Share the difficulty you are having with online payment

You may or may not be able to get past the security at IOM if you do not have an appointment

Are you sure you haven't used the port to book an appointment already??

I booked for my own medicals yesterday and it was seamless without any glitch

Although it took the page close to 2hours to confirm my payment ....I woke up to refresh the page and saw that my payment status has been updated

I couldn’t make the payment, that is why I am surprised

Practically, you can't use a COS twice likewise the CAS. a friend had similar issue, UKVI asked him to get in touch with the employer to re-activate the COS.

You may probably need to call their help lines(Google it) for further assistance

I strongly doubt they will listen to your complaint at the medical centre (although you can give it a try)

Hello

Just send them an email to book the appointment for you (and any other family member if its a family booking). Attached your scanned port/s to the email and write your preferred date and time. They will respond back to you within 24-48hrs.

Most jobs will require your Right to Work share code either at application stage or during documentation. With a visit visa, you wouldn't have the code.

Yeah, but the main idea is for her to be able to attend interviews physically and enhance her chances of getting a sponsorship offer first (obviously, her profile would state that she needs SW sponsorship). She can then leave the UK and apply for SW visa proper, just the same way every other person did from Naija.

Good day all . Please can a student dependant switch to skilled worker visa before the student finish their study ?

NO

Good day good people
I'm new on nairaland. Just ed but ve been following this page for some time now.

Please I ve questions🙏🏽
1. can a dependant visa applicant give different UK address to the one given by MA during his own application? As per TB test.

2. Please guys help with this scenerio.

Female name appear as (example)
Uche Michelle Adeyemo in marriage certificate and did newspaper publication change of surname ONLY without saying she wants to change her middle name also. And just put another middle name : Mary in the newspaper and affidavit , not Mitchelle.

Ie Uche Mary Adeyemo wants to change to Uche Mary Guma

Now port bears Uche Mary Guma. No change of name affidavit was done to notify about the middle name change.

Summary.
Middle name on port is different from middlename used during marriage certificate

Please will this pose a problem?

Good evening
Please I need your help, my husband was refused visa on bases that the salary on COS is less than minimum wage, the company said that they applied twice on higher wages but was denied until they reduced it. Now they are telling him to take the istrative review because its home office fault for issuing COS with less wages. I advised him to tell the company to issue a new COS so he can do a new visa application. Please advise me plsssss help!!!!

What is the minimum wage on the COS? Thought the new minimum wage proposed have not been implemented yet.

Hello Guys,
Please i will like to ask . Can my wife still use her port even when it carries her fathers surname and not mine? do we need to do a change of name on any news paper or should we just submit like that with different surname even though we are married?

Of course. I used mine with a different surname. It doesn’t matter provided you have a marriage certificate to prove you are married.

Home office does not/ cannot issue COS with any kind of wages.... It is the employer that assigns COS to a job applicant with the salary they desire to pay.... If the salary they choose is less than what home office has established as the minimum( i.e., £26,200 per year or £10.75 per hour) the application will be refused....
Check ur husband's COS....and confirm before u apply for istrative review..... my suggestion is to reapply for another application because istrative review can most times take too long even if u get the refusal decision overturned...

It depends on the job you're looking for. If it's nursing - IELTS first, CBT second, then apply for nursing jobs. If it's care assistant, you may need to do some care related online courses & then apply for jobs online, IELTS can be done much later when needed for your visa. However, care jobs are no longer easy to get on merit as an overseas candidate - I believe you must have heard how people run it street-wise.🤐
If it's any other job, you may have to google the process for working in such professions in the UK before applying.

Greetings house, must one come back to Nigeria to do wedding or court wedding before applying for a dependant visa?

Hopefullllll:

You are asking irrelevant question. This is what you can easily ascertain by yourself.

You must come to your home country, or else your husband is a UK citizen. Since you two are from Nigeria, u must come back.
