Hello everyone, For English proficiency for skilled worker Visa, they just stated IELTS SELT Consortium: 'IELTS for UKVI' or 'IELTS Life Skills'
However when I went to register, I saw IELTS for UKVI Academic and General module. Which should I register for?

Omishor2020:
Good day everyone. I'm trying to book on IOM and its saying "sorry slot is not available" even on 14th February. I try to scroll beyond to March date its still not going through. Am i doing something wrong. Please assist

Send them an email asking them to book you for test. State your full name, valid phone number, type of Visa, destination country and type of test. Attach the data page of your int'l passport. They will respond to you on or before three working days. You will first get an auto response referring you to the website, ignore it.

Don't bother going to their office, I went there, there's no point at all. I even met people from other states coming to book, total waste of time.

They respond to phone calls as well, so you can call too. Phone number and email is on the website.

Thank you.

I'm even totally new, please what processes have you done

For skilled worker Visa, the first step is to get a job offer.

I really would like to know the documents TLS require so that I can prepare them ahead, so can I create an account on TLS now or I have to submit my application first?

Sorry to bother you further. I'm trying to DIY since I've already gone far in the process.
Thanks.

Hello @achmed1,
I have been booked for the TB test for last week of October.

I'd like to know how the booking for biometrics work. Is it this kind of appointment that is scheduled or you can just walk in to capture.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.

Your degree has to be equivalent to UK BSc or higher.

Inception:
Any hope for Engineers?

What facet of engineering are you referring to? High hopes for software engineers though as there is shortage in supply in that area.

Please, if you attended a Nigerian federal/state university, just consider writing the English proficiency test. You may choose to write IELTS, PTE or any other secured test (check the UK site for guidance). My concern is that you have received your CoS but you don't have all your documents in place. Note that the COS has an expiry date.

As for the TB test, if you can prove to them that your start date is very close and you are way behind schedule, they may consider. Send a mail to them and also consider gate crashing. But you may be required to book a date online first.

Any reason for that advice regarding federal/state schools? Are the medium of instruction letters not valid or you are looking at TAT?

1. Do not submit the application without tb certificate. He should send a mail with his payments + explanation to the iom booking email . He will get a date
2. Just so he doesn't end up paying money twice, can he find out from his intending organisation if there’s a particular english test he needs as there are several tht are assessing different things
3. Cos, tb certificate, if the job deals with vulnerable ppl police certificate, english test of required

Thank you

achmed1:



I mean with a NARIC report showing that your Bachelor degree is equivalent to a UK bachelor degree and evidencing your English proficiency you do not need IELTS again, this is for the skilled worker visa. I don't know about other visa types.

It's clear

achmed1 thank you very much for responding.
Did the school send the letter to you (via email or courier) or they sent it to NARIC.
Also does it mean I can start the application and save to continue later? I was thinking I have to get all documents ready before starting that's why I asked for the needed documents.

Thanks in anticipation.

Good morning all.

Please I need your guidance . my sister just got a job in UK under the Health Care Skilled worker. She had received her COS and she is expecting to resume in November but yet to submit her application as at today. Can she meet up with the november resumption date on her COS? Also the husband want to accompany her to UK just to spend 10 days and returns to Nigeria before he finally join with the children next year . Can the husband also apply for Visa with her now ? if yes, which visa category? I will appreciate your urgent response.

Thank you

Please can you link me up with your sister so we can share ideas.
I'm in the same situation, I haven't been able to apply because of TB test and English proficiency. Has she done any of these?
How was she able to book for the TB test? the site is not allowing me book.

achmed1:
My application (Standard Skilled Worker Visa) :

Submitted Biometrics 1 September
Transferred to DMC 1 September
Application Transferred to VAC : 21 September
Travel Document Ready for collection email : 21 September
Visa Collected : 22 September

Just to give others an idea of the timeline trend.

Hello,
I have my CoS and offer letter but haven't been able to apply because I haven't done English and TB test.
1. How did you book for your TB test, the site is always saying slot not available
2. Was it any of your lecturers that wrote letter for you for the NARIC verification and how long did it take to get the NARIC feedback.
3. Besides CoS, offer letter, TB cert and English proficiency, what other documents did you include in your application?

Counting on your response please.
Thanks

Hello everyone,
Someone that can should please assist provide these calcifications.

1. My brother is having challenges with online booking for TB test with IOM in Ikeja. Will it affect his application if he applies without TB certificate?

2. What exam should he take as proof of English proficiency

He is going via skilled worker route and has his CoS. He is supposed to resume by November hence the haste.

Also is there a link to see the documents required for skilled worker route, please share


Thanks

Comes Homes and Properties Limited, Lagos, comes to mind.

I will do a post on how they scammed me. I almost lost my life if not for God.

Funny enough they are opening branches in other parts of the country.

Hello everyone,
I came across an article online about the Indian passport being the 84th most powerful passports in the world and can access about 58 countries visa free. This made me to wonder about the strength of the Nigerian passport.

How many countries are visa free to Nigerian passport and why do people crave for UK, US and even Estonia and Malta if they can go to these countries without Visa.
