Meanwhile more and more students just came in this January.

The crux is UK is broke and needs our money.
koonbey:
Switching before completing the course is abusing the system. Of course people are free to do it as it's legal but it's clearly a huge problem as those people take up spaces and then abscond thereby leaving the unis out of pocket but also depriving other people who genuinely want to study of the space since the unis cannot recruit ad-hoc after admission cycles.

I had a chat with an entry officer on my way back in from a trip recently and it's clear people are aware that the route is being abused. I just hope when the remedy comes it won't be too strong a shift to restrictions and loss of the current opportunities, because I know people will start screaming racism or 'right-wing' even though what has been happening is not something that they would entertain in their own countries.

How can one ascertain that agency is actually remitting tax contribution To home office.

I checked now on HMRC and its showing You do not have gaps in your record.

TheGuyFromHR:
Try not to do the bolded. It may fetch you an unwanted escalation, which you'd rather avoid. And before you start waving the emotional distress banner, assess your own position and your actions carefully, as well as those of your employer. Documented and/or demonstrable ones preferably.

In my experience, probationary notice periods generally range between 1 and 2 weeks, so I assume you probably have the right of it in this case.

Regarding other matters which you may or may not have presented here, have you any documented evidence of the allegations of mistreatment and bullying you adduced? You mentioned the company refusing to stand guarantor for you as part of your securing accommodation, was this contractually promised in writing? You mentioned something about not being able to drive a manual car, remind us again - was your ability to drive a car part of the skills reasonably expected of you for this job? Does the company provide vehicles, and are those vehicles all manual (fleet vehicles in this country quite commonly are). What other grounds are there for your employer becoming dissatisfied with you and subsequently resorting to maltreat you as you say? Might the employer have grounds for a wasted recruitment claim against you?

In all probability, this will likely end with more threats and huffing and puffing, but don't apply silence to this matter. See it through.
He shouldn't fret just reply them calmly stating the obvious. If they insist on 2 weeks notice just play along with them before you know it 2 weeks is here then you can leave their company.

Experts in the house who knows About HMRC I have some question.

So, im trying to register with HMRC to check and see if the agency i work with actually remits my tax but i couldnt .

It keeps asking me for UK passport and DVLA approved license.

If anyone knows how to go about the process involved, please share your experience so we all learn.

Hi guys, I posted sometime ago (other miniker) about issues with my company because I wasn't able to drive and how they threaten to sack me at any slight instance including feedind a dog thrice instead of twice. It hasn't been easy for me. I have been trekking in the winter to see clients and never complained yet my company never cease to threaten me of sack for the most trivial of issues. They constantly remind me that they are doing me a favor by keeping me cos I wld have been long gone to my country the moment they noticed I cldnt drive. They refused to renew my ID card and didn't give me the training they give to other staff.

I was told by my South African colleague that the company wants to chase me and I should find a new sponsor before I am chased out. Luckily for me, I got a new sponsor and I have a new COS. I have also applied to update my Visa using priority option.

My company sent me a mail that they have booked me ahead for work till the new year. I plan to start at my new place before the Christmas. I responded that they should only book me for a week cos I will be stopping after a week. My contract states that both parties should give at least a 1 week notice before contract termination.

I was told to report to the office and on getting there I laid all my concerns. I have been living in an hotel with my wife and two kids for close to 2 months and the company refused to stand as a guarantor for me to get a house. I also made other concerns. They said its non of their business if my kids are registered with a GP or not or if I have a place as long as I work with them. I maintained my stance that I want to quit but was told I must work for a month before quiting or forfeit the pay for the days I have worked. I said I wasn't going to work and the madam opened the door and asked me to get out. I got up and left.

Later in the day, the husband mailed me that I am breaching my contract that I must work 1 month or they will report me to home office and I will have a limit to stay in the UK. I didn't reply his mail but I have a copy of the contract that states other wise.

Any advice for me guys?
Please report them and find another company/agency if you can

Hello House,

How can one scale the hurdle of getting second proof of address and 1 proof of identity.

Banks/Jobs are all demanding for these and it's becoming frustrating.

I'm barely 5 weeks in town and all I have is NIN mail from DWP and BRP. I'll appreciate guide/suggestions.

Thanks,
Is this bank job like mail man?

This has been thrashed out many times.
Which course you dey read - if na standard 9 months masters, your only holiday periods na your university's Easter and Christmas breaks and na then you fit work more than 20 hours a week.

Any other master's course length/undergraduate, ask your uni.
so can i work in summer?

Good evening all,

Has anyone had an experience with rescheduling biometrics capture for Nigerian passport in London please?

I booked biometrics for 19th September and after a few weeks, it was announced as a public holiday for the Queen's burial. I've been trying to pick a new date since then but each time I reschedule, it allows me to pick future dates but then defaults to the past date again.

I have been calling the NHC numbers but haven't been able to reach anyone, no response to emails either.

I will really appreciate some advice on this.
Join the Nigeian passport group on NairaLand. May might find the solution there

Nope. They still have 5 years to go before ILR. This is BRP with a permanent job (non medical/shortage list). So Visa fee per person was £1,423 before you add IHS for 5 years. Multiply by 4.
Is this money paid by everyone that wants to renew?
Or just people that switch from tier 4

justwise:
You have to switch to either tier 4 or tier 2.

You can not renew or extend PSW.
So after PSW one has to switch to Tier 4 again?


Please explain better

This is depending on the school, how fast their admission team is/the volume of applications they're getting. But usually it can take one day to a few weeks.

For some schools you can pay deposit, have the payment confirmed and get your CAS all within 48 hours.
Who has used AccessBank form A here and what are the documents uploaded. Because I have upload all the necessary documents yet they still asking for more. Maybe I should just avoid that them.
