Foreign & Commonwealth Success Stories
Being heard during some challenging moments and receiving your guidance and encouragement was incredibly important in helping me regain confidence and believe that securing a role in the UK was possible. I have been offered two different jobs and I see this as a very positive step since arriving in the UK. Thank you to the RFS Foreign and Commonwealth team.
Ana - Military Spouse, who moved from Brazil to the UK
I finally felt seen. RFS handled the entire ECCTIS process for me, completing the forms, uploading the right documents, and handling everything for me. I was kept updated at every step so I never felt lost. When my Statement of Comparability arrived, employers understood my background. I now work part-time as a HR administrator with the NHS. More than paperwork, RFS gave me the confidence that someone was truly in my corner.
Maria - Military Spouse, who moved from Belize to the UK
Between childcare, deployments and settling in, I couldn't face another complicated application. I am a trained teacher, but without proof of how my qualifications compare in the UK, doors stayed closed. RFS completed the ECCTIS application on my behalf and dealt with the back-and-forth. They explained timelines clearly and supported me with my CV. I secured a Teaching Assistant role while I work towards further training. What made the difference was how personal and practical the support felt. I felt listened to, respected, and finally able to move forward.
