₦airaland Forum

STENON:
Yes true. You see why the indians are making it big in UK now than Naija people They are sharing all these information with all passers-by and new members so no one is left behind doing Cleaning jobs, tedious amazon job

No they are getting all the visa rules benefits because the British govt can trust them, Indians keep their dealings within their community,they are not lousy, or quick to show off their wealth, rather they invest it quietly and grow their investment.

We Nigerians? We abuse anything given opportunity.

STENON:
lols..Many fake VOs on nairaland but the truth is some things are rather experienced than read on nairaland
Do you remember when I came here to ask for rules pertaining to working as a Part time Teacher while on Student visa ? many people said no , not allowed and bla bla. If I had waited one month extra without taking action first Lockdown would have finished my life with 8-8 shift as Health Care Assistant

Only Doctor, nurses, sportsperson etc was mentioned on UKVI as been banned from working , none mentioned Teaching. I went for it and I am happy. "It takes risk to succeed in UK" is my Motto . Follow what is written in the UKVI law book and if what you want is not there, then it is not applicable to you

Justwise won't be happy with that motto

Aprokodaughter:
You are right but sometimes we still need to be careful and what we put out here because passerby and new members come here. So we dont damage this forum. This forum has been here for years let's not tarnish it.

In addition to the above post..

You keep snitching on yourself, its one thing to commit a crime and yet another thing to come online to boast about it.

There is a difference between exploiting a loophole in the system and fraudulent activities

My sincere hope is that we will use this forum to help each other and put out the right information here for everyone to benefit from and not turn it to a dark web.

If this makes me a fake ECO? I take it any day.

Hi.
Please my 28 days matured even before Dec 1, 2021
But I was having issues paying my visa/ihs fee till it was successful in Dec 8. But I have already started filling my visa application before my visa/ihs became successful. So I printed my POF in Dec 9 which covers the duration from Nov 9 - Dec 8 (30 days) because I wanted the visa/ihs fee to reflect in my bank statement. I uploaded my docs including POF in Dec 10. I hope I am safe o.

i'm hoping for the best for you.

IvanCardozo:
Good morning all,

Happy first Sunday of the year. I recently landed in the UK. My day 2 kit was delivered to the UK address before I even got in.
I did the test on Friday and immediately sent back via post same Friday. (Royal mail)

Till today, I'm yet to receive a mail from the AIS covid people. I was thinking it's 24hrs? I'm super tired mehn.

Did you check the instruction about how to return sample? Usual you are encouraged to use their Dropbox rather than posting it.

I used dropbox and my result came out the same day

Acanubs:
I already did this morning around 8:30. Waiting for the result now

Hopefully it will be negative , you should have waited before checking your ticket

olutop:
I am not trying to circumvent the rule and will never do that,The person was trying to sort her UK accomodation and some other necessarystuffs about her travel, which made some of the money to leave the account.I understand your point though, this is a public forum and we should be mindful of what we post here, Thanks and Happy new year.

Now I get you clearer and thanks for your understanding.

Acanubs:
Good morning Gurus in the house. Please what happens to flight ticket if someone tests positive for Covid during the pre departure PCR test. My test came out inconclusive and i need to redo it again this morning. Flight booked with VA for tomorrow morning. @justwise and Gurus,

Will you be able to do another test today?

Were those kids forced to be in that picture ? Look at their faces..

Rollitout:
They are suspecting that you have used an arranged POF.
Always good to carryout transaction on your account occasionally, this will show that the money belongs to you.

This is not true

GeneralDae:
I am saying that if there are rich businessmen who can set up private sectors to develop our economy rather than just waiting on the corrupt Government, we should not encourage them to sell all they have to go abroad in search of jobs or to start all over.

My question to you is..why do you think that someone with all the money in Nigeria will decide to travel abroad rather than staying back to enjoy his/her success in Nigeria? You only mentioned security but forgotten that so many things you get abroad easily are paid for in Nigeria and still you don't get what you paid for.

What social welfare does Nigeria offer to unemployed Nigerians or disabled people?

How will you run a successful business in Nigeria when you have to provide your own security, electricity with terrible road network?

GeneralDae:
Yeah that's great. People who are not doing well in Nigeria and can find their way to get this higher standard of living should go. What I find confusing is when people who have lands or houses, or a good business, or a high paying job, or investments in Nigeria decide to abandon all to start all over abroad. Apart from the security situation maybe, I see no other reasonable arguement for this.

Tell me any sector in Nigeria that works. Mention one social infrastructure in Nigeria that you can depend on.

Do you know what those high taxes you are complaining about abroad is used for?

Do you know why Germany for example are able to offer foreigners free education?

onefourseven:
Agent charging me 2.2 million naira for 3 months non appearance Turkey tourist visa. Please Nairalanders, is the price okay?

CC Justwise

Please don't start this year like this, even if you stole that money at least don't waste it.

You can not fill visa application form? What else will the agent do for you?

GeneralDae:
An average middle man in Germany and UK ( especially Germany) do not have lands and their own houses. They just work and pay almost half of the salary to the Government as taxes. It is easier for an average or middle class man in Nigeria to buy a land as an investment than for the average white man.
Ask yourself, the people paying 11 million naira or 15 million naira from Nigeria to the UK or 8 million for Germany's blocked account are doing okay. What they lack are the basics from the Government. People in Germany get shocked when you reveal to them that you spent 10000 Euros or 7 million naira for studies, many of them get help from Government. In America many are into debts.
I'm not against relocating abroad when struggling but my logic is that one who can get 10 million naira in Nigeria or one doing well should consider and plan properly if it's really worth it.

How do you know that?

Hian! Why o? I mean why are people getting banned?

The ant spambot sometimes tags some posts as spam and ban the poster and anybody that quotes it

sweetoma:
@justwise Compliments of the season. While you are here let me repeat a question asked earlier without response. The oanda rate used is that of the date you submit your online application or the date of your biometrics? With the way this pounds is rising on Oanda I have to check. Someone with a margin of extra 1.5m on top of the amount required at todays rate shld be safe right? Hoping it will not appreciate past that by the 4th.

The date of application

@All

Please let’s go back to the topic of this thread, no more post about this marriage issue.

Thank you.

elenengine:
It's not ooo.
I don't pray people should have type of my issues.
Na woman wahala. It's because I have invested much on this that's why I want to endure and secure the Visa for us, then when we get there I can now divorce her peacefully.

This is not a clever idea. Don’t do it

elenengine:
Do you mean both of them can still remain in the UK without any issues? most especially the husband has been the dependant. what type of VISA will the husband obtain.

The husband can switch to student visa if he can afford it or look for job with sponsorship

Airborne1705:
Not feasible for a dependant. Dependant for the student visa has lots of restrictions.

Name those restrictions

elenengine:
@justwise and all others elite.
If a couple secure a student visa.
Wife(applicant
Husband (dependant)
Baby 6months( dependant) and they got to the UK, after six months and they divorce.
What will be their faith, I mean what is the consequences?

Depends on what the wife plans to do after the visa expires but I will suggest that the husband change visa now before it’s too late.

MichaelUde:
I like where the HRGuy said "in my admittedly biased" opinion. That's because there is no right or recommended answer to your request for advice, all you're going to get are opinions.

I have 3 children, and I also looked after my children when we first arrived and I hadn't gotten a day job. No biggie, I still do it.
However, if I have one child like you do, I will put her in [affordable] daycare right away and take any day job that pays enough to cover the costs and leave me with something. I did not enjoy sitting at home during the winter months with 3 children, separating fights and getting homework done, only coming out in the evening when it was already dark to march off to a night job which I did not enjoy. I was unable to get anything much done in the day time or even get to know the new city I was living in, because marching 3 children around to the city to explore was definitely not something I had much energy for.

Again, our Nigerian women dey try in many ways, and I'm no sexist bigot, but do not leave your madam as the sole reasonable earner for any length of time.

They will soon come for my head, so make I tune out first.

Very very important point.

Ticha:
It's hard work especially if in the hospital or nursing home. Physically demanding and can be monotonous. Quite a bit of personal care - washing, changing incontinent pads, showering where required, feeding including actually spoon feeding like you would a baby. For clients with mobility issues, there's hoisting in and out of bed, chairs etc. Some are bed bound, so there's turning the client to avoid bedsores as well. Emptying catheters, cleaning colostomy bags if any. Shifts can be long - breaks are very welcome and sometimes, that's all the break you get unless you smoke haha

On the other hand, some can be relatively easy where the client is mainly mobile and capable and needs supervision and guidance - ie reminding them to wash, brush, cut food into smaller pieces, cook for them, take them out for walks, appointments etc. This is also same for learning disability care as well. Although with learning disability, some of the clients can also exhibit violent and aggressive tendencies to include hitting, biting, spiting etc.

There's palliative care - end of life stage - where clients have a syringe driver in and are basically waiting to die so likely also nil by mouth, tube fed and maybe intubated and the support worker's role is to keep them comfortable. So there isn't much to do apart from sitting around and ensuring their comfort.

Nights vary in different places but day support is almost always harder - although you're also not allowed to sleep on shift at night but there can be differences and nuances in different providers. Some will have a sleep in person.

There's also support work for supporting children in care - neurotypical children and or those with LD as well. It's very very similar to a teacher/ parent/ guardian role. You do get lots of being sworn at, rooms thrashed, some fixating behaviour etc.

Support work will also have you despairing about humanity and oyinbo life in general. You get the see the best and worst of humanity and realise that wahala and family drama full everywhere

This post is getting a lot of people banned for no reason, please avoid quoting it.

@olutop
Sorry your type of post is not allowed here, deal with your attempt to circumvent the student visa rules elsewhere.

Aprokodaughter:
That's visit but study I don't know. Because I wasn't asked sha and it was the first time they lifted the lockdown. Lots of emphasis was made the locator form then.

That ITV program ehn those travellers sha even the officers sef. I just started watching the show.

My point is that they have the right to do that without thinking about invading your privacy

Aprokodaughter:
But why should they check your bank statement or card. Like they will bring out pos to check your Account? Is that not invading someone's privacy?

If you have ever watched ITV Heathrow airport program you would have seen where they drag a Nigerian to ATM machine at the airport to check the money he claimed to have for the visit, it turns out that he lied but luckily for him a friend he was visiting here agreed to pay money into his account and the immigration checked and saw the money before allowing him in.

STENON:
The truth is they don't check it. I removed my POF 5 days to my Biometrics in 2018, I was scared because of Christmas and New Year holiday, I got my visa then.
This is for my sister and I am planning same for her

Is either you are trying to motivate yourself or have not being following events here, those they caught and ban are all lying ?

If your sister get caught and banned you will not come here to tell us obviously. Some will email me so many times to ask how to go about appealing a ban, 10/10 i never reply such email as its pointless.

omabiodun:
Hi everyone, @justwise, pls which bank is process Form A faster? Or which bank is highly recommended?

Thanks.

No idea as I have never used any though people complain about GTBANK here a lot

jesmond3945:
lol. Staying in Uk comes at a huge price. Is only when you invest back home that you would have something to fall back on.

investing back home does not always end well, I rather invest here and monitor it than back home.

cc Justwise

There is always that one that got away with it while some are that lucky.

DFmum:
Am not schooling , working here in NHS Trust as a nurse. Just wondering why they gave one child and refused the other.

It’s the same thing, replace school with work, the same question…who will look after your kids while you work?

keystone123:
@Justwise, Thanks so much for this vital information but the challenge is she has stay more than 7days l don't know if she can still go ahead and do the test or schedule another test, meanwhile she suppose to leave in few days ?

Your advise are most welcome. Thanks and God bless

She has to book and do the test with another provider, there is no other way out

keystone123:
Please someone close to me miss her covid 19 test after her arrival in Nigeria. Actually she has done already vaccinated for covid in her host country and have covid 19 certificate for vaccination in her hand.

She pay over there in her host country and the organization on the list of accredited organization she took refuse to give her the date for the test and she assumed that it will be 7days after her arrival because last time she came the test was done 7days after her arrival but unfortunately the suppose organization that suppose to conduct the test insisted that she suppose to do the teat 2days after her arrival in Nigeria and they refer her to Lagos state biobank located in Yaba but she cannot find any of the staff on duty due to the Christmas celebration because she went there on Sunday think that they will be on ground to attend to her but they told her she should come on Wednesday which is yesterday gotten there they told her she had stay long before she reported for test that she will need to pay fine at task force office in oshodi. Gotten there they told here she will need to wait for court to determine how much fees she will pay. She waiting for the day she will face the court now.

Please if there is anyone in the house that has pass through that know what to do to address this should please help us. I don't know what to do to help her in this situation because she only came to greet family and return back

I was in that situation two weeks ago, I was called to do day 2 pcr test a day after I arrived Nigeria and I told them that I will not be able to do it as I’m travelling for my mum burial in the east. They insisted that I have to do it within 2days and not 7days as the rule stated before. I did not do the test on day 2, after the burial I went to their office on day7 for the test and I was allowed to do it without extra charger.

All your guest needs to do now is to book a test with another approved provider and get the test done. Ignore their court nonsense and don’t get panic attack about this. The most important thing is that the test is done within 7days after arriving Nigeria and 48/24hrs before her departure.
