Thanks Victoria for all your detailed videos. Could you please make a detailed video about changing jobs with a different occupational code, whether or not it's on the shortage occupational list? Thanks!
@@datnaijagirlHi I also done the same steps and i got a mail to upload BRP for upload section. After that whats is the next step? Do i need to go anywhere or make a appointment? How long it will get a decesion letter. Please clarify
Thank you so much Vikky it was very detailed. The fact that I dont have to use my passport because my passport has just 3 months validity although I have applied for a new one.
Quick Query- my partner has a dependant visa from my current employer. When I am applying for a change in employer should I mention dependents or just mention No (No dependants applying with me)? I am guessing I should mention No dependents in the new form as they already have dependent visa (from old employer). Please let me know your thoughts.
@@datnaijagirl can we please also make one video about extending skilled worker dependent visa. Also I have one query is it mandatory that we need to extend dependent visa based on main applicants visa end date? Can we extend it for less time. e.g. so if I have got COS for 5 yrs and I got visa for next 5 yrs. But I want to extend my dependents visa only for 3 yrs. Is that possible? Thank you in advance.
Hi thanks for great video. As you know we have 2 months cooling off period once our contract is over with previous employer. Once I apply for visa to update this 2 month period is already over or it will be done once I have my visa approval? Because even to get a decision will take 6-8 weeks.
Hiya So you need to get your visa submitted within that 2 months. Even if you submit your new visa application in the last day of the 2months, you are good 👍🏾
Hi ....thank you for the information,...on entering the COS number, do i give them my current job's COS or i give them the one from my new job if i am changing the employers?
Helo, thank you for informative video. Please can you upload a video on how to update visas for dependents of skilled worker after change if employer. Last time, on entry to UK, the immigration advised to update the visa status for my dependents. Thanks!
2 things btw, 1. Scanning the BRP chip via immigration app DOES NOT work on iPhones. Only works on Android (I know, weird) 2. Question - "Do you need a Health and Care Visa" - Answer is NO(if you are in Tech roles)
Thank you for the Informative video. I wanted to know what will be the process if I change my Job role which has different occupation code with my current employer?
Thank you for this wonderful information. Please my friend is undergoing this process and I have a question for him. At the place they ask 'Have you been to any other countries in the past 10 years" what should he select. Yes or No Please he just came in last year from Nigeria and he is applying to update his visa. Anticipating your response. Many thanks
This is quite a detailed video....I want to clearify an issue. Let's say I have a 4 year sponsorship from an employer and I want to switch to another employer, do I need to pay a fresh Health Surcharge or the 400+ Pound payment in the video is all I will be needing? Thnaks in anticipation of your response.
Happy Sunday Ma, please also on the house address they requested for the landlords details his address and phone number the issue is that 2 of my relatives was the ones that help me and my family collect the house and i dont know if home office will want to verify from the agents and so on.

U know what? How long does it take to approve for additional cos nowadays 15 days has been delayed still waiting for cos but no reply Can u give a suggestion for this ? Thanks
Hello Ma, thanks for your video God bless for it. Please there one question they asked if someone has received any medical treatment I dont quiet understand that. Though have gone to see my GP and they did test for me for and said they will contact me if anything and up till now nothing. So im wondering if thats a medical treatment or not and they futher asked if it was paid for and all that.
Hi, thank you for this informative video, i am trying to change my company but stuck with something. Do I just go to this link and fill the online form or wait for the new COS? Thanks
Thanks for this very helpful video!!! Please what is the difference between updating a visa and extending a visa? The person I'm asking for is still working the same occupation code but moving to a different health trust. Is this for an update or an extension? Thanks
Good Job, if main applicant visa was more than 3 years before and switched to a new employer with 2-3 years visa do the dependants need to update their visa's because the old visa update they were having is 5years

@@joanmicheal1645 Switching from Graduate visa to Tier 2! I am more than a year in the Uk but my dependant is just 7 months in the UK. How much do I need to show as proof of fund for my dependant since she is less than a year? Will the fund be in the dependant's account? Lastly, since it's UK account, is it necessary the money should be in the account for 28 days before we can use it to apply for visa? Thanks
Do we need to update BRP as well after visa update ? Once we update visa , visa expired date will be same or will be changed based on newly assigned CoS?
HI, I have followed same link but they didn't ask me UK immigration ID check, they gave me option of biometric at center, I have done that, but now I am worried as looking at your video it looks like you don't need to go to biometric center if your changing employer.Please reply.
I was able to do the biometrics on phone app. Since you were not given the option and you already chose physical capturing, you’re good 👍🏾 I don’t think there’s anything to worry about
Hi! I want to work in the UK for 5 years on Tier 2 visa to get an indefinite leave to remain. Do I have to work with the same employer to get this? Or for example, if I worked with my first sponsored job for 2 years and then changed my job, started working in a new place; does it count as the 3rd year to get my residence permit or does the process of working for 5 years starts again from the beginning? I don't want to waste my years by changing employers in that case. Hope my question makes sense:)
Hi, i have been in the UK for 8 months without working for my employer cos she had no job, she could have removed the sponsorship but she didnt. she instructed me to notify her once i get another COS, so she can remove her own. My question now is.... Do i need to tell her first that im about to switch or just apply first and when i get my decision then tell her afterwards.
Hi, Very helpful and useful video! I have updated the visa a week ago, could you please tell how long it will take to get decission wothout priority service.
@datnaijagirl why do other BRP decisions take 1 or 2 weeks while others take long to get a decision? Does it have anything to do with my application or its workload at Home Office?
Goodmorning, Welldone and thanks for such a great video. Please I am stuck on my application as I am finding it difficult to scan my the Chip of my BRP, I have tried placing my phone on both sides on the card but it too no avail. I will really appreciate if you can explain how this is done. Thank you.
Hi. I include my husband name in the new visa. However, when I was about to pay it only says pay £745 and I think it is only for one person. It should be £1490 right. Or the application for the dependent is separate?
I did same ...does it affect the visa ?? Because I have applied in priority and my dependent is overseas and I am waiting for my decision but not received yet ... please reply
Nice video! My question is - What type of CoS is given by new employer? Can the new employer initiate your new CoS while the current one is active? Do they not conflict?
hi. thanks for the video. it was very helpful. do i need to resign first from my current employer before applying to update visa or could i wait first for the visa update decision to be finished before resigning from my current employer?
@@datnaijagirl thank you for this video, it was very informative. Please, for someone who already resigned before updating the visa, can the person do agency jobs while waiting for a decision? Thank you once again!
Thank you for the update. How long do i get decision when im changing employer on the health care visa.After doing the biometric. I'm already in the Uk.
Thank you for your response as my visa was approved just now😊. Thank you so much. I want to ask if on my visa application I stated I live together with my dependent and I'm applying for her will they ask of proof of address? As I'm nervous because we are no longer living together.And how do I apply for her if I have got my visa decision.
Thank You for the video..! Really Helpful. How about the Proof of English Level when updating Health Care Worker Visa? Gov website it tells, "You’ll only need to provide other evidence again if you’ve been in the UK for less than one year." Do you have any experience regarding that?
If you can provide " Medium of Instruction " certificate from your university that should be fine Also you have to validate your Bachelors degree certificate from UKNARIC
Hi, i am transferring to a different NHS trust and already got my COS. It says Skilled Worker (same to my previous COS from my current trust). I work as a nurse, do i have to tick YES on the Health and Care Visa option? I’m anxious that I have to pay a health surcharge if I clicked No. Thank you.
Hey Nicely explained, thank you. If i am changing job to a new employer i need to pay visa and IHS fees again. What will happen to the visa and IHS fee already paid in the previous application if visa has 1 or 2 years of validity? Do we get refund or nothing for the remaining period? If eligible for refund, will it be processed automatically?
@@datnaijagirl Thanks very much for the loverly video. What about the health surcharge fees paid for the previous Skilled Worker Visa, logically they should transfer it to the new application and require any additional payments in case the previous fees are not enough for the period of the new skilled worker visa. Do you have any idea in this regard.
I’ve changed visas before (dependent to Skilled Visa) and was refunded the years remaining on IHS. The refund would be automatic and will go back to the debit or credit card that paid the fee initially.
I applied for update employment switch to another employer but got a mail where home office said complex situation in my application and they can't provide my decision within 8 weeks
Nice video very detailed, please l have a question, lf your dependent change their sponsorship and update their application, does the dependent need to update their application as well?
Hi , I am looking for some solution of one problem. Can you please help me if you can ? I came to UK with Tier 2 General Visa sponsored by NHS BARTS , recently we have been TUPED (Inter transfer within same trust) to NHS Business Service Authority. Two days back i received mail from Home office to exit the country by July 8 2023 , because my visa is not associated with any sponsor and previous sponsor BARTS has informed about the cancellation to home office . I have tried to reach my new HR team(NHS BSA) with this problem and they shared a document with new COS number and a letter from home office sent to NHS BSA having confirmation that i have been TUPED from BARTS to AGEM. My question is how can i inform home office about all these and update my sponsor details in home office portal ? Can you please help me on this ?
Hi, A friend has been in the Uk for about 3 years on a skilled worker visa, she applied to a schegen country and Ireland for holiday during this 3 years but she didn't get any of the visas. She is about to switch employer now to Health and Care Visa and she is afraid she might not get it because of the other countries that have denied her Tourism visas. What would you advise?
The App verification works against the dependent visa application as well or biometric appointment is needed for dependant application? Asking because i have completed the application form for dependants and no where there was an option for an app verification
Hi thanks for the vital information in the video ,I’m having issue using the UK ID ,I’m I suppose to input the original expiry visa date on my BRP letter or the 31 December 2024 on the BRP card cos my current visa actually expires 2025 while using the UKID cos I tried with the 2025 it saying it’s not matching
I believe you should use the expiry date on the card and not the one on the website because it is asking for when the BRP card expires. I used the date on the card and not the one on the website and it worked for me.
Hello, could you please list the documents you uploaded on the app with your picture and how long it toke you to get the response from the home office. Thank you
Hey, one year later I received a new COS, will I have to provide every certificate (IELTS, degree, bank balance, other relationship certificates, etc...) if I have been in the UK and update my skilled worker VISA with my new employer?
If you’ve been in the UK on the same visa for a year before, you won’t need proof of payment and all that when applying to update your visa. Your new employer may ask for your certificates tho
Nice video. I made my application and all done for switch. However, i wanted to know how i can correct a mistake within my application. I will be happy if u advise
if theres an opportunity to mention it, you can do so. But what i have learnt from those who have done it recently is that you need to apply for dependants separately
Hello , your video was very helpful. I completed my application with the help of your application. But I uploaded my documents like English proficiency, police clearance certificate, Tb certificate which i was provided in previous application even they not asked me for documents but on my behalf i submitted Can you let me know is it negative effect on my visa ???
Thank you so much for this information, please if I want my BRP to be delivered to nearest post office because it is safer there for me. At what point will I fill the address for the post office I want? Thank you
I haven’t thought of this o. I’m not sure if that option is available. If not, you should be able to change it via the couriers website. This happens when they miss you at delivery. They’ll ask you to go online and reschedule
@@datnaijagirl Thank you for your response. Please, I am a dependent, and my husband has changed his employer and he has updated his visa and he has received his new BRP. So as a dependent, how will I also apply or update my visa status by joining my husband on his new visa ? Thank you
Hi, do I have to do a separate application for my dependent (husband) or doing this visa update and choosing I have a dependent will cover him as well ?
thank you for the video. i have a question - my dependents have enough validity on their visa, still they need to apply for new one, when i change my cos for employer change ?
Please do you login in your previous uk.gov page and you create a new page when you change your employer. And also if u were married the first time and and now divorced before changing your employer?
Once you input your email, you’ll be able to continue in your previous account. If not, you can create a new one. You can update your marital status in the process before you submit application
Thank you very much my sister at least now I know that I am allowed to change my employer. But sis I am only one months in the UK my employer only need someone that can drive well. Back home I can drive but here I keep failing my work assessment for driving and they only need me to pass before I can actually start to work. I can't pay my rent and bills..... so I don't know how to get new company that can give me a new COS . do you have any tips on how I can get Care assistant new sponsor? I will really appreciate 🙏
Sorry to add up here. but i have a similar issue. I have been in the uk close to three months and my employer seems not in need of my services yet. Do i switch or update once a get a new COS and whether it'll be a problem when i want to extend my visa. Please an explanation would help, thanks
Please @datnaijagirl, when changing a sponsor under healthcare visa, having dependants, do I need to apply with their details while filling? Or is this to be done seperately?
Hi, I am very confused about the screen shows . I am currently on psw visa and get a cos but when I am applying for switching the visa . It shows me same screen displayed on your video. My confusion is that I am not changing my employer , I am changing my visa . Which link I have to go with the same link or something else.
Go through this link to confirm any of the list applies to you. www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/update-your-visa-if-you-change-job-or-employer If it does, then start your application. You’re on the right path.
Hi, thanks for the explanation. I am changing jobs. I have just received a COS, if I am as to do the identification without having to go to the center, how will I get a vignette on my passport because my previous Visa expires in July.
You are already in the UK, I don’t think you need vignette on your passport again. What you need is a new brp which can be sent to you without you visiting the visa application centre
Hi Very informative video i have one question for you . Is this same process for dependent on skilled worker to convert skilled visa . Kindly let me know this thing i am very confuse. Thanks
Thanks to your guidance, I have successfully completed the application; however, I have encountered a small issue. Upon reaching the end of the application, I noticed that there was no clear indication or instructions on how to proceed with booking an appointment for the biometric process.
@@datnaijagirl pls dear can you help me i need assistance I am switching to another employer what should I do pls assist me pls. I have my CoS already
If i get another cos from new employer, and do application for update my visa, can i continue my job to my current employer (when i m waiting any decision or getting new visa.)
Hi, thanks so much for the video. I have a question. I renewed my BRP just 2 months before. But I am changing job now. I got the new CoS as well. Do I have to pay again for updating visa? Or is there a way to update it without payment as I just paid a lot 2 months before??
Update your iOS Better still go back to the application, and pick that you don’t have a phone that can do that. So you’ll have to go for a physical appointment for your biometrics
Dependents may not necessarily update at the same time as when the main applicant switches the employer but they must update or switch before their visas from the main applicant previous employer expires.
If I switch employer and get the new CoS for the same amount of time, do I need to pay IHS again? Or they will consider my previously paid IHS in the new application?
Hi victoria.. it was nice video. Howver i got a question, we are receiving the UAN number while submitting the application. Howver when i am filling my dependent kid application, it asks me for the GWF, VFS, home reference number etc.. how to get any of those value to file the kids visa?
I got the email from the home office of payment being successful in terms of the visa also stating that I do not need to provide evidence based on my answer. It said that press 'confirm and submit' button if I have not already done so however when I got back to the form it shows that form has already been submitted however there was just that ;payment successful' email furthermore there is also the green provide evidence button is it a generic button and do I need to provide any evidence if the email doesn't mention it. Would really appreciate if I can get some clarity.
I have a ques., when we are submitting our application by using an app and cnfrmed our id check , how our visa will come by online or do we need to submit our passport to visa centres?
Please, how many days did it take your new visa to arrive and what happens when youre suppose to resume a job on a certain day but your visa is not yet out?
Hi thanks you for your video.But I have a question.What documents are needed to be provided as evidence.Assuming that you did not use the phone application
If you didn’t use phone application, they will send you the documents to take to the biometric centre. They usually include passport, brp, COS, proof of fund (if less than a year)
Very useful for me right now!!!!
Glad to hear it!

Or for example, if I worked with my first sponsored job for 2 years and then changed my job, started working in a new place; does it count as the 3rd year to get my residence permit or does the process of working for 5 years starts again from the beginning? I don't want to waste my years by changing employers in that case. Hope my question makes sense:)
It makes sense 😊
It is continuous even when you change employers. So changing employers does not affect it.
Hi, i have been in the UK for 8 months without working for my employer cos she had no job, she could have removed the sponsorship but she didnt. she instructed me to notify her once i get another COS, so she can remove her own. My question now is.... Do i need to tell her first that im about to switch or just apply first and when i get my decision then tell her afterwards.
Either way works. But to be on the safe side, i think you should process the new COS first.
Hi,
Very helpful and useful video!
I have updated the visa a week ago, could you please tell how long it will take to get decission wothout priority service.
It takes faster now. I know if one that came back in less than a week, but generally you should receive the decision within 6-8 weeks
@datnaijagirl why do other BRP decisions take 1 or 2 weeks while others take long to get a decision? Does it have anything to do with my application or its workload at Home Office?
Goodmorning,
Welldone and thanks for such a great video. Please I am stuck on my application as I am finding it difficult to scan my the Chip of my BRP, I have tried placing my phone on both sides on the card but it too no avail. I will really appreciate if you can explain how this is done. Thank you.
I guess you’ll have to see it to be sure, but I don’t have any to demonstrate now. Please chat me up on instagram
Hi. I include my husband name in the new visa. However, when I was about to pay it only says pay £745 and I think it is only for one person. It should be £1490 right. Or the application for the dependent is separate?
It is separate for dependants
@@datnaijagirl thanks
I did same ...does it affect the visa ?? Because I have applied in priority and my dependent is overseas and I am waiting for my decision but not received yet ... please reply
Nice video! My question is - What type of CoS is given by new employer? Can the new employer initiate your new CoS while the current one is active? Do they not conflict?
I believe they can. I’ve heard of many cases like that
Yes
hi. thanks for the video. it was very helpful. do i need to resign first from my current employer before applying to update visa or could i wait first for the visa update decision to be finished before resigning from my current employer?
It’s better you update first before resigning
@@datnaijagirl thank you for this video, it was very informative. Please, for someone who already resigned before updating the visa, can the person do agency jobs while waiting for a decision? Thank you once again!
@@short_movies742 I believe you can
Thank you
Welcome!
Thank you for the update. How long do i get decision when im changing employer on the health care visa.After doing the biometric. I'm already in the Uk.
It takes around 3-6 weeks. Can be shorter tho, got mine within 5 working always then
Thank you for your response as my visa was approved just now😊. Thank you so much. I want to ask if on my visa application I stated I live together with my dependent and I'm applying for her will they ask of proof of address? As I'm nervous because we are no longer living together.And how do I apply for her if I have got my visa decision.
@@nanamansohoward7824Please how many days did it take for your visa to come out.
Thank You for the video..! Really Helpful. How about the Proof of English Level when updating Health Care Worker Visa? Gov website it tells, "You’ll only need to provide other evidence again if you’ve been in the UK for less than one year." Do you have any experience regarding that?
No I didn’t. It if they ask you for it, then you’ll need to provide it
@@datnaijagirl please how long have you been in the Uk for before getting another COS to change your employer/job.
If you can provide " Medium of Instruction " certificate from your university that should be fine
Also you have to validate your Bachelors degree certificate from UKNARIC

Hello, i am updating my VISA (switching employers) on the 'Employment History' should I put YES/NO? The updated site looks different.
If you have employment history, I believe it should be ‘Yes’
You can chat me up on IG also
Hi, i am transferring to a different NHS trust and already got my COS. It says Skilled Worker (same to my previous COS from my current trust). I work as a nurse, do i have to tick YES on the Health and Care Visa option? I’m anxious that I have to pay a health surcharge if I clicked No. Thank you.

Hey Nicely explained, thank you. If i am changing job to a new employer i need to pay visa and IHS fees again. What will happen to the visa and IHS fee already paid in the previous application if visa has 1 or 2 years of validity? Do we get refund or nothing for the remaining period? If eligible for refund, will it be processed automatically?
I don't think you'll get a refund
@@datnaijagirl Thanks very much for the loverly video.
What about the health surcharge fees paid for the previous Skilled Worker Visa, logically they should transfer it to the new application and require any additional payments in case the previous fees are not enough for the period of the new skilled worker visa. Do you have any idea in this regard.
Unfortunately, I do not have an idea. Healthcare workers do not pay that fee anymore, so I don’t know the process for that.
I’ve changed visas before (dependent to Skilled Visa) and was refunded the years remaining on IHS. The refund would be automatic and will go back to the debit or credit card that paid the fee initially.
@@charnepowell4249 how long will this refund take?
I applied for update employment switch to another employer but got a mail where home office said complex situation in my application and they can't provide my decision within 8 weeks
Just wait till they send your decision. Be hopeful ✌️
Nice video very detailed, please l have a question, lf your dependent change their sponsorship and update their application, does the dependent need to update their application as well?
No, there’s no need
Hello!... nice video I must say. please is it the same process when are switching from Student visa to skilled worker ?
I don’t think so. There’s a different link for that. Just search for ‘apply for skilled worker visa uk’ and pick the one by gov.uk
@@datnaijagirl thanks 💕
Hi , I am looking for some solution of one problem. Can you please help me if you can ? I came to UK with Tier 2 General Visa sponsored by NHS BARTS , recently we have been TUPED (Inter transfer within same trust) to NHS Business Service Authority. Two days back i received mail from Home office to exit the country by July 8 2023 , because my visa is not associated with any sponsor and previous sponsor BARTS has informed about the cancellation to home office . I have tried to reach my new HR team(NHS BSA) with this problem and they shared a document with new COS number and a letter from home office sent to NHS BSA having confirmation that i have been TUPED from BARTS to AGEM. My question is how can i inform home office about all these and update my sponsor details in home office portal ? Can you please help me on this ?

Hi,
A friend has been in the Uk for about 3 years on a skilled worker visa, she applied to a schegen country and Ireland for holiday during this 3 years but she didn't get any of the visas.
She is about to switch employer now to Health and Care Visa and she is afraid she might not get it because of the other countries that have denied her Tourism visas.
What would you advise?
No I don’t think they’ll deny her because of that. If she has her sponsor already, there’s nothing to fear
The App verification works against the dependent visa application as well or biometric appointment is needed for dependant application? Asking because i have completed the application form for dependants and no where there was an option for an app verification
Hi thanks for the vital information in the video ,I’m having issue using the UK ID ,I’m I suppose to input the original expiry visa date on my BRP letter or the 31 December 2024 on the BRP card cos my current visa actually expires 2025 while using the UKID cos I tried with the 2025 it saying it’s not matching
You should input your original visa expiry date
I believe you should use the expiry date on the card and not the one on the website because it is asking for when the BRP card expires. I used the date on the card and not the one on the website and it worked for me.
@@mistiquexx90Hi..have you created an account by using an expiry date wat is mentioned in the card? Did you got the decision?
Hi,
Thank you for the information.
I have one question, is it possible to update the Visa from outside the UK?
It’s possible but not advisable.
They will deliver your brp to your uk address and you need it for entry
Hello, could you please list the documents you uploaded on the app with your picture and how long it toke you to get the response from the home office. Thank you
Just make sure you fill in the application correctly. The list of documents they require from you will be given to you
Hey, one year later I received a new COS, will I have to provide every certificate (IELTS, degree, bank balance, other relationship certificates, etc...) if I have been in the UK and update my skilled worker VISA with my new employer?
If you’ve been in the UK on the same visa for a year before, you won’t need proof of payment and all that when applying to update your visa. Your new employer may ask for your certificates tho
Nice video. I made my application and all done for switch. However, i wanted to know how i can correct a mistake within my application. I will be happy if u advise
If you haven’t submitted, you can make corrections. But if you have submitted already, you can cancel the application and rwapply
Do i have to mention my dependent while doing change of job form..? Or do i need to update there after my one is updated?
if theres an opportunity to mention it, you can do so. But what i have learnt from those who have done it recently is that you need to apply for dependants separately
@@datnaijagirl The cos Number you enter there is it the new job one or the old one ?
Hello dear, thank you for the explanation. Please i get a new sponsor is it a switch or update visa
If it’s the same job code, it’s an update
I am being asked to pay the health surcharge and my COS was issued by my NHS TRUST. Is this now the norm?
No it’s not. You don’t need to pay it. You probably answered one of their questions wrongly. Review it again
Hello , your video was very helpful. I completed my application with the help of your application. But I uploaded my documents like English proficiency, police clearance certificate, Tb certificate which i was provided in previous application even they not asked me for documents but on my behalf i submitted
Can you let me know is it negative effect on my visa ???
No I don’t think it will have negative effect. Main thing is that you should provide the ones they specifically asked for
Thank you so much for this information, please if I want my BRP to be delivered to nearest post office because it is safer there for me. At what point will I fill the address for the post office I want? Thank you
I haven’t thought of this o. I’m not sure if that option is available. If not, you should be able to change it via the couriers website. This happens when they miss you at delivery. They’ll ask you to go online and reschedule
Thank you dear. Can you or anyone here assist or make a video on how to update a skilled worker dependent visa ?
You don’t need to update dependant visa
@@datnaijagirl Thank you for your response. Please, I am a dependent, and my husband has changed his employer and he has updated his visa and he has received his new BRP. So as a dependent, how will I also apply or update my visa status by joining my husband on his new visa ? Thank you
Hi, do I have to do a separate application for my dependent (husband) or doing this visa update and choosing I have a dependent will cover him as well ?
No need to change dependant viss
thank you for the video. i have a question - my dependents have enough validity on their visa, still they need to apply for new one, when i change my cos for employer change ?
No they don’t need to apply for new one
Thanks for your hard work. As a dependent, how can I also update my visa status since my partner has changed an employer ?
You don’t need to update as a dependant
Please do you login in your previous uk.gov page and you create a new page when you change your employer.
And also if u were married the first time and and now divorced before changing your employer?
Once you input your email, you’ll be able to continue in your previous account. If not, you can create a new one. You can update your marital status in the process before you submit application
Thank you very much my sister at least now I know that I am allowed to change my employer.
But sis I am only one months in the UK my employer only need someone that can drive well. Back home I can drive but here I keep failing my work assessment for driving and they only need me to pass before I can actually start to work. I can't pay my rent and bills..... so I don't know how to get new company that can give me a new COS . do you have any tips on how I can get Care assistant new sponsor? I will really appreciate 🙏
You need to keep searching online and apply to those sponsoring
Sorry to add up here. but i have a similar issue. I have been in the uk close to three months and my employer seems not in need of my services yet. Do i switch or update once a get a new COS and whether it'll be a problem when i want to extend my visa. Please an explanation would help, thanks
@@emmanuelofosuhene6637 once you have a new cos, you can apply to update your visa. There’s no problem with that
Please @datnaijagirl, when changing a sponsor under healthcare visa, having dependants, do I need to apply with their details while filling? Or is this to be done seperately?
If there’s an option to fill it in while filling yours, then you should. If not, you’ll have to apply separately
Hlo Victoria it was very helpful, just a question I have my visa now. I haven't apply for my husband and children. Which link I can use it for them?
What kind of visa are you on, and is this the first issue?
Hey, will i have to provide bank statements if I have been in UK for less than a year and my new employer is not responsible for my maintenance?
Yes
Hi,
I am very confused about the screen shows . I am currently on psw visa and get a cos but when I am applying for switching the visa . It shows me same screen displayed on your video. My confusion is that I am not changing my employer , I am changing my visa . Which link I have to go with the same link or something else.
Go through this link to confirm any of the list applies to you. www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa/update-your-visa-if-you-change-job-or-employer If it does, then start your application. You’re on the right path.
Hi, thanks for the explanation. I am changing jobs. I have just received a COS, if I am as to do the identification without having to go to the center, how will I get a vignette on my passport because my previous Visa expires in July.
You are already in the UK, I don’t think you need vignette on your passport again. What you need is a new brp which can be sent to you without you visiting the visa application centre
Hi Judith, how is it going? Have u gotten your Visa?
Hi
Very informative video i have one question for you . Is this same process for dependent on skilled worker to convert skilled visa .
Kindly let me know this thing i am very confuse.
Thanks
It will be slightly different if you’re changing from dependant to skilled visa
Thanks to your guidance, I have successfully completed the application; however, I have encountered a small issue. Upon reaching the end of the application, I noticed that there was no clear indication or instructions on how to proceed with booking an appointment for the biometric process.
You’re welcome. Biometrics is usually done via their app now. You should check your email for instructions
@@datnaijagirl pls dear can you help me i need assistance I am switching to another employer what should I do pls assist me pls. I have my CoS already

If i get another cos from new employer, and do application for update my visa, can i continue my job to my current employer (when i m waiting any decision or getting new visa.)
yes you should typically continue your current job except if you have already resigned
Thank you❤❤❤❤
Hi, thanks so much for the video. I have a question. I renewed my BRP just 2 months before. But I am changing job now. I got the new CoS as well. Do I have to pay again for updating visa? Or is there a way to update it without payment as I just paid a lot 2 months before??
Yes, you need to pay again because it will be a new application
@@datnaijagirl Thanks so much for confirming. Appreciate it!
Do you have to pay IHS fee ? We already paid it right
Not sure if the IHS fee is transferable, but I think it should
Used this to switch, how long does the process take if you didn't pay for priority?
6-8 weeks. Sometimes, lesser
Thanks for the video. Please I'm finding it difficult to download the app for capturing even on iPhone. Can you suggest a solution pls?
Update your iOS
Better still go back to the application, and pick that you don’t have a phone that can do that. So you’ll have to go for a physical appointment for your biometrics
Thank for this video. Do dependants with dependant visa have to update theirs once the one they are depending on change employers/update visas?
No they don’t need to change theirs
@@datnaijagirl thanks
I have same questions as well. Thanks for this.
@@datnaijagirl is there a way i can confirm this from the gov.uk site?i am currently applying for myself and dependants.
Dependents may not necessarily update at the same time as when the main applicant switches the employer but they must update or switch before their visas from the main applicant previous employer expires.
If I switch employer and get the new CoS for the same amount of time, do I need to pay IHS again? Or they will consider my previously paid IHS in the new application?
You will pay it again I believe, however your remaining ihs should be refunded
Hi victoria.. it was nice video. Howver i got a question, we are receiving the UAN number while submitting the application. Howver when i am filling my dependent kid application, it asks me for the GWF, VFS, home reference number etc.. how to get any of those value to file the kids visa?
I think it’s asking those value for yours
@@datnaijagirl but I don't have that number as I switched my visa within the UK.. it generates only UAN
Good day. I would like to ask, what about to update my dependants after i got new sponsorship. Thank u
I think there’s a part where you’re asked to add dependants
I got the email from the home office of payment being successful in terms of the visa also stating that I do not need to provide evidence based on my answer. It said that press 'confirm and submit' button if I have not already done so however when I got back to the form it shows that form has already been submitted however there was just that ;payment successful' email furthermore there is also the green provide evidence button is it a generic button and do I need to provide any evidence if the email doesn't mention it.
Would really appreciate if I can get some clarity.

I have a ques., when we are submitting our application by using an app and cnfrmed our id check , how our visa will come by online or do we need to submit our passport to visa centres?
You’ll be doing the verification online so no need to visit visa centre
Do the employer need to change details on the already issued COS or issue a new one if the job title and code is changing please?
If jobs with titles title and code is changing, you need a new COS
Please, how many days did it take your new visa to arrive and what happens when youre suppose to resume a job on a certain day but your visa is not yet out?
About 6 weeks to get decision. You should tell your new employer and they’ll probably ask you to let them know once visa decision is out.
Hi thanks you for your video.But I have a question.What documents are needed to be provided as evidence.Assuming that you did not use the phone application
If you didn’t use phone application, they will send you the documents to take to the biometric centre. They usually include passport, brp, COS, proof of fund (if less than a year)
