Hi Madi The CoS application follows this timeline: - the employer applies for it until the 5th day of the month - the panel meeting takes place usually in the 11th day - the Home office sends it to the employer usually within 5 business days after the panel meeting. However, it can take longer. My employer received the CoS on the 20th day of the month. He said the Home office asked for the decision letter. The employer has to check the system to verify if your CoS has been granted. If not, they can check what happened and apply again. Good luck!

Hi bobHD That was really fast! Please, did you pay for the priority visa service?

Hi Shenna Yes my employer received it yesterday and assigned it to me this morning. He said they asked for more information (the NMC decision letter). Have you received yours?

Hi everyone Please, did someone receive the CoS (certificate of sponsorship) this month?

Dear all, just received my Decision Letter. Here is my timeline: 2016 26/12 - Documents sent by post 2017 02/01 - Documents arrived in London 16/01 - In the assessment queue - documents visible in the portal 14/03 - Further information required (the referee who signed my letter 2 was not a nurse) 19/03 - Application resubmitted 28/03 - New document visible in the portal Here I had some conflictant information when calling the NMC - some attendants said I would be back to the end of the queue, others said it would be faster - 3 or 4 weeks 27/04/2016 - Decision letter 102 calendar days, 72 working days Now, to the final challange: the OSCE! My application took longer than the ones that I see related here. I have been working for 20 years as a nurse in my country, so perhaps the process was more complicated to be assessed. On the bright side, the NMC attendants were all kind and patient when giving me information. I wish everyone has every success with their applications.

Many thanks Silverdragon102!

Hello everyone After living in London for one year, I've decided to move to the UK to work as a nurse. I'm currently in Brazil and through the registration process. Can someone please give me some information on the following questions? - I got my nursing degree in 1996 and have been working as a "nurse with midwifery skills" from 1998 to 2010. In the last 5 years I have been working as a lecturer, providing hands-on clinical training for midwifery students, carrying out research, classes, etc. I wonder if this would be considered as nursing experience by the NMC? If not, can I have some additional training (return to practice) when arriving in the UK? - NHS websites state that the workload for nurses is 37.5 hours per week (3 shifts). I wonder how many night shifts are we expected to do weekly? Thanks in advance for your help!
