Please anyone here who wrote ielts in Benin? I checked online and it seems there is no centre for ielts ukvi in benin

I also ed in benin, I had to book my exam in Lagos. When are you writing your exam? Let’s linkup

@ojbabe and Apriltreasure...... There is center in Benin city. Am always seeing candidate at my working place (protea hotel) who do come to write there exam always...... Till date.

The Benin Centre result will not be accepted for UKVI, don't let them waste money and time with this your advice. SELT is what UKVI will only accept.

it’s fine. Work start day is essentially to be discussed with your employer. If you will be late then discuss with then but a difference of 1 day is inconsequential. Besides you’ll still need to complete other checks with your employer and be cleared so the start date on the COS always a provisional one.

Good morning house. I want to ask if UK accept other IELTS test apart from uKVI especially for those going for care work and what overall band is required for a care work

They don't accept other ielts apart from UKVI version

Guys is it true that home office is planning to issue 5yrs ban on student that switched from studies to work visa without completing their studies?

Please is covid certificate and vaccine still mandatory before travel to the uk?

Hello house, thanks so much for all you do here. Please my sister hubby lives in the UK on health care visa. He returned to Nigeria last week to have court weeding with his wife who is my sister in order to have marriage certificate.

Please note:
They did traditional marriage years back with no certificate issued, and both have three kids together. During the sister hubby uk visa application, he already ticked married and included my sister as the wife even without a marriage certificate then.

Please I want to know if my sister can put in her application now as dependent considering that their marriage certificate is just a week old?

I will appreciate your advice.
Thanks
