This is a shout-out to you again. Without your help, I'm not sure this would have been possible.
My family graduate visa was approved by the home office today. This couldn't have been possible without your help when all hope was lost.
Even when the care home I have been working with for a year as a relief worker disappointed me and said they could not give me COS.
Well, this same company is ready to offer me COS now that they know I had applied for a graduate visa. (gist for another day}
Just to input this,this goes out to large families applying for a graduate visa like mine (family of 5); it cost us £10,350.
Visa fees: £822, IHS for 2 years: £1,248 .
Please do everything possible to look for that money. If you apply with your partner without the children, your application will be put on hold until you send in the children's application.
I wish everyone all the best. Are you september intake? if yes why the hurry for PSW? |

Go on google, type "high paying jobs that are in demand" from the search results you will see skills you need to secure high paying jobs.
Get the skills, go back to google and search for those same jobs and apply.

Phil46: Guys
I'm in a dilemma regarding my tuition and will need your advice please.
I'm in the last semester of my master's and have about £2500 outstanding. The problem is I've been changing naira to pounds to pay to this stage since Form A became unreliable. I'm left with the hope of 2m which is just around £1400 at the current black market rate.
I've told the school that I'm working on it but they won't stop sending reminders. With the look of things I can't pay up until I finish and resume full time employment. I once sent them an email explaining the situation of things how the sudden FX hike has almost tripled the fee from the anticipated amount.
I don't know if anyone else is having or has had the same experience. How are you going about it please? I'll appreciate any advice I can get as the frequent emails and threat of potential withdrawal from the school has started affecting my wellbeing. I don't like being in debt. It makes me worry and lose concentration. Thanks Try to pay up even if it’s to take a loan. But I think some school will allow you write exams but you won’t be awarded certificate until you pay up. |

E dey surprise me say nobody here dey earn the average UK pay or even below because all the salary we dey see jna 50k and above. Na so someone say him dey earn £49k but the money no dey reach do anything cos him dey repay debt to the wife for bringing him to the UK. The advice he got on this thread is to dust his CV and look for a higher paying job.
To those who are still trying to settle and manage their life in the UK, no let all this big figures for this thread make you come dey put unnecessary pressure on yourself or look down on your current hustle o. E get why. With time, everywhere go stew.

justwise: A lot of church goers who pay tithe does it out of ignorance of the scripture, some pay because they believe that God will bless them financially but there is no such thing.
The richest man in Nigeria or Africa is not a Christian, richest man in the world is not a Christian but they all have one thing in common…they have products and services that generate wealth for them.
Nigerian pastors become rich after scamming their gullible members through all sorts of false teachings and fake miracles. Pastor that drives SUV and moves along with body guard. That’s clearly not Christ like. |

Viruses: There are different categories of job
1) There are jobs that pays £10/hr, there are jobs that pay £20/hr, there are jobs that pay £25/hr and so on
2) There are jobs that pays little at the start and it increases with experience, while others do not increase with experience.
Meaning if you have a job paying £25/hr for instance, even without packing extra shifts, you will earn more than someone working £10/hr and is parking shift left, right and center.
My advice to immigrants is instead of packing shifts upandan with the intent of having money, look for that job that will pay you more with less work.
In other words; in your situation, rather than asking for a job that will give you opportunity for more shifts or that will have an understanding manager, ask for skills that are in demand that pays well and has good prospects, use the little spare time you have to develop those skills and with the same hours as you are working now, you will earn more.
Don't come for my head that I haven't mentioned any skills, this is my own contribution. I know we want better for each other. All you mention above is the way to go in theory but its alot complex in practice. |

adeolaspecial: Hi guys, please i need your input in this. First of all, i apologize for my lengthy post. I moved into the uk last year april as a student dependent, i started working in may and have been earning a minimum a minimum wage with over time and the littlest i earned is 1900 including over time which enabled me clear my wife's fees and pay some bills added with the little she earned working 20hrs. In the long run she got pregnant and went on maternity leave a month before we welcome our baby in December.
She was on maternity leave, earning maternity pay which supports me while i go full blast working overtime with same earnings not more than 1900. She went back to work in August and now on 37.5hrs full time as she has finished doing her masters.
Now with the responsibility of catering for our child who is now 10months, we had to adjust with our work patterns (Thank God for giving me an understanding manager and hers too) by picking shifts when we like to help us on who stays home with the baby while the other go to work. I had to let go working overtime as i work on days when she's not working and she works on days when I'm not working.
This has really impacted on my earnings and pay as i now earn the basic pay of 1800, and with tax, ni and pension deducted i am left with about 1600 sometimes lower if i don't work night shifts as we earn enhancement working night shifts. My wife is very supportive as we split montly bills, spendings and all ( I know that this should even make it easier as she earns more now) , but the issue is lately the cost of living has gone up, our rent was increased, energy bill has gone up as we had to sometime put on the heater cos of the baby, his feeding, clothing and all his needs.
The bills are choking and i can even hardly save. My wife on the other hand contributes her quota on a 60/40 basis as i contribte the most as the olori ebi even though we earn same salary monthly. I have racked in credit card debts and all. I have had to cut down alot of spendings to adjust ( and that includes me not buying orijin bitters or going out with friends, going to the barber, i cut my hair anyhow i sabi, and some needs....lol). What can i do in this context as i am considering getting a new job that can pay more on same hours, but I don't know if the manager will be as understanding as the current manager i work with.
I need to earn more. I am considering investments, but don't know which or how i can get into one. Its eating me and i had to pour out my heart. I'm sorry for the lengthy write up. By the way, i work as a support worker and my wife as well as she got sponsorship and I'm a dependent. But we just can't do more hours cos of our baby.
I am considering remote works, but concentration is much needed in this and our baby is always seeking attention. How do one cope in this. Is 1600 earning considered good in such situations? you earning 1600 monthly is a fair wage to me. Just go 50/50 with your wife after all equality is what the world preaches this days. |

Gift7428: Hello NL’s I need you to help me.
So I moved here for my masters with my daughter, she is 11 now, will be 12 in December. Straight to the point, I leave her for some hours alone at home when I am working. Sometimes I drop her off at a friend who doesn’t work. If I am going out for the night and returning same day I leave her alone till I return. For example a friends birthday starting 8pm and finishing 12 am. I have a camera in my flat that I monitor her with and prompt her on what to do like wee and go to bed. She doesn’t cook when I am not around, she only microwaves cooked meals. This is how we have lived our lives for about a year. Now my neighbor on my right is a Nigerian family with two young kids while the flat on my left is sometimes used as Airbnb. The camera is quite loud so I suppose the neighbors can hear me. There is a CCTV in front of the apartment for safety reasons I believe is monitored by the letting agent. The people who live downstairs don’t even know me. So one night I went out with course-mates to have a drink around and got back same night. On Monday of that week my letting agent said police came looking for me and asked if I was in any trouble. I wasn’t home, my daughter was in school I said everything was fine I believe. The next day while I was home they came again, got into my flat and said they got an anonymous call that it seems I left my daughter alone at home. They checked my bathroom, my fridge, was asking what my daughter eats and how much I cook for her. So I told them the truth that I was out for few hours. They said I can only leave her alone when she is 14. They asked to speak with my daughter when she gets back from school. They came back later to speak with her in private and they asked that I excuse them.
After some minutes they came up to me saying my daughter seems happy and well looked after and she seems to have a good relationship with me. They asked that I shouldn’t leave her home alone and contact them if I needed help. To be honest it’s not easy for me asking for help in a place I don’t have relatives. So Sunday I was out for few hours and they checked in this Monday again saying they needed my details to pass it to social welfare. I asked the police if everything was okay they said yes but they have to refer to social services.
I really don’t understand or know what to do. Is anyone monitoring my movements or am I been watched from the CCTV outside my apartment? I am thinking if this is what I cannot cope with then I might have to send her to my mum in December then she returns to the UK when she is 14 years ( if I am still in the UK) I don’t have extra cash to pay for child minders, I have a minimum wage job and sometimes the people who help are not always available.
Thank you 😊 Next time buy your drink and shayo indoors. |

hustla: Please go for the IT Engineering one and avoid those ones saying health care assistant now and later in life. A lot of people in the UK are dabimoseda FC and they have the capacity to twist your orientation to match theirs. I have heard people saying "Oyinbo no dey give Nigerians jobs apart from care worker" and you wonder where they get that mentality from when a colleague who came into the UK less than 1 month ago has already gotten a Senior DevOps role that pays £85K.
People often can not see beyond their noses and came into the UK with very little plans to rise beyond where they are and you need to be careful how you interact with them.
If the company is on the sponsorship list, you can ask for sponsorship after probation has been passed. Even better as you have prior experience in Nigeria and tech in Nigeria is the same as tech in Afghanistan

Schoolhike: Yeah, it’s possible if applying to jobs that can sponsor.
To me the easiest would probably be applying to jobs on the Civil service website(target EO, HEO, SEO roles) which hopefully they should be able to sponsor or NHS. But the former is more fair and transparent in their recruitment process based on my own opinion anyway and experience.
A close friend would probably be switching soon, Would let you know.
Just make sure you remove information like location from your cv.
Say for instance
You once worked as a Customer service representative in Zenith Bank in Lagos
You don’t need to put Zenith Bank, lagos, Nigeria.
Just remove those location.
Customer Service Representative- Zenith Bank.
Don’t put location., etc.
Same with your Uk jobs, you don’t need to put location as well.
Make sure you include that your care experience in your cv, it doesn’t matter.
Wish you good luck Applied severally with no feed back. How do you go around writing the cover letter. |
