NIN not brp.
Oh... But there has to be a reason why your nin took six long months.. we are talking about half of an academic year. It seems so strange!

wow, but why does it take up to 20 days for them to respond? they are terrible... It is even a challenge to get a job in UK without BRP. My brother went for a job interview today, and after showing his other documents and going through the interview process, he was told that he needs to present his share code (which can only be obtained by inputting your BRP number on the gov site) in order for d employer to check your eligibility to work for 20hrs as a foreign student and also confirm from UKVI too.. So this BRP delay is frustrating, and he's one step away from getting the healthcare job, but the employer said he would have to bring his BRP when it's ready...

Since covid, a lot if things have been in a mess I must tell you (BRP, NI, Drivers licence etc). BRP makes your life easier isn't it? though employers, landlords and government agencies have links they can use to verify right to live and work with the Home office if you are experiencing delays but most are either ignorant or simply don't want to go through that route when there are other straight forward applications. Just chill for the 20days after which you should call them and send emails to the home office complaints email address. They will look into your case.

It was this year, March. But I think it will be quicker given that the lockdown has been eased off.

Don't think so. Rate is about 720 currently. It has really dropped over the past weeks.

Is this rate not too low?

Most schools are starting to request for ielts ..some have made it compulsory now..as nursing is becoming very competitive especially msc nursing ( pre-registration)…if your waec is older than 10 years, you would have to write ielts oh..if you have any grade below C4 in English,you might have to write it too. Like uni of derby rejected lots of people who did not have C4 in English and maths in waec. While for some schools , even if you have A1 in English, they would still require you to write ielts. For university of Bournemouth, if you have any grade less than B3 in English, you would need to write ielts

So just be prepared for any of the outcomes

Best of luck !

True talk.

Indeed it's becoming tougher to get in.

Many of them are now requiring 850 hours of work and that portfolio matter is just somehow.

Hertfordshire and Derby closed application for September 2022 barely 3/4 weeks after opening

Hello Everyone,

Please i need your advice.
A close pal got a UK NHS job offer and required to fill the COS form asap but his Nigerian Passport will expire in Jan2022.

Can he use the passport to fill the form now? Or need a renewed passport?

Thanks

It's not all traders on Etoro, one copies ............ grin Some of them are drunken sailors, navigating a ship........

You check their risk score and types of assets they trade ...........

When copying, best to leave funds long term ......

Traders have colour coded stars on their profiles, black been the best aka Pro ........

Some rookies too are good, hence reading their profiles........

I have no forex trading skills, but someone I am copying is a professional forex trader...... I can see the pairs he trades, I simply copy and paste too on my personal portfolio, and close trade when my target is hit....... Collect my money and re enter position with same capital, less profits ........... grin
