Employability and the rest of your question are in the eye of the beerholder, but if you can help it do not waste your money on either options 1, 3 or 4. Especially 3 and 4.

Why not just explore the airport? Then find one corner and sleep afterwards or gist if you're not alone. I think layovers less than 8 hours can be endured especially if it's your first time in the airport and you don't have money for direct flights. Not easy if you're alone sha but what can one do?

Qatar airport has paid access lounges.
You can pay for Al maha lounge or Oryx lounge online to enjoy 6 hours stay which comes with food, drinks, bathroom services, peace, quiet etcetera. In naira, this is about 32-40k for the 6 hours. In pounds about 45-55 pounds.
The lounges are after security.
This has to be paid before your travel. If you pay when you get to the lounge the price increases.

Hello Everyone!

I recently booked an Airfrance round trip ticket from Heathrow to Nigeria.

I am from Nigeria and I work here in the UK.

The trip is not a direct trip. Airfrance will stop over in France and then to Nigeria. My coming back will be from Nigeria - France - UK.

Do I necessarily need a Schengen airport transit visa for this trip?

I have asked this question to Airfrance but they weren't helpful.

Has anyone travelled to Nigeria from UK via Airfrance recently and did they ask for a transit Schengen visa?

Solumtoya:

Thank you for you kind help. How do I go about the accommodation please ?
August/September is here. This question might be coming up everyday.

You can use National Express if you seek affordability. You can either book online or at the Airport, I prefer newbies booking at the Airport when they land.

Apply to as many nhs jobs as possible (e.g project/delivery manager in your case).

Include key words in the job description to your supporting statement.

Don’t be too location specific.

Start from the oldest jobs(the end, e.g page 357), you’ll get quick feedback.

Good luck.

Hello Elders, please is there any advantage working for NHS as a band 3 Nursing Assistant?

My Wife works with a care home. She work as many shifts as possible depending on what are strength permits. We are also looking at healthcare sponsorship as she's comfortable with the job and I'm the one studying on tier 4 visa. Now, she got a Job with NHS as a Nursing assistant. She can only work for a 37.5 hrs per week.

When it comes to settlement in this country or career growth, please is it worth it for her to move from the private care home to NHS despite earning less?

Elektra008:


Quick question pls, isn't there a possibility that the older jobs have been filled already? As per your point about starting from the oldest jobs.

You have a tenancy under law so fear not. As long as you're paying rent as agreed, you have an active tenancy. Lexus is right. In this case, you won't even lose your deposit regardless of damage because he has broken the law by not lodging it and therefore can't claim anything off it. Even if he lodges it later, he has still failed to abide by the tenancy act. The good thing about not having a signed agreement is that there are no detrimental clauses he can enforce - at all.


Write him formally - by email and text (preferred for evidence) or by post - registered delivery so you have evidence - detailing what needs to be fixed, ask to have the tenancy agreement signed by both of you and your deposit protection letter for your own records. For example, you will need the tenancy agreement for certain things - prove your address, visa stuff as and when the time comes...

Is the issue to be fixed quite bad? i.e. does it impact on you living there? If it is very bad and he's not responsive, contact environmental health. The council will force him to take action but of course your relationship with him may become fraught.

But if you're leaving after 6 months, just relax and take him to the dispute resolution once the tenancy ends and claim back your deposit plus the extra. And if he has not provided any right to rent documents, claim the whole of your 6 months rent back too. First and foremost - check that he definitely hasn't protected it. You can easily check any of the 3 services - https://www.gov.uk/tenancy-deposit-protection/if-your-landlord-doesnt-protect-your-deposit

Make sure you give the right notice. Which is one month. Read here for more information - https://www.gov.uk/private-renting-tenancy-agreements/your-landlord-wants-to-end-your-tenancy

Personally, I'd stay let her stick with the care job that pays her more. With the rising cost of living, you're going to need all of that income. NHS Band 3 pay is peanuts[/i] regardless of where you live in this country.
She can continue working the care home job, and looking for other openings with higher pay. It's not worth sacrificing much better pay now for sponsorship especially where there's a possibility of getting same a few months down the line.
...
At the end of the day it's choosing between short term (sure)benefits and long term (uncertain) gain. At the rate the country is going, by the time you're done on a tier 4 visa, you might already be looking at mission japa part 2.

I am on a skilled worker visa as a teacher.

Didn’t get in as a teacher directly from 9ja.
Came in on a student visa for PGCE, then switched to tier 2.
This would be the most possible pathway. Although I have been reading about some pilot pathways, yet to confirm.

Those with sponsorship right now what are they doing with it? (Y'all don't come for my head please). Enjoy the pay now, who knows if she's a great worker and the care employer is in dire need, they might sponsor her there as well. At the end of the day it's choosing between short term (sure)benefits and long term (uncertain) gain. At the rate the country is going, by the time you're done on a tier 4 visa, you might already be looking at mission japa part 2.

I don't know how the NHS band 3 pays. If it's marginal to care job, you might want to consider criticality of funds to you as a family at the moment; especially if owo is the ko ko (money na di tin)!
If your concern is settlement in this country or career growth, you'll have to check other factors and weigh up.
- will she be goings mainstream into Nursing
- does it matter which pathway of healthcare she follows as a career: Care, Nursing, others
- will those be critical when you're done studying and start working in your profession
- will you both be pursuing professional career
- is ILR a 'project must have' or you're not so keen so long you get by in the UK or 'jakpa' to other 'safe' haven or move back (9ja) to live big

Alongside status (to live in the UK), does the NHS pension makes any difference to you: AFAIK, NHS pension is one of the best (well, the academic will punts their annulation)

The dynamics for care job might change in the next year or so. That of nursing might follow the same upward trajectory #pay #mobility #dignity
Read discourse regarding possible intervention in healthcare in page 538.



Above are not exhaustive factors. You'll need to consider your personal circumstances, aspirations. All the best.
