I guess the question here is... did plagiarism? Did you copy and paste without summarising and referencing it?



Always use turnitin to check ur assignments before submitting. Make sure it’s green . Good luck � mate lol �

No rules...it down to personal choices. Many are even abandoning school and going to tier 2... but I feel its a trap to keep people in minimum wage for 5 years all for paper

Is it possible to do this?

U can switch your visa anytime. Infact, the earlier the better as ur 5years start counting when u switch.

Not sure about this. Once u switch, u can discuss with school on the way forward. Or discuss before the switch. This area get as e be.

Yes. You need pOF £1,270 (30 days) except ur employer indicates that they are providing financial support in your cos.

Healthcare worker visa do not pay ihs. You can check your status on the gov.uk site. It will simulate the cost of ihs (if any) for ur visa category.



Thanks for the kind information. Please lastly do I need to do a TB test?

Try and find a way to insert yourself, even if it's at the periphery and work your way to where you can.
Areas like information governance and privacy, data protection, moving on to DPO (not Nigeria police o), you could then segue into infosec at some level, maybe.
I write some JDs and the pay is good for those areas, even though they're not considered pure IT/tech roles.

Not everyone can do pure tech, we all have different abilities, for instance, I can barely count, hate Excel with a passion (still learning that program after all these years), and don't even know how I managed to get through training school when I got my bank job. Payroll stuff gives me nightmares when the spreadsheets land in my inbox.

The areas I mentioned above are for people like me who are most comfortable dealing with words, not numbers. I function best when dealing with policies, firing off emails and answering the sometimes inane queries from employees (HR here is in many ways not very different from it is in Naija, sometimes employees bring the craziest kinds of stuff to us). You see what you can do to upskill in an area you can manage. You might be surprised to find there's something within your abilities that will fetch you the figures you named above.

This is me, I currently work in hr&admin here in Nigeria and I love and enjoy my work so much but I’ve heard hr job in the uk are not there for foreigners, it’s quite wild because now I’m thinking of a different career path wen I land in the uk with my student visa.

UK residents, I hope you're all aware your energy bills (gas & electricity)...... Would be going up by 85% in sept/oct.........

Your energy bills are going up to £4500.00 per annum.......

We'll eventually learn how to live like the oyibo man was living before central heating came in the 70s and 80s, when people were doing coal fire in one room then off to bed. Jumpers, jumpers, thick blankets, thick blankets, wool coats, etc.

After all, apart from some parts of Scotland, the UK isn't really a cold country any more, thanks to global warming.

No high-cost of living babies will appear, there was no lockdown baby boom either. Unless there was an abortion boom, probably, but in any case, pregnancies and live births during the last two years remained broadly the same. Reality is hard to avoid these days o.

House,

So I bought goods from a Company. Business transaction. Items over £500+ were not delivered. We found out and asked for a refund for items not delivered. Total transaction was much larger but they delivered the rest.

It’s been over 3 weeks now and the contact guy keeps posting me. Every week he promises to do a refund still no show. What’s the fastest way to get my money out please.

It’s an Indian run company if it helps and payment was made via bank transfer not PayPal so I can’t even use the PayPal route.

I’m getting pissed. Any advice is welcome. Thank you.

Appeal to his good conscience.......... If this fails, and business is traceable...... Small claims court......

Bank transfer is simply a NO - NO........

NB: The importance of credit card payments.........

Please I wanted to confirm if it was okay to claim 12 months stay in uk from Sep 1 (i entered on the 28th of Sep).

The visa application page only asked of month and year of entry and no specific date.

Thank you.

My question is on switching from tier 4 student visa to skilled worker visa (health and care worker visa).

Did you use those assignment devil sites ......... If you did, this matter was extensively discussed, many pages back.........

If one sticks to 20 hour's work restrictions, one does not require help to do assignments.........

That rule was put in place, for a reason...... To enable students, study........ cheesy

I guess if you are able to scale the course on next attempt. Avoid getting caught later on. Subscribe to writing tools like Quilibot, Grammarly etc to help you paraphrase your writing s before submitting through turnitin for final checks. These tools also help give you an insight into your plagiarism score while you write.

Yes you have a contract with your school and if you've passed certain stage with them, you can't avoid not paying up your balance fees. I would've suggested you discuss this with them or an immigration lawyer to get their views. Cos the minute you no longer show up in school, they will withdraw your CAS and terminate your study visa with Home office ...same Home office you will be submitting a tier 2 visa application to.

Thanks for the kind information. Do I have to pay my fees finish thoe, as I have paid my first year fees finish. Left with my second year.

If the price hike happens, pre loaded units would simply be adjusted to reflect changes.........

How much is priority please? Also what if the person has already done a standard application...can the person withdraw and start afresh? What about the almost £2k Visa application fee?

If you have gone for biometrics already, you won't be refunded. If a decision has already been on your application you can't withdraw either. I'm not sure about paying for priority service if you had already picked standard service.

My cousin had a council flat, she fell in love with someone in Nigeria, decided to relocate to Nigeria......

She did not want to return her flat back to the council, so I was offered exclusive status..........

Less than a year of my access to her mansion, she returned back (with her tails between her legs)......

She now wanted me out almost immediately, see me see wàhálà........ cheesy

She started to frustrate my life, I could not find any accommodation, within my pocket friendly range....... cheesy

My delightful cousin now derived a mathematical calculation plan..........

She split all the bills into daily rates.......... grin

Cable, landline, gas, water, rent....... Now had a daily rate attached (till I eventually moved out)............... wink

It was actually a pleasant experience, in comparison to my hostel experience..........

When I entered UK, no where to go..... I called a homeless centre, I was referred to a homeless unit in Hither Green. This homeless unit housed druggies, those homeless people that slept in front of shops etc etc etc.......

I stayed in this unit for almost 6 months......... My eyes too don see something..........

That hostel was about £131 per week........ I was economical with the truth, when I was asked if I was on unemployment benefits........... grin

They kept chasing DSS etc etc , when alarm wan burst, I take off ............ grin

I still have the contract I signed........... It's now looking faded.........
