I had this issue too during my child visa application. Child was born and NPC was issued 4 years later.. A NSF was sent for clarification on the gap in the issue date. I was told to clarify this by providing either of these:

Give reason why there was a difference in birth date and NPC issue date.( I explained that i had the birth certificate from the hospital and it sufficed for most of the national requirement for the child. It was at the point of international port application that NPC was required, thus was gotten at that date. I attached the birth certificate issued by the hospital at birth and immunisation schedule)

Provide medical records of parent validating the birth ceritificate. ( I used a private hospital then, so i was able to get my lab test results on hospital letterhead, dates of appointement with their consultants and scans in their hospital and the date of birth of child. Also, a letter from the hospital validating this)

Old photos of family relationship ( I attached enough. this time ehn, i appreciated myself that i was doing birthdays for her with number on the cake each year.

Provide school records to confirm the age of child( I couldn't get this as it doesn't seem like a good proof).

They asked for either of them but i gave them like 3. She got a positive decision 3 days later.

Pls check the records very well and make sure they are on point so you don't shoot yourself in the leg.

Hope this helps.

Good morning to everyone, pls I need More clarifications on my sister and her family skilled worker Visa application,

She already got Her COS and intends to travel with her hubby and the kid's same day becos maintainance was ticked by her sponsor, she's about applying for their Visa's,

The major question is regarding her children's birth certificate, she has all of her children's birth certificate from The hospital with accurate date of birth and the accurate date when the certificate was issued that same month becos she always collect her children's birth certificate latest two week's after delivery,

When she wanted to do her children's port around November 2022, The Nigerian immigration services Said that NIN is now compulsory and the children's birth certificate is needed from NPC and not from the hospital they were delivered, they have to go and get The kid's birth certificate from NPC but the Major challenge is this, the NPC office wrote their dates and year of birth correctly but wrote date of issuance same Day they went there instead of the date of issuance in their original birth certificate from the hospital they were Born,

Right now,we heared that UK embassy only accepts birth certificate from NPC, that's national population commission, my question now is this,

1. I Hope the date of issuance Which bore year 2022 from NPC will not complicate things for Her and her family becos they have approached NPC office and they Said they can't back-date the date of issuance to the Year The kid's were Born, some of the kid's were Born in 2010, 2012, etc,

2. Pls can she attach her children's birth certificate from The hospital they were born with the One from NPC since the date of issuance from NPC is only showing year 2022 for all her kids but , everything about their date and Year of birth is correct both from the hospital and NPC, the only issue is date of issuance,

Finally pls those that has travelled with their kid's can Also shade More light on This,

I'm greatful for This platform, waiting patiently for responses.

Thank You so much.

What i meant was which date will the 28 days period start counting. is it my COS start date(Jan) or my visa vignette entry clearance date( Dec)?

see below what i need more clarification on/


When do I actually have to start working (the 28 day rule)?
Once you have been granted entry clearance/permission to stay you must start working within 28 days of whichever is latest:

The start day on your CoS (the Home Office will take of any changes reported by your employer using a sponsor note, see below);
The “valid from” date on your entry clearance vignette (that’s the sticker in your port which is your visa);
If you entered the UK without entry clearance through the Creative Worker concession, the date you were granted permission to enter;
The date you were informed of the grant of your entry clearance or permission to stay.

Hello All,

Can anyone please explain the 28 days rule of entry into the uk with a skilled worker visa?

Visa was approved in last week in December. Start date on COS is first week in January but flight ticket is booked for third week in January after approval from Sponsor.

Is there any implication as to which of the dates is valid for entry within 28 days rule?

please, how do i respond to this as Sponsor will get accomodation when we arrive.
Also, both parents applied too.
Should we book an airbnb and with statement saying we will stay there until employer sorts accomodation as we had already submitted POF

Can this affect other family application?

advanceDNA:


Entry clearance officer wey get confirmed witchcraft don enter your matter.....

Since you gave your employer's address, which is probably an office address......

the bastárd ECO probably wants you to show proof your employer has provided a standard sized family apartment that can accomodate you, your spouse and especially your minor....

ello All,

Maintenance has been ticked for both applicant and dependents by employer, I still added bank statement that shows POF for the family to still back up financial requirement. Sponsor address was added as the accomodation on arrival. now the question below has been asked in child dependent application:


Give Evidence to demonstrate suitable arrangements for your care and accommodation in the UK, which must comply with relevant UK legislation and regulations.[/b]

Please how do i go about this?

Hello All,

Still on this child dependent issue.


Under mandatory documents, there is a request to show the evidence of Main applicant permission to enter or stay in the UK. MA application hasn't been submitted yet as we want to submit together.
All these have to be ticked before we proceed with the application.


Mandatory documents
The port or travel document for dependent from Nigeria

Other documents
Evidence of main applicant's permission to enter or stay in the UK. For example, a copy of the page of s port showing their visa if issued or permission to stay if already in the UK.

Letter of consent from your parent(s) or legal guardian(s)
A letter of consent that confirms:
the relationship between you and your parent(s)/legal guardian(s)
consent from your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) to the application
consent from your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) to the living arrangements in the United Kingdom and the address where you will be staying
whether one or both of your parent(s)/legal guardian(s) have responsibility for you
Both parents/legal guardians must sign the letter of consent, except where only one parent/legal guardian has sole responsibility for you.

The birth certificate for dependent, unless provided in a previous successful application as a dependant
Change Documents.

what's the implication of this as no visa or stay has been issued yet for MA.
