MT:
Nigerians are no more rushing the UK student visa, knowing fully well the cost involve and the challenges, and uncertainties that lie ahead once they are there. The rush now is for UK Carer Visa, with the cost to get COS (Certificate of Sponsorship) going as high as 13Million naira at the moment.

Is this amount worth it ?

I have interacted with some who have crossed to the UK using this visa and their experiences have largely not been positive. Most of the agencies are not getting enough job to make them pay the minimum wage for that class of visa as reuired by the UK immigration law. Many of these individuals are stressed out on the job, and regretting why they spent so muh more to come to the UK in the first instance.

I know it cannot be all gloom as some are might be actually enjoying it.

For the sake of those people trying to make this decision, can the carers who are in the UK share their honest opinions about their experiences over there.

Hi, I'm in a similar situation.
Please I'll like to know what year was this and did you use any other passport other than the Nigerian passport at any point?

Thanks a bunch

yelei:
Please I need your urgent response. I'm visiting Nigeria on the 15th to be back to the UK on the 28th March. My passport expires on the 15th April.
I have done my biometrics since 13th February but haven't gotten the new passport yet.

Will I be allowed to leave Nigeria and enter the UK with a passport that expires in 18days?

My BRP is valid till 2027, I'm just confused, don't know why the passport renewal is taking this long.

chrisj2:
You will definitely get your IHS fee back!

Maybe there were issues with international mail but who knows? Why would they refuse to return your passport after giving you a VISA? That is difficult one.

When does your course start?

Gerrard59:
Thanks for the correction.

As for salary, I would rather earn more money while being insured by my company than earn less while queing to be attended to by unpredictable striking, overworked and poorly paid doctors at the NHS.

Good afternoon famz,

I am going through alot of mental stress right now, UKVI has really dealt with me so badly without committing any crime. I applied for a student visa, priority to be precise, bio was done on 20th of January, decision was made on 23rd January and I got BRP mail on 26th of January but could you believe that since then ukvi refused to send my passport back to TLS for collection, I have been battling with this for long, I keep going to IKEJA TLS but the truth is even the so called TLS are not ready to help and now my school told me not to bother coming again even if my passport is return back to me. Right now I want to ask, can ukvi be sue and also how can I request for my IHS refund? Please house help me

Gerrard59:
There are jobs in the UK, but they are poorly renumerated. Even British citizens acknowledge this. They cry in their posts when salaries are compared in a sub-reddit I follow. And this is not the tech industry o. The annoying aspect is the high cost of living. Now, with BREXIT, Brits have to apply for visas to visit EU countries.

In my opinion, any passport that easily affords her holders to work in the US is better off than the next one that does not offer similar opportunity.

thebosstrevor1:
Tensazangetsu20 is right Uk citizens need H1B visa to work in the United states.
.

Salaries are low in the UK, so ambitious professionals move from the Uk to the United states to work.

Many Uk tech entrepreneurs, youtubers, Doctors, actors, musicians, professional sport men and women and scientists etc always immigrate to the US, they need visas to work in the US

tensazangetsu20:
A UK citizen still needs H1B for the USA and there's no special pool. You would also need to do express entry or LMIA to get a job in Canada

tensazangetsu20:
People can research. A south american passport from the mentioned countries triumps that of the UK.

ednut1:
how He is insinuating most Nigerians are into fraud. Do you do fraud?

tensazangetsu20:
They can work and travel too.

tensazangetsu20:
Go and read bros. . Read far and wide and don't say something like this outside. At the moment, a citizenship of a south american country. Countries like Argentina, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay triumps that of the UK by far.

ednut1:
Nigerians are not even the top fraudsters in western countries, where Indians, Russians, Italians mafia dey. Only a minority of Nigerians are into fraud the majority are facing their work working their ass off.

Pogracious:
How do you use 150litres/day .You people should enlighten me pls

jum33:
no probs i will repost

jum33:
@Justwise ,I threw it to the house about average electricity comsumption per day for an average 2 bedroom flat but you deleted the post ,This kept me wondering how that kind of educative post that alot will still learn from in this period of ever increasing electricity tariif hurt the forum in any way ,or is by mistake it was deleted .

Solumtoya:
I had to go look at my account now. I use about 10 cubic meters monthly which is about 300 liters per day

Viruses:
You are speaking from a place of ignorance.

Elon Musk will not go to a supermarket and buy a bottle of water for a hundred thousand pounds because he can afford it.

My water bill average around £150/annum and I'm still looking for a way to bring it down.

Solumtoya:
I agree, but you have to know that the easiest way to estimate usage is by property size. Some companies use number of occupants but it's typically unreliable because people never notify them when the occupants increase. With size of property, they can give a median occupant number without relying on your honesty.

Solumtoya:
Well, it depends. The average water (and sewage) bill in England and Wales is about £503 which is £42 monthly which is exactly what I pay and I have a meter. Your £25 may not be the norm. His £48 monthly is only slightly high especially without a meter

claremont:
The property size is one minor factor, but the family size is the main factor. I pay £50 a month for water for a family of 4. It used to be £42 until they recently increased it because, apparently, my water meter is indicating high usage. I think the figure is correct, we use a lot of water in the house. It might be only Grant Shapps that can spend only 4 mins in the shower after a hard days job, most people who do long hours will spend longer.

jum33:
Oga stop complaining , £584.08 for the period of 31.03.2023 to 31.03.2024 is mere £48 per month not even up to half of working hours in a day.
That is the same reason why things are not working in nigeria ,everybody wants good life but dont want to be commited and responsible ,that is fraud of the highest order

igbsam:
Elders, United Utilities don comot sleep from my eyes, abeg £584.08 for the period of 31.03.2023 to 31.03.2024 coupled with £299.91 that i am still trying to clear before 31.03.2023. eleyi o wa poju bayi. Isn't this too much ? How can i go about it ? Is too much ke. For ordinary water o. Any tweak to this thing ? Edakun o. When i called to complain, they said the bill is being charged on the size of the property. 2 bedroom apartment o with only me and my wife. I told them we're just 2 in the house. They said its not about the number of people living in the house, but the size of the property. I just weak. And i noticed one thing about these UK customer care services and this cuts across all services being rendered when you call them to complain about something, instead of them to solve that issue or give you a solution that would favour you, they would rather tell you their own reasons why you should pay the amount they're charging you and you have to pay. Next thing you go hear na say "What's your name for us to set up direct debit" shey you dey whine me ni, na because of direct debit i call ni abi una wan strangulate my life and pocket.
