Take the support worker job. Clearly.

1. Sponsorship. This is only a key factor if you're happy doing this for the medium-term sha because I still advocate for people to find work in their fields. Still, having that will give you a lot more security.

2. 25 pounds per week is not worth having to deal with 'stubborn' children. From what I've heard normal children sef the issues plenty.

3. Flexibility. The support industry is very big and there's opportunity to do more (and I guess less) work depending on your needs.

4. Reduced visa fees, and not having to pay IHS fees.

Thank you

What sites have you been checking: Experian, Clearscore, CreditKarma or TotallyScore?

Your record may not come up on all. I'd advise you check all four.

Are you on electoral register? Are you reporting any other bill?

Meanwhile, two months seems like a short time to be super worried about credit score if you've actually done the basics - register, bank, contract and bill reportings. You might have to give it more time.

Have seen something like this before
How do we report bills

Chinlov:
I would take sponsorship and start counting down.

Bringing mum to me is better as that frees 2 of you to huzzle with peace of mind....if you can afford it

Thanks you for this

Hi guys
I came in on a spousal dependent visa and you know know you Have to look for sponsorship. We have a 4month baby hence I am the only only working for now. Wanna ask for your kind advice.
1.Should i consider bringing my mom to help (baby sit) looking at the cost for her to come so my wife can work as well or I should allow n my wife do the babysitting?

2. I have a job offer at a children school (stubborn children) though no sponsorship 400 pounds weekly excluding tax ( 8am-3pm) and I have a job offer as a Support Worker but there is sponsorship 375 pounds excluding tax. Which one do you think I should go for looking at one with a future though?

Please I need your honest advice

Different "lines" of credit include but not limited to:
1.Credit cards
2 Store cards. E.g. argos
3. Overdrafts from personal bank accounts
4. Personal loans
5."Buy now pay later" .eg. klarna
6. PayPal credit

I tried this klarna I didn’t know how to go about it

My wife is billed to pay her 50% school fees by April (7k) so from the mail I saw where students can apply for loan to pay the balance and pay later. Is it advisable for international student looking at the pof we have done before entry .

Ralphlauren:
Are you planning to get your score to 100000?

You are just stressing yourself for nothing.

The higher range credit score takes years to achieve and there are several factors that impact achieving that high score.

Applying for multiple lines of credit will not increase your credit score. It will either stagnante your score or decrease it. Instead stick to one line of credit (maximum 2), maintain excellent account usuage and work on increasing your credit limit for each line of credit. Imagine having a limit of £16,000 on amex, what other credit card am I looking for again

You can get a mortgage with your existing score. Lenders look at a lot of factors and not necessarily your credit score. I have seen new immigrants (those on tier 2) without credit cards get mortgages within a year in this country and in one example, one of the named individuals on the mortgage application (spouse) wasn't even on the electoral roll.

The underwriters look at a lot of factors- your occupation, employer, how long you've been employed, how far you are from retirement age, affordability, outgoings, number of dependents, account usage, income, etc.

This is why is a good mortgage broker is worth their weight in gold. They can package your application to the underwriters highlighting all the positive factors and mitigating any risks or concerns that the underwriters might raise.

Please what do you mean about credit line?
Base on your experience here which of the credit line will you suggest.thanks

Please don't ever feel bad in anyway, it's what you have done after or build on that third class that matters. I had a third class too but after developing myself over the years, I have ended up in one of the big 4 here in the uk. You're good where you are now, just keep developing yourself.

Thank you God bless you

Check the link below for grad chemical/process jobs. You can also check the likes of BP, Centrica, Eon, Ineos, Siemens, Emerson among others. I am sure these companies sponsor cos my friends got sponsorship from the companies.

Thanks for this .
Unfortunately my class of degree is third class (the unserious type back in uni) always hustling for money. I felt bad as I feel I wished I had done it better. Well live goes on .

Goke7:
You're already working in the health sector, try and develop there. You didn't practice as a chemical engineer so you have no experience along that line which is what is needed in the UK and not degrees. With some experience in care that you have, try looking for health care support roles in the NHS, the idea is to get in so you have opportunity to be trained and get qualifications that you won't need to pay for. There are different specialisations within the NHS as a support worker like mental health, physiotherapy and so many. Imagine just spending just a year there. Any qualifications you get are world class recognised in many parts of the world. For me this may be cheapest route. If you want to go the IT way then you may need to spend some money to get trained in some specialised courses like cyber security or cloud engineering. For me except you don't need visa sponsorship doing courses on project Mgmt or business analysis may not be ideal and cost effective. Other people here may have better advice but this is just my little contribution

Thanks you for this eye opening advice . I better develop my skills and knowledge on this and get better. Thank you

Goke7:
My personal advice, take things one step at a time. You can look at the shortage skills list and see what occupations are relevant in the UK now. The truth is the IT sector and the medical sector ranks highest. The job you're even doing now except you don't want to grow in the medical sector is an opportunity to learn new skills even if it's physiotherapy which is on the shortage occupation list in the medical sector. There are entry levels especially in the NHS even if it's band 2, grow and develop. Your visa now including post-study if you do it gives you at least 3 years to still be in the UK, If you use just 1.5 years to develop yourself in a skill that's in the shortage list, don't you think you will be in a better position for sponsorship? Most people are just in a hurry after few months to get sponsorship and they end up doing jobs they regret. Please don't put much pressure on yourself. Develop yourself first and strategise. The good thing about the UK is that whatever skill and credentials you develop will also be relevant in other developed countries. You just need to be open-minded

Looking at the skills I have and what I have taken time to develop is business. I studied chemical engineering while I was in Nigeria but I didn’t practice so I gathered up and opened a gadget store. Though the Health line is also what I love back in those jamb days. Infact I choose a science course but you know naija na they went ahead and give me chemical engineering.so advice me as a pro boss which of the areas do you tink it’s best for me even if it’s will make me do some online courses I wouldn’t mind.

dupyshoo:
Yes, graduate visa used to be known as post study visa.

All other sectors offer sponsorship. There are about 68,000 companies that have the licence to sponsor.

What is your area of specialisation? That will help to determine the area you should focus on.

I studied Chemical engineering while in Nigeria

dupyshoo:
Sorry to hear about your ordeal. Please try to take things easy.

Regarding sponsorship, there are loads of other jobs that offer sponsorship. In fact, it is recently that you get to see most students doing care jobs. What course are you studying? You can start by searching for graduate jobs within your field. A lot of companies sponsor people on their grad scheme. Getting a sponsorship job now is not a do or die affair as there is the option of graduate visa.

Please, I will repeat again, take things easy. Everything will work out well.

My wife is the one schooling and what is this graduate visa you are talking about ?are you talking about post study? What other sector offer sponsorship I will like to know the details as I only of care and support living for now. Thanks for the concern. To hear this self I feel better and loved .God bless you

Evening guys
This is my fourth month in the uk and its has really been challenging. I just had a baby and my school as well so all the cost has been on me and I have to work at least 10hrs daily so I can meet up with payment of school fees and house rent and the rest. I discovered care and support living is the order of the day here in uk which that what I am into already and we mostly do it mostly for the sponsorship aspect too.please are there not other jobs ( just askin) that offers sponsorship which will pay better. I nearly slip into depression because of all this especially when I got here and the job that seems available was just care . But I have no choice and I have to fend for my family. Please I need some clarification and enlightenment . Thanks

Peerielass:
Is this for prepay meter? If so they should send you the voucher which you can then redeem at your top up merchant.

Yea.prepay meter I use key to top up

Hi everyone I got a letter from eon energy company that I have a 66pounds voucher for my energy.can I go with my house receipt or brp as a form of identification if I want to claim the benefit.

Thank you I do appreciate your help.

Sorry I was stuck at the process on Lemonade App when I wanted to Add funds it redirected me to a Paga bank account with my details and an account number together with it.
Is it how it works that I have to Add fund through the Paga bank ?

Sorry for being a pain I just want to be sure I am doing the right thing .
Thank you �

Send the equivalent to the paga account and get credited within 10mins. I sell pounds too though my rate 7naira lower to lemonade rate.

tshoboy:
Same news everywhere now. People doing priority are even regretting it because they respond same day or next day with decision now. I did standard T2 renewal last month and got response within a week and half. BRP came a week after even before their email saying it’s been dispatched

Share update on how to change our visa ooo
Make he reach us in time too

Kenn55:
If she opens a UK account on arrival, how would she be able to move the money out of naija? I'm beginning to realize that money transfer out of naija isn't as straightforward as I thought.

Opening wise account needs some verification Infact me that I here I couldn’t do the verification for address and all. You can open revolut account and I can sell pounds to you . Lemonade app is another option but my rate is much better than lemonade as well.
