jobbitto: Hi family,
I hope we all are having a great time this festive season.
Quite a while, I have been looking for job outside Nigeria, care work to be precise. Since this is one of the easiest route to leave Nigeria. A friend in the uk gave me a Link, an agency to be precise that would help in the process. Although, he has not used them before.
When I contacted the agency via mail. They told me their terms and conditions, I accepted and proceeded with them to help get a care job. I paid in about 499 pounds as consultation and processing fee. After a month, an interview was conducted and I scaled through.
The agency now said they are going to conduct a background check on me of which I am to provide some documents. Below is the list of documents
Proof of employment letters Payslips Discharge / Resignation letters with the cause of leaving the employment clearly stated Academic Qualifications Recommendation Letters 4 References CV The entire set of documents mentioned above must be submitted for each of the following employers. If some of the documents are missing or unavailable, They could provide a self-declaration letter confirming the reasons for such missing documents ALL THE EMPLOYERS IN THE LAST 10 YEARS If there is any employment gap in between or from the completion of their education, They will need to write a letter of explanation of the same All the documents to be put in a zip file with a separate folder for each employer Once the screening is successful, The client would receive an employment contract to sign followed by the COS within 3 working days.
House my question now, is getting this documents visible? Or they are 419. Please mod help me push to front page. I need help. lol I really don’t know why people keep giving their money easily to these heartless agents. Kiss goodbye to that money and stop wasting your time else they will collect more money from you and you will still remain in Nigeria |

Until we build were we come from and make it attractive and economical viable. We will keep explaining tire tire That is not entirely true, the British has always live off other people’s wealth and struggles, when they are not looting and stealing from other countries they take them as slaves to work in banana plantations . And they have a way of keeping control of people they once dealt with… look at commonwealth.. is like WhatsApp group of British baby mamas. One thing I respect British for though is that they always bring it home to develop their country unlike in Africa where we stole and send to other countries. |

ehizario2012: Hmmm... In my first week in this country, I took a train to Rotherham from Sheffield and paid £5.6 in cash inside the train, on my way back I paid the same £5.6 in cash. The conductors were white, a lady to, and a guy fro. It was only me that day, I went to confirm our accomodation.
Following day, I packed my family and all my children inside train to Rotherham, got there as usual, met a white conductor outside the train and told him I'll be paying cash inside the train he said no problem. Lo and behold, the conductor I saw was a black man, he asked for tickets and I said I am paying cash. Next thing, this black man gave me a ticket of £100 for not buying a ticket before boarding the train... My protests and samples of receipts of previous journeys fell on deaf ears. I felt so embarrassed with my kids. That's how we do ourselves, over sabi na e dey kill some of us. Over do!!! He definitely came in as a migrant too! If na Lagos we dey, I for use something do am. The conductor did nothing wrong, you made a mistake. |

ReesheesuKnack: Apparently, some things that are very common-sensical aren’t.
The recent rules aim a cutting NET migration. For visa holders who are already in-country, the rules that will apply to them are the rules that were in place AT THE TIME OF ORIGINAL VISA APPROVAL. The rules can only be applied to New Arrivals, from New Applications. Honestly, people should stop all these mindless postulations.
There is precedence. When the Tier-1 (HSMP) rules were changed, the courts ruled that the rules can not be applied to persons already granted on previous rules. ..and family visa applicants? Which rule apply to them? |

jedisco: The reason I get triggered when people make frivolous statements moreso about the NHS is cos its a sector I know
If you know any GP, ask them to tell you the number of fit notes they issue daily and the kind of things they are issued for. You would begin to see this country differently.
Over 100,000 additional people go off work on longterm sick leave every month many of them would be on benefits and a good chunk would work cash in cash-in-hand hence cheating the system both ways. How many visa paying immigrants are on that list? Where is the outrage about the ten of thousands of new benefit claimants monthly? What contribution do these make to the nation in comparison to immigrants? ZERO!! |

Zahra29: We've had these debates before so I'll try to keep it brief.
The IHS does not cover any of the other costs to the state such as education. I've listed some of them in a previous post.
In any case it is established that health and care workers comprise the biggest group of UK skilled workers, therefore there is a large % of immigrants that don't pay IHS.
The government is not stupid and if their stats show that dependants outnumber main applicants (both students and care workers) and they recognise that majority of these dependants do not work or pay tax while consuming public services, that is part of the reason it has introduced restrictions to curb numbers.
And yes there are Brits as well who don't pay tax, but they are in the minority and the fact is they are citizens and by definition are entitled to certain benefits and leeways in their own country. Obviously they are and manipulative, we are talking about legal immigrants who were issued visas by the same govt who is now complaining about immigration figures, if this is not stupidity then there must be another definition of stupidity. Can i also stress once again that these immigrants pay into the system even more than some British citizens do. |

Goke7: Jokes apart I think some folks here don't just understand that everybody is subsidizing each other so those who hardly use the NHS are subsidizing those using it frequently, it's simple logic but this idea that as immigrants we are contributing less than the value we get is simply crap. Exactly!! This is how the British system work, this is why some people who are unable to work are subsidised by those who can work including those immigrants. |

Goke7: ihs? they said when we give birth ihs money is exhausted don't count it among o How about single ones who are not married? Does British citizens pay to give birth? No, so the NHS spent all their resources on immigrants who came here purely to have babies and use the British system. |

Zahra29: Obv no need to pay iHS as it's a surcharge for immigrants, the same way they don't pay visa fees to the UK gov lol
But I'm confused why you think Brits don't pay NI and tax when majority start working at least part time at 16 Zahra29 my question is how many British pay ALL three? Non, only immigrants pay that even when they don't use the NHS. Not all immigrants come here with kids or even married but they still pay for what they don't use or hardly use. Those that came here with kids pay and their kids pay, those that gave birth here pay for their kids during their visa extension . Immigrants are not here to use without contributing even more than British citizens. |

Zahra29: Any idea of the number of British people who've paid taxes and NI for over 20 years and have hardly/never used the NHS and don't have children or their children go to independent schools?
The number of working Brits far outnumbers those on benefits.
Many Ukrainians had to find employment as soon as they arrived in the UK, many had to find alternative accomodation after a few months. And local Brits did complain, for example that the Ukrainians were jumping ahead of them on council housing lists How many British are paying for ihs, NI and tax? The answer is ZERO. So can we slow down this talk of immigrants are using this and that without contributing to the system.? |

Zahra29: I think people grossly underestimate how much migrants use the NHS. Apart from giving birth, many come into the UK with poorly managed or un/misdiagnosed conditions, also chronic conditions such as sickle cell, and I have come across many young people who have accessed health services far more in the year or 2 they have been here than the average young brit.
Interpreter services are common in some communities. It is estimated that around 1 million people in the UK do not speak English.
Free school meals are universal up to year 3, regardless of income or residence status.
Transport - I have even read posts here where there was no more space in the schools close to the family home by the time the parents applied, so the children were placed in a school further away and the council paid for a taxi drop off and pick up service for the children due to the distance. Any idea the number of immigrants who pay for ihs, NI and tax but hardly use the NHS? How much does British people on universal credit all their lives contribute to the system? The system seems to be in so much pressure when it comes to immigrants but Ukrainers came in the system accommodated them, the govt even pay families to take them in. Average British citizen are so ignorant of their immigration rules and policies that is why politicians take advantage of that. |

Zahra29: Yes, this bit I agree with and I expect it to be challenged in the courts because of the unfairness to their own citizens who should not have to choose between leaving their homeland or leaving their loved ones.
But then again, the govt will argue that they can bring their family over on the 10 year route , if they are not able to meet the income requirements for the normal 5 year route. So there is still a way for families to be together (it will just take longer to reach settlement) 10yrs without your family? 10yrs of travelling back home and back? Yeah you are right … they did not force anyone to come here, so people deserve what they are getting. |

Zahra29: The new rules are harsh, but also fair in that they will not apply to care workers who are already on a visa. But anyone who isn't yet on the visa has been made aware of the restrictions and they do not have to apply for care work if they do not want to live away from their families. So I don't think it's actively encouraging family separation They are definitely encouraging family separation, the whole idea of this policy is to reduce immigration right? So how does that encourage family reunion? They increased salary requirement for family visa application to 38K plus from £18,600, this is not about those coming in as you stated, this affects everyone applying for family visa whether you are here already or planning to move here with your family. |

Zahra29: Let's wait and see
Note though that Labour did not oppose the govt plans yesterday and are actively in support of some such as scrapping the shortage occupation list.
I remember debating a few months ago that high immigration was a time bomb and wouldn't sustain, but the response was that the govt would not move to restrict immigrants and students, they need immigrants etc. That may be true, but they need/want to be in power far more.
Besides the new policies aren't stopping immigrants from coming to the UK. The aim is to reduce the number of immigrants and their dependants but many immigrants such as nurses, doctors, teachers etc are unaffected. Care workers who don't have dependants or are willing to live here without their family , are also unaffected.
Some policies, such as the high salary threshold for British dependants, might be reviewed later because of the impact on British citizens and their right to family life. But I highly doubt Labour will relax the rules to the same extent that Boris did, cos they know that will only cause a huge spike in immigration again, which they will get blamed for. That bit of your post is really uncomfortable to read. I mean think about this for a moment, an immigration policy that is actively encourages family separation? You can not bring your family until you have ILR or passport even at that you have to face another lengthy visa requirements. |

Starmer would seek closer ties to the EU first
Also, Starmer would tread very carefully or else Labour risks once again carrying all the blame for high migration figures, and getting locked out of power for another 10 years. Zahra29? Labour will make changes to this or introduce another visa route to entice foreigners. The UK will struggle to remain competitive without immigrants, just wait after next generation election and see what happens. I know that Nigerians and Indians specifically abused the care and student visa routes badly hence this policy but the British government encouraged the abuse by focusing on the revenue generated through visa applications alone |

(I did say previously that Labour would adopt a similar hard-line on immigration to try to change their reputation) Labour will water down this rule when they get into power, this new rule will bite the British economy as time goes on. |

Its crazy, the room is also cold with no furniture anymore as she took everything out.
You cant believe what this woman did to me on Sunday with her kids.. They came on Sunday to make mockery of me, with her two little kids of 4 to 6 years i guess.. All where insulting me and telling me how stupid I am and how I sleep in such room, man this kids where throwing insult on me with there mother to the extent that the kids later told the mother that am now looking like a depressed person that she should pity me..
It's really crazy what kind of person the woman is.. I recorded everything without her knowing my phone was on recording... I really don't want to see this woman get away with all this act she did but I have to find somewhere else to keep my head and have a good sleep.. I have paid for a place now but I still want to collect my deposits and if possible sue her for not registering the deposit on a scheme. Please if anyone can guide me on how to go about it, I will really appreciate it.. Since you have decided to move out and gotten another place you can still get your deposit back, don't just give up, it takes time but at the end you will get your money.
