Good Morning.

Please I need sincere advices.

I got a Customer Service job [full time] with Llyods bank, through a recruiting firm though. Net pay is £1,660 and they pay every 2 weeks (£830).

Please is that a good pay? Considering the fact tge we moved in Aug? Or I should rather start care? I was told I can make more if I start care/support job. Or i should just focus on this job?

NB: Wifey is a student and makes like £1,200/Monthly also.
My partner’s friend started out as a customer service advisor at Santander, he applied for an internal role advertised within the company and he got the job. Pay was multiple times his salary so I’d say just give it a shot. You can use it to hold body while you look for a better job.

Please want to ask a question.

I am a graphic designer, all the graphic design jobs posted I have been seeing on indeed and totaljobs (UK) are not posting 20hrs per week. Mostly are full time with average of 30hrs per week. Is it possible to work with them knowing I have limited working hour of 20 per week

Good afternoon sir, Please If a Man is working full time as a Caregiver in UK,can he save up to 3000 pounds each months ?and like how much is the hourly pay of a Caregiver?.Thanks.

I’m sorry I don’t know much about care work. I can say though that saving 3,000 after expenses seems wildly unrealistic, but take that with a pinch of salt sha.

Does it give an edge if you are already in the system before applying for those other roles?

If you sleep on the bus, shower in McDonald's and do aggressive intermittent fasting, it's possible.

just tell him its impossible

to save 3k a month I think the salary must be at least 4500 a month and that's a prudent man

masters certificate is ok for proof of English, tuberculosis certificate is not necessary as it's no longer valid because the one issued in Nigeria has 6 months validity. You no longer need TB cert if you are in the UK. She surely needs COS. She can also use the IDV app to confirm her identity instead of an appointment since she's in the UK.

I sent those links because everything is so clear in there. A little reading on those sites will answer every other question, it's that simple

Just to add, even for proof of English, she doesn't need it as she already has an earlier successful student visa application where her English was already verified and evidenced by the School she attended.



Hi I have a question please, I am EU citizen and my husband has been refused twice for EUSs family permit because the eco wasn’t satisfied that we are really married, now he wants to come by student visa and he has everything ready and also declared the refusals in his application and my details well. Has anyone gone through this please?

Why not satisfy the reason for the refusals.......

When a cheaper relocation option is available, why tunnelling down the more expensive route ........

Or you are in agreement, with the reasons of refusals..........

Yea it does, you can email the recruiter directly with your CV. A lot of companies send out these openings in an email to their staff and they encourage people to apply.

Student visa is point based system

Get the required points, get your visa.

Ensure you declare the refusals too, Might (not) affect your SV application.

Switch to appropriate visa after his study.

consult an immigration lawyer too.

It will be easier and cheaper to get EUSs visa than student visa, providing evidence of sustaining marriage is not difficult.

Work on the reason(s) of refusal and reapply

Hi Elders, I got my visa last month so I stated applying for jobs in UK using my sister's address in UK on my cv while in naija. fortunately, I got a job with a good coy in UK but I got a mail today to furnish them with my addresses in the last 5 years. My sister told me to come straight because I am still in Nigeria and I won't be in UK till January 2023. I am really confused because the offer is good but I really do not want to be seen as a cheat or liar which will affect my future in uk.. please big bros and sis your advice is needed.

If you’ve booked your flight, put your arrival date to present on your UK address, e.g January 5th 2023 - Present. (10 Downing Street, SW10)
let the recruiter untangle it. If they’re unclear they’ll likely come back to you for further details.
