Anyone here who had biometrics in the Portharcourt center on Wednesday (6th December)?

Had mine and application was transferred to DMC same day. But no email about DMC receiving it yesterday or today. Tracking still at Transferred to DMC.

Worried if the time lag is enough for me to be concerned. Considering DMC needs to receive it to even begin working towards a decision.

I understand DMC receives most applications the following day after biometrics.

Hello, please can I send you an email?

Seto007:
I would love to discuss something with you ,hope you don’t mind ?

No problem

Goodly1:

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.

Thank you, can I send you an email, please?

Goodly1:

Hi, hope you later sorted this out. And what was the actual cause of the error?

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.

Goodly1:

Have you checked if you're typing the date in the format it wants? Eg. 20.01.24, 20.1.24.
Also, if your job is a care job, you don't need to pay for IHS.🤷🏾‍♂️

No, it's not a care job and I'm typing in the correct format, My Cos is expiring on the 30th of next month.

cbn4main:
Elapsed work start date is not a problem at all, so long as your COS has not expired. The 28daus rule says you can start work not later than 28 days after your visa is granted.
Your intended travel date should be after your work start date.

It keep saying I should put a valid travel date.

Goodly1:

Not applied yet. What's your situation - elapsed work start date, or renewed passport?

Good morning, elapsed work start date, work start date was supposed to be 5th of Nov, now I can't even pay for IHS, after filling the work start and work end date, I filled my intended date of travel, it's still asking for a valid travel date, I don't know what to do. Please assist me.

Goodly1:
Hi everyone, quick one. If the "work start date" on one's CoS is in September and the person is applying for a visa this November (2 months after), is there any problem as the work start date has passed?

Also, if one renewed their passport a month after CoS issuance, is there any need for the employer to update the person's CoS with the new passport number before the person proceeds to apply for a visa? Thanks.

Hello @Goodly, has the person been able to apply for their visa, I'm in the same boat as this person, can I email you please?

VIicard:
No u can't

Thank you

Hello house, please can I pay for my IHS and Visa fees with a PayPal account?

Thank you, please can I PM you, I'm applying for my visa but I'm stuck.

OGINNISM1234:

Preeteeshir:

Overall band 4 is the minimum

mcwally:
Skill visa
And standard application

good morning mcwally, please what's the preferred band score needed on ielts ukvi for a skilled worker visa.

I'm applying first, my dependant will join me later, yes you can pm me.

GraceofGod100:


Please are you going with your dependant or just only you?, Please Can I PM you?.

Thank you, you just saved a soul🤗🤗

cbn4main:


Yes, it is allowed. This is similar to my case as I'm currently waiting for my course end date to elapse b4 I can switch. It is called the 28-day rule. See what the rule says:

S3.10. Once a worker has been granted permission, they should normally start working in their sponsored employment no later than 28 days after whichever is the latest of:

1). the start date on their CoS (taking into account any changes to that date reported by you before their application for entry clearance or permission was decided)
2). the “valid from” date on the worker’s entry clearance vignette (visa)
the date the worker is granted permission to enter, if they entered the UK without entry clearance under the Creative Worker visa concession
3) the date the worker is notified of a grant of entry clearance or permission to stay.”

No.3 applies to you. You can enter the uk and start working within 28 days after your visa is granted.

Cheers!

Thank you so much, then I think I will have to write the UKVI IELTS, My Cos expiry date is 30th December and my work start date is 5th of November, is it possible to go after my work start date but before my Cos expiry date?

OGINNISM1234:



Don't try it o.

They will request for UKVI IELTS.

A friend used IELTS without UKVI, attached is the response He got.

The only people allowed to use original IELTS Academy are professional nurses and doctors who have initially passed their professional examination. They are the only ones that don't need it.

They will give 10 days deadline, they won't release your passport to you so you can write another one.

My friend had to opt for Ecctis. I warned him before applying but He get strong head. However before he applied, he ensured he had all ecctis requirements and money for fast track options.

Hello everyone, good evening. Please can I use the standard IELTS general training to apply for my skilled worker visa, I already have my Cos or do I need to write the IELTS UKVI general training?
And I'm to resume on the 5th of November 2023,
It's an IT company. Your urgent response is needed thanks in anticipation.

Hello, was it possible ?

protonz:
Good day all,

Thank you.

Mitocyan:


You can register online with one of two organizations, namely British Council (https://ieltsregistration.britishcouncil.org/)
Or IDP/MOD (ielts.ng) you will find list of centers available there including centers in Benin city and you can make your choice.

Hi, have you gotten these materials ?

Samkeniyy:
Good evening All,

Please I need link to IELTS academic study materials. Kindly share with me or point me to pages that has this.

Many thanks

Hello Mitocyan, please i also want to register in benin city but i don't know any centre here, kindly assist.

Mitocyan:


Same here. It is very disturbing. CBT wrote it in Benin city. Have called them numerous times but all I’ve been getting are failed promises. Don’t even know what to do right now.

Hi Tamee, please can you send me some of the materials you used, my email address is alegehshirley@gmail.com, thank you so much.

Tamee:
Hi guys,

I took my computer based test on Saturday Dec 10, got my results today.

I paid a week before the test because a school demanded the result after giving me admission, so I had one week to prepare. I did what I usually do when I need information urgently, visit Nairaland

I saw some links to prepare here but I focused on the study materials on the British IELTS site for TEST TAKERS, I did all the practice and test for 3 days, then I paid $5 on ieltsbuddy website and I practised the listening and reading tests only.

I also watched some youtube videos esps IELTS Liz cos she was mentioned on this thread. At the end, I couldn't prepare much because I work from 8am to 9pm daily and I get home tired.

I aced it on my first try. But I have to say that I am pretty good at using words and I have a blog so English doesn't scare me. I had issues with the speaking test because I am an introvert and talking for like 20 minutes non-stop was too much for me, but thankfully, I passed that too.

If anyone needs any help, I am here. And I appreciate everyone that dropped tips on this thread cos I saw what to expect and I realize that following the rules and reading instructions goes a long way.

Hello, concerning icsl were you given the job ? And how was the interview like ?

Bakerdav:
I got d message from ics Ltd just be that hv been rescheduled for assessment test that I should login for the test with d email sent to me previously, pls have deleted d email on my address since they send me mail January, how do I do the assessment test or get the username and password back
