I thank you so much. I now understand what to do




heroshark:
ILR is 10years of legal residency, or 5years on a qualifying visa, so if you apply for PSW visa you will start counting towards the 10 years (1year on student visa + 2 years on PSW) that will be 3years, you will need another visa at the end of the psw to qualify for ILR in 10years.
Alternatively, you can apply for spousal visa which is 5years to ILR or Skill worker visa which is also 5years to ILR and you can only start counting when you've gotten the visa.

Good afternoon to you. I am here again ooh

I wanted to asked if after applying for my postgraduate visa and getting married to my boyfriend (he’s English) by December,

1) when do I start counting for ILR?

2) After our court wedding will he need to inform the government or I will be the one to do so?

3) Is there any application I’m expected to do after the marriage?

Another problem I have now is that my agency is even stressing they will stop me from picking shift soonest as my visa will be expiring by December. I plan on applying for my postgraduate visa two weeks to my visa expiration date🥹

Even my English boyfriend made some contact for me but they said to him that I need to secure a new visa before they can employ me.

I’m physically and mentally stress in this UK seriously.

Thank you

You can do court marriage in the Uk, the trad in Nigeria.

About rhe maternity, in most places you are entitled to maternity leave. The length and how many months are paid maternity leave will depend on the organisation

Good morning guys,

Do I have to go to Nigeria to marry my English boyfriend or we can just do a court marriage here and plan our trip to Nigeria for my traditional marriage? I’m on student visa and my visa finishes December this year and I will be applying for my postgraduate visa sometime in December too

One more thing he said if I have worked with any company for a year and I get pregnant they will give me maternity leave and will be paying me while on leave. I want to confirm from you people if this is true I thought this works only if one is working with NHS

Please I need answers as I want to put all my energy in getting a job (not agency) and work with them for a year before considering getting pregnant so I can benefit from the maternity leave

Thank you guys
