I need an advise. We all know that international students are not required to apply or collect government money. So, I am an international student and the uni I study is where I also work. This year January the school said they would make a one-off payment to all staff to ease the high cost of living. For my level it's £500. This is not government money, it's the school that is paying, I believe I can accept the money??

Hello guys,

For some days now I have been on a serious dilemma whether to resign from my federal government job that pays me above N200k for my current position and migrate to the UK or stay in naija and set up a business to augment my salary. I will be 34 years next year, I feel traveling to the uk for studies next year September will delay my chances of getting married, as I have planned not exceeding 34 years without getting married.

I belong to the school of thought that believes can make it in Nigeria despite all odds. However, considering the economic realities of the country, I have recently contemplating of japa and maybe get a Nigerian lady for marriage after my studies.

Please I earnestly need matured advice from you guys to know how to start the coming year.

Are you in the UK and if you are and still don't know this then you have lost touch with reality? I said jobs ask of work experience minimum of 5 years experience and this most times include your school periods.
They want to know what you have been doing since you left school. Every of this details matter to them.

I ended up saying most organisations are sensitive.. You can't work with them without enhanced DBS.

Can you get DBS from Nigeria? I don't know why you can't reason properly. Listed again...most care homes ask for transferable DBS before you work with them. They want to see you have no criminal record ever so you don't end up abusing those vulnerable people.
If you have abuse children or engage in crime before you won't be allowed near vulnerable people

So if you come from Nigeria get your police report, they will help you apply for DBS.

I recently got a licence to work in certain sector here and here are the chats I have with two different recruiters.

All I am telling the opp to do. Is to add his relevant work experience and include his school period..justbensure it covers the 10 years period of his life. That's ends it. He will be alright.

Please provide it. No gap. This include your school till what you do from then till today.

All jobs I have applied ask for minimum of 5 years. This include my school.

And mind you, this is care.. They are very careful in this sector. Most care homes accept only enhanced DBS.

fastseo:
It's genuine. All jobs here ask this questions.

delishpot:
Omo this happened to me too. Chai in my case this friend chat with me and as soon as they found out that I wanted info on work visa they stopped replying my messages. I no ask for money o. Just say guy, do you know or have contact of someone specialized in immigration based on employment? Guy said he has idea of someone who does that o. Say make I give am time to reach them and get back to me. Till date. Funny thing is if I call or send message to know how far, this friend go send me link to his partners preaching videos on FB.

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.

They will argue that their great grand parent have been paying tax for generations So they deserve the credit. Well I don’t blame them. Until we build were we come from and make it attractive and economical viable. We will keep explaining tire tire

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.

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.

ehizario2012:
I've never heard of this taxi drop off and pick up before, it's quite surprising.

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?

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.

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.

Goke7:
ihs? they said when we give birth ihs money is exhausted don't count it among o

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:
Zero Brits pay NI and tax?

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

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.

Raalsalghul:
I agree with you and they should start by removing the post-study visa. That alone will curtail student population by half.

Greathand01:
Please do landlords truly refund deposit when leaving....I wan enter 1 year contract and I want to be careful

Zahra29:
Brightest are leaving, brightest are also coming. That's globalisation. The "brightest" have no issues getting visas in the UK or elsewhere

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)
