Its technically their COS....
And its not a bad idea since the company has a legal advisor that handles immigration paroles....
Sit back...and wait for ur visa if u are already in the uk....or jst go for biometrics when they are done if u in nigeria

Good evening everyone.
Please I need your assistance.
I'd like to know if one can upload documents by themselves on the TLS website if you choose Victoria Island. I heard it can only be done if one chooses Ikeja TLS centre, how true is this? Any assistance would be appreciated thank you.

Good evening everyone one.
Please is it necessary to add your university certificate to your ecctis when submitting for biometrics?

I recently did mine at the same VI, and I uploaded all the required documents myself. There are option for both self and assisted service. It depends on you, which one to choose.

Hello Generalkoke, it's so sad to learn about this. However, it's the ugly reality some have found themselves in. You'll have to apply great wisdom in how you choose to go about this, cos if you get into a confrontation with your current employer, they may withdraw/revoke your CoS and you know what it means - for them, they may just face a fine or loss of their sponsorship licence; for you it may mean having to go back to Naija.

If you wish to pursue it legally and need some guidance, you may seek professional counsel from a labour-matters or immigration lawyer. First of all, you may have to write an official letter to the complaints unit of your company to formally appeal your redundancy, and follow your company's rules for making such complaints.

Also, you can enquire about labour unions, such as Unison, that may be able to assist you in fighting for your rights. I've specifically searched and found the links below which I hope would provide useful information and assistance to you and others:
-> https://www.acas.org.uk/your-rights-during-redundancy/appeal-a-redundancy-decision
-> https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/work/discrimination-at-work/discrimination-at-work/checking-if-its-discrimination/check-if-your-problem-at-work-is-discrimination/
-> https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/work/dismissal/check-your-rights-if-youre-dismissed/dismissal/check-if-your-dismissal-is-fair/

However, at this point, my advice to you, and others in similar situations, is to fall back to aggressive job hunting...
In addition to the suggestion already made by Dee1504, you may also wish to check out your current local county council's careers website and apply for social care jobs, or any other shortage occupation that you're qualified for. You can also apply to other nearby county councils and/or CIC organizations, in case there are no SWV eligible roles in your current local coucil. Most of them are willing to take people, especially in-country candidates with a valid driving licence, for community support worker roles. I wish you all the best of luck.🙏

PS: Please do keep us updated on your progress.

Have been in the Uk for two months my employer keeps posting me about job provision,with no certain start date in place infact I believe they have nothing no job to give..it’s two months now No steady income through my NI& tax ain’t being paid too..After complaining employer said I can pay 244pounds for them to pay the government my tax and my ni.with full salary slip issued in the process..Can the visa be revoked when salary is not flowing?

Can the skilled worker visa be revoked. Yes. It can.

To go alongside labour unions and labour/immigration lawyer is to engage ACAS (not necessarily for dispute purposes).
Should things gets bad to the stage of your current employer withdrawing/revoking your COS, they would most likely, without fail, do everything to rope you in as complicit or accomplice. Why? Because they would want to save face in the hefty fine they'll be slapped with and revocation of their license. Of course, whichever way, they'll still slammed. However, from the way you portrayed them (your employer), they will take you along with their fall.
Also, they (employer) would want to 'punish' you for getting them in the 'dock'. So, they'll not want you to enjoy the 60 days grace to hunt for another job in the UK.

Good day house, please I'm to fill a post employment form given to me by my employer. In the health question, A yes or no question is asked about High blood pressure which I've had in the past but has been stable for months now. Should I declare the past issue or I should leave it as a No? Thank you all.

As long as it does not impact your ability to work, you don't need to declare. If it does affect your ability to work, then you need to declare.

good evening here my honorables I really need an advice on int'l driver license ,some said I will need to secure one but the issue here it's the insurance payment that was more higher than the passport itself. is it a most to pay the insurance charges nii

Good day house,
I have a questions please.

1if you are on a skilled worker visa, and you decide not to travel with your wife and children for now because of financial constraints, can they apply to join you later; say after 6 months?

2. If you apply at the same with your spouse and children (dependant visa), must they travel with you at the same time? Or they can decide to join you after 6 months?

1.Yes they can apply to join anytime as long as main applicant's visa is still active....

2. If u visa came out same time...they can join later but the i dont think it can be 6 months

.the vignette or visa sticker usually has limited usage window...which is usually 3 months. ..meaning they have to enter the uk before it expires....

Chief the question is if NI/Tax is not being paid can the visa/sponsorship be revoked by the home office? Cos I heard people pay their company money to pay their tax .
