Many of them actually know next to nothing about Africa. While on placement, one young carer asked if he would have to cross a boat to get to Africa. It didn't stop there ooo, I kept being hounded by questions about monkeys and if we had fruits and nice things in Africa. I kept answering until I literally got exasperated...Like how wouldn’t you even know? I have also been in a class where some students didn't know that Africa is a continent of several countries...I can go on and on ooo...Lol

I honestly believe that the educational system here needs to do better. They know more other continents than ours. The media also does not help in it's negative portrayal of Africa.

Sorry for the long post biko...This matter don dey vex me since

Please I need a link to evaluate my degree to applying Naric certificate.

pheranmie:
Thanks for this .
Unfortunately my class of degree is third class (the unserious type back in uni) always hustling for money. I felt bad as I feel I wished I had done it better. Well live goes on .

I agree, specialists like the above are far fewer in the UK. My last project was for a large UK insurance company and most of the hard core techie roles were outsourced to Indians. But management type and non/soft tech positions - they had no problems filling those in house.

Looking at the skills I have and what I have taken time to develop is business. I studied chemical engineering while I was in Nigeria but I didn’t practice so I gathered up and opened a gadget store. Though the Health line is also what I love back in those jamb days. Infact I choose a science course but you know naija na they went ahead and give me chemical engineering.so advice me as a pro boss which of the areas do you tink it’s best for me even if it’s will make me do some online courses I wouldn’t mind.

I’d have to disagree though. Anyone can get sponsored regardless of their role/title. To be honest, It’s really not tricky, just be good at your job. Heck even Heavenly Desserts give their Assistant Managers visa sponsorship if required. I think this narrative is the reason why people are running to only one industry. Times have changed hun

Edited to include an old email I received from a recruiter from one of the banks here, for a Project Management role.

Zahra29:
In *theory* yes, any role can be sponsored. But in practice, some roles are much easier to sponsor than others. A *good* cyber security practitioner would gain sponsorship easier/faster than a *good* IT project manager.

pheranmie:
My wife is the one schooling and what is this graduate visa you are talking about ?are you talking about post study? What other sector offer sponsorship I will like to know the details as I only of care and support living for now. Thanks for the concern. To hear this self I feel better and loved .God bless you

hustla:
Well, thats also true. but. do. you now go about showing every tom, dick and harry how Africa / Nigeria truly is? LOL

hustla:
LOL

I believe they ask intentionally foolish questions. They literally have the internet on their mobile phones

triplo3:
Over 10 working days and no BRP sent via post. Plus no email saying they will send it. Called UKVI today and they said I won't get a new BRP, because I used the app during my application, so my picture was captured etc. Please does anyone have this experience of updating their visa from student to skilled worker dependent visa and then no new BRP? Instead just a status update online. Can I travel out and return to UK without a valid BRP? Thanks ahead

triplo3:
See the email I got from Home Office (Decision mail) attached.

Please why am I the first person being told to rely on Gov website to proof my status. Never heard of it from family and friends or on the forum.

Can anyone please confirm if they've been in my shoes please?

I'm about to book the foreign trip, I don't want issues having to return back to UK.

Thanks ahead.

Quick one please, when you apply for your PSW or Tier 2. What start date would reflect on it? The date of the application or the date it was approved?

He not only cornered the donated resources but he has also refused to bring out his own money. Datti has already spent beyond his capabilities. Soon the media will pick up on the information I've revealed

Schoolhike:
Thank you all for all your candid comments and contributions.

The University has sent the CAS to apply for graduate visa(psw) few hours ago.

This forum has always been helpful with comments, contribution and advice.

Hello house, please I need advice about my expiring visa.

My wife had a resit and she just recently passed the module. But the issue is the school is yet to add the score to her transcript which could be used to apply for graduate visa stating that it is subject to the approval of the School Board Of Examiners and External Examiners which will comes up in January.

Our visa is expiring by jan 9 2023.

I got a job in a care home 3 months stating that they will sponsor me before the end of my visa but I was disappointed last week only to the told that the information from the headquarter that people will only be eligible for sponsorship after spending 6 months with the company.

Now we are in a tight situation whereby our visa is only 3 weeks left.

I need advice on what else I can do please.

Nanidiiii:
Thank you but she is not sure if she needs to upload her certificate from her masters in the UK for her proof of english language, COS and her tuberculosis certificate from when she first moved to the UK. Please house for those that have switched from student visa or graduate visa to tier 2 what documents did you have to upload or if you uploaded any at all.

Nanidiiii:
Thank you does she need to upload the COS or anything else as evidence?

Nanidiiii:
URGENT PLEASE

Hello Everyone please my sister is about to apply for her tier 2 visa inside the uk from graduate visa but she was issued a COS almost 2 months ago and it read that her start date was 11th of November 2022. She is worried that the application will be rejected because she is just applying now. The COS expires in January but she wants to apply now but is worried as her work start date has passed - she couldn't apply because she didn't have the complete money then but she has it now so wants to do it-one of our friends said it doesn't matter that as long as she applies before the COS expires she will be fine.

Also does she need to upload any information as evidence during the application like - the COS?

Is this true please because she is really worried because her current visa expires in 2 weeks and she doesnt want this one to be rejected.

You noticed it right? That is how they do - lampoon the white man yet siddon put in his country and possess his passport. Return home to the motherland? Mbanu! Let go of the white man's passport? For where!!!
