Who used the new ukvi ID app to change their visa status, from student to the skilled worker visa, did you receive your BRP upon successful application, if you did, how long did it take? If not, how can one travel put of UK and back without a physical proof?


Justwise, and anyone with experience.

Hello all,
So I just got my statement of comparability from UK NARIC and it states that my Bsc from Unilag does not have honours comparable with the UK honours. ...

Mind stating the UNILAG degree in full as it appears on the certificate or transcript. That would assist with insightful comments.
e.g Bachelor of Nursing Science (B.N.Sc), BSc Computer Science, BSc (Hons) Electrical Engineering...
PS: a 'Pass' is not awarded an Honours. Typically, 3rd class in 9ja are either (stand to be corrected on this though).
NB: in some countries and programs, honours is a distinct one year study program.

_{Inbtw, my BTech (Hons) from LAUTECH was worthy of a MSc.}

The big ish here is that human nature is very funny.

It starts with one bad job to keep body and soul. Then one year rolls by, then two. But because body and soul is being taken care of, you tend to not make the most effort.

There is serious motivation in lack. And subtle satisfaction is a killer of dreams.

Let's be a bit realistic, except you get a high skilled job directly from outside the UK, it's almost impossible to even get a 40k job in few months after arriving as most high paying jobs may require security clearance that requires at least six months residence in the uk. I agree we shouldn't put too much pressure on folks who are just coming in as it may be counter productive. Rather we should encourage people to work their way up to that high paying level.

Am a stickler for the slow and steady rise in the uk...

I did, got BRP after 3 weeks even though I paid for priority.. You are instructed not to travel out whilst the application is being processed. Not sure if there is a way around it...

CheesyTee:


Please when did you receive decision mail with priority?

I am thinking of withdrawing my application and reapply to pay for priority service. My standard application to switch from t4 to Skilled Worker Visa is now over 6 months

The news making the rounds on social media now is about the mummified bodies found in a ritualist den in Benin city early this week, you need to see that video...human beings were dried and stacked whole like kpanla fish, some never even dry finish.

Those are the outcome of get rich quick syndrome, yet we condemn the earnings of legitimate hussle.

Advision:


Dont know where you got this statistics from and the security clearance thing from but this could be misleading people.

When I arrived the uk, 45k was about the least I was offered and I know there are sectors that pay much more like IT and Tech. And I dont even think 45k is high paying particularly if you stay around the london area

I think people tend to confuse personal opinion or assumptions with facts. I literally shared screenshots in an earlier post of messages I get from recruiters with salaries ranging from 50k upward. I also do a lot of research on the company I’m interviewing with and use that as a benchmark to mention my salary expectations. The only blocker for me is that I’m still a student and this can put employers off . However, this would end in September and I can work full time from Oct in a role I’m experienced in. Hopefully, I’d come here to testify because honestly, our expectations are not unrealistic.

Ticha:


I have almost 20 years teaching experience from 3 countries. The maximum I would ever earn in the UK unless I become a school head, is about £37k. If I moved to a private school, I'd earn max 10k more for a much more greater responsibility. And a school head/ principal salary often caps out at around 60/70k as well. My starting salary was £18,300 so in 20 years even with increasing wages, this is where I top out.
There are certain sectors that pay extremely well. Majority do not. It's just what it is. It's also why the average UK wage is under £40k.

I do understand what Amara means. The fact that I'd never earn more than £37k doesn't mean that's all I have to earn or rely on.

@the bolded, this is what I was saying earlier, that you're a student means you can't even pass any security clearance for such roles now. Have you been given the job? No of course. The recruiters sending you messages does not mean you have successfully scaled the process. I have been there. We all have to work ourselves up there.
