Are care workers employed directly by the NHS exempted from the no-dependent rule? Anyone with information about this? A friend told me this but I’m in doubt because there is no information about it on the home office website

NHS healthcare workers can still bring dependents.

Care Workers (SOC code 6145) and Senior Care Workers (SOC code 6146) can no longer bring dependents.

However, (SOC code 6141) covers NHS Nursing auxiliaries and assistants, Auxiliary nurse,
Health care assistant (hospital service), Health care support workers, Nursing assistant and Nursing auxiliary.

kindly advise

advanceDNA:


Administrative review is like one chance.. if ban its best not to push for AR..... .it's almost like they don't want their decision overturned ....ur friend needs patience ...alot of it....
Some pple wait as much as 8 months.....make i nor lie...I've seen one year.
.I'm not discouraging u ooo . Just preparing u for worst case scenario...u may be lucky though....

It's in two part...it's one thing for the Sheffield team handling the review to overturn the first mago mago decision made by the DMC.. the frustrating part is for DMC to tell u to bring ur passport back for the visa....

Send paid email ..once they respond...keep firing them following up email like 10 emails per day....dont be rude ooo...those pple are not nice....just be polite in your emails....

taalas:

timelessboy:
Happy Sunday everyone, how are you feeling today. Please 🥺 I gained employment in UK, and I need assistance from someone that can loan me £1.6k to pay the Visa fee and IHS fee from his or her end, while i return it back within 3months from the UK (with interest). Please you can quote me or send me a DM for continual conversation.

Atk1nson:


have you tried applying for a credit card ?

BeeNL:


Congratulations 🎊 👏 sincerely happy for you.

Please, did you fast track your visa application?

taalas:
@BeeNL Nope! Application was standard

BeeNL:
Then please, can the frequent travelers in the group kindly help with these questions...

1. Is it that the popular "ghana must go bag" has been banned completely by FAAN or can they still be allowed (eg if they are wrapped)?

2. Are there direct flights from lagos to Luton/Stanstead? (Final destination is Cambridge and we are thinking of the shortest possible way to go since we have two toddler's below 5yrs of age).


Thanks in advance 🙏🏽

OKOCHA1:
Good day house. Please I have a friend that observed an omission in a skilled worker visa application.

mistakenly didn’t list been denied US F1 visa before and has submitted the application.

Please what can be done.

advanceDNA:


Na 50/50....

1...Some pple don't mention their previous visa denial and they escape....we dont know exactly why...
Maybe some entry clearance officers are lenient...perhaps,mentioning doesn't change the outcome of the application so they let it go.......or they are not just thorough to look for past denial.....like i said..no one knows for sure

2...Some refuse to mention and don't escape and get banned for 10years for deception/ ommi¹ssion of information

3.u can risk it if u get mind,...my hand no dey shaaaa.....But To be on the safest side...and If u get extra money...and the past denial doesn't involve ban that u have not fully served....cancel the application and do another one if u have not done biometrics ...u will likely get a refund...
