Visa alert.

Whew. This has been grueling so far.

Started the journey from student visa. At the point I was contemplating which university to pick and pay deposit, offer letter came with some conditions which included TB test. Apparently someone didn't clear tb test after COS so I needed to do the test before sponsorship certificate. Did it at ikeja.

Dhl delivered port to me yesterday evening with my vignette.
Waiting for dependents own which was standard application.

The info here and the student visa thread is worth gold if you can read, jot or screenshot, research.

Ps. I don't know if it's just me. But suddenly to resign from my job here and just travel suddenly seems hard for me to do.

W W! Congratulations to you and your family, Davidonkonsults! Your Naija job must be paying you well for you to find it hard to resign. Just 'dash' it to someone who needs a job. LoL...

Davidonkonsults:

Some people are in a hurry, some don't know how to research and have no plans to learn even though they want to study at the MSc level in Uk, some have little to zero comprehension skills, and some are just plain lazy and entitled expecting others to do the work and give information on a platter of gold.

LoL...

vanod:
Hello everyone good evening,

I just got my COS few days ago with maintenance ticked, flight ticket, one month accomodations, do i need to add POF?

Hi Vanod, you don't need PoF anymore as long as your employer ticks maintenance for you. You're even lucky they added all this 'jara' on top for you.
What occupation is this, and is it with the NHS? Congratulations to you!

Abubanty:
Good morning all, pls my wife is a nurse and she has been applying to UK for a while on indeed, app trac but plenty unfortunately mails. Pls any tips?

Apart from the fact that it is very normal to get these "unfortunately mails", You have not been paying attention to detail especially in the ing information column on track jobs. That column has to be very rich

Thank you, is not NHS job, Senior Care job

LPTC is a useless organisation they will promise heaven on earth but can't deliver after collecting the money. At the end they will present you with option of switching to a body that is dormant. In my case I reported the to ATHE and they ended up blocking me and still referring me to LPTC that is a scammer. They can't offer you any job what they do is what other agents do which is money for COS nothing special. I will not recommend anyone to do business with them as they have high level of incompetence but if after this you decide to go with them I wish you best of luck

Yes. Each application is individual.

The dependents link to the main applicant with the MA's GWF number, evidence of marriage for spouse, birth certificate and consent letter from both parents for the kids.

If on a skilled worker health care visa, I don't think you or your dependents pay IHS.

I don't know what visa you are on. And I'm not clear on if working in health care even though not the HC visa carries same IHS waiver.

Pls how much is the priority application?
Congratulations to u

My brother, you and me both. I have been having a hard time about how to resign. whether I should tell one of my Partners out of courtesy or I should just drop the resignation letter. I am leaning towards just dropping the letter sha because they were playing politics with my confirmation. They even employed someone younger than me and who does not have my qualification and put her above me. Yea, I definitely dropping the letter without telling anyone. Bleep them. lol.

Good day house.. please what could have happened. I have been trying to fill police character form online. It will always refer me back to invalid phone number and my number is valid.

It's 250 pounds. Unless there's a sudden 100% hike since I paid.
