It doesn't matter how you treat them. It's third parties outside your home that will tell them what to do.

That's the sure route for right to remain in the UK for them

Best to get domestic work visa and keep it as such
t
I question any Nigerian here traveling home to get a house help, you are looking for cheap and cheerful house help to over worked and under paid, you will not treat her the same way you treat a house help from here.

The legal system will not just accept her allegation without an evidence. If she got nothing on you the worst she will do is run away to other part of the UK.

Exactly my thoughts.

How they said they treated her and how they treated her when other people were around to see very likely differed from how they treated her when there were no witnesses.

Not discounting that some people can just 'turn Judas', anyway, b[b]ut I'm skeptical of anyone who imports a houseboy/girl (I think calling it a 'maid' relationship is dressing it up) in the first place.

You are not far from the truth, we all know how maids are treated in Nigeria, so when they bring one here...she is toast, i don't see any Nigerian couple here paying house maid brought from Nigeria minimum wage, given days off..let a lone allowed to enjoy the freedom like their kids.

The singular issue that makes this people bend, is how do I make my papers permanent? And to achieve this, they would cook all sort of lies........


My point is...whatever lies they cooked up has to be collaborated, the maid must have an evidence, is she getting paid and how much? Enrol in school? Allowed to go out with friends? The court will not take her 'lies' without verifiable evidence to back up her allegation

I had a friend that brought a maid from Nigeria, she was with them for over 7 years..... They treated her almost better than they treated themselves and their kids.......

The Judas in maid, still struck husband and wife..... They both went down for 36 & 49 months respectively....... 🙄


...for treating her almost better than they treated themselves and their kids.......? Or at some point they treated her the way they wouldn't treat their own kids?

The underlying issue that makes them betray their Oga's is/are...... DOCUMENTATION/LEGALISATION/RIGHT TO REMAIN .... 😁
You think this woman got 6yrs behind bars without any collaborating evidence of her crime? Considering her position and her work achievements in legal field i don't think that the British legal system will throw a high profile woman behind bars because of an unsubstantial evidence.

Last trip earlier this year, none of the officers from the various agencies asked us for money. There are cameras everywhere in the places where you interact with them and they were scrupulous about not requesting anything - even indirectly. All our interactions were refreshingly professional.

Several officers were suspended last year and enforcement is much stricter now, per the announcements.

My experience is that where people often have to pay is because they're trying to do things that are against the rules e.g. parking, luggage issues, having more people than allowed accompany them into the terminal etc.
Totally with you on this, my last trip about 3yrs ago was a positive experience at the airport, they were so helpful without asking for a penny.

When i was coming back it was even better as an airport worker who helped me massively carrying my bags and stuff refused to accept the money i gave him because they are not allowed to do that...i pretty much begged him to accept it, he did but said he has to tell his boss.

I was impressed.

True... the wider conversation would be how African nations can generate funding for infrastructure inhouse by driving growth. Might seem a chicken and egg issue but definitely doable. In the interim, the terms of loans we seek should be improved on irrespective of origin


That is the key point there, loan condition is where the body is buried and have you noticed that most of these contracts are carried out by Chinese companies? Airport, rail , road contractions etc are done by Chinese companies.

Lol I should go online to search what? Is this not online? Did the British embassy send personal messages begging you to apply for visa or you gave you one for free?
I’m not asking for any personal documents from you…just provide proof to back up your claims.

Nobody begs you to come and apply for visa.. they have not lowered visa requirements just to make it easier for Nigerians to get a visa.

1. The marriage certificate we obtained was fake.

2. Yes, I'm planning on notifying the Home Office. I don't understand the if she has any evidence against me. The only thing between us is the arraigned marriage certificate we did.
The marriage certificate is fake , so that can easily be verified if she mentioned that to HO.

Secondly...you don't live together and she has the text message you sent threatening her that you will remove her if she doesn't contribute.


Try approaching her peacefully because both of you will feel the pain if the HO get involved.

If you can afford it and your ILR is closer then swallow the pain and pay for it

Please I need advice on what to do.

I traveled to the UK in 2023 with an arraigned dependant through work route. In 2024 the license of the agency that sponsored me was revoked and I now have to start looking for a new Cos.

Now that I've gotten a cos to be paid for and reaching out to the woman that was my dependant so we can contribute and pay the Cos fee together. She has refused to reply my messages and upon telling her that if she doesn't reply me and we should contribute her quota in securing the Cos, I will remove her from being my dependant.
She than later replied and said If I try it, that she'll go to the home office and tell them we had an arraigned or fake marriage and we will both be sent back home.

I'm in distress at the moment, should I proceed in informing the home office that I'll be removing her as my dependant and hope I wouldn't have any issue if she goes to the home office to tell them we had an arraigned marriage?
What can I do please, I can't keep waiting for her response again.
1. Did you obtained original marriage certification during visa application or was it fake?

2. If you want to apply alone you have to notify the HO that the relationship has broken down and keep a copy of it, HO may do a welfare check to know if she is fine..this is where you may get in trouble if she has evidence against you.

A leader who fulfilled more than 80% of his promises in less than 3 months shows planning.Moreover the singular characteristics of all great leader is action.
If a leader action going south, it is great leadership to reverse action. It doesn't demean a leader. It simply tell us he is a listening leader

Travel › Trump Administration Reverses Termination Of Visas For Foreign Students by justwise(mod): 8:48am On Apr 26, 2025
The Trump administration is restoring visas for hundreds of foreign students who had their legal status abruptly terminated stoking panic among many who feared immediate deportation, government officials confirmed.

Justice department attorney Elizabeth Kurlan told a federal court that immigration officials are now working on a new system for reviewing and terminating visas for international students.

The announcement follows more than 100 lawsuits filed by students who were abruptly stripped of their legal right to study in US universities.

An estimated 1,800 students and 280 universities have been impacted , according to a tally from Inside Higher Ed., external

Many affected students appeared to have participated in political protests or have had previous criminal charges, such as driving infractions.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio had previously said the administration would terminate status for people whose actions the administration believes run counter to US interests.

The policy has caused widespread fear and confusion across hundreds of US universities, with some students opting to leave the country pre-emptively rather than face possible detention or deportation.

The Justice Department told the court on Friday that records would be restored in the Student and Exchange Visitor Information Systems (SEVIS), which tracks foreign students' compliance with their visas.

Last I heard, Cardiff uni is about to close up their nursing course on the current students, like not even into the next year, they’re about to leave current students stranded! I don’t know if the situation has gotten better since I last heard about this.
Apparently Ulster University is offering free accommodation for a year to students. We will see how many universities will still be operating strongly by the end of this year.
