bigtt76: How are they comfortable enough to be staying with you without plans to look for their own apartment?, 😂...Me I won't be that comfortable though as I would feel the guilt of not contributing to the rent or running of the house even without being prompted to do so. People are wired differently though 😂 I hope their knacking nor de disturb your sleep though 🫣🤭🤣🤣🤣 I think you have a prob. |

But they should know in advance what's about to hit them once they land You are 100% right, many that came in from 2021 even before naira prob cheated during visa application by using untouchable loans to get a visa hoping to work and pay fees. They openly discuss and encourage it here, agents openly advertising proof of fund here. Now they are crying and complaining, opening threads and lying to people about the cause of their predicament. |

headofschool: Thanks @justwise
They do give feedback and its always on the spot for my role. What I don't understand is why such little detail will be a means for not progressing when he ticks major boxes like subject knowledge, assessment, behaviour management. Lessons can't be 100% for a new teacher.
What about those who gave feedback to wifey and said "no area in particular is needed for improvement"? This is what happens when employers are spoilt for choices, it happens from time to time especially with increased number of immigrants too many people are chasing very few job positions. Like i said before don't give up because you have something that attracts those interviews. |

headofschool: Goodday Seniors, I have been on my third interview for a teaching role in design and technology. Although I got almost 15-20 interview invite but I declined to those with sponsorship.
The locations of the schools I have done my interviews were East Finchley, Ilford and Mansfield Woodhouse.
The schools commended my subject knowledge and assessment, behaviour management but gave what I'd like to call flimsy excuses for reasons not to go ahead with hiring. One even said I did not address myself as 'Mr' to the student.
Where do you think I am getting things wrong?? I am refusing to attribute it to anything related to 'racism'.
Same thing with wifey, the hiring team for her admin role in NHS said loud and clear "sincerely, you ticked all the boxes and there is no area we can say you needed to improve but we are sorry, we are just unable to hire you" this was their response on phone call (phone on speaker, so i heard too), after she had gone for the interview.
What tips or advise can you give us, it's getting frustrating I’m glad you did not see this racially even if it’s, don’t give up applying for more jobs, you are getting closer, getting more interviews is a good sign. The only tip I may give is to ask for a feedback after rejection email. Ask them to tell you any area they think you need to improve on going forward. |

ehizario2012: Ra***sm, tri****sm or serious discrimination is not limited to the whites alone please. It's something deep rooted in every human being, whether we like it or not. But we must make conscious efforts to water them down. For someone like me, I can't deny that I harbour serious resentment against those LG***Q nonsense as I still see them as sick people and that's classed as discrimination or even ra***sm in a way. But I've learnt to let them live their life while I live mine, we work together, eat together etc but they remain sick to me. I usually remove hateful post like this and the other poster that used another hateful word ''sadEast'', but no because sometimes its important to shine the stoplight on our own behaviour towards other race/tribe etc. |

ehizario2012: I actually think this adult social care thing benefits the economy in a few ways; mainly because funds from councils keep the care & support homes afloat... Some service users/patients receive as much as £17k monthly from the councils. Without these funds, care homes won't be able to pay staff (immigrants inclusive) working in care. Add free ihs, free school for children generally (immigrants inclusive.) It's a complicated relationship.
However, as long as funds are not being looted like in Nigeria, the system would keep going sustainably. How is wasting taxpayers money beneficial to the economy? That dude was able to save £50K after all expenses, he is even demanding more money for holiday. Council tax going up every year, roads and city centres hardly maintained, government stepping in financially to help some councils, so where is the benefit to the economy? |

Lexusgs430: This only came about, because of the recent change in legislation.......
The government is aware, people are gaming the system...... i support the action of the council to take back some of the money. This is just insane. He is even arguing that the council should pay for his PAs to accompanying him on holiday. He saved £50k but refused to use part of that money to pay for his PAs. The benefit system in this country is one of the biggest scam ever |

BettyO11: Thank you so much for your concern. I have some funds but like I said, I can’t trust the exchange rate. The balance I need will not require me to work overtime.
I’m just looking for a good place to work and study without stress. Please if you have any information, I’d be grateful. Thank you so much. Give the UK a break until the election come and go, this harsh immigration policy will change in some way. Anybody telling you come to the UK right now to study and work for school fees does not want the best for you. How many millions of naira do you have to convert to £ to be able to afford studying in the UK? If you have the money and can study without depending on part time work then no problem. Looking at this thread alone will tell you how bad things are. |

Champay: Hello everyone. Posting this here for our gurus here to provide excellent advice as always.
There is a certain Nigerian student that was privileged to travel to the uk to study for masters degree. Halfway into his study unfortunately, the Emefiele forex crisis of 2022 affected his tuition fees in Nigeria and he could not transfer his funds through the banks. He opted for the black market and was unfortunately scammed. He slipped into depression and this affected his academics. In the end, he dropped out and stayed until the end of his visa afterwhich he returned to Nigeria.
Now, he is planning to go back to study for a different degree. What does he need to put asides his evidence? Your story doesn’t add up and I hope that you are not going to repeat this in your visa application. If the financial situation in 2022 affected you to the point that you have to abandon your studies and return to Nigeria and now you want to return to the UK when the naira is stronger? Do you now have all the money to pay your fees in full and maintenance money? |

Olayinkaoj: Be warned, the jobs available are hotel and restaurant waiters (in summer) , labourers in construction site (all-round the year), farm/garden/fruit pickup (seasonal), but gardening can be all-year round.
Wages are low, €5.20 to €6 per hour in that category. You can make up to €860-€900/month if you work for about 20 days in a month. If you have extra days to work, and you are a labourer in construction, you can earn up to €1,100 or €1,200/month, mostly in summer when you have longer day, and if you work 9 hours/day.
Portugal is not an industrialized country or a warehouse/logistic hub like Germany, and so, don't expect much. Their own children also go to central Europe in search of greener pasture.
Accommodation is scarce but available in location where there's no job. In places where you can find jobs, it's always difficult to find accommodation and it's between €250-€350/room. And this is why Indians, Pakistanis, Bangla, Afghans can be up to 4 people in a room and pay €150/bedspace.
But the good news is, in 5 years, you will obtain your permanent residence card, which would allow you to stay and work in any part of EU, and if your proficiency is high in Portuguese, you can apply for a Portuguese passport immediately after your Permanent Resident card. Your passport is visa-free to Canada, America, UK and almost everywhere. Weigh the options and know that you are not coming to a place where life is that easy. How is that possible? €860-€900/month for 20hrs work? |

Noblesunny: you mean we can’t meet up? Ban on care worker dependent visa starts from 11 of March this years, as you have no genuine job offer right now its almost impossible for you to get one, apply for visa between now and March 11th. I know too well that Nigeria is very hard now and people are looking for ways to get out but don't be desperate else you get scammed easily. Lastly be careful with anyone from here contacting you to help you get COS, you will get scammed. |

Hotflower: Yes she can. However, it is better to pay for the flight ticket from the US, than paying from Nigeria in this current situation. I was also thinking that inviting someone to visit and if that person stays with me, means that I am sponsoring or partially sponsoring the trip. Ok fine, yes paying for her flight from US is not a bad idea considering the naira situation. The most important thing here is for her to demonstrate that she has a strong ties to Nigeria, that she has a good source of income that can afford her foreign holiday. You paying for her ticket or accommodation is added advantage. |
