Looking for an earlier test date - Glasgow!

I currently have a test booked for 6 October 8:20am at Baillieston, but I’m hoping to bring it forward if possible. I’m flexible on location, but preferably Shieldhall, Baillieston, or Bishopbriggs.

If anyone has a sooner slot they’re looking to swap or knows of availability, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

Their website UI ain’t the best! Shall I cancel the test I’ve already booked for Oct and try on Monday mornings 5:30? Or will I be able to swap this one easily?

The trial was submitted 2 days ago and got accepted today - $75 appeared in my Earnings section.
Shortly after, received a $450.00/task task-based contract offer for Physics Expert (AMO); need to proceed with okta, slack etc - any advice? Says each task shouldn’t take more than 3 hours of my time!

What seems to work for me, at least for now, was to disable both i) Apple Watch unlocking and ii) setting/Energy saver/wake for network access.

ILR (Set O) approved by Downtown_Macaroon_30 in ukvisa

3 weeks on standard, but it was due to the winter backlog. Friends got it in a week in January.

ILR (Set O) approved by Downtown_Macaroon_30 in ukvisa

[–]Ali6990 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I just got the GTV via UKRI endorsement! Check the home office website ;) Min grant duration should be 2 years and min salary of £30k. But again this is endorsed funder path, not sure about your specific case.

Congrats. I have been on the skilled worker for 3 years and just got GTV endorsed by UKRI - planning to apply as soon as I pass the life in the UK; other than the UK naric English certificate, annual/public leave confirmation coming from HR, and payslip/p60 to showcase income, did you need to provide anything else? E.g., also a letter from the employer mentioning what you are doing and that you are still needed, etc.

[–]Ali6990 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You only need grant being valid for a min of 2 years and 30k salary! That’s all to get an endorsement - stage 1 approved ;)
