Birmingham? 2nd largest city in england? Except u no wan work sha. Rent is relatively cheap as well, ranging from 300 for shared accommodation or from 450 for 1room apartment. With £4.6 u can get a day saver bus ticket to travel anywhere within West Midlands (Walsall-Dudley-Wolverhampton)

There’s no magic rule to this. It’s just a matter of connecting and networking with like minded people. E.g u wouldn’t be asking a Nigerian born in the UK how u can change ur immigration status. You need to be asking people who have gone through similar process and can relate to your situation. Start from your Uni alumni, people who came to UK to study and are now permanent residents.

Information is VERY key!!!

hustla:
What kind of people should you acquaint yourself with and where can you network to meet better people ?

Most of the advice I've seen is to avoid Nigerians and Nigerian churches

A UK-Nigerian party jollof can never taste same as the one cooked in Nigeria

hustla:
A lizard in Nigeria will never be a crocodile abroad

That's just that

See, I tire

As in, I weak

I’m shook

Olalekank:
Listen to yourself sir (the bolded applies to you). In my opinion, this is terrible advice.

You wrote a long text only to tell her to “endure” her marriage just because she’s an African? That’s pure sufferhead.

The fear of the unknown is what I sense here. You need to break ursef from shackles of dependency. Yes, you can do it, it’s doable. You just need reassurance, dedication and commitment.

Like I always say, the first set of people you acquaint ursef with in the UK will have impact on ur UK journey. Find people that share same goal as ursef and it will be smooth sailing for you. People that mean well for you and point you to the right track.

You are not just a girl, you are now an independent, bold and courageous lady who knows what she wants and will strive to get it.

Justagirl01:
Do I just move on? I am super stressed from trying to clear of the balance of my fees, thinking of how to sort out my life after school and I am navigating all these thoughts alone. I fear that nothing will change because our relationship has been toxic due to the kind of pain we have caused each other. I am willing to do better and be better as I have always said to him but on a ground that he will make conscious effort to be bette. I fear that when he comes he might continue to gamble or probably go AWOL on me if I offend him as this is what he does all the time.

I just need advice. Even though I am married, it doesn't feel like it. I don't feel loved or cared for, I don't feel like I matter to him. Emotionally, I am very very alone. He can go days or weeks without speaking to me when we have a major misunderstanding. I just want some peace, oneness, love and transparency.

You will be classed as a Nigerian applying from Nigeria hence you will need the TB test

fondy:
I am a Nigerian currently residing in Cyprus. According to the UKVI requirements, residents of Cyprus are not required to undergo a TB test. However, due to the pandemic, the visa submission centre here is currently closed until further notice. That means I have to apply for my Tier 4 study visa from Nigeria. Do I still need to undergo the TB test as I'll be coming into Nigeria 1 month prior to my appointment date?

No matter ur experience all labs are meant to do induction and trainings for their new staff. There’s no shame in asking questions and asking to be trained on what you haven’t done before, however you MUST knw the basic stuffs and not just be a novice. Not to mention that some basic skills will be required before you get a job for example you might not get a job in histology if you can not operate the microtome.

Most scholarships that I have seen are 2:1 and above but u that doesn’t mean u can’t still get as a 2:2 holder but chances might be slim

Finally, a post graduate is also CPD and can improve ur chances either Cus u are already in the country or Cus u now understand the uk education system

bimbod:
Thanks for replying. Please i saw a post where someone said it's not easy getting a job with any laboratory even after migrating, he/she mentioned something about laboratories not ready to hire you because they don't trust you have the required knowledge in running their labs even though you have had an experience in nigeria. Is that always the case?

Does one still need to pursue a postgraduate degree in order to get a job?? and will it be easy for someone that graduated with 2.2 to do masters easily especially with scholarships cause the fees are a lot??

I ll be awaiting your reply sir.

How much and at what rate pls

Oggg:
i have pounds if interested

Is it still available and how much are you selling

TuniLove:
Hello Everyone,

I have pounds to exchange for naira.

Cheers!

Oga Ralphjean has done justice to your questions, also you can consider using UK NARIC in place of the IETLS.

Since you studied MLS and u are registered in Nigeria, I think you stand a good chance. Goodluck!

bimbod:
hello. pls does one one year internship count as a work experience? and can someone use it to register in hcpc?

Oh my telbo! They have grown so much that they increased their topup fee but still going strong

lightest:
Yes but I use Telbo because smile sometimes misbehave


]Greetings everyone. I always have questions o

How are cheap calls to Nigeria made? I overheard someone talking about smile (was wondering if it's the same smile back in Nigeria). I'm referring to non voip calls o, Not WhatsApp and the likes.

Please help o

justwise:
@All

Apologies for hiding Akanjimole's you quoted or replied to, he is not asking an innocent question rather he knowingly and indirectly advertising the fraudulent visa scheme

@Akanjimole you are banned from this section

*knacks table with hammer*

Court!!!

Sim only contact is a SIM card you get on contract from the big Telecomms like Tmobile/EE, three network, O2, Vodafone and the likes.

Giffgaff, Lyca, lebara and the likes belong to same whatsapp grp and they do not have any effect on credit score

starboychan:
Thank you so much.

I still don't understand the sim only contract phone. I'm currently using Giffgaff and I do pay £10monthly for goodiebag

Since it’s a different course it shld be considered academic progression

Lizzieosang:
Hi everyone
A friend has a UK MSc in the bag,and now wants to look at an MBA

Is this considered course progression please so it won’t result in a visa refusal for that reason

I’ll appreciate answers

Thanks

Since it’s academic reference, it holds more water if it’s on letter head. However, if your lecturer can write one and include contact details like phone number and work email, it should also pass.

Yes the marriage certificate accompanied with wedding pictures should be fine

zeke100:
I got a conditional admission from keele University, I am to provide an academic reference,

1. please must it be done on the school letterhead paper or any lecturer can give it to me?

2. I am planning to apply for visa as married, can a marriage certificate I get in a week or two still be perfect for that?

The registration cycle basically mean that there’s a fee to be paid yearly so 1 Dec till Nov 30 is the calendar year they use. Also, they check for competencies at random by asking for some registrants to submit evidence of CPD.

Yes u can proceed

Theflint1:
Hello, please have some things I need to be clarified on, and would appreciate your help on it.

Working on a tier 2 VISA for a sibling who's a medical laboratory scientist with like 8 years of experience. While I was going through the Guidance for International Applicants on HCPC, I discovered that the registration cycle for biomedical scientists is biennial (1 December - November 30). Please what exactly does this mean? I plan to process the application this year, from now if possible...can I proceed with it?

Yes pls

Theflint1:
Hello, good evening, please can I send a DM?

The training is only 4-5 weeks and can be selected days in the week while the voluntary can be a 9-5 thing or selected hours as agreed with the lab.

Yes can be done simultaneously since it’s going to be online or by attendance depends on what u choose

https://labmedexpert.com/training/individual-training

Geness:
Thank you so much for your reply, I truly apreciate. I'll start with UK NARIC and IBMS and start looking into the training you talked about but I have a few questions.

Will this training replace the voluntary job?
Is the voluntary job and/or the training going to happen before or after the top up modules? Or simultaneously?
Finally can you give me some insight about this training, a link perhaps?
Again, thank you so much.

Word counts are allowed to go over or below by 10% meaning 500 words can either be 450 or 550. Anything over can attract negative marking but in this case I don’t think that shld be a prob as long as u don’t submit a whole essay as personal statement.

2nex:
please, is there any implications if one exceeds the 500 words when writing personal statement? also some schools do not require reference, does it really has any meaning? or not important in the school?

Hello Geness,

It appears that u have done some background readings and have knowledge about this, which is good. I also like that you are open to volunteering to gain experience.

To the questions, yes if u have the transcript it will be needed for UK NARIC assessment and u will have to send it to them ursef. Also, IBMS will need to see all ur degree certificates to determine which topup modules u need to take.

Additionally, since u are already in the UK and have a dependant visa, I’d advise u do histological training which can then help u get locum jobs while u are waiting ur IBMS assessment. Although, the training is a bit expensive about £2k for 4 weeks or so but it’s worth it.

Volunteering is as competitive as getting actual job within the NHS. The good news is, you can grab the bull by the horn by walking in to a nearby NHS lab facility to ask see the manager or training officer to declare ur interest.

Geness:
Hello Omopapa and all the gurus in the house

I recently moved to the UK on a tier 2 dependant visa. Was initially looking into nursing but finance, kids and the fact that we live up north far from any school is making me reconsider. I have a Bsc and Msc in Biochemistry and now I'm looking into building on this. (I hope it's not a bad idea, if it is please let me know)

Tbh all I have is the certificates, I'm not coming with solid experience but I'm willing to start from the scratch... volunteering and all.

So from what I've gathered here I'm to get UK NARIC, module descriptors, transcripts and my degree certificates to IBMS, then top up modules and follow up with HCPC

Do I send the transcripts to UK NARIC and IBMS myself or does my school send it to them like WES?
I read here that I could do the UK NARIC and IBMS simultaneously, how do I do that if I need to present UK NARIC to IBMS?
Is it easy to get a volunteer job afterwards?
Is there any hack to getting it?

Thank you.
