quote author=TheGuyFromHR post=113333306] You can look for a zero hours flexitime job. Something like the Royal Mail/NHS Professionals bank kind of thing where you are not bound to work at specific times and book shifts you want which fit your availability (maybe night/twilight shifts in your case, if you have children). Second, if your husband is going to be doing domiciliary care, obviously housing location doesn't really matter because the clients could be anywhere. Roll the dice and look for a house anywhere, preferably as central (or not too out of the way) in your city as you can get in this harsh rental market (for your own future commuting). For example, think somewhere central like Maryland, Gbagada or Surulere in Lagos. Regarding a car, it's entirely up to you what you buy. Fireworks were thrown about quite a few pages back regarding the desirability or not of buying a cheap old banger as a new arrival - you decide what you want to buy, you can either buy something within the loan amount or nothing stops you from adding money on top of the loan amount to buy a preferably better car than what the loan amount could fetch. It's your call.[/quote] Thank you. Let me search for those kind of jobs and be busy for now until his job is stable. |

Dear UK-based Global Freelancers: 1. How do you receive money (USD) in the UK? 2. I saw a USD account feature on my Revolut app, can it be used for USD inflow? 3. How are Freelancers that earn from abroad taxed in the UK? 4. If I have a Nigerian USD account and receive USD into it, then convert to Naira, then convert to GBP, would that make sense and will the inflow be taxed? Thanks |

Yes you can and you should be fine if you follow the plenty advice on CC usage that abound on this thread. Basically pay up your balance in full every month or in the least make the minimum payment. The rule of thumb is don't spend money you don't already have on your credit card and you will be ok. Adebayo82: |

[quote author=tolajay post=113347621]Dear UK-based Global Freelancers: 1. [How do you receive money (USD) in the UK? Your clients can either wire the money direct to your UK GBP account (it will be converted at the day's exchange rate), or you can open a Wise USD account so that you can receive directly in USD, as a separate account will help for accounting (and maybe tax) purposes. 2. I saw a USD account feature on my Revolut app, can it be used for USD inflow? No idea. Try it and see. 3. How are Freelancers that earn from abroad taxed in the UK? You have to declare your income to HMRC separately by filing a self-assessment either online or manually. If your income is sizeable, best to pay an accountant so they can claim all the reliefs claimable and loop you through the loopholes 4. If I have a Nigerian USD account and receive USD into it, then convert to Naira, then convert to GBP, would that make sense and will the inflow be taxed? See the response to 2 above. No-one goes checking your accounts for inflows to be taxed, except where their amounts raise questions at your bank. It is your duty to declare your income to the government |

Good evening seniors in the house. I want to ask a question. What is full Uk drivers License means when employers ask for it. Is having automatic license that’s is not provisional also full license? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Estroller: 7:19pm On May 31, 2022 |
Did you get the "automatic licence" after passing your uk practical driving test? If yes, then what you hold is a full UK driving licence. Romoller: |

Lexusgs430: Bank staff does not only apply to hospital na. Many care homes offer bank shift. To the dude asking; yea, come in first. You can apply as a bank staff. That would actually be more beneficial to you in terms of flexibility. Whilst at it, also go online and apply to remote jobs as a Data Analyst. You never might know. It may not come immediately but if you have already started in the care industry, then at least you have an income. Keep at it. Something should eventually click |

Pearlyfaze:info can be found here :- https://www.gov.uk/indefinite-leave-to-remain Depends on your route- 5 years or 10 years. Each must be lawful/legal By now you should know which one you have started on For tier 2/H&C/skilled worker you need to spend 5 years in UK to get indefinite leave to remain (ILR) and one year after ILR to get citizenship and passport. 5+1 = 6 years Some(illegals) use the 20 year route ie 20 years if illegal goes to 10 years legal and then ILR = total of 30 yrs (Consult with a solicitor for this) 1 Like 2 Shares |

Good evening elder. Please has anyone travel to the UK from Abuja using Qatar airways recently? Were you required to present a COVID test result at the Abuja Airport? Response will be much appreciated. Thank you |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by semmyk(m): 9:15pm On May 31, 2022 |
Yep, 5 years for most: H&C/skilled worker (Tier 2). If however you are academically inclined, you may roll into ILR in 3 years. Not a route for many though. #GlobalTalent See https://www.gov.uk/global-talent-researcher-academic Same 3 years apply for Global Talent (digital technology) #leader (exceptional talent). It reminds me of the good old HSMP. giselle237: Pearlyfaze: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Viruses: 9:25pm On May 31, 2022 |

Viruses:After 20 years such a person who had no visa, can apply to start a ten year route to settlement, applying 4 x 2.5 year visas. 20 + 10= 30 yrs to ILR. He/she will need evidence from every year of his residence in the UK. |

Kudos @Viruses. #innovative #ingenious For those that might want wider reach, you may substitute the 5G enabled phone with a 5G (CPE) router (most should. Seems 3 has a 5G router on contract for about £20 pm (5G Home Broadband Hub on 'special' with £60 pre-paid Mastercard). EE and Vodafone seems expensive with their offerings. If you can, you might want to source Huawei 5G CPE pro range (H112-370) router For standalone 5G router, see https://5g.co.uk/guides/best-5g-router/ Viruses: 2 Likes 1 Share |

hustla: 1. No to the first half of the question, and yes to the second half. She's on a student visa, so she is not being sponsored. Sponsorship is a specific process whereby the employer tells the Home Office you are working for them and you are given a COS number (same concept as a CAS number for students) to apply for a Skilled Worker (former Tier 2) visa. If you get a skilled worker visa, you have to spend 5 years on that visa (you can change employers) to qualify for ILR. 2. If you are on a student visa, all time spent legally in the UK counts towards the 10 year ILR route, including student visas and the post-study visa. |
