Hello house, my sister is about to try out her hands on the health care japa thing and someone in the UK already assured of cos , and advising that the process start ASAP so as to beat the dependant issue thing
I am asking for an honest advise if it's worth going ahead because I also understand the home office is getting stricter with rules and regulations this days..But what i also understand with the UK is that they don't use a non existent law to disturb anyone until the date it's announced.
Again i ask for a honest advice going forward

This forum have been quite for some days.. so I applied for my visa on the 20th December (no priority), I received a mail this morning from TLS that a decision have been made. 2hrs later, another mail that my travel document is ready for collection (I optioned for a DHL delivery anyways). My confusion now is that, no mail saying if my visa was granted or not. No BRP mail either. If tension no kill me, na small go remain

IMPORTANT OFFICIAL UPDATE FROM UK IMMIGRATION BODY 🚨

From Spring next year (March 20, 2024 - May 31, 2024), UK WILL NO LONGER ISSUE DEPENDANT VISA FOR HEALTH CARE WORKERS ( Nurses, Doctors etc).

So, Healthcare Workers would No Longer be able to bring their Spouses and Children on Dependant Visa

In Short

If you plan RELOCATING TO UK AS A HEALTHCARE WORKER (Nurse, Doctor etc) and you intend taking your Family along OR bringing your family to join you

ENSURE YOU DO THAT BEFORE MARCH 2024
Good morning everyone plz how true is this

Samguine:


I am not sure, but I believe nurses and doctors are exempted. Only care workers will be affected. I will confirm

oyoirabor:
Visa application was refused (although no mails from UKVI yet for refusal reasons) passport was returned blank today

Contacted employer and she mentioned their license was revoked on the 26th of December being the reason why our application submitted on the 13th December was refused.

Will it be a red flag if re-applied with a new employer (CoS) this same month.

@advancedDNA & other gurus please advise.....

advanceDNA:


Well....it's not a crime to be chasing multiple employers or jobs at same time ...so it's not a red flag per se if u have two COS within a short period....just make sure ur application is air tight...... they will definitely try to shake u and ur employer to see if ur job is genuine..

Some ECOs have started asking employers for proof of interview, job post or how employee applied for job......


In other news .. we need to be careful....these "funny" employers are losing their license on a steady because they did not pass the basic requirements of the care quality commission ..... Someone came in and the following month employer lost license..... Ótilor .......if u know what I mean

....its almost as if home office allowed all this people because they know they will come and start bouncing both employers and workers later after they have raked in enough visa fees....

oyoirabor:
Thanks a lot. Again I have existing 2 years visa on my passport issued last year, just wondering if it's still valid after this refusal on a dependant visa application.

Hi all,

Do we have anyone that teacher/tutor for UKVI IELTS please? i need someone to help my brother on one particular column ''Reading'' he has sat for the exam for 5 time and gets the same result on the band.

If you know any good tutor please let me ASAP.

Many thanks.

Hello everyone, Skilled workers in the UK, please I have a plan, but I would like to know if it's a good one.

Can one go through the visitor's route to secure a job and then come back to Nigeria to apply for a work visa, since switching from a visit visa to a work visa in the UK is impossible?

I intend to visit the UK next year and while there, I will be applying for jobs hoping to get sponsorship, that way I can come back to Nigeria and the company can issue me a COS.


Thank you.

Goodly1:

Google for IELTS Liz, practise with all her videos and also learn more on her website. You only need a minimum band score of 4.0 for this HCW Visa. Good luck.

Goodly1:

Your overall band score is good but you also need to be sure you scored at least 4.0 in each of the 4 sections/modules.

electromagnito:
Defined means applying from outside the UK. In this scenario, yes, my Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) is defined. The HR department at my research institution mentioned a delay in issuing CoS during this time of the year. I speculate that many companies have used up their annual allocation, and the UK Visa and Immigration (UKVI) is likely delaying until January to start mass issuances.

Hello @electromagnito

I wanted to ask if you have received your cos as i have been waiting for mine since Nov.23 . Honestly it's really mentally tiring having to wait this long. Today make it 6weeks already. Has anyone received CoS recently pls?
