My wp expired at the same time II left my job, the employer thought there would be no issue and did not bother to cancel it and told me that

I went to immigration to check and was told that I had to leave immediately, I contacted a visa company who helped me sort the mess out, the mess being the non cancellation of the wp. Apparently the company can be fined for not doing this

It’s only a form to be filled in by them and registered

I almost got deported!

Had no problems so far

The assistance cart sounds like a good idea, it’s a bit of a walk once you have landed. Have the hospital arranged for any assistance for you?

I did mine a couple of weeks ago, but it was for non b, I uploaded everything they asked for, the declaration I took a photo of, the sizes of documents requested meant most of the documents I ended up photographing and uploading as they asked for jpeg

For accommodation I put in a house address

Surprisingly the visa was approved in under 36 hours
