jumpshot:
Hello everyone. So my friend is a nurse and has gotten COS from a UK hospital trust already. Now the issue is she went for TB test at IOM centre in Ikeja but was asked to do sputum test because she's had TB some years ago. But then her resumption date is meant to be April and sputum test takes 2 months. Considering the chaos going on with the government and immigration of nurses to UK this is an opportunity she really does not want to miss.

Please is there a way to speed this process up or fast track it so that she can make the cut by April ending? She's so so frustrated

When she was diagnosed with TB, did she undergo the proper treatment pathway ??

If not, that UK trip would only happen in the mind ....... cheesy

Oga lexusgs430, I think it is possible for someone on benefit to sponsor his spouse. This is the result of my finding on ukvi website.



Lexusgs430:



She does not earn, she is simply a freeloader, living her life at the expense of British taxpayers........

She CANNOT bring him over applying for a spousal visa, because she needs to be in active employment, earning £18,600 per annum (not sure if figure is still the same). ......

She can change her name, if she wants..... The person, remains the same, so does contents of her documentations........ grin

She needs payslip of 6 months, bank statements etc etc

KEYWORD : SPONSOR NEEDS TO BE IN ACTIVE EMPLOYMENT.......... cheesy

I think I deserve a slap...... Biko, where Bianca or Will ....... grin

Good evening fam.

I'm new in Aberdeen (roughly 2 weeks). Came to join Wifey who's a student. I have a bachelor's in Engineering and 3 years work experience in the Bank.

Biko, I need any and every pointers toward getting a job here.

Anyone with any ideas is welcome.

Pa. Lexusgs340 Ray7878 and other ancestors please come through for a brother.

*pours libation on the thread* cheesy cheesy


The advice I give everyone in your shoes is simple: Follow the job thing is 3 ways.

1. Short Term: Get an easily available casual job and start immediately so you can foot your bills. The bills here roll in as you breathe. You can get these at any agency near you or indeedflex. It's typically Warehouse, Care, Factory, Deliveroo, whatever. Seek high paying ones like Amazon, Royal Mail if you have the energy.

2. Mid-Term: Now you have something to foot bills, look for a more desirable job that brings you closer to your career path. Whether the Company sponsors or not is immaterial, you will earn the UK Work experience. This could be anything really, depends on you and the field you're interested in. It could even be a volunteer job (there are weblinks for those shared here previously). So Data Clerk, Customer Servuce roles, Entry level Finance, Volunteer Engineer, Etc.

3. Long-Term: Land that job that will sponsor you and you can build a career in. Choose a Career path and build your self in it. Preferably one you had experience in prior to coming here.

Remember, it doesn't really matter what you studied, it's more about what you can offer. Certifcations and Degrees are of little value if you have no skills in them.

From Day 1, start applying for all 3 categories I listed and keep at it! You can set a target of 10 applications daily. Get ready for lots of rejections and difficult interviews but with time, you would start understanding what is needed and what you're suited for.

Goodluck and Sincere apologies for the long epistle.

Being a CEO would be a good start.
Regarding the pay, a lot of people live on less, let alone a two income household as yours is.

customer service is a good start, if you live in the big cities it quite easy to get into the banks customer service roles, hsbc(first direct), satander, barclays etc. Just know how to answer question using the STAR format. when you are in, you have access to loads and loads of internal job roles from within, However if you keep at it, you will be able to bag a front role in no time.

Revolut is giving out £50 Referral bonus for referrals in the next 3 weeks. The person has to order a card for £4 and do 3 transactions of minimum £5 each. I usually share the referral bonus I get sonthe £25 will cover all you spend.

Whether you use my code or not, Revolut bas been my most reliable Bank for transactional purposes. The features I love most are the speed of International transfers (I can send money to US or Canada or most Countries and recipients get it same day) and their disposable virtual card for security.

Revolut has been doing these bonuses in past 4 months. Unfortunately, it has been reducing monthly from £500 down to £50 now.

My referral code: https://revolut.com/referral/jedidi9xv3!APR1-22-AR

Honestly if she is on PIP then she would probably be on the mobility part of PIP. And when you look at the reasons for being put in a mobility part of PIP then I doubt it would help their case for a spouse visa.

Another real UK life story...... People think I have sense, so I get involved in mediations.......

Wife got approved for student visa, husband applied for dependent Visa (both granted).......

Wife got family members already based in the UK, prior to husband's visa application, he was briefed by her family, that he would need to work to support wife, during her courses (she can't work and pay fees with 20 hours work)......

Husband agreed, carry all for chest like tortoise... Wife started displaying negative attitude towards her husband, months after arrival (he already slaved, paid all her fees, feeding, accommodation) etc etc .......

For almost a year, he never saw his wife, like Adam saw eve, after eating that apple (he still carried on footing her bills)..... Loyal husband.......

Now wife is saying, she is no longer interested in the marriage.........

I have tried to only drop a summary..........

LONG AND SHORT...... YOU MIGHT THINK YOU ARE MARRIED, BUT SHE/HE IS NOT MARRIED ......

Marriage in our generation no easy ooo. Many people enter for wrong reason , some marry just because their friends are marrying .. after they enter no tolerance or manage again. ..
