hi,

i didn't know NI had a card.. all i got was a letter

The only card i have is my BRP

NI comes in letter form only, no card (anymore).
They phased out the NI card thing in 2010 or so.

Hello everybody, please I will like to know the best way or ways to get into construction job(eg plumbing or hvac) as a new immigrant in UK with a mechanical Engineering degree from Nigeria. I have some professional experience as site supervisor on HVAC project.
All my online search are not too clear about which path to follow.
City and guilds for 1yr to get plumbing certificate or white SkillCard AQP are the top things I have read so far. Please help I am using three weeks already without a job as dependent and all carer jobs I see so far demand driving experience that I dnt have.

Please, kindly do not say this as if you are sure.
You do not know the basis for the exemption (in this case).

I don’t think you understand the mean of what was place in front of you. You are questioning the basis of the said exemption. That is not the question that was place to the forum.

The question is straightforward, if you are exempt from immigration control you are have rights to public fund. Irrespective of whatever the basis of their exemptions are.

It’s right there in black and white, if you have no recourse to public fund this is something that they would make clear to you 100%. They don’t dance around that.

The link that you provided were not relevant to this case. I have screenshot exactly those who are entitled to it.

BorisJohnson:



Alake.....
Before you let someone confuse you on this forum, I hope you know that there is an aspect of this whole thing that it's only you that knows? So far on this forum, it's only you that knows the precise reason why you have that exemption vignette. Again, I will say it. Having an exemption vignette alone does NOT give u access to public funds.
Although I am tempted to ask, but I will not ask you which of the categories is your exemption based on.

Why are you targeting the reason why he has an exemption? That’s my question. The reason he has an exemption is irrelevant when it comes to access to public fund. Again am not having a go at you, just wondering the rational behind that.

The link you provided says nothing about having access to public fund. Just things about exemption from immigration control.

So you aren’t tackling the actual question. Did you see the screenshot that I provided? Anyone who is under “Refugee status, humanitarian, right of abode, exemption of immigration control, ILR” etc can have access to public fund. The reason why they have a refugee status or why they have a right of abode is irrelevant.

Couple of advice in the past pages of this thread is to check local agencies around him. They will train him and put him in some jobs. He can also use websites like indeedflex.
Hope he has applied for his NI, he would need that to get a job.

A friend has been having issue with an overzealous tenant who act like she owns the house because she's oldest tenant with about 6 years. An issue happened over the weekend which required police intervention. Please see attached screenshot.

The issue now is that my friend plan to send the agency a message that he wouldnt be going ahead with an outstanding January half rent payment he earlier agreed to if they don't reply to the email he sent. The agency has a bit of not replying to tenant emails on housing issues.
The January rent is outstanding because he refused to pay them when the house boiler went bad & his bathroom was leaking for about 2 weeks in December. I think the agency later negotiated for half rent instead of no rent payment.

Pleaseare you in London?

Your location ?

I have about 4 packs for free

This some serious issues. For one the agency needs to have a meeting and give clarity to every single person in the property. Do they want multiple bins in a communal kitchen? Do you have to leave your individual bins in your rooms etc

Your mate can withheld the rent money until they deal with the issues at hand. You pay for comfort, not to be abused physically or emotionally.

Finally I hoped you reported the assault to the police. And had the other neighbour as a witness. Was the other neighbour attacked too? Or her son just only attacked you?

Need a legit person who sends pounds. I have naira. Good rates pls

Please my people I need help.

If anyone has first-hand info on how a care company can get sponsorship license (Tier2) please assist me.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I'm trying to open a LISA and based on recommendations here I have been aiming at moneybox, however I don't know how I ended with Hargreaves Lansdown. Can I ask if there is any fundamental difference between the 2, help my confused state biko.


Thank you.

God will keep blessing people on this group. Provisional license out in 7 days record time with the address posted here. I saw it with passport and brp in the mailbox. I guess they came together.

Please how did you go about your provisional license, i applied online , paid and was sent a form to fill which requires a guarantor.
The guarantor is the problem like this.
Does it mean people like us that does not know anybody in this country will not drive?

Did you have a Nigerian licence? If not then have you been in the UK for at least 6 and half months?

Thank you for replying me. It is the same job but they didn’t go ahead to officially give me an offer letter. However this year, actually this night i got the job offer with 28k salary.

I am am married so me, my husband and my daughter(3+ years old. She will be 4 by December)


My husband and child will remain in Nigeria until i sort myself out as regards accommodation, school for my daughter and the rest. So within 3 months they should be joining me.

Hi,

I’m looking at taking a Reproduction and Development course MSc. in Uk towards a career in Embryology. Do you think I’m threading the right part and how good is this in terms of job and remaining in Uk.

A particular agency charges £2k for IT related professional courses and promises to assist in securing jobs after completion and also provide references when needed.

Does this not look like scam with their exorbitant charges ?

I need 200 pounds and I have Naira.

Anyone working in construction, please advise...

Ticha:


37.9% of the balance (eg 5000)/ 12 to give you a monthly payment or x12 to give you the annual interest payment. Basically if you have a loan or credit for 3k, your annual repayment if you don't clear the balance every month is 3k x 37.9.

https://www.thebalance.com/calculate-monthly-interest-315421 - breaks it down even further.

sorry to ask,but are you in new Zealand or uk?

This would help.

It's basically the interest rates and mode of management.

Moneybox IMO is the best for now.

Actually, some offer that and it's not a scam

Only advantage is that they'll maybe help with a placement. Apart from that, you can learn most of the stuff yourself

Sometimes it doesn't result in securing a job. They promise heaven and earth , how they do cv, prepare you for interview but once you pay and start those benefits will disappear into thin air

Some deliver on the benefits but a lot don't so do your due diligent before you go ahead

To get a UK provisional license you need to have been in the UK for just over 6 months first, maybe that’s why they are asking for a guarantor.

But you can drive as a learner on your Nigerian licence for at least 12 months, in the mean time.

Thank you very much, I will take my time to listen to the video attached to see if there are other benefits. I'm not keen on interest rates as I'm not permitted to earn interest.

Moneybox ohhh
Haagreaves ohhh
All will give you interest.

If you are truly not permitted to earn interest, and you really wish to live by that, here is a siMple solution:
Go to Poundland, buy a piggybank (it costs £1).
Then be saving your money in there. Keep the piggybank safely under your bed.
No interest will accrue.

To my bosses here. Are there agency or company people pay to get and secure tier 2 sponsorship visa. I mean is this even possible?
