Well its not like you think suxes, they re not after you,infact i believe you even feel more secure there than you are here,As long as you dont go committing crimes, If you dey go jeje and able to procure a means of livelihood,you can be safe in UK for as long as you desire. Plenty oyinbos safe are wearing such shoes |

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. |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by suxes2005(m): 10:52am On Feb 19, 2010 |
Ashi robin: But wat about the one i saw on youtube? Police went to a particular office and started checkin dia papers and eventually deported some pple dia. Does it still happen? Anyways, like u said dey respect human right and I heard from a friend that a cop followed him home to check his visa status, SHALOM |

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 @SUXES T&T is good. it is visa free to UK and u get at least 10 yrs or more yankee visa on a T & T "P" |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by Nobody: 2:31pm On Feb 19, 2010 |

@post 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. |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by justwise(m): 12:17am On Feb 20, 2010 |
manmustwac: When he is caught working with fake or cloned paper? What happens then? |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by noniwealth(f): 12:26am On Feb 20, 2010 |
thank you all for the contributions,though still expecting more @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 |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by Ashirobin(m): 12:46am On Feb 20, 2010 |
@Suxes, No im not in T&T Just been there and had a girlfriend from there. Though its not like there are opportunities there as they depend on tourists,its only their "P" |

noniwealth: 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. |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by manmustwac(m): 7:43pm On Feb 20, 2010 |
noniwealth: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 |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by noniwealth(f): 11:28pm On Feb 22, 2010 |
@labiyemmy @Poster Is that a question worth asking? @ liliana I really do wonder o! Na wa for pple sef, 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 ROSESHere 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 |
Re: How Bright Or Bleak Is Overstaying On A Visiting Visa In The Uk by Ashirobin(m): 4:07pm On Feb 23, 2010 |
@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. @SUXES @Suxes, No im not in T&T Just been there and had a girlfriend from there. Though its not like there are opportunities there as they depend on tourists,its only their "P" Aight. @bolded part: And u guys arranged an Arrangee wedding and u got dia P. LOL SHALOM nah im not desperate to go as far as trinidad just to get the passport because its visa free to uk, i use a 9ja "P" i only went there as the love was shaking and its a very romantic island |

Ashi robin: 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. |
