Hi friends,

has anyone applied for a skilled worker visa within the UK of recent ( as in switched] ? How long is the current waiting time on the average?

I know it says it takes within 8 weeks on the uk website, but I would appreciate individual timelines.

Thanks

dee1504:
If you used Police Clearance while applying for the first visa, use the same police clearance for this, expired or not, it shouldn't be a problem. If they ask why, let them know that you are no longer in Nigeria so you cannot get a new one

You're offering a bad advice and if anyone gets into an accident or is stopped by Police on that license, they will have issues to deal with. Your international licence and any insurance you have on it becomes invalid once you're granted a UK license. Try to verify the legality of your advice please, so you don't inadvertently put people in trouble.

Many thanks. The vendor has moved it to the house, sitting in front of the house waiting for the day I would understand this insurance thing.

Hclinton:
Thanks a lot.

taalas:
Thanks alot baba

Can you clarify more on this 6145 and 6141. Stating similarities, difference in salary rates and roles

I wish to have such switch in the future,if 6141 has a clear career progression on the job

zeezeepearl:
Baba,yes I did oo, infact if patience is someone's name that should be me. For the past 1 month now I get weekly email update from HR saying practically same time 'Your sponsorship application is still in progress''

cbn4main:
At present, is 6145 still eligible for skilled worker visa?

cbn4main:
Greetings great minds.

Please, for those who recently got COS for a Care job, applied and got their Visas this September, what was the skilled occupation (SOC) code on the COS ? Was it 6145 or 6146 ?

Someone should pls assist me with a reply. Thanks.

zeezeepearl:
Pls anyone here waiting for COS?

How many months after job offer, did you wait for before the COS came through?

God help us all!

cbn4main:
Ok noted.

Application date is practically Biometric date, right?

Meaning I can apply today but choose Biometric date that falls after my spouse's course end date?

cbn4main:
Thank you boss for replying. But here is the thing;

A dependant to a student was denied switching to skilled worker visa bcs of the new rule. The case worker cited thar the new rule affects the dependant too. See the attached

cbn4main:
Good morning gurus I'm the house. Someone should help me please.

I just received my COS from my employer. I'm currently a dependant to a student (my spouse).
The start date on the COS is Oct 10, but my spouse's course end date is Oct 20.

Considering the new restriction on switching before the course end date for both students and defendants, would it be a problem if I submit my visa application after my course end date (Oct 20), which is also after the COS start date of OCT 10?

Put in another way, must I apply for a visa before my COS start date?

Would my 5 years Visa start counting from biometric date or COS start date?

Many migrants seem to be on an eternal search for an earthly utopia with ultra high paid jobs,ultra low taxes, free quality healthcare (with zero waiting lists), cheap insurance and housing, sublime weather, high levels of immigration but tolerant natives and government, a country that "works" but where they can also do as they please....

I digress 😂

ubby26:
You are just a very rude person.

I made an assumption and if it was incorrect, you could just say that and correct it, instead of assuming nonsense.
You don't know everything.

ubby26:
I am not shying away from any truth or using emotions. I just made an assumption which I stated. That's what I thought.

Lexusgs430:
Going by this your theory......... How can I drive on the Right all through to Dover, once I enter the ferry/leshuttle, it's left hand from Paris, Belgium, Holland........ All through Europe, till I get bored or reach my destination....... 😜🤔

You know the real reason......... 🤣😜

Progressivegee:
That's not right. Aside transparency of the process, one primary reason you can't swap a Nigerian Drivers licence with the UK is because of the right hand drive issue. Nigerian trained drivers would need additional training to learn RHD. Zimbabwe licence and some other African country can be swapped with UK license because they drive in the same Right Hand.

If Nigerian license is that bad, then they wouldn't allow Nigerian trained drivers drive on their roads for one year with their Nigerian license.

We no say naija no good but make we self dey calm down when criticising. Their many positives the country has

ubby26:
I think the reason why the automatic swap does not apply to Nigerian drivers license is because of the right hand driving thing. In Nigeria, it's a left hand drive so we drive on the right, and it's the opposite for UK. Most swaps I have seen are countries with right hand driving as well.

It will take some getting used too to drive on UK roads when you just arrive, and if we are being honest, most of us did not learn the right way to drive. The reorientation is necessary.

dustydee:
You are wrong. The fact that they even value our license is a good sign. Once we get our testing process in right and the necessary agreements in place, all should be good. I believe in Canada, you can skip some steps if you hold a valid Nigeria driving license.
Let's not be quick to rubbish our own and expect others to respect us.

dustydee:
Probably the same reason why you can't swap a US driving license for a UK one.

Datakey:
I have international driveline permit from Nigeria. Can I apply with that ?

Lexusgs430:
Ever wondered why Nigerian DL, could not also be directly swapped.........😂🤣

eolme:
I used it😊

justwise:
So what is your prob then?

No i have not passed my message yet and you have no right to tell me when to stop.

Again stop reading and getting worked up
