What I know is that some if not all will not sponsor until your current visa is about to end.

But I don’t know the answer to if they will sponsor you or not, but if they told you that you will be sponsored then, they will towards the end of your visa, but just double check with them especially from HR, if they will be able to sponsor you, better to confirm via mail.

Boss on d Amazon site....I saw 3 options for warehouse 1) warehouse operative 2) sortation operative 3) fresh warehouse team member.

I'm guessing I fall into the 3 category...right?

Amazon have 80 hrs minimum per month which make me (a student) quality.

Modified.....I've applied already...hopefully, it'll turn out fine

Hello everyone,
Please I need advice.
I'm in a situation and i need advice on how to opt out.
So my uncle wife took advantage of my wife because of too much respect. (wifey bleeped up big time). We recently moved close to them because she's the one who helped us with COS. She recommended a cooking pot (salad master) as we needed to set up the house and kitchen, but i declined immediately after i heard the price (4200 pound DD payment for 4years for 5pcs set.)
During the chat, i discovered she'll get about 500quid referral and thats why she's desperate for us to buy it. The discussion happend about 3 other times and my response was no. My uncle got involved at a point and he also supported her wife because that's what they use too but i insisted. Then she turned to my wife and start to convince her but we'd already discussed and it was a NO.
Fast forward to a month after, my wife was in their house sleeping, she then woke her up only for her to see the pot has been supplied, and they were already cooking with it for her induction and to use it. In the prescense of the supplier, my wife tried telling her we've already discussed this many times and we were not interested but she cut her and told her since they were already cooking with it, we cant opt out. She couldnt call me because she wasn't with her phone. She ensured all the paper works was done and DD was set before she let her near her phone. My wife has so much regard for her and that's why she couldn't say NO. Too much respect...

I got to know that day and i got mad at her, how can you let her lure you into a 4k financial engagement despite several discussions, she just dey cry and she was preggy....

I immediately told her to come take the pot but the supplier said no way, DD has been set and there's no going back)(dey don plan am.)
Bleep up i did was, i should've rang the company directly but i just gave up because i dont want issues between me and egbon.
Now, COS no get shift, there's no work in cardiff at all and all the load is on me. DD is 94quid per month and it's choking.

Here is my question, is there anything i can do to opt out legally? we're 6 months into the contract and it feels like forever, i dont mind losing 1k just to opt out, but i dont wanna do this no more... We can't afford with the all the bills and expenses we already have.

It's tiring...
I look forward to ya'lls suggestions

Nope. I have cancelled several dds for good reasons. … And once the company comes back to me, we take it from there. They can not force the payment from one’s bank account.
Nothing has gone to any records. Pls let’s stop fear mongering.

CowbellY:


Not fear mongering. I have cancelled certain DD as well. But not all are without effect. I know a lad who cancelled his Vodafone DD because he felt they over charged him for a month. It’s gone as a missed payment on his record and takes 18 months to clear.

That’s my advice.

Well to the outside world, Nigeria is a product of Nigerians. You'd not be seen as a special breed from Nigerian. Worth bearing that in mind.

Schoolhike:


Try this again, make sure you document, probably community via email if possible.

( Speak to the Company Directly. While they might not be legally obliged to allow you to cancel, they might be sympathetic to your situation, especially if you're experiencing financial difficulties.

Thoroughly review the contract to understand the terms of cancellation. There might be a provision that allows for early termination with a penalty fee. This could be more manageable than continuing the monthly payments.

As mentioned earlier, if the company isn't helpful, consider reaching out to the Financial Ombudsman Service. They can assist in situations where consumers feel they've been treated unfairly. Explaining the circumstances surrounding your wife's decision may prompt them to investigate further.

It's important to seek legal advice before taking any action. An attorney with experience in contract law will be able to provide guidance on the viability of this argument in a legal setting. The concept of "duress" in contract law generally refers to situations where someone is forced or threatened into agreeing to a contract. The attorney will evaluate if your wife's circumstances can be categorized as such.)



Lastly, my advice,

(First and foremost, I want to acknowledge how challenging this situation must be for both of you, and it's entirely natural to feel a mix of emotions. I understand your frustration and the strain this puts on your finances, especially at such a crucial time with the baby on the way.

However, I'd advise you to approach this with a calm mindset. It's essential to remember that everyone, including ourselves, can sometimes find themselves in tricky situations due to unforeseen circumstances or decisions made under pressure. This could have happened to anyone, even you, in a different form or manner.

I understand the weight of the situation, but turning things bitter or difficult for your wife isn't the solution. She's currently carrying your child and needs your support and understanding more than ever. You both are partners, and this is a hurdle you'll need to cross together.

In times like these, I believe in seeking guidance through prayer. While situations may appear bleak now, life has a way of presenting solutions when we least expect them. We've all faced various challenges before, and looking back, we see they've become a part of our growth story. Similarly, this too shall pass.

Imagine if you were in her shoes, having made an unintentional error. How would you hope she'd react? It's a chance for compassion, understanding, and support. Life often tests our strength and patience in ways we don't anticipate.

I genuinely hope you both can find a middle ground and a solution that works best for your family. Remember, time has a unique way of healing wounds and making things better. Stay strong and united, especially now. I pray that God guides you both during this time and makes the path ahead smoother for you.

Take care and be there for each other.

AgentXxx:
Quick Question: I was having a talk with a friend when he said that Some one on a 3 or 5 years skilled worker visa can be paying for the IHS yearly for his/her dependents instead of paying it at once during application. Please Elders is this true?

igbsam:
Why na asians dey always run scam calls for this UK ?

koonbey:


Except the dependent is applying yearly, no.

You pay IHS in full and upfront for the duration of the visa applied for.

AgentXxx:
You mean the dependents will have to be paying for visa application and the IHS yearly?

koonbey:


If the dependents apply for 5 year visa, they pay 5 years' IHS at the point of application - no way around that.

If they apply for 1 year visa, they pay 1 year IHS, and they can then apply for 1 year later and pay 1 year NHS again and so on and so forth. Obviously the cost of the visa applications will defeat the purpose but it's technically possible.

AgentXxx:
Thanks for this enlightenment, didn't know it was possible. The reason for such is basically due to lack of funds to pay for 3 to 5years IHS fee once and not to reduce cost.

koonbey:


Just to be clear, you will be paying the full application fee each time, in addition to the IHS fee.
