Your friend is being used as a money mule. The money being transferred could be proceeds from criminal dealings or as a ploy to conceal proceeds from HRMC. With time your friend's bank would call him to confirm source of fund. He should be very careful.

Mainly those who are in very high demand in other countries such as doctors and registered nurses.
Most will suck it up and reason that it's only 3 years more.

I don't think it will affect those who are already on the system. Like the student dependents ban, it might take effect from future applications. In my opinion, I don't think it's worth it. One primary reason many choose to migrate to the UK over other western countries is because of its easier to do so. Tightening their immigration policy may see people shifting their focus. Currently, Europe and the UK has an increasing aging population which necessitates the demand for more skilled professionals. While other countries are looking to attract the best brains, the UK is looking for ways to eat their cake and have it. Australia has added additional 2 years to post study visa making it 4 years depending on qualifications and students are allowed to bring dependents. Newzeland has introduced the healthcare assistants route. The USA is granting over stayers a new type of visa route so they can work legally in the USA. But children of immigrant parents are doing everything to stop legal and skilled migration.

It's their country, their rules. But like Brexit, they will come up again and look for who to blame for the insufficient workforce admits a declining working population.

Good afternoon House.
please I need the best of advice/ideas to solving this problem before someone does what he no suppose.
An ex patient or service user raised a sexual complaint against her previous carer since last year August and he has been suspended from work ever since. We first thought it would be over soon that its just to do investigation and come up with findings which will either proof guilt or innocence. But loo and behold up till now the issue is still on the table. The last action that sparked outrage was during one session he was asked some questions in which he mentioned hes schooling in a university, so they now went ahead to write the Uni to inform them hes under investigation so the uni asked him to stay away until he is cleared. I cant stomach this injustice anymore. Please how does someone fight this kind of battle. It took months for the details of the so called offence that led to safeguard was even known o. the police have been invited and they couldnt find any evidence of misbehavior. Yet these people are hell bent in destroying a mans life. the only thing was that the girl was given a lift and the discussion was going intimate and he claimed he stopped it and dropped her off at the hospital and went his way. that very week wahala started and up till now na on top of the matter we still dey. No work since last year and the small consolation traing hes trying to do they blocked it without any formal conviction. this BS has to stop.

Please any great advice will be welcomed
Thanks.

Giving a patient a lift and having a discussion that's intimate is already sexual harassment. Stay away from women, you guys never learn.

A Quick Question to the Financial Gurus: A friend of mine whose father’s friends has a company in Uk have recently been sending about 10k to 20k£ monthly to his Personal Uk account (from his company’s account) which he changes via lemonade or sometimes sells to students for school fee payment/visa/IHS and then eventually send the equivalent in naira to Nigeria. He wants to know if he will be liable on tax on such money.

Your friend is a money mule. He go soon chop cifas marker. That's when the real trouble starts.

Your friend need not visit Nigeria because of a divorce case, particularly when you say it is uncontested, his lawyer could file applications in court allowing him to present his fact to the Nigerian through an oath endosed by a notary public or commissioner of oath here, moreso, his divorce could be initiated here if all parties are present, but ghe cost might be heavy.

CowbellY:


He has to go to Nigeria to get a divorce. Anyway these aren’t straight forward either. My friend is in a similar situ and the divorce has been in court for 2 years now. Nigeria courts would frustrate you. This is an uncontested divorce btw. And he has to be physically present at every hearing. In March he travelled to Nigeria and the court didn’t even seat anymore.

Not fair. He’s been unable to move on with his life as well.

Hi,

No I started my ACCA back in Nigeria. Yes it's quite expensive.

I'm a lady once again.

harddrive2012:
Hello bro, I’m also considering getting chartered. Though I Started ICAN in Nigeria and still in Skills with 2 papers left.
May I ask if you started your ACCA in UK?
I have checked the fee online and it looks much 😂.
Would you advise I continue my ICAN in UK and probably convert to ACCA later using my ICAN. Or make I just close eyes start ACCA here from the foundation level for those with Bsc. Accounting.

Thanks

Nigerian men will keep entering soup until they learn to keep sexual, intimate or romantic thoughts to themselves. The mere fact he spoke to her intimately is sexual harassment.

You people never learn. Why did he give her a lift? Is he a Taxi driver? If you had followed the #MeToo events more than four years ago, you would've known that you should have nothing to do with a woman you're not dating/married to in a secluded place. In fact, you should be afraid of being in a secluded place that has no CCTV with a woman.

You people never learn...

Firstly, you need to understand that the bolded is "sexual harassment". Any other investigations was/is to get more details or check if there was more to that event.

Secondly, it seems you or the person involved has even talked too much and implicated himself the more.

Please talk to a Lawyer.

Apart from the UK, Germany and maybe France, becoming a naturalized citizen in most developed countries in the EU is getting tougher and stricter. Rules are being changed. So the options are limited. Australia and Canada are the better options. Except through marriage, the US doesn't have a straightforward path to being a naturalised citizen. As for the proposed change of rule in the US, just hope the Republican Party doesn't win next year. They will change everything.

Thank you! I don't want to talk too much cos I've already been called Suellalet 😂😂 but people need to be realistic. They talk like it's so easy to get into Australia or the US or even Canada now. Many are here because they couldn't get into these countries. The care route that has allowed thousands to come in, is there an equivalent open and accessible route in these places?

Some countries might be a bit easier but then there might be a language barrier and other factors. There is a lot of global competition with millions wanting to emigrate to better lands. The very highly skilled/in demand will fare well, but otherwise most people may complain but will suck it up because reality is there are not that many options.

I agree with you, the UK is actually one of the easiest countries to get into and it’s just wishful thinking to assume that others would go elsewhere. If people can do HA jobs for 5 years, what’s 3 years extra. E sure me sef say some of the people on this thread dey on that 10 year route for this UK. In the end, we go still dey alright.

True, of course, people who don't have options will have to remain regardless. Not like there's a choice.

But I was zooming on those who have in-demand skills like Doctors, Nurses, Tech folks, etc. These are also the folks the UK is interested in. The UK was indeed a good option for these guys because of the easy entry routes but that was it. The Salary is low, the weather isn't so good, houses are small, limited and expensive and it takes so long to become a permanent resident. Moving it to 8 years makes other options more desirable.

Permanent Residence is an important deciding factor and even though many Countries may not offer Citizenship easily, they ensure the Skilled Immigrants are settled with at least PR. UK is considering moving requirement to the same PR to 8 years continous stay.

Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand, Ireland are English-speaking Countries that come to mind. France, Germany, Poland, etc are there but have the language barrier.

Don't mind them, until one enters USA before they realize there many other paths to greencard. Even if its 10 years, its better than 8 years of micromanaging life fto even add that there is vast difference in middle class household disposable earnings in Aus & U.S in comparison to the UK.
