Hello

Please what’s the best speed post for sending jewellery from Nigeria to UK?

TheGuyFromHR:


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.

Thanks!

I used to be up to date, with immigration rules...... But my small brain is getting to capacity............

Nah, it's just filled with money matters

Just to emphasise the excellent response from TheGuyFromHR
ILR: skilled worker (Tier 2) --> 5 yrs
ILR: student (Tier 4)/PSW --> 10 yrs
ILR: global talent (researcher/digital technology) --> 3yrs or 5yrs

To the babe, since she's already doing IT Audit with NHS, she stands a good chance of getting a sponsorship from an employer or even NHS.
If she's undergrad, better to finish first.
If she's postgrad, finish the course work at least and attempt (credible) publication.
While at it, let her consider ISACA's CISA certification to supplement her UK work experience.
With a postgrad, CISA and 3yrs UK work experience in IT audit (especially if she got involved in innovative areas beyond the normal ITGC), she might stand a chance of Global Talent (digital technology) route [emerging leader / ‘exceptional promise’]

The babe works in IT Audit with NHS and she's on a student visa (20 hrs)
Does it qualify as sponsorship and towards ILR?

Thanks. She has the CISA cert also

For the global talent, I think a body has to certify her or something
Requirements were a bit lengthy last time I checked

I'll try to tell her all you wrote, hopefully she sees reason

Good morning everyone. I have some pressing questions. I am on a student visa and I want to bring in my son as a child dependant. My question is, who writes the letter of sole custody? Me or the Dad?
Also, can someone on a student visa or PSW visa open an African store? and are there any strict requirements pertaining to opening a store?
Anyone that has an answer should please respond as I am in pressing need of the answers. Thank you.

No one writes a letter of sole custody. You (the applicant who is the holder of sole custody) write a letter of consent stating the child's travel arrangements/anticipated and planned living arrangement in the UK (include your correspondence with nurseries to show planned arrangement if the child is under 5 years old) and back it up with the sole custody document from the court along with other evidence that the child has been living with you and that you're solely responsible for the child eg. Letter from the school, Letter from the doctor etc.

If the dad has sole custody, then it will be difficult to effectively convince UKVI that the child should be allowed to travel with you without the father.

No. As a student, you can't be self-employed but YES, you can be self-employed on PSW.
To open an African store, please make sure that you do your due diligence and licencing to avoid getting in trouble with the law and your finances.

True. We got the money back eventually…

Griffon:


Well, you were lucky not have met the worse darl.

By providing your mom’s passport for verification purposes, those guys could have cashed easily with it.

For the newbie.... how can you apply for right to rent before you come to uk and pick up the BRP card ..

You need the proper court sole custody papers .....

Joshtoch:
Good morning everyone. I have been a silent reader. Please I'm a bit confused. My husband came in to uk as a sponsored worker. His boss has his clients far away from the office and wants all his staff to have a car. If you can't afford he gives you a loan which will be deducted only for a few months. Now, people are rushing to buy a car they don't like because you must not exceed a particular amount the boss gave on loan. Also, if you don't have a car you will not be giving a shift. I am helpless because I don't know where we can decide to get an accommodation since he hasn't been given any job until he buys a car. Also I can't work because his work plan is not settled yet. Waking up and not knowing what to do every morning. Please house what can we do on this case?

I don't like Dom care at all, the overall experience can be so stressful for such little wages. Its almost like modern day slavery. All these care owners know and are pushing immigrats there who don't really know what they are been tied to for 5 years

Let me digress back. The first is to find a car and hopefully things will fall into place

Noted
Thanks so much.

Estroller:
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.

With Revolut free account, you can have a virtual card that would serve the same purpose as your ATM. You also have the option to generate a disposable virtual card. Revolut made me not to know this country's currency cos I rarely carry cash

Thanks, Chief.

NHS trusts have bank staffs, how do you apply for staff bank roles, if not via the hospital........

All through my studies, I worked as a bank staff, cos it afforded me the flexibility to pick shift when I did not have deadlines to meet.
Only one was with the NHS. The other two roles were in a school and a shelter home, so not only NHS trust offer bank staff position

santos247:

I use it mainly in store. I guess it can work online as well, don't quote me on that one sha

That was not my point..... He said NHS does not offer bank roles........

Follow the thread of conversation.........

No worries, I'll send you your half once the bonus is paid.
