Post new topic

Has anyone else had problems using geneva health to get out there?

I seem to have one problem after another. I now have a visa but need to resend new references because it's taken so long thy are now 6 months old and classed as expired!!!

I'm so angry I'm unsure if it's the agency or the hospital.

Advice welcomed

Her problem isn't with the government (she got the visa), it's with the employer hospital) which wants more recent references because apparently the recruiter has taken so long the ones she submitted are now considered out-of-date!).

The visa means she can enter the country.  But she has to satisfy HR at the hospital she's applied to or when she gets here, NO JOB!

thats weired cuz visa cant be issued unless theres an acceptance from the hospital so that means shes being accepted and they have no objection for issuing the visa

It's always complicated when you have three things going on:  the government, the employer and the recruiter!

Thanks guys... Alliecat you're spot on... It's so frustrating. I'm still sat here waiting to hear if they will book my flights or not. I maybe naively thought that once I got my visa I was on my way.  Fingers crossed, it's been an ongoing saga since November!
