Still same error. It's saying job type is not on the list

Any immigration lawyer in the house that can assist with this? we are so confused and our student visa expires next month. The salary is way above 46k btw


I think the answers you have received so far, would be the best this thread can offer...... If you are seeking the services of an immigration lawyer, you would not receive a pro bono package......

Was God employed into Inec before Otti and other LP senators and Reps were declared Winners?

Exactly what Atiku was saying, if it comes in the way of LP, the election was free and fair

But if LP didn't win, it was rigged and the whole country must be burnt.

Shame on una

I don't support any party, I am just an observer (not even LP)......

But election riggers, make certain calculations and give what they can't get away with......

I simply want good governance and Nigeria that works for the majority......

It is not the benefit system that is bankrupting council or the government. Let the rich and the non-doms pay their fair share of tax. Let the government claw back all the fraudulent pay outs for PPEs. This is a target on the sick and disable. The Tories are out of touch.


Rishi is asking questions, other politicians cannot ask.... It's only the tories, that seem to make attempts to chop the benefits system...... I fully stand with Rishi.....

UK benefits system, is massively and grossly abused.......

Remember IDS bedroom tax and other policies IDS implemented (shame he did not cut deeper).......😁

The government needs to protect professionals, so they don't get bullied into issuing flimsy off work sick passes.......πŸ‘

Goodenoch:


Completing a self-assessment and running a business are two completely different things that'll never intersect in this specific context.

Investing in stocks is not 'running a business' so you can invest Β£1 Billion if you have it and make millions in dividends or price appreciation, and it won't be a violation of your visa rules.

Taxes for the dividends depend on your overall income and you pay tax on it as usual with income after you subtract your personal allowance (typically Β£12,570) and also subtract the Β£500 dividend allowance. How you will pay depends on how much it is - here's the HMRC explainer page. You can also call them. The link is in the page - https://www.gov.uk/tax-on-dividends

Youtube videos can also be helpful in breaking it down further.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately I already opened an account. Would have liked to use your referral link.

Just to confirm please, if the stock dividend exceeds Β£500 for a tier 2 visa holder is that deem as a business with the need to complete a tax assessment?

Also, is that a violation of the visa rule?



I am not a taxation specialist, so wouldn't want to give you wrong advice........ 😊

Hi,

Thank you Lexusgs430.

Yes the visa holder has a national insurance number and why do you ask please?

- To open any share dealing account, your national insurance number, is one of the requirements......

I’m confused about your second point please. Does this mean a tier 2 visa holder MUST not buy and hold shares outside an ISA?

- You are permitted to buy, sell & hold.... You can hold shares outside an ISA account, but it's more tax efficient to open an ISA account.........

Speaking of ISA, can a tier 2 visa holder open a LISA and receive benefit of the Β£1K for every Β£4K saved towards buying their first home? Is that seen as receiving public funds?
- Yes, you can open a LISA account (if you're under 40 years old) + hope to buy a new build + property is not over Β£450K (check this figure)........

What’s GIA please?

- General Investment Account

Lastly, so opening a trading 212 invest account and buying and holding stocks outside an ISA is a form of business as you may have to complete a tax assessment once the dividend exceeds Β£500? Before it does, is it still safe to buy and hold?

- Very safe .......🀣

Don't forget to use my T212 referral link..... We both receive free shares.......😁

Hi great people, please can a visa holder buy and hold stocks and shares? Will that be perceived as a form of trading or investment? Also, if one can and the dividend exceed Β£500 does it mean one has to file a tax return (will this then become a business?)?

Will appreciate your responses. Thanks

- Does this visa holder, have a national insurance number......
- Buying stock and shares, is classified as a form of trading/investment
- You have tax efficient ways of buying stocks/shares.... Simply open an ISA account, you can invest Β£20,000 per tax year (free of taxation)......
- If you open a GIA, you would be expected to pay tax, over any capital gains above Β£500.00.........
- Trading is indeed a form of business, some investors receive over £1500 dividends payout monthly........🀣😁

I dont know the HR never met them for a day. They never called directly. Even during documentation i dont think any of them attended to me. If the hr is in that building i dont know the floor. If they call hr those ones will say they need staff number. I dont want them to come and meet to remind me of data policy issues. it is not spie work but as with most govt dept deal with the public. I have started looking for another house.
The landlord wrote something that looks like i am lying.

I will call them up tomorrow to see if they are good with the info they have. Assuming i have a payslip, i would have just blurred some parts and send it to them.

You are over thinking this issue and really terrified of that email you received.......

All you need to do is to speak to HR, requesting guidelines on how to provide reference to your estate agents.......

Most estate agents that insure their tenants rents, have requirements from their insurance providers, to check all this documentations or they are simply conducting their due diligence.....

Yes indeed. I think his portrayal of Lagos was very balanced. Oftentimes they tend to show only the slums and poverty ridden places but we caught a glimpse of how the other half live in Lekki and environs.

Elders please I need advise on what to do. I recently resumed a role in the civil service which required me to change location. The house I got said they needed reference but they did not go into detail to state the type of reference.

I received a call from the agent asking for employer's reference this after they obtained reference from my present landlord.. I explained to them that the dept where I work do not encourage their staff to put up exact dept where they work on even linkedin.

They now asked me for payslip to show as evidence that I work in the civil service but since it is my first month, I told them the situation. They now asked for work contract. While battling if that could be a breach of data policy of this particular dept, I received a mail this morning on the use of ID card . It was a general mail sent out that staff should not use ID card outside the building, staff are not allowed to make presentation with ID card or take a picture while with the ID card.

I got a call from Agent doing reference check and discussed the situation and they settled for a screenshot of my start date and my salary. Unfortunately, salary was not stated on the offer letter instead the offer referred me back to the advert. I still submitted to them that part of the letter like that. This agent now came back to ask for payslip again. I just replied their email to look at their outbound calls to me and see notes documented. Then they later replied thank you for the email and information supplied.

I thought the reason for asking for contract is to be sure I am working and can pay future rent. Please how do I go about this? For the record the rent is less than 550pcm bills inclusive which can be paid by anyone working fulltime @Lexusgs430 and elders abeg wetin I go tell these people in case they come back.

Cos my present apartment, na landlord tell me where my neighbour de work, location and how he will soon start working from home.

Have you spoken to your HR department....... To do spy work, no easy .......🀣😜

Hello Gurus in the house.

Please I need guidance on visiting the US for a vacation..

2022 while I was in Nigeria tourists visa for vacation was denied.

Currently, I am in the UK as a skilled worker for a year now, I want to visit the US for a vacation, what and what do I need.

Do I still go on a tourist visit on vacation or conference, if it's conference, then what conferences will relate to my kind of job as a skilled worker for Health Care Assistant/Support worker.
So I don't really know what the US embassy wants.

I don't know if i am not doing the right thing with the DS160 form as expected.

Please your suggestion and opinions will count. Thanks

they will put another count on him and his jail will be longer if he please not guilty. Worse still, he will be in EFCC custody while trial is going on while he keeps pleading not guilty, it will be like Nnamdi Kanu case.
