger print from police station I went to Abuja for attest it, first was ministry of foreign affairs then to UAE embassy, I spent 5 days as against 2 todays I was hoping to finish everything, then I sent the stamped original copy of my fingerprint card, Nigeria police clearance certificate, receipt of payment for Dubai police clearance and my last visa copy to Dubai police via DHL, they got the package after 6 days and they asked to apply for another police clearance and pay another money without refunding the first one I paid ooo ( oloshis police ), I paid for it and first it was in progress and after 2 days it was canceled hiaa cancled kwaa abi I commit crime for Dubai we I no know ? 😢🤔 mogbe, they didn’t say the reason it was canceled, okay I mailed them like 3 times asking the reason why it was canceled and I was told I needed to clear my name with Dubai immigration, Dubai immigration kwa wetin concern me with Dubai immigration when na Abu Dhabi visas I used, okay I ran my passport and UID number on Abu Dhabi immigration there was no case on my name, ran it on Dubai immigration portal and there was no case on my name, ran it on Abu Dhabi court and there was no case, I tried to check on Dubai court and that one was full of Arabic which I didn’t understand I left it, I mailed them back asking them what it is I needed to clear with Dubai immigration and sent them a copy of a document which I was issued by UAE government before leaving the country also reminded them that I have no case or fine in any of Abu Dhabi or Dubai immigration and Abu Dhabi court, and also asked them if the can give me an email or phone number to contact Dubai immigration because I couldn’t get ahold of them via online or didn’t have any email of them, after I sent them to email I didn’t hear from them again, I tried to see if I could see what it was I did against Dubai immigration during some typing center in Dubai like Amer center but they were not giving any response, after waiting for Dubai police for like a week and they didn’t give me any reply, so I gathered my evidence from when I applied for the first police and I was asked to get fingerprints to the last email I sent them which they didn’t reply, all those evidence was what I used and sent cover letter to UKVI of what I was facing from getting the Dubai pcc, I replied the NSF on 14th of this November and on the 17th November my visa was approved. I really thank God my visa was approved because had it been it was denied it would have been unfair to me, I spent more than 500k just for the mumu pcc , going to Abuja , lodging for hotel and paying extra days which wasn’t planned, transport within Abuja and you people didn’t tell us food was that expensive in Abuja 😢, well thank God Dubai didn’t have the last laugh.

First know why you’re school is delaying with your transcript because most schools will prefer to send the transcript to the institution requesting to an official email, in this case you will have to apply for your Ecctics then after you have paid get your Ecctics preference number and ecctics email and give to your school to send your transcript to them, they will have to use your Ecctics reference number as the subject of the mail, Ecctics will know what to do from there.
