gmacnoms:Man! It’s so wild that he keeps standing on that point, like he’s determined not to give it any thought as long as he gets to jest, condescend and even imply that the lady is lying. It’s really amazing to me but I guess that’s what happens when your struggles become memory and you begin to think your current status is due to some skill (in this case, planning) you have that others less fortunate do not. |
dustydee:You really mean that four years ago you expected 1 GBP to be 1,900 Naira? Knowing the rate would be unstable and anticipating the utter wrecking of the Naira’s value in the past few years are the same thing to you? To the point that you think the lady and her family didn’t plan properly? Lol. Okay o. |
EzekielBams:Yes. There's nothing special there - people do it all the time. If their circumstances change and they can't onboard you again they'll also tell you by email. I've done it before when I got a more senior (and much better paying role) after having signed the offer letter, done ID check, met the team virtually was just waiting to resume. I didn't enjoy it but a man must do what a man must do, and it's a business thing after all... The only risk is if you want to apply to them again in the future and they're still angry at you but there's nothing else. Since you didn't work with them, they won't ever be asked for a reference or even reflect in anything concerning you. The profile they've set up is internal, and they'll simply delete it along with other records relating to you. |
hustla:Take out the payment reference number (it starts with X and will be at the top of your simple assessment letter) and then search for 'pay HMRC' simple assessment on Google, click the page and then select to pay without logging in. You'll enter your reference number and personal details and then be able to pay, although it's a bit finicky about which card you can pay with. I had the same issue and had been postponing calling them until I saw your question and Tier4Dependant's reply to you. Paid within 3 minutes and got confirmation to my email immediately. |
Lexusgs430:Tell us please; as a 20-year old like her, what would you have done to ‘ensure your funding is guaranteed’ other than relying on her family as she did? |
Lexusgs430:I don’t think this blanket assumption that every student facing financial difficulty failed to plan or somehow tried to cut corners is fair or logical. Of course it’s accurate in many people’s cases but taking random news like this and laughing about them on the assumption that they caused the problem they’re in surely isn’t right. |
Raalsalghul:This has nothing to do with black people or Nigerians. People argue nonsense and allow their egos push them into d**k measuring contests all the time whether that’s based on income or other things. It’s definitely a human thing and not racial. If you constantly come across this among black people you interact with, it’s a reflection of your circle and not a valid basis to generalize. |

Lexusgs430:I was going to say this but was hesitant so that the 'you are making people afraid' brigade will not stress me on a weekend. How do you go to Youtube to copy answers for how to make your own insurance application? Are you and the YouTuber in the same circumstances? I think people don't realise that there are people (claims adjusters) employed by insurance companies whose primary job is to avoid or minimise payouts, and while they'll let you enter whatever you like on the application, it's when it's time for a claim that they'll scrutinise it to see what they can use to void your cover. |
Ukliving:https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/aDEMOahqbo?XL=MIANS Amex is the most liberal for immigrants in my experience. |
heroshark:'Six' and 'half a dozen'. Other than the terminology on the website, what are the differences in the process? |
Georgiedey:Changing employers requires applying for a new visa, so they will send you a new BRP as with any other visa. It usually arrives in 2 - 3 working days in my experience. Check the email with the visa approval - the details should be there. |
harddrive2012:Scam. Search for ‘prepaid job scam’. |
EzekielBams:She should tell him to take the legal action he wants to take. Insofar as the transfer to the new tenants was done with his knowledge and consent (and he even received consideration - the forfeited deposit), the contract between your sister and the landlord is terminated and she has no business talking with him about the house at all. |
Jamesclooney:Okay. This is good. You should get it and submit it. I believe 30-odd quid is a very small amount for the potential premiums savings you'll get with a 13 year NCD. |
Jamesclooney:Do you have a link to the FRSC website or any other official communication where this document is discussed? Something to the police character certificate, passport, etc? I haven't said it's forgery. It's you who's seeing allegations of forgery everywhere and I can only wonder why. |
Jamesclooney:From your OP: "I know someone who’s asking for 65k to prepare the authentication and record document from FRSC." 1. The questions are: Is this 'authentication and record document' listed anywhere on the FRSC website or in any official communication from the commission? 2. Are you going to be applying for and obtaining this document from the FRSC directly? Will you be obtaining FRSC receipts and other documentation from this person? These points are important because even if you scale though the mostly automated signup process and get a policy but insurance claims adjusters challenge your NCD when you need to make a claim here in the UK, you'll need to prove it beyond saying 'somebody on Nairaland said...' The answers to those questions should indicate why the person you quoted said what they said, and I daresay, they'll also give you the overall answer to your question. |
Hopefullllll:Yes there was an HMRC lawyers (G7 grade if I recall correctly) role open recently that stated this explicitly but some others don't. For instance there's a Government Legal Department one open now for 'qualified lawyers' but I know someone who got in as a Nigerian lawyer and is now working on qualifying here via the SQE. You can apply for that one, and just keep searching the civil service jobs website for 'lawyer' and related keywords, and keep an eye on the results. |
3greatnations:They can apply for civil service roles covering legal (many employ you with your Nigerian LLB/BL and give ~two years to convert), compliance, GRC etc. It's mostly dependent on what their prior experience is. |
adekzy:You are right. |
missjekyll:No. The answer to the question is yes only if he is definite he is going to still be with the company in 2 years. The question is about sponsorship from that specific company and role. |
humbleprof19:What visa are you on? If it's PSW or any other where you wouldn't need their sponsorship to start and for like a year, I would answer 'no'. Edit: just saw that it's PSW. Definitely answer 'no'. Many companies use that question to screen people out so answering yes might mean you don't progress to interview at all. It's not lying either, because you have two years and you've not said you want to be with them or even in the UK after then. The key thing is to get to the interview. Once you're in the role, it'll be much more straightforward to get them to sponsor or to find a role that'll sponsor you after getting experience in your first year or so. I've seen both happen with quite a few people. |
elengine:Ok |
missjekyll:Lol. Two things: 1. I wasn't impolite. I responded and gave actionable advice. I even suggested keywords instead of just saying 'go to Google'. 2. If they follow my advice, they'd get where they need to be in two clicks. Yours would take three, and involve more time and uncertainty. Your being sanctimonious to me might feel good, but it's actually not helpful if you don't prompt people to learn how to sort basic things out. Think: Will they come on Nairaland every time they want to apply for something in the UK? In asking people for such things, won't they be at risk of being given false information when they could simply do basic research and find the info they need? |
lightofjoy:Literally search Google for "health and care visa application", oga. |
cbn4main:Doesn't matter. Continue using the cards responsibly and ignore the 'scores' on those websites. They're irrelevant to any credit application. It's your history of using credit responsibly that matters, and one year is certainly not enough to begin panicking. What you need to keep track of is factors like hard searches, your presence on the electoral register, etc. A stellar credit profile will come naturally over time. |
Iruobe1987:Will likely be earlier. Maybe even January. The ones where they're planning for spring, they specifically said so, so one can imply this is not one of those. Plus, 2024 is an election year and this is a hot topic where the government is facing lots of pressure from the public and inside parliament to take drastic action. |
hustla:Exceptions don't invalidate general rules. By this your logic universities should not award grades because it's possible some of the students doing badly have mental breakdowns. Same thing at work - no performance reviews because mental breakdown. Does that make sense to you? More to the point, it's clear that the policy is just in idea stage and hasn't been fleshed out yet. I know that in the current dispensation people have the opportunity to appeal every decision both at the uni level and also when it comes to dealing with the Home Office, showing mitigating circumstances etc., so I'd expect similar provisions here. |
hustla:No. It makes sense. First, it's in the country's overall interests to ensure people do well in their universities because graduate outcomes affect the ranking of the universities which in turn affects the reputation of the general education sector and thereby impacts the economy and other aspects as well. Also, from an immigration perspective, it makes sense for the country to want to ensure that only 'high quality' graduates are retained in the economy so they can get a better ROI from each person who's let in as they'll be better educated and can thereby contribute more via work, innovation etc etc. Cynical? Yes, but logical. In addition, it makes sense for the students because it'll discourage some unis that are essentially degree farms where there's little concern about how students perform as long as they come pay the fees. Some of those unis are really only selling CAS, in my opinion, but that's a topic for another day. It shouldn't be a problem for most though - after all it has been agreed that Nigeria is sending its 'best and brightest'. I'm sure they'll all make distinctions and graduate in flying colours, policy or no policy. Abi? |
hammed71:Nigeria, where there's no racism and there are only low taxes, and no drastic policy changes or IHS fees to be paid. |
bigtt76:They usually go around asking everyone, or on some services they simply don’t ask anyone. I used the train A LOT until very recently and I have been asked to show my railcard by a variety of people, with the vast majority being white. The one time I had an issue with loading up the app, the black rail guy just told me to get it sorted because I’d likely be asked when exiting the station I was getting off at. What does that prove though? Nothing. The plural of anecdote is anecdotes, not evidence. Attempting to extrapolate individual experiences to cast a group of people as having any particular character (whether positive or negative) always leads to nothing but prejudice. |
hustla:It’s not correct. ILR eligibility is calculated based on time that a person has worked in the UK, and their salary over the period and at the time of application. Number of employers is irrelevant. https://www.gov.uk/indefinite-leave-to-remain-tier-2-t2-skilled-worker-visa |
