Did the ‘shoe store’ have Nike on the front?

@omopapa,

Do you have naira?

Akorkor:
My people, please make una help me too. I have not even spent one month in the UK, and I was advised to call the police.

I moved to this house recently, and since I came in, I noticed an influx of people besides my flats. Some guys are there selling drugs, but it's not my concern. A council lady came and dropped her card. She requested I call her, which I did, and she asked if I had noticed any strange activities in the house, but I answered NO that what I saw was the untidiness around the stairs. Because I feel she may even be working with them.
So last week, I bought a camera always to see the people dropping my packages and ensure we are at least secure. I didn't face the camera towards the step but just opposite my door. This evening I came back from work, lo and beheld the camera was expunged. I quickly called the agent, and she told me the Council is actually on the matter of that house that I should calm down, and she will get back to me. She call me back that I should inform the police. Now my question is, I am scared to start calling the police—something I have never done in my life, even when in Nigeria. I am scared. What do you think I should do? Call the police or hold on?

Mamatukwas:


If I remember correctly you have kids or are expecting them to come join you abi? Doesn’t sound like an environment that is family friendly. Call the police and start looking for new accommodation ASAP!

5 years work visa = ILR (student visa is not a work visa so not included, PSW Not included as well )

10 years legally in UK = ILR (time spent as a student will count and so will PSW )

If no company is ready to sponsor, then some people stay on student visa and see how they can drag studying for 10 years. Not a cheap options sha because school fees money is not beans but its how some people have gotten ILR especially those who start from A level or first degree

What if someone is able to secure a job that is paying like £26,000-30,000/annum. Do you still need the sponsorship? I read somewhere that even if you don't have a sponsor, so far you're sending certain amount, you qualify for renewal.

omopapa:
Yes how much

Vacate the property ASAP, calling the police is indirectly involving ursef

I will advice you to move immediately, and change your address on banks/mobile/NI etc.

Calling police might call for retaliation, in addition police for this country na catch and release, they might come for a drug bust and not find any drugs as some of these guys can be Walter White.

And they might suspect you.


Please don't look at the short term financial impact of moving.

Try to move with friends/church/mosque etc.

Na only one life we get oh.


What area are you residing please.

I am not trying to scare you but there are lots of knifes on the street

Glasgow. A small county in Glasgow. I have called already. Well, it is what it is. Why would they remove my camera in the first place. And also, note that I didn’t mention any activities anyone is doing. I just reported about my stolen camera. It’s not my concern on whatever anyone is doing

Akorkor:


I didn’t find trouble. The camera only see people that comes in front of my door alone for delivery or myself alone. It’s a bell ring. No trouble found and I also have the evidence of where my camera is situated. This is just a door bell and not any cctv kind off. Anyways, what’s done is done. I have made use of advice I needed from the first response . Thank you

Viruses:

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I thought it was those kind cctv cameras found in supermarkets and the likes.

Since you're feeling insecure, start looking for another house, not easy but you'll eventually get and I believe you're in a good position to terminate your contract without penalties since the agent is aware of the security concerns there.

Akorkor:


Looking for another house already. If possible na to buy house but I heard that if you have not stayed up to 3 month in the UK the deposit is usually high like 30%. That’s what my bank told me sha. Anyways, the process is ON

@Kaylov12 and any other person who have gone through the process, I'll be having my PGCE interview next week for two schools. One is using zoom while the other will be through teams.

Please, I will love to know what to expect and how to answer the questions during the interview.

Thanks in advance

Hello Guys.

I am on Tier 2 skilled worker. Some time ago I decided to help some of my friends make payments for Visa, some for school registrations etc. As time went by they referred mutual up to a point that I help make average of 6 transactions a week. St this rate I may pass the limit for transactions that I set while opening my UK bank. Even, some of the Official Websites have started rejecting my card. I get the money from them in naira, send to peers that need pounds and then assist with the payment.

I want to know, is there any implication to this as it relates to my credit points and in the future applying for ILR as I hope to maintain a clean slate. Thanks

I heard turkey has "quality" things. Then I came here, went to a supposed shoe store in a "big" mall and they had fake Nikes.

Ukliving:
Good day all,
Our visa will expire in January 2023.
I'm really confused on what to do. Am I being crazy for even thinking of not taking the job with sponsorship? I really need wise advice. Thank you in advance

Santa2:


There is supposedly a new visa class coming up this spring, The Scale up Visa, where you just need to earn up ;Dto £33,000 while working in an organisation that qualifies as a scale up company(a company with revenue or employee growth of at least 20% over last 3 years). It is an unsponsored route i.e you don't require sponsorship from the company just like the global talent visa and of course it counts towards ILR.
