Hello everyone,

I want to apply for my dependants' visa (they are still in naija), but I want to use my account here as their proof of finances.
Do I have to write a consent letter concerning this? As it's my name on the account, or should I just submit the statement of account?

Thanks in anticipation for your response.

Good day everyone,

Please I would like to ask anyone who has recently booked the medical test with IOM recently.
I have been trying to book for my dependants' medicals but it seems IOM's site is not functioning well, as all the dates till June seem not available, but I tried this morning and there seemed to be a date. While I was trying to register them on the site to continue, I kept getting response that the site encountered an error. I tried calling their numbers but they have been busy all day.

Please what can I do?

I will advise anyone coming for PGCE to have enough money for rent throughout the session and ensure that you pay the full amount of the school fees as the course is mentally and physically tasking. You won't have the opportunity for part time job until summer, unless that person is a superman.

My journey so far in the UK. (Please pardon my long epistle. This is to encourage someone.)

I came to the UK in 2020 via student visa for PGCE Primary with QTS (Initial Teacher Training) in the University of Wolverhampton. Training to be a teacher in the UK was not an easy feat for me (I did not have time for myself, neither could I do any part-time job until summer.) We had lectures Monday to Friday from 9am till 4pm, after which we were given loads of assignmnents. We had two placement blocks - one during the autumn term and the other from spring 2 term till the end of summer term. During the placement days we were going to our placement schools like teachers (i.e full-time). My first placement went smoothly in key stage 1, but trouble started during my second placement. I was placed in a challenging school in Walsall with students that have aggressive behaviours (year 6). I struggled with my teachers' standards and at the end the placement was declared a failed one in June. I was told I could resit the failed placement in the next academic year at no cost but for teacher training, you can only resit a placement once; I also had to look for a school myself. Furtunately for me, during the summer holiday, I was able to get a school in Norwich that was ready to take me in as a student teacher and I could start in September.
September came, and I started my 13-week placement with no issues. The school was a nice one with pleasant children. There was no indication of me not performing well until my university moderating tutor (UMT) came during the 6th week. Then she put in place a cause fior concern procedure saying I have not met some standards. I had a week to meet these standards, otherwise, it would be declared a failed placement. At the end of the 7th week, the cause for concern was reviewed and I was told I was making progress but not enough, therefore the cause for concern has been extended for another week. At the end of the eighth week when it was reviewed, they said though I had made progress, they do not feel that I could meet the teachers' standards within the five weeks remaining, therefore the placement was terminated. I was dejected and sad because my QTS journey ended there and I could not get a licence to teach in the UK. I was now told to complete and alternative assessment for me to pass the remaining academic module so that I can have a PGCE but without a QTS.

THE TROUBLE
When the placement was first terminated in June, I contacted the school's UKVI compliance office to inform them and to let them know that I would need an extension of my study visa (my visa was expiring in 31 December) because I had to resit the placement in the next academic session. The response I got was to wait till November before applying for the extension. When November came, my resit placement was terminated on the 12 but I still had the alternative assignment to do. Then I contacted the UKVI compliance office again for the extension of my visa. They contacted my faculty and lo and behold, the faculty said they did not have any reason to sponsor me since I would not be attending classes again. Meanwhile, I informed my department that I would need my result to be able to apply for the graduate visa, so, they told me to hand in to assignment on time so that it can be marked and the result collated. The result for that module was ready but the school's board was not going to sit on results until January 2022, whereas, my visa was expiring December 2021. The UKVI compliance office then sent me a mail telling me that they could not issue me a new CAS, also that they contacted the home office and they were told that I would not be eligible for the graduate visa because I did not gain the QTS with my PGCE, therefore, I should just go back to my country - even without having my result.

MY DILEMA
At that point I did not know what to do. I didn't want to go back home neither did I want to remain in the UK as an illegal immigrant.

RESOLUTION
An aunt now advised me to apply for the student visa extension using the old CAS (she said that as long as I put forward an application before my visa expires, I will remain legal until a decision is made). This application was to buy us some time to figure out available options since application within UK takes 8 weeks. Therefore, I had 8 weeks to figure things out. Lo and behold, the only option left was applying for a masters course with the PGCE. All the schools I applied to asked me to defer my application to the September intake. Even Wolverhampton was just staring at my application with no respon. Consequently, no way out.
The school did not tell me when my final result would be ready. The only mails from them was to ask about my travel preparations; if I had left the country, or if I had applied for another visa to remain in the country, in short, they wanted to know my immigration status in the country.
5 weeks after my visa application (19 January), I got a mail from the home office, requesting for a new CAS, saying the CAS I used has been used for my previous application. I was given 10 working days to provide the CAS after which a decision would be made on my application.

DAY 1 (Wednesday): I couldn't do anything.
DAY 2 (Thursday): Started getting contacts of immigration lawyers.
DAY 3 (Friday): Contacted all immigration lawyers I knew but had the same response from them - they couldn't do anything to help me.
School's UKVI compliance office sent a mail requesting for my immigration status as my visa was to have expired in December.
During that weekend I, with the encouragement of my parents, decided to mail the school (copying everyone I could). I couldn't get the VC's email, but was able to get hold of the DVC student's email. We just thought it is either the school give a favourable response or not. In the email, I itemised my plight, starting from who I am being an international student, and how I felt during the course of my studies. I even wrote that I felt I was not being supported as an international student doing teacher training in the school. Also in my mail, I said that instead of me being informed of when my result would be ready, I was being chased with depressing emails and I felt as if the school just wanted to send me away after paying a huge sum in school fees; and I was being denied the opportunity enjoyed by international students in other universities (which is the application for the graduate visa). I informed them that I applied for an extension of my student visa and that the home office is requesting a new CAS from the school.

DAY 4 (Monday): The DVC responded to the mail, and appointed the head of the UKVI compliance and the Director of the School of Education to look into the issue as a matter of urgency.
Day 5 (Tuesday): The head of the compliance office responded and said the school could no longer offer sponsorship as I didn't have to attend classes again. He even said that it was not a new thing for international students to return home before their final results was ready. Furthermore, he said that I had been told to return home but I applied for a visa extension on which a decision had not been made.
The director of the School of education also responded to say they will discuss the issues raised with my department.
DAY 6 (Wednesday): I responded to the head of compliance's mail informing him of the deadline the home office had given me. Also, I told him that I had to still be in the country to be eligible for the graduate visa, quoting the UKCISA website. Whilst referring to the UKCISA website, I said the school can still support a student visa extension if my visa expires and my results are not ready (stating that this did not require class attendance as was my case). I now wrote that I would need the student visa extension in order to be eligible for the graduate visa.
DAY 7 (Thursday): The same head of compliance responded saying he had given my case some thought and checked some issues with my faculty and said they believe they would have an option to suggest to me, saying I would be contacted later that day.
Later that day, the compliance office sent me a mail saying that my award of PGCE will be confirmed the following Monday - 31 January; and that the UKVI policy team had suggested (on 13 January) that I could go ahead to apply for the graduate visa with my PGCE - even without QTS. Therefore, they advised that I submit an application for the graduate visa, which will be a variation application to the student visa application. Furthermore, I was told that they would monitor my award with the faculty to ensure it is ready by Monday.
That very day, we arranged a meeting for Monday 31 January to submit my graduate visa application. They also requested my consent to write the home office on my behalf saying that the graduate visa application is to vary the student visa application I had made. So, I signed a consent form for them.
DAY 8 (Friday): Calmness
DAY 9 (Monday 31 January): This particular day was a battle. The school's board sat on results and awards were conferred but my student record was not updated until about 4pm in the evening. The compliance office was to send my award to home office before I submmit my application. When my records were updated, lo and behold, I was not awarded PGCE but post graduate credit! During our meeting that day they had to tell me that they couldn't send that result to the home office as it is not eligible for graduate visa; and that was not the award the faculty informed them I was going to be conferred. So, the head of compliance office said they would have to chase up the Academic registrar the following morning to sign an interim award for me pending the time the school's board will sit again. Consequently, my graduate visa application was halted.

NOTE: For graduate visa, the school sends the student's award to the home office, so the student does not have to upload award when applying for the visa.

DAY 10 (Deadline 1 February): In the morning, I mailed the head of my department and my course lead to let them know of the award I was conferred as opposed to what I was to be conferred and to ask why. Immediately, they responded that it shouldn't be and that they would look into the matter urgently. Throughout that morning, I heard nothing from the school until about 3pm when the head of compliance informed me that the interrim award has been signed by the academic registrar, and my award has been sent to the home office. Therefore, I could go ahead to submit my application.
I submitted my graduate application at about 4pm that afternoon. The compliance office also helped me to draft what would be my response to the request from the home office on my student visa application. I informed the home office that the student visa application was made with the notion that my course end date was July 2022, but my award had now been conferred by the school. Therefore, I had now applied for the graduate visa which was to vary the student visa application (quoting the reference numbers for the two applications).
The school also mailed the home office saying the same (also quoting the reference numbers for the two applications.)

The home office responded the following day, acknowledging my graduate visa application and therefore declared my student visa application as void from that day.

EXACTLY eight weeks after my student visa application, my graduate visa application was approved! I have now been granted the leave to remain in the UK for two years.

PS
I have started applying for jobs with employers that have sponsor license.

Finally it has ended in praise for me. cheesy cheesy cheesy

Timel line
Application Date: 18th August 2020
Biometrics Date (Walk-in VI Centre): 20th August 2020
1st Interview (At TLS Contact): 20th August 2020
Received mail from visa office on 3rrd September that application not straight forward ( undecided Still wondering what that means)
2nd Interview (Phone call): 8th September 2020
Passport collection mail: 11th September 2020
Passport Collected: 14th September 2020

I don't really know how to write much but I will give a download of my journey so far.

Decision to study came in April after a month in lock down. I just told myself that I must achieve something during this lockdown. So the inspiration came to me to look into studying in the UK. I asked here about nursing and someone advised that I go for post graduate degree in adult nursing. Lo and behold, I started contacting schools, but one of the school agents was very frank with me that I am not likely going to get a place in Nursing, due to the fact that my degree was in ccomputer-mathematics and the class of degree was not fantastic, coupled with the fact that I don't really have an experience in the care sector.
So I came to a conclusion that since I am a teacher, why not try to further my career in teaching. So I started looking into teacher training in the UK. I applied to about six schools through UCAS TT, was rejected by 5 schools. the last school decided to consider me for interview.
It was during the interview that grace started speaking for me. I was offered a place in PGCE primary with maths. Na so the journey began...
part of the conditions to be met was GCSE equivalence in English. This was because my degree was over 10 years. I started studying for this exam, and I finally wrote the exam and passed. So my conditional offer turned unconditional, after meeting other conditions like the occupational health check and police report.
Now to CAS application - another struggle entirely...
After passing the pre-CAS interview, the CAS refused to come. Therefore, after disturbing their international office, they linked me up with one of their agents that deal with their Nigerian students. This agent was very helpful. He practically had to start disturbing the CAS team in order to get my CAS, which later came out by August 14.
After submitting application on line on 18th August, to now get appointment for biometrics was difficult, but I later got for 30th September; for a course that will start 2nd September.
Well I went for walk-in as advised by the agent (20th August).
That day was not it at all (shake my head). The attendants just decided not to take walk in again (after travelling all the way down to Lagos only to be told no walk-in again). Come and see as I dey pray ehn.
Long story short sha... they decided to be asking for resumption date and date of appointment. I just shouted "my resumption date is 2nd September." They asked for my CAS, which I showed them, and also my appointment date.
I was now allowed with another guy whose resumption was 7th September.
My interview there was brief, was asked just 4 questions, and that was all.
Fastforward (two weeks later)...
3rd September - Deferred – complex mail. Whatever that means.
As if that was not all, I just received a call from the home office Tuesday morning asking for another interview (see me see wahala) - after asking my school to extend my enrolment deadline; classes had started and annoyingly I couldn't access the course materials because I was not enroled due to the fact that I don't have a visa.
We sha had the interview. The interviewer asked me about 12 questions, ranging fro why I chose the course, to how I got the funds, my current job, my hubby's job, my relatives in the UK, what they do, their status, my future plans, how I would go about it, and so on.
Omo come and see panicking and nervousness. The interview actually threw me off balance.
When the passport collection mail dropped, my heart just skipped at that moment cos I didn't know what to think again.
I didn't even believe I would be granted, even while collecting my passport until I saw the acccompanying letter.
Above all, it has ended in praise for me.

All glory, honour and adoration belong to GOD ALMIGHTY. No one can share His glory

@ Yemsot FYI. it's called PVG in Scotland, but DBS in England. I think both should be the same processing , but try and read more information about it online, or try and ask your school more questions about it.

Thank you so much. I guess I'll let the people over there pick it up for me.

Hi STENON

Pls I would like to ask how to go about the DBS check here in Nigeria. My school said it's different from the normal police check for visa application

STENON:
GCU and Sheffield Hallam University have updated their website and it's also a blended learning for both schools. Please wait for update before paying that huge sum of money o grin I am patiently following the update for a cousin of mine

Based on your explanation, you don't need a health and criminal records declaration at this stage.
As far as Initial Teacher Training is concerned, all the documents you need aside your credentials will be processed in the UK. The one that is similar to the one you mentioned is the Police Report that is issued in Nigeria, but I don't think universities normally request for it. You can only add it to your files for visa processing if necessary.

Once you have submitted your application, the universities have up to 40 days to make their decisions. Some will request for UK Naric during the process, once they are satisfied with your application, you will be called for an interview.

Some of the forms they will send to you are as follows:
- Medical Assessment
-. Safeguarding checks(Disclosure and Barring
Service)
- School Experience Form.
You will pay for them once you have been offered a place.You should be preparing for your interview by now. Please make adequate preparation.
Do you have an adviser assigned to you from the Department for Education?
For further information go the the DfE; Get into teaching:

Thank you so much. I really appreciate

Hello,

Please which route are you applying for; School Direct or University based?

Which stage are you in the application process?
Thanks.

University based
I have applied to different schools bother directly and through UCAS. UCAS application cost £1 and I was able to apply to 3 institutions at a time. But when an institution rejects my application, I can substitute with another institution.

Why UCAS when you can apply to hundreds of uni for free?

It's teacher training and majority of the schools have to be through UCASTT

No issue.
Just do the university degree.
Just an update

I told them to continue with the comparability assessment, and I did not remove the diploma result.
An interim report has been sent but without the assessment of the diploma.
The process took less than 2 weeks

You have a Degree. Which is higher than the diploma. I would submit my degree transcripts/results to NARIC, rather than my diploma result.

Or are you thinking that some diploma modules you took are equivalent to degree modules?

They are equivalent to 100l modules

hosey:

Did your university ask of it? Or you are just doing it? Are you going for undergraduate or Masters programme?

If going for Masters programme, your university undergraduate transcripts is enough.

No need for showing OOU diploma

A university is asking for UK baric assessment.
Won't there be any issue if the diploma is not presented since my university started from 200l?

Analysis and verification of whatever information you're submitting.

Is there anything I am supposed to do? Cos I think it's going to delay the assessment.

No.
The course is a one year diploma course from olabisi onabanjo university and it was used as direct entry for my degree.

Please for anyone who has done comparative assessment with UK baric, please kindly explain what they mean by the first paragraph. What kind of research are they referring to?
Thanks
