Like Lexus stated, as it's mostly used as taxi, it signifies reliability and comparatively cheap maintenance. However, it is not advisable to purchase used EV/hybrid except you can guarantee the battery's health.

I can buy a 2010 petrol/diesel car now and use it for another 10 years if I choose to. But for an EV/hybrid especially the plug in hybrid, once the battery has passed it's life span, it can be very expensive to replace.

If the battery dies you can stay on the petrol Engine since it ia Hybrid?

Lexusgs430:


Wrong.......
Hybrids don't have a starter motor, hence vehicle starts with the hybrid system........ Once the hybrid is kaput, replace hybrid battery or scrap vehicle......... 🤣😜

Yup, well earning professionals who could have afforded a UK based nanny but instead jeopardised their careers and freedom.

Hopefully this serves as a further warning to people who still think they can exploit bring over someone from Nigeria. Those people from Nigeria are much sharper now.

That's not always the true story...... The nanny in most cases, would set her employers up very nicely..........

Hello all, please I have a few urgent questions.

I want to invite my mum over as I would be giving birth in a few months, I am the one sponsoring her.
I have been hearing different information on how many months POF is needed
Some just said one month is okay, I was thinking of doing three months. Is that okay?

Secondly how much POF do I need to have in my account, is £5k okay?

Lastly, I’m sponsoring her but she also has a running business (a bakery) that we intend to use has home ties along with my dad and little sister being in Nigeria. Would she need to also show her account statement, if yes, how much should she have?

Their people would suffer more if they lose their world power status, so many people (incl. Russia, China esp.) want to see the USA subdued. The USA remains a world power militarily, and they already returning their productions' base from Asia back to home.

If you are sponsoring a working class/business owner, the person needs to prove financial independence. She needs her account statement. The balance will depend on how much she states that she earns monthly/annually. It should be reflective.

How do you mean PoF? For bank statement you just need to show the recent balance so it could be one month. For payslips, 3 months is advisable.

Is there any reason why you would not like to present 3 months payslip? We can thrash it.

Adunnishugar:






Thank you,
She was refused last year, in that application she used an agent that stated she earns 1.5m monthly, which I think is too much, can we reduce the figure for this application? Or must we use the same figures we gave last time?

In this new application we are thinking of reducing her salary to about 800k as it makes more sense since her Account balance is about 3m.
Hope this would not be an issue?
For more context she own a bakery.

No I don’t mind showing my three months payslip, I intend to show three months payslip along with my bank statement.

All IC Engines have a starter motor to turn the fly wheel..Unless you are talking EVs, but Hybrids have starter motors, how this is powered is a wee different from the traditional IC Engines' can do the research do not take my word for it

They just need one person in African store or church to gossip with. Once the person wispers "if you report, you will get ILR" that's it 😀😀

Lexusgs430:


Someone I personally know brought a lady from Nigeria, he even encouraged me to do same(me wey be street boy, I refused).......

After the church, African store whisper enter the nanny head finish, she pulled a fast one on them.......

The case went on for almost 13 month's, after all said and done........


Husband was sentenced to 36 months, wife chop 45 months sentence..........

NB: If you love your sanity and freedom, don't ever think of importing a Nigerian nanny...... 🙄😂

Goodenoch:


Thing is - you're framing this as the 'nannies' are turning against the people who brought them over maliciously because they want to get ILR or because they've been whispered to, but the obvious question is whether those people were treating them fairly and in line with the law.

There's a minimum wage, and there are guidelines on worker conditions. Even failing to pay minimum wage won't generally result in the kinds of sentences in your example, so there must have been serious aggravating factors like those described in the article about the GPs - seizing passport, verbal and physical abuse etc.

People who know they can pay childminders, they can hire au pairs, and they can take there children to nursery, but want to import people (other than family who are knowingly coming to assist like grandparents) know what they are doing, and the focus should be on them rather than implying that the nannies trying to escape their yokes are doing something bad.

Poanan:


My relative invited his mum. He fully sponsored the trip. The money in the mother's bank statement was not much. He used six minths bank statement and payslips. He explained that the mum depends on my cousins and him for her monthly upkeep and doesnt earn anything again. The cover letter was "well" written with emotions sef. He earns extremely well but i dont know how much he used to sponsor cos his actions during those visa application times were deliberate at guiding the exact amount he earns and his bank statement lol.

The government has to strike a balance that also takes into consideration affordability for UK students, especially those from middle and working class backgrounds. If universities were allowed to charge what they wanted, with no cap in place, it would very quickly become unattainable for the majority from the above backgrounds, or become like the US where many are shackled by student loan debt for most of their working lives.

Before the Tories came into power, university fees were paid by the government and many students paid little to nothing. So to go from that to graduating with c30k student debt is already seen as unfair.

BeckyB1:
Greetings Everyone. Please is it possible to get a room in a shared apartment around Lewisham or towards Croydon for £500?
I urgently need a room please 🙏🏽

jedisco:


In a country with an and increasingly narrow fiscal headroom. Someone has to pay for every largesse.

As it unfolds, certain things have become obvious.

1. Fees from international student form an important part of universities revenue. More importantly- about the only pie they have significant control over.

2. There are a limited number of folks out there willing to stand on the 'student mill', hand over thousands of pounds, receive insults while at it and be chucked out at the other end with only a piece of paper and no reasonable pathway to stay.

Many govt regulated rates minimum wage, utility bills, transport fees move up yearly sometimes with inflation. The increasing expenditure of unis would ultimately have to be borne by someone. Its either one or a mix of govt increasing funding, unis increase efficiency/cut down massively or unis look for funding elsewhere.

Or maybe both the UK government and universities should take lessons from their European neighbours , such as Germany , where tuition fees are free or very heavily subsidised for their citizens.
