Mrskolapo1:
Yours is not health care job?

Nope. Mine is academic job. Lecturing.

Mrskolapo1:
did you know they were going to give you the cos while waiting?

After job offer, I was sent some steps to follow including DBS check. At some point, I demanded when COS will be issued then I was told to wait. 7 weeks wait appeared long but I didn't have a choice.
In between, I got my TB test, mobilised funds for IHS n visa fee, did ECCTIS and police clearance etc.

Joshtoch:
Date of Visa application. 28th March
Biometrics 29th the next date
Got collection mail on 13th of April.

Thanks for the reply. Yours was 12 working days. Mine is now 16WD. I guess yours is a healthcare related job ? Anyway, 16WD is too long. Ill keep hoping it comes soon enough.

COS came after 7 weeks of job offer

Do you mind sharing details like:
Date of visa applic
Date of Biometric:
Date it was sent from DMC to Vac

For mine:
Visa applic: April 4
Biometrics: April 8
Visa still being awaited.

Joshtoch:
I applied around that period and mine came out two days before Easter. So, maybe visit their office, call or send emails to find out reason for the delay.


quote author=santos247 post=112547464]Hello house,
Has anyone (or you know anyone who) submitted work/study visa from Mid march and got a visa or waiting for outcome? I want to have idea of the turnaround time.
The standard work visa is 15 working days but there has been delays. I just want to have an idea of how long the delays have been.

Emurate1:
It's stated on UKGOV that it takes 3 weeks. And I know 3 weeks is more than 15 days. How did you come up with 15 days?

15 workings days= approx 3 calendar weeks. Where there are public holidays, it then becomes more than 3 calendar weeks. My earlier post was "working days"

I am even looking at maybe factory work, packagaing etc. that would reflect on NI. Is it possible?

Lexusgs430:
Do you have a skill (iṣẹ ọwọ), to collect cash with your ọwọ...........

Apart from online gigs et al., are there part time jobs one can do in UK that wont reflect on your NI? For example casual jobs where you get paid by hand?

If Rishi thinks it was morally right, to allow his wife dodge tax and be a British MP, whilst holding a green card.......

Do with this also, what you may .........

Thanks so much .

Hello house,
I need help with accommodation in Loughborough from May 2. I am willing to pay any reasonable amount as it will be cheaper than hotel/airbnb. Any location from Loughborough to Nottingham will be fine.

Hello house,
I need help with accommodation in Loughborough from May 2. I am willing to pay any reasonable amount as it will be cheaper than hotel/airbnb. Any location from Loughborough to Nottingham will be fine.

Hello House,
Is there anyone who recently resumed at any of the following universities:
University of Nottingham
Nottingham Trent University
University of Loughborough?

I need some counsel from someone schooling or residing in that axis. Thanks

Does Lagos tls accept walk-in submissions?
I had to submit my visa application today outside Nigeria and the submission fee was charged by TLS-almost-N96k naira equivalent.
ON their booking system, self-service slots were either non-existent or only 1 per day for several weeks away. I needed to submit for a family of 4. It costs over N440k to submit visa lasan...
This UK system is just collecting money anyhow.
HAs anyone had such similar experience?

VirileNelly2420:
Bigger in land mass mean. And consequentially bigger in natural resources.
If little North Korea can survive with dia limited resources both in human perspective.

...don't tell me Russia can't!

Most of the land is empty, not inhabited. Not much of mineral resources either. It's the reason Moscow and St Petersburg are the main popular cities. Others places are sprsely populated. The entire Eastern part of Russia for example is like ghost land as you move from one area to other across long distances.

Your analysis is bogus. RUssia is bigger than the whole of the US. Bigger in what sense? Landmass?
Of what value is the landmass? Russia can start their own world? MIgrate to MArs and colonise it? JUst like china? Which world is china "doing"?
Chinese elites who love liberty are migrating to the west en-masse. IF not for business, people like Ali Baba will acquire US citizenship.
The majority of Russia's land is unhabitable, not resource-rich and hence their economy is not as big as Germany for example. In fact, combining the economy of China+Russia+India, it is still smaller than the economy of the USA alone.
China's economy is largely dependent on manufacturing-process that can be replicated elsewhere if hostilities begin with the west. China wont risk its economic freedom in the defence of Russia.

VirileNelly2420:
Wen u're threatening a worker with sack action only for him to present u a resignation letter.

EU threatening boycotting Russian gas, while Putin takes d lead from dem. Now we'll know who holds more value.

Do u know Russia is 40% of d entire Europe?
Russia is two times larger Dan the whole of USA....

So tell me, ain't dey enough to start their own world? ....just like China.

HEllo house,
I have money in my Nigerian account but I want to make online payment denominated in South African Rands. What channels can I use?
Any idea what the exchange rate could be. I need to pay up to R30,000.
Thanks

milkytins:
This is also my situation and my calculations.
But someone said it will be more than this when you are about to make the payment on their webpage.
Take the student's visa as an example, £470 per year but they charge $1,018 per year when you want to make the payment. $1,018 is far more than £470.
Probably, £624 for a skilled worker could be far more than £624 at the point of payment.
Anyone that just passed through this process of skilled visa can pls share more light.

It was indeed more. Apparently, my visa duration will have an added 4 months, so they add the health surcharge for that half year. I was thinking I will pay around 624*3, for 3 yr visa, I ended up paying over about 2184 pounds which is plus an extra 312 thereabout.
UK money collection strategy is on a different level oo

ariesbull:
You no get sense shaaa
... You think that gas is only for heating..... It is for electricity.... You use gas to generate electricity... It is called thermal electricity different from hydro electricity

So how will they generate their electricity

Don't insult people simply because they express a differing opinion. I don't know you but I know your sense is very limiting.
All that EU uses gas for can be substituted. Its called energy mix.

annieberl:
Congratulations. Please did you get a care job? Kindly check your mail. Thank you.

No. It is an academic appointment. A lecturing job. This thread has been valuable to me in the last few months hence my keeping tabs.
I just wanted to assure people that the time interval between a job offer and CoS could be quite lengthy. Cheers

I got mine yesterday. Job offer was Feb 2. CoS APRIL 1. EXPected resumption date is May 3.
I think it was delayed deliberately, maybe because of backlogs.

akaprince:
Hi Sarssy, Have you gotten your COS yet? How long did it take to get assigned? Is it a Care home job?

Thanks to revert.

You are correct. But dont forget that when Russia is unable to earn massive income from gas supply to Europe, it will double down. It will hurt Russia more and quicker than hurt Europe which is paying more when alternative supply route is available.

mach7:
Your comments shows that you don't understand the gas market. Russia is the world's largest Exporter of gas..

Europe is the second largest consumer of gas after China. Russia already has long-term fixed contracts with China, South Korea, Japan, Turkey, India and Pakistan. It also exports LNG to Africa, South America, South East Asia and also to Europe.

What Europe will do, is to request Qatar to replace Russia's supplies which it will be unable to do because they don't have the same production capacity that Russia has and secondly, the cost will be almost 5-6 times more than Russian gas (piping gas is considerably cheaper that transporting as LNG via ships).

the European economy will be wrecked.

EU is already in Spring. They cant freeze to death. Ahead of next winter, EU should strategise. Use of coal, vegetable oil are quick options aside from the massive importation of liquified natural gas.
Let Russia lock the taps and we see for how long the Russian economy can stay afloat without revenue when foreign reserves are already frozen. Let's also see how it can sustain a war under such local stringent home economy conditions.

EU can give tax waivers for the importation of LNG to keep the prices lower. These countries survive extensive months of general lockdown for several months. We will see who shifts ground first.
Airbus used cooking oil to fly plane. The end is coming to petroleum holding the world to ransom.
https://www.bbc.com/pidgin/tori-60945602#:~:text=Airbus%20say%20e%20don%20complete,cooking%20oil%20and%20waste%20fats.

Necessity is the mother of invention. During WW2, the development of the atomic bomb became a matter of urgency. MAybe Putin's war will trigger the development of alternatives to petroleum on a global scale.
Good luck to all Russians for delayed salary payments from May/June.

I am also trying to get details of this payment. MIne is not health related visa but still a skilled visa.
If I intend to apply as a family, does it mean a 3 year visa will cost me:
Adult: £624 x 3X 2 adults +
Kids: £470 X 3 years X 2 persons
That is a whooping £6564 for health surcharge alone.
How will the visa fee look like?
I need information from those with experience in the house.

[color=#000099][/color]

milkytins:
1) Has anyone recently paid for IHS through skilled worker visa? Pls, what is the actual cost?
The official webpage says £624 but someone said it will give different amount at the point of payment.

2) Can I use Naija pounds account to pay because the amount will be in dollar? Will there be any extra charges for using pounds account to pay the dollar fees?

Thanks.

milkytins:
1) I waited for 3 months. I was told was a general delay from the UK government.
2) By the details on the global talent, I don't think you are qualified. I will advise you get to UK through skilled visa before looking into global talent route.

Humm...ok o... I have resigned my previous job o and I need to resume new position to earn. They must respond sharp sharp oo

Hello house, I need guidance on these issues
1. Has anyone got a Job offer but CoS is delayed. What can cause delay in issuance of CoS? Offer came letter came Feb 2. Expected resumption date is May 3. I am still waiting for CoS as at 30-03-2022.
2. Anyone applied for the global talent visa instead of the normal Tier II skilled work visa for an academic position. I read one can apply for endorsement alongside Visa application in the global talent visa. If endorsement is not granted, will they consider the person for another visa type like the Tier II visa?
I am asking this for a Lecturing Position (with PhD) in the UK.
I will appreciate your comments and advice.
Thanks

THis thread seems to be cold.
Anybody around please??[/quote][color=#000099][/color]
Thanks so much broi am still expecting the CoS oo...I have all the documents ready. Atast, Ecctis, TB and Police clearance . The school seems to be delaying. What could cause a University to delay issuance of CoS?
By the way, if the CoS is issued as it's Tier 2, do you suggest I ask them to modify it to global talent?
T for Thanks sir.

Thanks so much. I also was setting my expectation on the 10 days thing. HAving submitted, I saw they set the expected result for 30 working days. I really need the outcome faster but I dont think i want to pay for the 48 hrs thing,
By the way, it is cheaper to write IELTS UKVI than paying this ECCTIS.

DeeOneBangin:
I checked the website now and I can still see 10 working days. I advise you check again

Hello guys,
How long did it get to get through the ECCTIS certification. I see on their website that it takes 30 working days. Could the outcome be earlier without paying the fast track?

Would you mind sharing some here? Thank you in anticipation.

Prosperity4All:
Pathways are excess.

dee1504:
The answer to all your questions is YES. As long as you are focused on what you want, you can do anything.

As for your last question, you need to consider your work hours before taking other jobs cos if you're meant to be at a job within a particular time, whether there is work to do or not, you must be there. You also need to plan your schedule well to avoid overworking yourself.

I hope this helps.

Please permit me to ask:
Are there pathways for a caregiver to transition into a full fledge professional nurse. Are there training opportunities within UK that alllow studying nursing while working as a caregiver. Most people moving from Nigeria are middle aged (25-40). Each person will have aspirations for career mobility. What options exist?

Hello, house,
If somebody without a formal health-related qualification manages to secure a caregiver job in the UK, are there Nursing colleges or other institutions where one can professionalize and become a qualified nurse.
Are there nursing schools (or equivalent colleges) that one can attend while working? I think this will be very crucial for all people who want to change careers to health care permanently.
Any suggestion of such schools/colleges in the UK?
