You village pple don finally locate ur UK address or the Entry clearance officer is on a Columbian-venezuelan cocaine mix

The likely cause is that ur employer made a mistake when filling your COS online, so what u select n ur visa form won't really matter..... did u see the email sent to your sponsor with your two eyes??

Lol..it is most likely that the cash worker is on drugs actually.
I saw the mail with my eyes. The assertions made by the case worker was false: That, I selected visa duration of 3 years or below while my COS is for 3 years and above.
My COS is for 6145 and it's eligible for HCW. I just don't know why the case worker totally neglected it and took it for an ordinary SW visa. I wonder when SOC 6145 became an ordinary SW visa.

And again, if they neglected HCW I applied, how come they didn't tell me to pay for IHS?

Hello everyone, I just stumbled upon this thread. Please I need information concerning UKVI tests for my wife, who is applying to work in the UK as a Health Care assistant, can we through IDP instead of British council because IDP has a test centre in our present location (Ile-Ife) while the nearest location for British council is Osogbo. I also want to ask if it is compulsory for her to present Care certificates.

Ensure that whatever English test she's taking has UKVI attached to it, so as to avoid tears.🤷🏾‍♂️

Sure, we will take note of this.
Thanks for your response.🙏

How much did you pay for your visa application

I paid £551 which is the correct fee for HCW for 5 years visa. Now, the case worker is requested additional £533, making it a total of £1,084 ( equivalent to an ordinary SW visa for 5 years)

Ok I now understand. I just paid mine too and I was asked to pay $700

Thanks a lot advanceDNA, I will do the needful. Pls do we need to backdate the court document or it doesn’t matter if it carry’s present date ?

advanceDNA:

Ukvi asked u for court document that awarded u sole custody.... Just one thing.... Baba ...just one thing....and u kept adding all manner of things ...

.which one is sworn affidavit again tori olorun?? Did ukvi ask her for sworn affidavit ?? U submitted a consent letter from her and it didn't mean anything to ukvi, they refused the visa application... So what will a sworn affidavit from her mean?? What do u want to accomplish with it.??..

Picture?? I don't know oooo...Does the picture show proof u have sole custody??
Ukvi said u should send court evidence u have been award sole custody.... If the pictures further strengthen proof that u have sole custody...go ahead... Shaa don't shoot urself in the leg with what they didn't ask you....

If u are submitting fresh application you will submit proof of funds for your child..that's normal .....

Noted. Thanks a lot, I appreciate.

giselle237:
you need a court order stating you have SOLE responsibility/custodianship signed by a Judge to reapply for this child and not a cover letter.

If you click on the link that's sent to you by the case worker, seems the application fee has been increased, on the site. It's £1084 for 5 years, and £553 for 3yrs.

Good morning great minds.
My wife just grot her COS from London Abulance service as a paramedic to resume duty Jan 2024. I have a baby who will be 6months by December.

What do you advise
1, Everybody goes by all means( Fund is huge)
2, She go alone with the funds available for now and after 1-3 months she send invite for us to her by then she must have settled down a little.

Secondly how's life for a single mum overthere pending when we her.

[quote author=tobaseye post=126763081][/quote]
No, that amount you mentioned is for SWV, not HCWV. £551 is the correct amount for HCWV for 5yrs, which is what he duly paid.

So, what's your employer saying about the whole situation? Have they tried to explain the error to UKVI?

[quote author=tobaseye post=126763081][/quote]

The link the case worker sent is for an ordinary skilled worker visa and not a health and care worker visa. The former is £1,084 while the later is £551 all for 5 years.

Goodly1:

My employer said I should relate with the Home office and explain to them.
I was just surprised that such a misunderstanding can happen at that level.

Again, why didn't the Home office send me an NSF? Rather, they emailed my employer.

Anyways, I have written a cover letter explaining in details. Hopefully, they will action it and do the needful.

Hi There, i would advise you from an experience standpoint ( coming from a person that has stayed abroad for 4 years).
If your funds at the moment can only her, let her go first.There are several benefits to this which includes but not limited to:
1. She can fit into a shared accommodation (has her room or en suite if that is available) and this will be taken cared of from your current budget.
2. She can start work and not be bothered about rushing home for the kids, this allows her focus and get her feet.
3. There is no timeline for dependants to her (however study the times and revolving laws of the british gov)
4.The icing on the cake, once she settles down, you do not need to show huge proof of funds for each dependant when applying as she is already in the UK. I recently did an application and If am not mistaken, first dependant is around 350 pounds, subsequent dependants around 250 pounds each
So kindly refrain from all going at the same time as it will most certainly be a nightmare...Getting house these days is crazy as you dont have rent history and you cant just rent a house based on your pocket size, it has to be according to your family size and gender mix.Having said this, i know someone i warned and he ignored my warning, he was messed up greatly and one thing here is that, everyone has obligations and no one (few people) will be able to help. Once again, congrats on her job, thats a steady job that will lead into ILR easily as its an on demand job.. Don't rush , this requires a project management mentality with respect to planning instead and rejoice.. Cheers

first dependant (You) and second dependant ( your child)
Thats the Hack

From the COS details, I can't see anything suggesting that you are not eligible for HCW visa.

You will need to provide your appointment letter from your UK employer (sponsor) and an introduction letter from them also, stressing the fact that you are eligible for the the visa.

Other people in the house can suggest more.
