The police respect human rights unlike Nigerian police and do not go about harrassing people as Nigerian police does,
If you dey go jeje nutin dey pa, Mama charlie sef is aware there are illegal immigrants in UK i think the economy depends on their taxes that is why you have rules as if you can stay for a period without records of crime you are entitled to the british passport. grin lipsrsealed lipsrsealed lipsrsealed

I heard from a friend that a cop followed him home to
check his visa status,

True not as if you cannot be interrogated when suspected,If you are in such situation "Overstaying"Its only God that can help so you must be very prayerful cos they might know your status and crime record and not arrest you immediately,they sometimes wait for all the evidence enough to convict you with while you think you are safe, Who knows when they want to finally convict you if its just in the 11th year when your british entitlement is 14yrs  chai  Loooooooooooonnnnnnnggggeeeeesssssttttttttttt tttinAll na God Some do and do better than they would have home while some just waste their time there,it all depends on your personality

my advice would be that your friend get a good friend of his here to arrange papers and a job for him then he should work and return before his visa expires. Then come back and continue again.

When he is caught working with fake or cloned paper? What happens then?

@Ashi Robin dont you think you are encouraging him in his plight?
@manmustwac can u please enlighten him more before he starts selling his properties?
@justwise should he just forfeit the visa rather than waste money on the ticket as it might not be worth it at the end of the day

Honestly if he is nursing the feeling of coming here to work with visitor's or cloned paper then he should forfeit the visa and save the ticket money for more important things. If he came here and get caught working illegally he is going to loss everything. . visa, ticket money and time.

Its not worth it at all being an illegal in UK.How do you get a job?When you see cops your blood pressure goes up with all the stop and search these days.Unless you intend getting a fake passport,fake NI number and homeoffice letter.

On a second note you can but avoid anything that would bring the cops around you and remember to change your address.

If the guy hasn't got a solid foolproof plan about how he's going to start working when he gets here then he should postpone his journey or forget about it. London is not as easy as you people in nija think.

I have a friend who came here on a visiting visa he overstayed for three years. Eventually he was forced to go back because his father died. Now his junior bros is here he's already overstayed his visa by about four months and just recently got papers from a friend which he intends to use to work. His bros in nija is now begging me to help him find work here. London no easy. Many ppl don sell thier property just to come here and findout for themselves.

People do it but it's not a great option.

He can't work legally at all. So how is he going to live?

Very few firms will take the risk of employing an illegal worker these days. there are 1000s and 1000s of unemployed people who can work legally - why would a firm risk prosecution and large fines to take on your friend, when they can take their picks of legal workers? No respectable employer does that.

Any firm that does so, will only do it because they want an advantage - they'll take the risk in exchange for being able to pay low low money to people who are desperate. And it won't be a good job. We are not even talking about being able to work in a burger bar. we are talking maybe cleaning toilets, or working on a building site carrying bricks around all day. If you get a job like that as an illegal, and get paid £20 a day, you'd be lucky.

And you have to keep this up for years before you can try applying to regularise your status. Years of struggling, walking round with holes in your shoes because you can't buy new ones, eating once a day because you can't afford enough food, begging friends to sleep on their sofas, always worrying about the police and getting caught.

Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by MontyNG(m): 7:52pm On Feb 22, 2010
Unless the guy wants to come here and do fraud, then he should not overstay. No one will even risk employing any illegal (£10k fine for the company/business per illegal worker they have). How is he going to sustain himself? they'll deport him before he can say fish and once you have that mark on your passport, forget travelling anywhere again!

And if you like, come here and mess up, nah jail then deportation + criminal record

The question is why then do Nigerians that cannot truly afford an holiday in london be applying
my aim for this thread is not just to make my friend see reasons but also make other Nigerians nursing such ideas to beware as LONDON THAT I KNOW OF IS NOT A BED OF ROSES
Here you can maintain your car with three large dogs,computer business, a convenient apartment to your self i willl just advice like i keep saying that you just go and stay for not more than 2months and back to your business if you overstay dont belive in your friends saying anything is possible once u become an illegal then you will see the color of londonIf you think you can trow bak ur "p" to backdate,remember its e-"p" dont let immigration spoil it 4 u oh

@Noniwealth i think your friend can do as he plans but i cannot assure him if he will be better of after-all,  i know he can get away with it.
One can only be said to overstay if the passport is with him everywhere he goes,if he doesn't take a passport around nobody can be sure of his status and the immigrations will not deport him without being sure where he is from.
I know a lot of people here can help him in his plight but cannot discuss such on a public forum.

Stop talking rubbish, immigration/police will find out from his finger print, even on the street, if his name did not appear on Homeoffice database then he entered the country illegally and will be detained. How will they help him with visiting visa? Working with cloned paper? He can't open bank a/c, if he works the money will be paid into somebody's else a/c and only God knows IF he wil see the money again.

Stop giving pple wrong advice, pple like u will NEVER tell the trust. I hope nobody follows your advice.
