Good Evening Everyone,

Please I will like to ask if there is any HSC online course that is below 12months.

Also is it advisable that my husband should be the principal applicant?.... Is the adult care job favourable to women or men?

I just want to increase our chances in getting it right.

Thank you

Visa Alert!!!
Hehehe I've longed to type this since I discovered Nairaland in September 2020 when my husband was waiting for his second canadian visa application which he got a refusal. I was a strong follower of the Canada students thread.
I am from Kenya and I told myself wherever Nigerians are going we will go. That's how we started our journey for UK Student visa which never went far as we didn't have the amount required in bank statement.
My second option was to apply for Skilled visa which actually should have been my 1st option.
I did blind application to companies that were offering sponsorship and I got an offer and a CoS.

Hi everyone,
What happens if you already got a job and a CoS without an NVQ 3 certification, just some background working in a care home.
Does the issue of the certification come up with the Visa application?
Urgent response please...

Thanks

NO!

Your employer is confident of your skill set that's why they've issued you the CoS.

You can proceed to visa application. They won't request any other documents accept the ones your employeer requested.

Hi
What about the whole Ecctis thing for PhD holders, it's confusing... Am not a PhD holder, do I really need to do that?

LOL...Since you're not a PhD holder, then you need not worry about it.

As I explained, your CoS is your ground for a hitch-free visa request.

Your employee must have done especially background checks on you and your suitability for the role before issuing the CoS.

I know I have link to companies recruiting carers and not senior Carer. They are sponsoring. I just need the person to do a training in Nigeria before helping to apply here. I totally understand as I am in the system here. Thanks

Hello, Clarine. Could you share with us some of the links you say you have, please? We're all here to help one another to succeed in any way we can. Cheers.

Hello, GiggsTk. Congratulations to you! Having a CoS doesn't always automatically guarantee one getting the SW visa or HACW visa - this is at the sole discretion of the UKVI. Stories have been heard of people who were denied visas at the last minute because of issues such as not possessing appropriate qualifications, amongst others. However, since visa applications are mostly treated based on individual circumstances, you can go ahead and give it a try - your case might be different. Cheers.

Thanks, bro, my case has to be different for good o.
I'll try to make all the necessary enquiries and do all that's necessary before making the visa application then.

Hi

One of the requirements for the visa application is proof of knowledge of English. You can do this with an IELTS result. Alternatively, if you have a bachelor's, master's or PhD degree that was taught in English language, you can have it evaluated by Ecctis (NARIC) and then use the statement issued to prove your knowledge of English. The steps and requirements for Ecctis evaluation are spelt out on their website. Cheers.

Thank you.... So it's not part of the documents I will have to submit to tls?

Hello house I studied medical biochemistry but I never practiced because I work in FMCG.So here’s the question can I apply for the the UK health and Care worker Visa since I studied Medical biochemistry
Urgent reply please

Good evening house. Kudos on the great job you do.

I did my biometrics for a standard UK visitor visa in VI in early December but I'm yet to get the visa. Many who did theirs around the third and last week in December have gotten theirs. I have reached out to UKVI but all I was told is that it is awaiting a decision.

Please is there a way to check what's really causing the delay or has anyone got a sure way to TLS VI?

Thank you.
