NotesBeware of emailed job offers for childcare and other similar positions in the UK. These are all frauds.

• Since November 2008, no visas are granted for household workers from outside Europe. Work visas are only granted for highly-skilled positions, most of which require university degrees.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK requires you to pay them any money. All fees would be paid by the employer.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a free email address from Yahoo, Gmail, or similar services.

• No legitimate employment agency in the UK uses a telephone number that begins with +4470 (070). These are non-geographic numbers available to anyone in the world.

• No legitimate business requests payment via Western Union.

i got a job offer in london this mail is fake or not
Attn: Mr. P. Raja Bharathy,





I'm a British diplomat who specializes in Passport Services, Visa Services like Education Passport & Visa, Job Passport & Visa, Business Passport & Visa, Travel Passport & Visa, and Medical Passport & Visa. We act under the umbrella of the British High Commission in accordance with the Data protection act that authorized a British diplomat to secure visa for applicants and prevents the UK Border Agency and VFS from providing information about an application to anybody other than the individual visa applicant. I received a contract agreement letter, sponsorship letter and some other related documents from MR. BARRY LOGAN in UNITED KINGDOM. He has authorized me to contact you regards visa application process in British High Commission.





INFORMATION REQUIRE FOR TIER 2 WORK VISA

The Tier 2 (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa) is for qualified professionals to come to the UK with a skilled job offer to fill a gap in the workforce that cannot be filled by a settled worker. It is an employer based procedure wherein the sponsoring company/ Individual will apply on behalf of the applicant. However, the candidates are required to pass a points test. To qualify candidates are required to satisfy the minimum pass mark of 70 points.

Points Criteria - Candidates





A total of 70 points must be scored across various criteria prior to assigning a sponsorship certificate.



You must score a minimum of:



50 points for Attributes, which includes having a sponsor and a valid Certificate of Sponsorship; and

10 points for English language skills (except for certain Intra-Company Transfers); and

10 points for Maintenance funds





Employer Requirements for Tier 2 (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa)





The candidates, in addition to meeting the required points should have a job offer/contract agreement letter and a certificate of sponsorship. The responsibility is on the employer to ensure that the candidates are eligible and suitable to fill the positions being offered in the organization.

Basic Features of the Tier 2 visa (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa)





Tier 2 visas (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa) are not a permanent residency visa in itself, but it is a route to permanent residency in the United Kingdom. After 5 years in the UK, applicants can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain or settlement in the UK (ILR). Further to this, an applicant may opt to undergo British Naturalization as a UK citizen.

Tier 2 (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa) applicants can change their job while being in the United Kingdom, although the process of attaining a Certificate of Sponsorship must be repeated and applicants should be reassessed against the points test.





Duration of the Tier 2 visa (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa)





For candidates applying from outside the UK, the Tier 2 (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa) visa will allow them to live and work in the UK for a maximum of three years plus one month, or the time given in their certificate of sponsorship plus one month, whichever is shorter (beginning no more than 14 days before the start date given on the certificate of sponsorship).

At the end of 3 years, the Tier 2 Visa (UK Work Permit / UK Work Visa) can be extended for another 2 years. Work permit holders can then apply for settlement after 5 years in the UK.





Spouse, common law, civil or unmarried partner of the applicant and any dependent children can be included in the application at the same time. Any such dependents would be granted the same period of leave as the main tier 2 visa applicant. Dependents will be able to work in the UK.





Here are the documents require for the Tier 2 work visa: INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT, SCHOOL CERTIFICATES, HOME ADDRESS PROOF ,PASSPORT SIZE PHOTOGRAPH AND IDENTITY CARD. You are advice to send the scanned copy of the following document to me via email and submit the consultancy fees of 7,992 INR to the account information which will be provided to you once I receive all of your documents. Upon confirmation of your document and the consultancy fees, your application will be submitted officially to schedule appointment with you for interview in the embassy.





NOTE: Appointment for meetings and interview will only be given to applicants who have submitted their documents and consultancy fees.

DR. TOM WILSON is a scammer!
All house supervisor, house keeping, house cleaning, nanny jobs from Canada and UK are scams. No stranger is going to hire a stranger in India who he can't see, and pay them to fly them to their home and trust them with their family. It doesn't make sense. They could just hire someone in their own country who they know or could interview! No real company hires you without an in person, face to face interview.
