What are you saying? What is under benefits? Can’t you provide for the baby? You’re not entitled to Public fund and most benefits came from the government which directly a public fund. No go rat weiting go choke you oo. Ire

He was applying for trainee and got bumped up. I think he should endure. If it's a really good job, then it's worth it. My opinion.

My job took almost 4 long months from application to Day 1. But working there made it all worth it because it was my dream job. I understand the process can be a lot better but hopefully it pays off.

Thanks man. I will inform him

They will most likely be sent back to their home Country with a visa ban.

Not correct. I believe it's only the first 3 months, as long as they do not leave the country in this time. The parents are required to apply for a visa for the child within the 3 months. Below excerpt from NHS.uk:

Children born in the UK to those here lawfully for more than 6 months
If you give birth to a child in the UK, your child will be entitled to free NHS hospital treatment in England on the same basis as someone who's ordinarily resident up to 3 months of age, but only if they remain in the UK during that period.

You'll also need to meet one of these criteria:

you have a valid visa of more than 6 months and paid the surcharge for that visa
you have a valid visa of more than 6 months, but were exempt from paying the surcharge
you have a valid visa of more than 6 months, which you applied for prior to 6 April 2015

You should apply for a visa for your child during the 3-month period after your child's birth.

If required, you may have to pay the surcharge for your child. Failure to do so means you may be charged for NHS services provided for your child after the 3-month period.

They also knowingly paid for their cos which isn't legal, so they won't be viewed as victims in the same way as someone who was trafficked against their will or knowledge.

Services in the NHS is for only Citizens and Residents. A baby born here to immigrant parents has access for free for 3 months after which you either pay out of pocket, or get a visa fornthe baby.

The exceptions are some Emergency services that are for every person in the UK... Also, for minor cases, vaccinations, etc, most GPs won't bother charging. But such parents should pray the child doesn't need a surgery or treatment like hernia, the BILL would be heavy.

Before someone asks again, if you want your newborn to have access to the NHS without bills after 3 months:

- Get the Birth Certificate from your Council.
- Apply for NIN in your closest centre.
- Apply for a Nigerian Passport in London.
- Apply for a Dependant Visa for the child.

Unfortunately, these steps could take up to 4 months so the earlier you start, the better. Also the entire process would cost quite some Thousands of Pounds depending on the length of the Visa.

P.S.: Folks are saying you don't need a Passport and NIN so it makes it faster then cos that is the major delay.

thanks for the info.
Also to state, you dont need a passport to apply for the dependent visa/brp if they were born here. The birth certificate is sufficient.

I assume by "put under benefits" you mean claim child benefit? YES! Claiming child benefit is public fund

No, Asylum is not something you give as a form of compensation and it's not the duty of immigration officers or police to give jobs to immigrants. The license will be withdrawn, the visa canceled and the victims expected to leave the country with immediate effect.

You don’t need passport to apply for visa. The birth certificate will do
