@Johnny121, go ahead and write the Pearson PTE UKVI exam right away. The results come back fast and they are accepted for immigration purposes. Goodluck.

Hello mate! Please which language exam did you write that is equivalent to the UKVI IELTS needed for the skilled worker visa and they let you write the exam with your National ID? I will appreciate your response. Thank you.

Hello all,

What's happens if the main applicant doesn't pass TB test? Is an employer able to wait for another 8weeks following the prescribed spectum test? Anyone knows? Thanks

Hi all,

Would appreciate if you can share how and where you are getting reference letter for volunteering for care work from.
Or even better if there is a list of places I can volunteer at. I searched but not seen much so far. Thanks all.

Hello all!

For those who went the ECCTIS route, who did your college address your medium of instruction letter to, for you to be able to use it as part of the requirement for the transcript evaluation?

I have searched the ECCTIS website and FAQSs and don’t see who the letter should be address to.

TIA.

Thank you so much for this response. That was very helpful. All the best to your siblings.

For Care job you can do UKVI academic or UKVI General or UKVI Ecctis Naric (Bsc transcript no exam) or UKVI Pte etc.

She did academic because she is a nurse. She needed to score 7.0 in UKVI Academic to qualify for UK nursing exams (CBT test). But she scored 6. so we decided she should go to UK with Care Job. So she used the ILETS for the care job.
When she gets to UK, she can write IELTS again to pursue her nursing career.

Congratulations on your sister's receiving their visa.

QUESTION: you said you sister took IELTS UKVI Academy. I was wondering if that is for a nurse / medical practioner.
I enrolled for the Lifeskill B1 test and going through the health care assistant option. Just wondering as our exams are different and if our application categories are different.

TIA as you respond.
