Dee2016:
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.

Visa Application 12/1/2022
Visa type; Skilled worker HAC.
Biometrics 14/1/2022
Tls email 26/1/2022
DHL collection 27/1/2022.
All info was gotten from this thread and less from UKVO.gov website. Truly go through the pages, you won't miss any details.
Thank you Nigerians, we did it!!!

And to the famous quote which I couldn't wait to write
"What God cannot do doesn't exist!"

tolajay:
NO!

I paid £147.50, requested for Electronic -Copy.

amehrada:
For real? Saw £140 when I checked, so there are hidden charges? E clear say na IELTS na win am.

MumJJJ:
Someone please share a current sample of UK CV format.

Please, officially, I use a different surname from my husband and children.
Will it affect anything if they're my dependants? Or should I change my surname to what they use?

Use ur old surname dont change it or else if you can also change it on your port too.... Your marriage certificate and pictures are enough proof.

aragbaboy:

The date is there January 2022

It's yours out?..mine is already 5days today it's still showing checking (in queue) I wish it comes out before end of this week though I am just hopeful

Good morning people,

Anyone knows what happens if an employer is already in the process of issuing a CoS (already applied to the home office for the CoS) but then I get another offer from another employer and want to proceed with the second employer instead? Do I have to reach out to the first employer to withdraw the CoS application or I can proceed with both companies applying for the CoS?

Has anyone experienced this? Or know anyone who has? How was it handled?

Thanks

dee1504:


Yes you can Student's copy. Alternatively, you can have it NOTARIZED (if you wish, but not compulsory)

No proof of English required for RC, however, if your documents are not in English, back it up with an official translation.

Can you please explain what you mean by template for employment information. Do you mean CV?

Thank you so much, I meant the "information about employment (both current and past)" aspect. If there is a template for it or will CV will be OK

DON'T DO THAT. It costs a lot of money to apply for CoS. The Home Office might even take steps against you for that and you will definitely be blocking the path for other Nigerians. If you didn't want the first job, why did you ask them to go ahead with the CoS?

dee1504:


The issue of Qualification does not concern Visa Application. All they're interested in is your CoS. If you raise the issue, they may deny your visa which means "Na you use your hand do yourself". As long as you have been deemed fit to do the job by the employer (YOU DID NOT FALSIFY ANYTHING!!!), and you have been issued CoS by your employer, go and apply for Visa. You're good to go bro.

Visa Tips: Submit all documents that can aid your application even if it wasn't requested for (except your qualifications). No document is too much but you can be denied if you don't give them what they requested for.

Thanks very much.
No documents were falsified. I have experience working in a care home and it was on this basis and ing some tests and interviews that I got the offer.

This thing dey spoil pathway. These people pay serious money for CoS o, now you want to cancel on them after they might have initiated the process of getting you the CoS. The trust or care home might probably not take job applicants from Nigeria serious anymore and see us as unreliable.

Not at all, I made payment on the 28th.

Una don start again.... Waiting be dey might probably not take job applicants from Nigeria �.... People in West world don't think the same as us....there is no big deal switching if you have a better offer.

Hi, I just saw this and I am very interested please. How do we proceed?

Itstemi10:
Guys, I can volunteer to start ing Nursing agencies. I only need to walk into their office and let them know my Sisters and brothers are willing to work. They are DESPERATELY short staffed in the UK and all agencies are looking for workers but the oyibos are not answering them because they get monetary benefits that pays more than full time Care job.

I will need to set up some sort of consultation on LinkedIn and can start meeting the Care and Nursing agencies soon ( Or even the NHS directly)
I believe they will ask for your application and forward their interest and pre employment letter to the home office too.
Good luck to all of you.
All the Indians and Polish will get it if we don't act fast.
If you want me to them please show your interests below.
Well-done guys.

Please, allow me to ask. You used your local transcript right? Not international, right?
And what other documents did you provide, I'll appreciate your response, thanks.

toluene23:
Then for Evaluation of Certificate/Transcript equivalence to IELTS, I av filed for it BUT I didn’t pay.

You don't need all that. Just your certificate and transcript + any other training certificates in your specialty.

Please house kindly respond to this, when applying , can i request for a certificate of sponsorship on my cover letter?

Everbody should get their vaccine card ready asap

What exactly are you applying for? That would give a better understanding to your question.

Applying for the health care Assistant

To the best of my knowledge, what you need to do is this:
1. Create an with indeed jobs UK or NHS jobs UK.
In the course of creating the , you will have to fill out your personal details, academic/professional qualifications, certifications and experiences.
It's more like an online CV that creates easy access for applications.

2. Using the search button, look for jobs with tier 2 sponsorship.(For eg, type care assistant jobs with sponsorship).
Vacancies relating to such would appear and you apply for the ones that best matches your profile.
If shortlisted, you will be invited for a virtual interview usually via Microsoft Teams.
If successful and the organisation is willing and ready to sponsor you, after their background checks, they will then issue you a CERTIFICATE OF SPONSORSHIP for visa application.
