It is well

My brother the best motivation is to say the truth as it is.

Things are getting bad and to deceive somebody to something that might get even worst is worth re-considering.

With the way things are going, we dont expect the immigration situation of foreign student to improve tremendously in four years.

She is better of requesting for a refund from her school and going somewhere else (where ever that is except UK - though i prefer Canada).

Many self sponsor students in my school wished each day, they had chosen other more friendly destinations.

As for settling because her family is in UK, I think this is the aspect you can concentrate on motivating her that she can survive else if others have been surviving (besides she has her money and isnt going there to survive by hustling - i guess).

My one cent. Prevention is better than Cure.

Mekurexx:
I just tore my admission letters. Thats rubbish mehn...im not going there AGAIN.

crazydove:
I think we should be calm and make other plans.uk might be a stepping stone to other countries/opportunities for some people.

Mekurexx:
National Uni Singapore is Excellent. But cost of libing there is High. Aussie is a NO-NO

Mekurexx:
If i was your cousin. I will cry.personally i wont even eat this week... Even reading your post i started sobbing too. Well since she has a family in UK,i think moneywise she is ok.but wats the point of sch? Learning and also learning independence(financial independence). Best bet for her is either she encourages herself to continue or ask for a refund. And chances that the proposal will be a law is 99%(in my own opinion) except the schools,stakeholders,biz guys campaign against it VIGOROUSLY about the negative effects then it might be put on probation. Goodluck to your cousin

OluwaChinenyenwa:
Awwww
Thanks very much!!
Don't cry jare, its all good.
Going to another country is out of line
I really hope the stakeholders and to all "to whom" it may concern don't agree to this, very unfair i must say!!
But fingers crossed and hopes high, i really hope for her sake and for other peeps in same situation, this proposal gets revoked, wishful thinkings!!

Good evening NLanders!! Justwise, worry357, spikesc and other lovely U.K diasporans


I have a cousin who also happens to be a Nairalander, i am bringing this here for her to get other opinions and stop disturbing me
She'd soon be making her U.K student Visa application and then this news of foreign students leaving the country after studies dropped, she has been on the phone with me all evening crying cause she said she really wanted to stay back and work. i already told her to worry less cause by the time she has completed her four years in the U.K something else must have come up, i know i am very bad at motivating someone, LOL. She really can't go to any other country now cause
1)She has family in U.K and this might help settle her in fully well..

2)She already paid half of the tuition fees, everything for her Visa application is ready.


I just need you guys to say something positive to her, let her see the light at the end of that tunnel. I know some peeps are also in her shoes, so i guess whatever you guys tell her will also calm some spirits down..

Thanks

I think its going to be effective as from April 2016 I don't know if it has been passed.but they will suffer at the end cuz students won't come again

The only current adverse effect this rule will have on her is that she won't be able to work part time legally. If she has full support from family, then that wouldn't be a problem.
For staying back after school, it is still the same thing. Except you'll have to apply in your home country for Tier 2. Normally, when you get a job with sponsorship, you apply in the Uk. If this is implemented, she just have to come back and apply from Nigeria. I see no way that would be a problem for her

crazydove:


Lol Singapore?for what na.I better go for my aberdeen and maybe move to US or Aussie or New Zealand.Canada really wasted my time and money lols

Mekurexx:
Education in Singapore is competitve plus their country is really cool. Well depends on the course. Im going for occupation health&safety/ environmental health &safety.and the curriculum sef is really engaging. Just have a good look at the Uni website yourself

OluwaChinenyenwa:
She needs some other form of sustaining herself na, the minimum wage she'd be paid will go a long way for her,
Naija is hard now o!!

Wait, can you apply for a job in the U.K after graduation? And just come back to Nigeria and apply for the work Visa?
Getting a sponsor in the U.K is quite hard, more or less seeking for a job from a different country!!

I saw this online and I decided to share.it seems the uk wants to ban foreign students from working.please read:

justwise:


If universities allow this to happen then they will feel the pain. The govt will make a u-turn after year when the income from foreign students start dropping like bag of potatoes

justwise:


That is for foreign nurses and that is after 5 yrs of working here. Nurses earn more than that for a start anyway.

crazydove:


Lol Singapore?for what na.I better go for my aberdeen and maybe move to US or Aussie or New Zealand.Canada really wasted my time and money lols

spikesC:


That's the only problem. Hopefully, that part would be scraped.
Whether you apply for Tier 2 visa in the Uk or Nigeria still depends on you getting the job first. If she doesn't get a job before her visa expires, then it still doesn't matter.

If she gets a job and collects her sponsorship letter, she would travel back home and apply. It's just that simple

justwise:

How old is your cousin?

obiaguna:


How did Canada waste your money?

2016? Now lets ask God to push U.K over to 2017 hehehhe


U.K blaming immigrants for their woes since time immemorial
I thought this died along with Magaret Thatcher? Who resurrected this proposal again?
Nawa o. Na to seek asylum go be the next big thing now o

milychocs:



Her name is Theresa May
....and she is veeeery popular with the average white British person
Read the Daily Mail comments and see their general opinion
It will be an eye opener for some....the comments
All of them

Cheers

Petitediva14:


The proposal would be thrown out. That woman won't get her way. By the time the universities and the finance minister/education minister come with the figures of the billions international students pay and how countries who tried this nonsense have lost out then they would think twice. Let us wait and see. They would be looking at the wrong people to put blame on. Rubbish!!!
