@pinkyz pls someone who is not a science student or who does not have o level result in science can the person take health and social care courses or care assistant course

Greetings everyone. I wish everyone success. My wife just got her Bsc in Public Health she just started a caregiver course with Allison. With these qualifications can she get a caregiver job? Can someone share the link we could use to apply for the job? What other job could she apply for without experience? Any response or suggestions will be appreciated.

February 15 is a joke. They won't do anything on that date because of me by God's grace until I get my own visa. I'm covered by divine grace.

Congratulations! May I ask if this is priority paid processing? That was fast!

good evening good people, please can one add dependents when one is in the uk, currently I don't have any, just met a lady and we are at talking stage so I'm putting no one as my dependent yet, can I bring her over when I'm in the uk. p.s I'm on healthcare visa.

If u marry her ..she can become ur dependent then u can bring her to the uk...
But if u dont marry her yet want to bring her u will need proof u have been in relationship for at least two years

Dampops:
Money needs to be in the account of the MA for one month before applying. You can keep the money in your own account…

But if Maintenance is Ticked. I guess I don't need to include any pof then on my own end. But if my dependants are now applying. I can submit my wife's statement of account to cover the cost of her and her baby?

jennymee:
We also applied as a family of 6 and we can 3.5M in my own account as I am the MA. It is always advisable to use your own account as the MA.

February 15, February 15..... Can someone please explain what is happening on the 15th of February

Culled from law firm:

On 24/12/2021 UK Home Office announced addition of Care Workers to the UK Shortage Occupation List under Soc Code '6145 Care Workers and Home Carers'. As a result of this announcement, overseas migrant Care Workers are currently allowed to apply for Skilled Worker Health and Care visa during the one year counting from 15/02/2022.

The burning question that at present is asked by many is what next with the Care Workers after 15/02/2023. Unfortunately, Home Office is to still to provide their answer to this question, although due to the dire shortage of the local Care Workers in the UK, it is highly likely the Soc Code 6145 will remain on the Shortage Occupation List for the foreseeable future.

MAC'S APRIL 2022 REVIEW OF ADULT SOCIAL CARE

Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) in April 2022 published their Review of Adult Social Care in the UK. Migration Advisory Committee (MAC) is an independent public body sponsored by the Home Office and it advises the UK government on migration issues.

According to MAC's April 2022 Report, the UK social care sector faces additional challenges of growing demand and a restricted supply of care due to workforce shortages and budget constraints; problems exacerbated by the pandemic. MAC's projections, based on estimated future care need, suggest that the sector will need to recruit a further 236,000 FTEs over the next 11 years to keep up with growing care need.

MIGRATION ADVISORY COMMITTEE (MAC) RECOMMENDATIONS ON ADULT SOCIAL CARE HEALTH AND CARE VISA

Following review of the Adult Care Sector showing dire staff shortages, MAC provided their recommendations to Home Office. In our summary further below, we focus on those recommendations that are linked to Health and Care work visa.

MAC's recommendations:

We recommend that the Government introduces a fully funded minimum rate of pay for care workers in England that is above the National Living Wage, where care is being provided through public funds. As a minimum starting point, we would recommend a level of £10.50 per hour to be implemented immediately.

We recommend that workers in social care should be paid for the hours while at work, whether this is time spent travelling or sleeping. Whilst these hours are not being properly compensated, low paid workers are being underpaid for their time spent at work. Where care is being provided through public funds, those funds should increase to fully reflect the additional costs involved.

We recommend the removal of the Immigration Skills Charge (ISC) for all Health and Care Worker (H&CW) visas. More broadly, it would be useful to separately conduct a full review of the ISC across the entire Skilled Worker (SW) route, which was introduced some years ago and there have been substantial changes in immigration policy and its objectives since that time.

We recommend that the Government either conduct or commission research to identify administrative burdens for employers and workers that could be eliminated across the SW route.

On balance, we recommend maintaining the current salary threshold for the H&CW visa.
We maintain the recommendation that annual salary thresholds should not be prorated to allow for part-time work for migrants on the Health &Care visa.

We do not recommend any changes to English language requirements for migrants on the H&CW route.

We recommend that workers who spend the full five years working in nursing or care roles on the H&CW visa should either receive a complete settlement fee waiver or pay a lower fee, that is no higher than the unit cost of processing. The cost of this recommendation should not be passed on to other visa fees.

We recommend that there should be a review of all visa application fees more broadly to ensure that fees are affordable for people on middle and low incomes.

The MAC recommends that the decision to make care workers eligible for the H&CW visa should be made permanent, i.e., should not have an automatic sunset date.

We recommend that the Government keep care workers on the Shortage Occupation List (SOL) until the next SOL review is completed, when we will make a further recommendation.
The MAC would encourage DHSC and the DAs to work with local authorities to support the development of the market for individuals to work with a care agency to sponsor a specific care worker.

The Government could consider the introduction of a pilot umbrella scheme. Under the scheme, an umbrella body would be appointed to sponsor care workers from overseas and people who can show their level of need requires live-in care would be able to directly recruit from the umbrella body.

CONCLUSIONS ON THE MAC'S REPORT ON ADULT SOCIAL CARE

There are numerous publications on the staff shortages in UK adult care sector and on 15 December 2022, the House of Lords was scheduled to debate the staff issues in the NHS and social care sectors.

MAC has also been commissioned by the UK government in September 2022 to review Shortage Occupation List and this review is ongoing.

Care Workers and Home Carers (Soc Code 6145) are on the Shortage Occupation List since 15/02/2022 and are officially included in the List as a trial for a year only. However, In light of all the various reports, including the MAC's April 2022 review, Care Workers are likely to remain on the Shortage List for the foreseeable future. However, Home Office decision confirming this has not yet been announced.

Have a look at [url]flightscanner.com.ng[/url] they often have good deals. I mean they show all flight prices for all the airlines.

Dampops:
Mind you, your flight will be to the Heathrow or Gatwick airport. From there, you can take a coach (National Express bus to Luton). Search for flights on kayak.com

Best of luck

johnwick3:
we applied for a work visa from Nigeria in august 2022 ..in September the COS was out we applied for the visa in October and went for the bio metrics in the same October which for the main applicant was priority which is suppose to be out in 5 biz days..so we waited for weeks and we didn't get no response from them..3 weeks later we got a response asking for additional information which we provided...now we have to wait again since mid November till December 6 before we got another email saying the application was refused because they think we are trying to deceive them with one of our document. And i was so sure we didn't give any bad document..so i contact the working place where we worked and got out reference letter from...they said they contacted them and they gave them the right response and then again to the school we went and the [b]mix up was from the school where she did her 18month course...[/b]now we got the letter from the school and filled for administrative review.....its past 20days now that we have submitted the letter and write them about the whole issue we havent heard back from them and again i want to ask and know whats the assurance of getting the visa since we already knew where the issue came from and gotten a letter from them to back it up....
sorry for my write up if its not properly punctuated..lol first time using online blog...
