My goodness. First off, you have not even completed your research accurately.
Next, so everyone in UK is a nurse and all are working towards becoming band 8 nurses?
I didn’t know that I was a nurse or that I was managing and aspiring to be a band 8… thank you for realigning me to a path I didn’t even know I was supposed to be on grin
*slaps head*
Stop giving unbalanced options to oil worker nurse and basing your discuss about band 8. It is so laughable at this time as she is not one nor will be one in 2 years.

You are a real clown 😂😂😂😂🤣

Hello everyone, I kindly ask for your assistance and advice regarding my uncle. My uncle who is a black Nigerian, has been falsely accused of beating clients in a care home by four white people. They raise these allegations against him just because they hate him whenever he voice out to them at work. He has been called to meetings twice, during which he has sobbed and denied all of the accusations made against him. The police have been contacted, but they have stated that they cannot investigate the matter because there is no evidence. The care home has forwarded the case to safeguarding teams, and an investigation is still underway. I would like to know who we should get in touch with to aid my uncle because we are at a loss. Since we are unsure of what to do while the investigation is ongoing. Our mental health is affected at the moment, he is currently on suspension for a month now from work

Most care homes use sensors, audio recorders (including Alexa) and basic CCTV. So if it happened, the evidence will be everywhere.

What I suggest: Make sure you register with a care Union and brief them adequately. No lawyers for now.

When the care home is done running around evidence then you get a lawyer and serve them court papers.

NB: if you are under their COS, thread with caution cz unfortunately it will be taken away even if you are innocent (and even while fighting them in court).

Wish you the best.

Can u rephrase?....I honestly don't get ur question...what does bleép mean??

Wow. I used ex ex ex and the algorithm messed it up.

I am in the process of applying for my child's dependant visa and at the same time applying to update my skilled worker visa. In the application for my child, there's a place where my own application status was needed. It read thus - "Does (refering to me) already have their Skilled worker visa immigration permission?" With an option of yes or no.

What do you think should be the correct option?

@advancedDNA and others, kindly take a look at this for me.

While trying to apply for my child dependent visa, I got a point where I was asked of my application status - "Does Bleep (refering to MA) already have their Skilled worker visa immigration permission?" With an option of yes or no.

Keep in mind: I have been in UK already but just updating my visa also due to change of employer.

UPDATE on Visa switch within the uk after curtailment
After a year plus in the uk with an unreliable employer that brought us in. No shifts, excuses, pregnancy redundancy etc. sought for cos for over a year and we no see. Decided to back down. Shockingly the employer curtailed our leaved without prior information. Para entered body as we have kids, properties etc. the day the we got the email from home office with 4 attachments of the curtailment letters, I was shocked, couldn't work, lost hope felt like my life has been cut short.
I came back home and told my wife that we MUST get cos within 7days if we apply the same strategy we used when we got from Nigeria. We swung into action, met a solicitor in London, that one too carry more para join our existing para say make we use our uk born baby get papers bla bla bla. I went through all the immigration laws, council website, citizen advice and even found out a help on it for displaced carers etc. from same website, it took me to another website that showed licenced health and care employers in the uk only. I had to add some tech skills in my search, applying to every part of uk from England to northern Ireland to Scotland to wales and gracefully I got this employer that is leaving 30 mins walk away from us, listened to our story, had interview and gave offer followed by a cos without a dime. Infact we told the employer we would pay isc after it was assigned, employer no gree I started suspecting the COS sef. All of these happened within 5 days. The employer assigned the cos and kept quiet. After like 3 more days we asked the employer about the way forward and employer said it has been done. We said ah ah, send us the document naaa, boom email entered and it was it. Employer hasn't done it before and we appeared to be the first to be assigned by the company, lots of mistakes including sub category, work duration (1 year then corrected to 3 years) and missing ISC charge. Sponsor note was added and we applied with priority as our 60 days is already counting down. Then emailed isc admin and business helpdesk including work sponsor team concerning the isc error and the payment ref that was made after the error. They acknowledged the email within 24 and telling us they have returned our application to case work and Within another 24 hours case worker approved it. Its been about 17days from the time of curtailment to successful application. From the time of visa application to approval was just 3 days with priority and id app identity check.
I am happy to share this post.
I hope this answers some people's question here on NL.

If you don't mind. what you called visa switch, is it same visa update or extension? @AdvanceDNA and others.

If your friend didn't know he should be accompanied by someone that has at least 3yrs on a DL, then he isn't quite ready for the test.

There isn't any other plea than 'guilty'. He should beg for his majesty's leniency.

He just submitted his guilty plea. Bracing for the worst. Thanks for being very honest with this situation.

I saw the news about that clean Rav 4 cheesy



A learner driver in a burgundy Rav 4 was reported to the police for driving out of a test center unaccompanied. So you'll understand his question.

Oh I see. Thanks for shining the light on that.

I think a lawyer is the logical way to go won't you say? Cos even if someone here gives you a lawyers' advice here, you'd still need to engages the services of a lawyer cos your friend can most probably not represent himself or herself

Yea. It's just he has two options. Plead guilty or not guilty.

We are thinking If he plead guilty and explain himself probably there will be no need for a Lawyer. But If he plead not guilty, he has to convince the court which is where a lawyer comes in. And when we tried to talk to a Lawyer, the fees could only be described by our own Hon Patrick Obiahagbon.

It's not a little error bro. Its major! He drove to the driving test centre without a licence feeling funky haba. He could have called someone with full licence to sit beside him. Even with that, if he didn't add L plates, he would have been in trouble.

Anyway, tell you friend to get a nice oyster card or contactless bank card.

This is vawulence nah smiley

Oyster card for what exactly, if I may ask.

Curious to know though. If you friend had failed the driving test, didnt he feel it could be an issue if the examiner noticed he drove out of the centre unaccompanied after failing his test, regardless of having an int'l license?

He is guilty of the offence....... He should expect 6 points on his yet to arrive licence + a fine ....... He should expect a court summons in the post............

This is why we emphasize, using a driving instructors vehicle...... We can't be pennywise and pound foolish......

The instructor failed him at the spot before calling the police. The court summons has arrived. That's what we are trying to fill together. But it's not easy to defend.

Did the test go ahead? The offence before the test is different from the substance of the test itself I would think.

The test has been completed before the examiner called on Olopa.

Greetings my people.

I do not mean to spoil the post election analysis/mood in the house. But I need input in this matter.

A friend of mine drove to the driving test centre with his car (because he has been driving before his international licence expired and didn't know it was wrong to drive unaccompanied). The staff at the centre called the police and he has been charged with driving offences such as: "Driving a motor vehicle otherwise than in accordance with a licence - endorsable offence" and " Using a motor vehicle on a road/public place without third party insurance"( he was told his insurance was voided by such an act). The charge sounds serious.

Please help. He needs our advice on how to reply this plea.

They have started re-enrolling them and restating their visas.

I understand times are hard now, but humans generally obey instructions when there are consequences. *Those that didn't have money to pay, where did they see the money after their visas were curtailed?* Did they just rush many hours of work or people pitied and gave them?

Don't pray to find yourself in such a situation.

Who's that good planner that never had his plan thwarted by some kinda circumstance at some point?. I am not trying to make excuses for them but I have seen people experience misfortune that messed up their financial plans.

Things dey happen, Bro.
