...for what it is, and not what it should be. Well said. A dentist friend of mine was narrating how some patients refuse black doctors till now, as if na d doctor disease go kill.

R***SM and tri****sm sit deep in the human nature, nothing can take it away. It can only be managed. Michael Jackson tried to become white but he still wasn't accepted, so no matter the number of years spent here or ILR/citizen or whatever status, never forget who you are. It's their land, and rightly so.

The aim is to make the best of the opportunities here, and firmly understand your place while actively contributing to the development of the host country/community. That's a better way of seeing the symbiotic relationship.

- those already on a skilled worker route will not need to meet the new £38,700 threshold when extending their visas, changing sponsors or applying to settle, but they will be subject to the 25th percentile of earnings which is currently £29,000.

More details here:

Hello Zahra, could you expatiate on this? New skilled workers or graduate visa getting sponsorship.

Really strange decision.

It seems very much in favour of keeping skilled workers/Migrants as Healthcare professionals.

I'm on Post study visa now and it will take the grace of God to get 38k for a Tier2 job.

Hello guys,

My passport expires 16 May 2023 and I want to apply for PSW. Can I use my current passport or would I have to renew my passport to be able to apply for PSW?

Once she gets her COS, you can either apply with her or apply after she's gotten her visa.

@Fourcade I'm unable to send a PM to you. Please, I need some info about Cameroon

What would you like to know?

My partner and I have been together for 9months now. We are both students here in the UK and we will be done with our study this month. She will get her Tier2 Sponsorship soon(Health and Care).
We thought it's better for me to switch to her dependant and not apply for PSW.

What's the process of me becoming her dependant here. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have a friend who works with an agency. he's a 24hrs support worker. he has grown to be a hard worker to the client and the client loves the companionship and emotional support he offers. The wife of the client also loves him. They prefer him to the other support workers who work there.

Now the issue is, the wife wants her to be the main support worker along with one other worker she choses. They want to employ her directly and stop the agency from sending workers there.

The wife of the client isn't aware of her visa status as a tier 4 student. The agency has also promised her tier 2 sponsorship. There is so so much uncertainty about the tier 2 sponsorship.

This is a situation of not biting the hands that feed you. She doesn't want the client to withdraw from the agency and wants to also continue working for the agency. Her fear is that she may lose on both sides. Not getting the sponsorship and also losing the client.

What are her options? Is there any visa that she can apply for to work with the client directly? She's confused.

Allsmyles:
Please has anyone been debited by uba recently for Form A (maintenance)

No

When did you apply?

Thanks @emseven @justwise

justwise:
You can do that IF you used London address in your locator form

This is confusing. My flight stops at London. Then I plan getting a train to another town where I will isolate. That's the address I plan using on my passenger locator form.

What should I do?

LuchiBianca:
If he isn't fully vaccinated he has to self isolate until day 8 test result is out. In that case there is a probability that they may come check on him.

Can't a non fully vaccinated person take a train from London to another city for isolation?

@justwise

It is advisable to include your CV and employment reference with your visa application.
I only uploaded the current work reference and a cv that covers the study gaps.
It is more than 10days and I have not received any mail for additional documents.
infact I did a paid mail on application status, which I got a reply mail that confirmed decision has been made already.

Waiting for update and collection mail and trust God it is a testimony of Visa alert already.

Congrats

Do you mean 10 working days? Please when did you do your biometrics?...

tolajay:
Hi guys,

UK Visa office just sent me a mail requesting Police Clearance Certificate from the Republic of Benin because i schooled there years back.

For those that schooled outside Nigeria, were you asked to get police report from another country?

If so, how did you get the report, especially, the Republic of Benin?

Is this for Tier 4 application? Student Visa?

After paying IHS and Visa fee. You'd be taken to the TLS partner , you'd see where to upload documents

Is the transfer immediate? Can one log out and log back in to continue the process after paying ihs and visa fee

justwise:
Issuing country is the major prob here, if you live in Ghana or Cameron as a Nigerian and got your visa there you will be allowed to enter the UK without restriction. Even if its not written on the visa they still know where the application was made and other details

Look at the exemptions to see if your purpose of coming to the UK fails under that

So a uk student Visa issued in Nigeria can be used to travel from Cameroon. Cameroon isn't on the red list. Maybe a favorable option.

I used UBA over 8 days now, they are yet to debit the account.

I have the same experience. I applied last week Monday with UBA and I havent been debited.

Victoriajames94:
I got an unconditional offer too from Manchester metropolitan university; I have submitted my proof of funds , do you have idea how long it will take to get CAS . I submitted last week

Was POF requested from you?

There's a CAS toolkit you have to download and submit after paying your tuition deposit. Is that what you submitted last week.

Smyle81:

Hello could you help me with the list of documents specified in your CAS. Which documents are mentioned to show for MMU.

Thanks

ddee20150:
Pls Did the school give you account details or the flywire invoice was used in processing form A payment?

@manchester metropolitan

Send a mail to the email about payment enquiries. They will give you other options. Bank Transfer option and details on how to do the transfer has been made available to me.

Smyle81:
Form A was used thru Access Bank...it was done in 3days......!

Thanks. They later replied my mail showing other payment options.

Smyle81:
Their condition is based on the document you supplied when applying and it is very easy to meet them..e.g. evidence of chage if name etc.

It didn't take long. Less than a week.
