Depends...

. if u are nurse or HCA...with NHS.....yes

...just care giver....nope

So for caregiver, how can the person's spouse and kid come in later on, what's the way forward?

jogs1999:

Since it’s for a skilled worker visa, it’s fine.

Do u know anyone that did it that way and it was successful, the money came in once and that was all, just one big money shown on the statement and he/she got accepted?

Skilled worker visa is point based.Once you meet the requirements of having the money in your for 28 days irrespective of how the money entered the , you are fine.Same for student visa Pof.

Please before I pay for these Alison Certificates in care and IT courses, may I know if they hold any water, are they recognized? can one use them to get jobs in care or IT in the UK?
I have done the training, remaining paying for certificates and I would not want to pay for something that might not be used

Same here. I have over 10 certificate with Alison but I haven't paid for any yet until I confirm it is recognised in UK.

Good day, any update yet?

Good morning,
It moved to VAC this morning...no mail yet.
Any update about yours?

Good morning, No update yet, I can't even track it sadly because it was a solicitor that did the application for me. I'll just assume that it's the same as mine. What does it mean when it has been moved to VAC? How soon after moving it are you to expect a mail?

He paid for dhl.He requested for pick up service from dhl through customer service instead of delivering at his address.
Yours will come soon..They will release it this week.

This week is long already, I need this sorted by Monday. Was it same Lagos or another state? Trying to see how long delivery takes.

Also, what time of the day in July 1st did he have his biometrics?

UPDATE on Visa switch within the uk after curtailment
After a year plus in the uk with an unreliable employer that brought us in. No shifts, excuses, pregnancy redundancy etc. sought for cos for over a year and we no see. Decided to back down. Shockingly the employer curtailed our leaved without prior information. Para entered body as we have kids, properties etc. the day the we got the email from home office with 4 attachments of the curtailment letters, I was shocked, couldn't work, lost hope felt like my life has been cut short.
I came back home and told my wife that we MUST get cos within 7days if we apply the same strategy we used when we got from Nigeria. We swung into action, met a solicitor in London, that one too carry more para our existing para say make we use our uk born baby get papers bla bla bla. I went through all the immigration laws, council website, citizen advice and even found out a help on it for displaced carers etc. from same website, it took me to another website that showed licenced health and care employers in the uk only. I had to add some tech skills in my search, applying to every part of uk from England to northern Ireland to Scotland to wales and gracefully I got this employer that is leaving 30 mins walk away from us, listened to our story, had interview and gave offer followed by a cos without a dime. Infact we told the employer we would pay isc after it was assigned, employer no gree I started suspecting the COS sef. All of these happened within 5 days. The employer assigned the cos and kept quiet. After like 3 more days we asked the employer about the way forward and employer said it has been done. We said ah ah, send us the document naaa, boom email entered and it was it. Employer hasn't done it before and we appeared to be the first to be assigned by the company, lots of mistakes including sub category, work duration (1 year then corrected to 3 years) and missing ISC charge. Sponsor note was added and we applied with priority as our 60 days is already counting down. Then emailed isc and business helpdesk including work sponsor team concerning the isc error and the payment ref that was made after the error. They acknowledged the email within 24 and telling us they have returned our application to case work and Within another 24 hours case worker approved it. Its been about 17days from the time of curtailment to successful application. From the time of visa application to approval was just 3 days with priority and id app identity check.
I am happy to share this post.
I hope this answers some people's question here on NL.
