Please is there a living in the US thread just like this one?

Could only find the student / visa application one

Classic knee-jerk.

Just like before Brexit, it was clear the care sector was heavily reliant on eastern Europeans who left after the vote.
There were only 3 options- the government facilitating a wage rise of at least 40% to make it more attractive, a collapse of the sector or lastly, the government facilitating folks from other nations to come take up those jobs.

We know what the government chose.

If that visa route is stopped (quite likely), it's only a matter of 2-4 years before those who came in migrate into other sectors with thesame labour shortage arising again. Just like with the PSW, they'd chase their tail once more while the public wallows in ignorance.

Remember reading a particular post here some few years ago: a particular nairalander called them "bait and switch."

Including IHS and visa fee plus tuition fees of student plus rent and taxes we pay. It’s running into billions of £ that we add to their economy

Goke7:
when some of us say it's a hit-and-run system they are doing, it's like we don't know what we are saying. All they are interested in is the 'benjamin' and then complain and throw people out

Immigration policies and the public's ire have largely been focused on the boat crossers for a while now. Sunak even made it one of his 5 pledges!
It was the recent huge ONS net migration figures that revealed that legal migration accounts for 99% of entrants to the UK and shifted the focus a bit, so it's not accurate to say that legal migrants are targeted more than asylum seekers.

Re the bolded, not really - you could say that it's the same for people who pay taxes and NI for donkey years and their taxes go to services they don't need or have never used such as hospitals, children's services including 15/30 hrs, primary and secondary schools and others? (For people without children).

koonbey:
No this is illogical. The analogies don't relate at all.

With work you need money from somewhere to survive. So making it difficult for people to find work while also making it difficult for them to get support in unemployment is essentially condemning them to death.

With immigration it's travel that is at stake not survival. If you are not allowed to come in illegally or legally you will not die, you will simply have to remain in your country.

There's nothing clueless about it, though you or I may not like it - all countries, including the great Nigeria, have put in policies to reduce migration legally and illegally at various points.

Zahra29:
If it's such a soft touch then why do some complain if the UK decides to toughen up its rules and start weeding out non genuine applicants? Surely that should be a good thing?

A fair number have IHS exemptions.

Zahra29:
The reality is that every desirable country has somewhat difficult immigration policies, otherwise they would be overwhelmed by hundreds of thousands (or even millions) trying to come in from poorer countries. America, Canada, Australia - even with their huge land masses - how easy is it to obtain a Canadian student visa now? Or a green card via any route other than marriage and family resettlement? Australia is having discussions to tighten their student visa route, their minister claiming that many are using it as a pseudo work visa. How long does it take to even get a German student visa interview appointment from Nigeria?
It's a global issue because resources are finite - if they have uncontrolled immigration then houses, schools, doctors etc come under significant pressure.
We've already seen posts here about people complaining about long NHS waits, lack of rental homes/prohibitive rents, not being able to get into the preferred school for their children etc etc - so it's not a black and white issue

Santa2:
This is so annoying..Watch as people tweak their plans and start looking for better alternatives with faster and better settlement conditions. Good thing other countries are making plans to absorb people wey vex comot. Make I start to strategies Plan B and C

LagosismyHome:
They started with Theresa May wickedness model. Let them continue. Only them will start cancelling flight, cancelling all operation and shouting that their fruits and vegetables are getting rotten due to lack of staff

Zahra29:
Not necessarily. There are many accounts of people who paid in excess of £15000 for passage to the UK. Even migrants from places like Vietnam who attempt to be smuggled in vans and lorries pay tens of thousands of pounds - for what? To go underground and not be able to work legally, rent, use hospital services etc

There was no surcharge a few years ago. And in less than 5 years it has multiplied to around £600 a year. Reality is that it will go up further as pressure on the NHS continues to increase.

These guys are just confused

What of in a case the grandma is a pensioner, will that kind of visit be proper?

Like using 5 months, use 1 month in Naija and come back for another 5 months

Noworries11:
Boss what do you consider as a frequent visit?
She's a Pensioner
Has just been granted visa presumably coz we just got a mail for collection.
Plan to stay for 5 months 2 weeks and return.
She's ever ready to visit at the most possible time even if its a week after. She's lonely and am her only daughter

mayluv:
No she isn't.

Hello,
Please I need advise on how to respond to the question below.

"Your bank statement is showing large sum deposits into your account. Please provide evidence of the origin of these funds, showing who these funds have come from".

Do you know anyone who has had to respond to this while waiting for a decision for your student visa application ?

Your advice would be highly appreciated.

mayluv:
Good evening beautiful people, please I have a question. I apply for a say 5 year visitor visa for my mum.

I want to understand how it really works. The maximum stay of a visitors visa is 6 months. If for example she stays for 5 months and goes back to Nigeria and then she comes back after 1 month and then stays 5 months, has she violated any visa rules?

What is the best way to maximise the use of this visa.

Thanks in advance.

British citizens cannot do most of the odd jobs that african immigrants are doing.Some of the african immigrants have never done most oc the odd jobs they do abroad.They are motivated to do those jobs because of the foreign currency.

@justwise

I can see there has been replies already and your confirmation that you got the jerk.

To be honest, there are so many financial institutions in Nigeria quoting magical interest rate. My sister in law who work with an insurance company quoted something to my wife that looks like 50% interest for a 15yrs plan. I told my wife I am not part of it and it’s her decision.

To answer your question, yes you can manage your investment here. Years back my Tbill was processed by my account manager monthly. A good relationship with your account officer will benefit you. You can write to your banks customer care and they will respond with your account officer info as well as get him/her to contact you.

I personally don’t invest in any plan except it is FGN related. This is solely for security reasons. While I like more returns on investment, I don’t ever want to lose my money. I don’t think Nigeria has that financial deposit protection schemes from banks to cater for its customers should anything happen or if the government will reimburse anyone back their money should a financial institution fail in interest. Even in civilized countries, I believe there is a limit to what can be paid back (not too sure), but I doubt if government will pay you back £50m.

If anyone knows about any financial protection scheme for customers in Nigeria to pay back investment if the financial institutions fails, please share this info, as I have a feeling my wife and sister will enter one wrapper in years to come.
