No you do not have to be core tech. You can be in the business or commercial side of tech or even marketing I think the key requirement is that you work in tech and can show evidence of talent and impact in your field. For example, if you are a tech sales person, you would not need to be a core tech person but have made impact commercially to the growth of tech. In which case you will need to provide evidence of revenue growth and other business related evidence. As a founder, these circled bits may apply to you I have attached examples of tech and non-tech skills that may be eligible. See if that helps eniola1010: 5 Likes 1 Share

Ok. Sorry if I missed it, but you can leave your question here. I am a GTV (Exceptional Talent) holder. I think some of the requirements are the same, but I may be unable to answer any engineering-related questions. I'm happy to give it a shot gergemam: |

Also depends on what you do or what kind of Job you're looking for. I live in Sheffield but the area I live is less "diverse". I work fully remotely (by choice) so that means I can work for an organisation located anywhere. I don't think there's a one-size-fits all conclusion. It just depends on one's individual skill and situation giselle237: 1 Like |

Travel / Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by chidaroy(f): 10:19am On Aug 18, 2019 |
Getting a visa is always feasible if you make your case - through your application About what you need, your sponsor will need to provide proof of sponsorship (one that is enough to convince the ECO that you will return to Nigeria). This can include a letter of sponsorship, their identification, proof of status in the UK, proof of fund, etc. People do not respond to all questions because some questions are similar to ones asked previously by other users. Soemtimes you just need to read through the thread and you'd find your answer. I hope this helps. Biritiko: |

I think you'd be better off if you paid the fees (at least first semester) before applying for the visa. VOs look out for the school's admission conditions and payment deadlines. If you haven't paid the fees by the time you apply and that falls within the deadline, it may create a different impression with the VO #mytwocents kemmyk: 1 Like |

There's a Google Partner that is not very popular but they do a really good job with Small businesses. Its a Digital Marketing Agency called Chebani Group - www.chebanigroup.com. My former employer once used them and they haven't used any other agency since then. I am considering bringing them into my new place as well. |

Ok so I know lots of the people here are used to the different turn my response usually takes I like to look at things from different sides but today I will just answer your question by telling you my story. My husband and I had our wedding at the end of February this year (note... I am married on an ijebu man. Their party no be here). We were the major sponsors of the event and I was already six months gone then. In march(few days after we returned from our honeymoon), our house was involved in a fire accident that engulfed 90% of the property in one side of the house +wedding gifts. (newly weds who have just come out from a major expense, we had to renovate the house and replace all the properties). Then I came to the US in April (notice the closeness) to have our baby. Now that I have given you that summary, it will help you relate with my story. When I found out I was pregnant, I had no concrete intention of having the baby in the US but somehow I jokingly mentioned it to my husband and he bought into it. When I got a visa in January, I still wasn't sure that I wanted to have the baby abroad but as days past, I kept going deeper and deeper into research and findings. The more events unfold, the more reasons we had to give up on the idea and just like you, if I had my baby in Nigeria, I will pay zero. One day, I sat down and did the maths,.... If it cost 4 million to have a baby in the US today, when he grows up and decides to school in the US or Canada, the average school fee per session for international students will be more than 4 million more than what a citizen should pay per session. (considering that exchange rate might ever go down). So I would have spent 4 million today to save say 20 million or more tomorrow. That was my math. I decided to stick to it even when my husband and I almost couldn't afford it. Somehow we agreed to each contribute 50% each of the total cost(it's easier when you have a supportive spouse). I didn't know there was something more God had planned. On arriving here, I had my first doctors appointment. After the doctor looked at my report and all, he immediately recommended that I go for a scan urgently but because I was too in a hurry to go home that day, I decided to have the scan the next day. On getting home, I noticed that I started bleeding (it's my first baby, I have zero experience and the first thought that came to my head was miscarriage). Still amidst the panic, I ran back to the hospital only to be subjected to a comprehensive scan. After all the equipments were deployed, I heard for the first time that I had a case of Placenta Previa(Google it). Note: I was 36 weeks gone at this time and it was the first time ever I was hearing that. I was made to believe by my doctor in Nigeria that I was going to have a normal delivery till I got here. A patient with placenta previa cannot have a normal vd except the case corrects. Hence, attempting to have a normal delivery in Nigeria would cost the mother or child or both lives. So to answer your question, if I finally decided to have my baby in Nigeria and experienced that bleeding, the doctor would have thought I was going into labour. He would have induced me and that might have been it for my child and (or) me. So are you still asking someone like me what the benefit of having my baby here is? Even if I have to slave all my life, I have made a solemn decision not to have any other child in Nigeria (so help me God). If the only thing God helped me achieve through this trip was to get medical care(lots of people under look the importance of that),then I wouldn't mind if the next one costs 20 million naira. Still in doubt? I don't expect you to be. It's not just what you achieve for your child but what you achieve for yourself. bachangel: 34 Likes |
