IOM here in Lagos....57,800

Police report varies in price....it all depends on how urgently you need it but hold btw 30k(which is the official price) to 45k for fast tracking

advanceDNA:


Home office does not/ cannot issue COS with any kind of wages.... It is the employer that assigns COS to a job applicant with the salary they desire to pay.... If the salary they choose is less than what home office has established as the minimum( i.e., £26,200 per year or £10.75 per hour) the application will be refused....
Check ur husband's COS....and confirm before u apply for administrative review..... my suggestion is to reapply for another application because administrative review can most times take too long even if u get the refusal decision overturned...

Poanan:
you can always do your research yourself. advance Dna dont confuse people you can be paid between 70% and 90% if your job appears on the shortage occupation list.

When you can be paid less
You might still be able to apply for a Health and Care Worker visa if your job is eligible but your salary is less than £26,200 or your job’s usual ‘going rate’. You must still be paid at least £10.75 per hour.

You can be paid between 70% and 90% of the usual going rate for your job if your salary is at least £20,960 per year and you meet one of the following criteria:

your job is in a shortage occupation
you’re under 26, studying or a recent graduate, or in professional training
you have a science, technology, engineering or maths (STEM) PhD level qualification that’s relevant to your job (if you have a relevant PhD level qualification in any other subject your salary must be at least £23,580)
you have a postdoctoral position in a scientific role

advanceDNA:


Lol.....what irrelevant stuff are are u posting here, that doesn't even concern the Op's case..... At least try and address people's case based on their specific situation

anyways to yarn is free....

Poanan:


What did you say about the salary of 26,200? I brought out a section that says u can be paid between 70 and 90% if the job is on the shortage occupation. bring a section where home office said the minimum salary must be 26200 or refused for health and care visa.

advanceDNA:


What exactly are u fishing for..cos I'm not getting you...ukvi said 10.75 per hour or 26200

What is wrong about the 10.75 or 26200 that I said??
Then u came in with PhD and 26 years old conditions....saying I am wrong....having a PhD or being 26years old are different sets of conditions or context which is likely not the Ops case....
Again what are u fishing for??...to help the Op or to drag info PhD and 26 year old condition that's not even inline with the op's condition

Poanan:


Don't isolate one part from another. That same page talks about cases you can be paid less. Do not isolate them.

advanceDNA:


Lol.....isolate.?? ...na u ask for where ukvi said 26200 or 10.75......now u have shifted goal post....
What did I isolate...?? U jumped into my mention with ur PhD and 26year old condition which is not the op's case and was never part of my comment...so how am I isolating??

Poanan:

U are misinforming people. Stop misinforming people of some thing u don't know about.

advanceDNA:


Lol...reads like u are about to cry..... Pele... I still don't get u though....

dee1504:


1. YES. You can give a different address as to what MA since anyone can change their accommodation at anytime.

2. Since you are married, i believe you are an adult. So I see no reason why the usage of multiple middle names. That could reduce the credibility of your application as the 2 middle names could mean different people and also mean you are trying to impersonate someone else.

What you can do:

1. Apply for a change of name either on your passport or on the marriage certificate.

2. If the above is impossible, get a sworn affidavit stating that the bearer of both names is the same person.

3. Go into fasting and prayer that UKVI should not reason your matter.

I hope this helps.

Poanan:


I don't know what u people think people earn in some visa category. Don't run away from the matter stop misinforming people. Others should learn and do research for themselves. The employer cannot put a salary on cos and pay another. When it is your turn u can do as u wish but misinforming people one thing I made sure I stopped you from doing

advanceDNA:


... So when did I say an employer can put a salary on cos and pay another....??

U asked me for what where ukvi said 26200 or 10.75 ..I showed u....but now u are just all over the place...
...Relax ..don burst an artery oooo...u read like u are about to cry though......Hey....u still haven't pointed out what I did wrong about the 10.75 or 26200

RindeFoods:

electromagnito:

advanceDNA:


Naija employers abi??..anything is possible with naija employers because they know u won't enforce ur right because of visa sponsorship to remain in the uk

electromagnito:
In the checklist: statement of personal bank. Is this referring to statement of account showing balance or a statement letter from the bank?Thanks in advance.

SerAce:


Is it defined or undefined COS? I was told UKVI is yet to start approving defined COS.

RindeFoods:
OGA, Na NHS oo,it's a big city in England,I told my friend who's a Ghanian, He said I should just look away & move

Tristical:

advanceDNA:

Wait..im confused.....u mean u will work for hours and they will pay u for lesser hours...?? Or they will use another rate like 8.5£ per hour to calculate your total work hours??

RindeFoods:
I came in as a band 5 worker. However,band 4 salary £23,999 will be paid till I acquired my Pin,it took the board 6months to process my PIN during this time I was paid £1,100 monthly.it was tough and I complained but no serious reponse, I contacted an African snr colleague who said I should just go low and move whenever I feel like, When PIN arrived, there's still a shortage in the payment aside what's on the offer.

080bjaked:



Hmm, that's risky o. Expecially considering we are all looking forward to having ILR. We've had cases of people whose ILR applications were denied cos of tax payment issues.
Cos Home office will use the official records available to them to judge how much tax you should pay however, with a less hourly rate, it would appear to them like you are paying lower taxes which could be taken as some sort of evasion.

Poanan:


Not necessarily. The going rate for band 5 nurses is between 28 to 29k. Since that occupation is on a shortage list, he can be paid lower between 70 to 90% of the ongoing rate. What most foreign nurses do, once they pass their PIN they move.

080bjaked:


This isn't about the going rate Sir. It's about the records with the Home Office and how much they expect to be remitted as tax based on the COS that was allocated for his use.

Goodly1:

I guess you're a nurse. I believe foreign nurses recruited in to the UK are usually paid lower than band 5 salary until they've achieved their full NMC registration pin. But why they continued to pay you the low salary even after receiving your NMC pin is what I don't understand.

Poanan:


Hei u no de rest abi. Before I correct myself cos i Know it could mean this also u don pick am .

Yes, these are hard times. He will move soon, but again it is possible that the salary written on His cos is that amount but written as band 5 and then came to the UK to discover that salary is band 4. If the later is the case, There wont be any problem.

RindeFoods:
It seems you didn't get the illustration well thou. Band 4 salary is £23+k while band 5 is £26k-32k

Thanks
