Hello House, please i want to ask a question, which i will like you to make an enquiry about in case you don't know about it. I've been to the UK with a 6months visitor visa and stayed for one month. I have a 2years visitor visa now. The question is, if i get to POE and am asked, how long are you staying? And my response is one month. Then i now stayed 5months before coming back home. Then let's say like 7months later i decided to travel back to the UK, wont they tell me that the last time i came, i said am staying for one month but i stayed for 5months. Will this be an issue for me to enter again? However i know they said the maximum you can stay is 6months. Pls i need a response.

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.

Got the visa while i was still employed, later resigned to focus on my side business which i was actually doing before, while i was still employed. But i will place someone in charge to oversee it on my behalf before traveling for vacation

humblemoi:


It depends on how you explain what you were doing
for 5 months while being expected to still be paid employment. It might be a factor if requested during your visa renewal or at the point of entry whichever comes first. It is all done on a case by case basis.

If you are lucky to go through POE without questioning when that visa expires you will struggle to renew it.

Even if you are self employed nobody goes on holiday and stays for 5-6months. You have to explain what you were doing in the UK for that long.

What they have in your file is that you are employed and annual holiday is not longer than one month.

I think it might be a thing of concern when the person wants to have a renewal.

But I also heard that one is not expected to stay more than 6months in a stay even if your visa is 2yrs, 5yrs, 10yrs. However as a self employed deciding to stay for 3 months having someone to take charge while you are away, it's your money you are spending.
I guess the whites do travel to somewhere and spend vacation for up to 3months.
Please I stand to be corrected, just my opinion o

Thanks a lot...Do they have contact details?

omopapa:
Yes I can help you with that if you haven’t sorted it

Please as a dependent, my husband has been in U.K. since January on student visa, I want to start my processing now from Nigeria, is it my account I will use as POF or my husband Nigeria account?

Urgent please

Solumtoya:


Oh, nice. I can see two people have used my link. One person is yet to order the card though.

If you're the one who has ordered the card, all that is left is for you to perform 3 transactions of minimum £5 each. You can either use the virtual card and link it to your phone so you can just tap the phone to pay, otherwise, you wait for the card to arrive next week.

Let me know how I can get your Account Number and Sort Code to send your 25 quids.

Dami106:
Ahhh, but what if i have a good explanation/reason for staying 5months? But i am aware of people that stayed more than a month without issues, even someone on this forum mentioned she has seen some self employed going on vacation for couples of months.

Staying in the comfort of UK and inciting racial violence against you own people. what a shame …
Later we’ll shout BLM

How did this happen? You have link to the full story?

Its not just about having a deposit. The bank looks at affordability. That is, can you pay your mortgage monthly through the term of the mortgage without defaulting? You need to have stable and regular income to demonstrate affordability.

If you have a job that covers your expenses including the monthly repayments, then you are good to go.

Osoderi:


please i heard that age factors also affects buying house in the UK. Does age factor affects pls? like if someone is 45 -50, can the person buy a house?

Then someone that have a permanent job and been paid £1600 every month, and keep saving £1000 every month for two years to have £20,000 down payment, can that person be able to buy a house with that kind of salary? Must my salary be bigger than £1600?

Thank you for your response.

Interesting, so he was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison, which means he would be eligible for automatic deportation.

Just reading a lot about this guy now on tweet.

Lexusgs430:


If he is British born, nothing like deportation.......

I greet the house...

Please I'm about to process CBN form A for school fee payment. I hear some banks are faster/slower than others in remitting funds to the university abroad. From experience, what banks remit without so much delay?

I really appreciate the advice, as I want to get my funds paid without too much delays.
