Good morning great minds,

Please I need help on a situation. My hubby works in care at the moment on a tier 2 worker visa. It's supposed to be supported living. And he was employed as a positive behavioural specialist. He has trainings and skills till level 3 on this.

He takes the train to this new job and we were just trying to manage and bear the cost for transportation pending when we move to the new place. But prices of housing there is so much on the high side. He was going to work about 4 days in a week initially. I was able to do some shifts on the side with that arrangement but as soon as he was given the cos and he was successful they syarted acting up. He doesn't have a permanent shift. And I can't even work as the shifts are nights and days sometimes.. Recently, they changed his rota and started giving him shifts like 1.5hrs per day. It's so wild that he has to go to this job just for 1.5hr and spend about 20pounds on transportation and then go back the next day for 1.5hrs again! We have kids and it's affecting us financially. We were enduring this becauseof the sponsorship. Now he just feels trapped.

He has emailed the office but they havent acted or responded to his email.
Its beginning to affect us. We don't know how to tackle this as we are barely 2 years here. Please anyone who can help as to what to do about this.

Thank you.


Start urgently looking for a new sponsorship role.

Well done my people.

Please what does it mean when a student is applying for a skilled worker dependent visa “completed the course they were sponsored to study”

Can they apply after the date on their CAS if their CAS course end date is Sept 22nd 2023? Or they have to wait till graduation or after the visa on their Brp ends.

what kind of negative and disturbing comment is this?

Why are you making it a gender thing like Men don't also cheat??

If you eventually have to go back to Nigeria and marry, let the woman remain in Nigeria. The woman will cheat so make sure you do a DNA test on all your children. Don't take the woman to the UK.

1. Your UK license is not an additional license. Once you acquire that, it supercedes all other permission to drive.

Same way you can’t refuse to apply for a full license until later and keep driving on the provisional one because it allows you to drive still.

2. No. 1 aside, If you read your policy document you’ll see that there’s a requirement to disclose any material changes to your status as the policy holder and also to the car. Your license status is a key part of that, and failing to disclose will be a basis on which they can refuse cover.

Happy to agree to disagree sha. To each his own.

No, applying for a UK provisional license does not invalidate your international driver's license in the UK. However, once you pass your UK driving test and obtain a full UK driving license, you will no longer be able to use your international driver's license in the UK.

That's exactly what I said:

'Your UK license is not an additional license. Once you acquire that, it supercedes all other permission to drive.'

The second sentence is a reference to provisional vs full license, not international licenses.

Yes, they can apply after the course end date on the CAS even b4 graduation.

This is exactly my case as an ex student. I'm waiting for the course end date on my CAS to pass b4 I can switch to a skilled worker dependant visa.

The only way around this rule is if the work start date on the COS is after the course end date on the CAS, then you can switch even b4 your course end date.

Dependent Skilled Worker Visa doesn’t need a COS to switch as the person in question CAS end date has elapsed but graduation is next year and she wants to switch to her husband’s skilled worker visa so she is trying to find out if she can do that now.

Thanks for answering but do you have anyone who has passed through this.

You have said it all. Death punishment is the best solution to most crimes such as drugs related and corruption.

Reminds me of "Amsterdam" in series "The Wire"

It means they have failed in their war against drug sales and use.

These countries need to just go the Singapore, China, Vietnam and Saudi way and just bring back the death penalty for drug pushers and murderers

I think the DVLA should look into the one year restriction to driving on UK roads for intl drivers. If am allowed to drive around for 1yr, how do i suddenly become less qualified to drive?

Trust issues.

Na why teachers after teaching you, they will ask do you understand, you go answer yes, do you understand very well, yes.

Them go still go set exams.

I said I understand, why not let the matter end there.

After all if you've been driving for one year, why not just take the test and pass.

May struggle, suffering and suffer head not master our body

There's 0 benefit attached to struggling and suffer head that we mask as aje butter and ajepako in Nigeria.

I can bet it with you that even you will rather make £50K working from home than £50K at a warehouse carrying load and offloading container

Thank you for your response. So theres nothing we can do in the meantime? He has joined the Union. They sometimes threaten their staff. I just wonder if its normal. The company is founded by a Zimbabwean. Its really affecting our home at the moment.

Oh it’s great that’s he’s a union member.

He should approach them and have them advise. A lot will boil down to what is in his employment contract so hopefully the union can get a lawyer to review it and provide guidance.

Please does anyone know if the online passport application tracker actually works. I renewed my daughters passport in July but its at "application received by the centre" since then without moving to the next stage. Do I need to worry about this?
