Keep calm and go through the process. While going through it, you should have been in ACAS like yesterday Friday already: unfair labour practice, forced leave, restricting or force deduction of remuneration
If what you narrated is what it is, your HR need a #reset.
Importantly, Bigtt76 asked a critical? ... When exactly did you apply for your renewal. As in when exactly; date, time, mode, where.
U'll need this at the disciplinary and ACAS. Renewal: You must apply online before your current visa expires
ACAS - link: ACAS approaching Employment Tribunal
You dont need to fight your employer. The office is a war zone dont make it worse. If the hr is saying you can't work, it hurts but if you go the way of tribunal, you may win but you wont like yourself. You can only do that when you know you will not return to that work. Your peace of mind is more important than creating a hostile environment for yourself. Why use the hammer to kill an ant? Allow it slide.

Igbos didnt vote for him. They voted Tofa. The fight between igbo and yoruba didnt start today and until these two come together to agree on thing......

From what i used to know, Scottish child payment is public funds. I dont know if a new regulations has overturned the earlier.

Someone close to me fell victim of thos. Though not in recent times. The person was asked to pay the money that was then. Then they were more withs things like this done by immigrants.
If the position still remains that may make future visa renewal, or ILR impossible.
The town is very hot now.

Truly like lexusgs430 said dont be a doormat. Dont make excuses for baby daddy. He wants the baby but doesnt want to discomfort. It is not possible. I am not trying to advise you but who is going to pay for the rent? If you are the one paying for the rent. Even if you are not the one paying rent, Your interest should come first except you want to wear out quickly. You have to be strong and alive for your baby.

KGD10:
Osun made a mistake with this gbeff!

Na Aregbesola I blame. He couldn't see beyond his nose. He should have given Oyetola a little support considering how Oyetola turned Osun IGR around from 7b to 21b..

Regardless of his problem with Oyetola, he should have given him a little support. If you want to support someone else, it should be someone with substance, not a gbeff like this dancer.

I also felt Oyetola didn't talk much during the debate. He should have talked about how he paid the debt left by Aregbesola. Paid the salaries arrears of workers unpaid by Aregbesola. Also, Osun didn't borrow any money throughout Oyetola's tenure. I really don't know why he didn't talk. He's obviously someone who doesn't talk much.

I for example only learned about the high IGR increment under Oyetola after the election. From 7b to 21b... He did well tbh.
How? He didnt pay workers for months.

FamilyRe: How Do I Tell My Unmarried Elder Sister That She Is Getting Too Old? by Poanan: 9:26am On Oct 17, 2022
IntelChief:
My elder sister is around 32 years and still not serious with marriage. Her only focus is on making money and she had been very successful in that aspect. She has a well paying job and is not only comfortable but also supports me financially sometimes.

But I just can't imagine why she is not disturbed about the fact that she is still single at her age. A lot of guys I know had been approaching her but she never accepts even a relationship offer from them, talk more of marriage. (And am very sure that she is not a lesbian or any of that).

As a church guy, I have seen a lot of women stock in this not being married thing and jumping from one church to the other seeking for husbands. Some of them, out of desperation, fall victims in the hands of fake pastors and sharp guys. I really don't want my sister to go through such.

Initially, I wasn't disturbed, but right now, this issue is burning not only me but also my aging mother. My mother had even stylishly urged my sister to go get married on several occasions. But she won't.

What really got me mad was when I was discussing with my sister some days back about her future plans. She told me stuffs like planning on travelling abroad for greener pastures, bla bla bla, but made no mention of marriage.

Honestly guys, I am tired. And as a man in the family, I am thinking of changing it for my sister. Am planning on threatening her that if she doesn't take the issue of marriage serious, I will go physical with her and teach her some lessons. But the issue is that she is my elder sister and I have some respect for her. And my action might end up affecting the bond in the family.
For you ti think od fighting your elder sister cos of marrigae..... are u sure u are okay?

BusinessRe: CBN Raises Interest Rate To 15.5% To Curb Rising Inflation by Poanan: 9:37pm On Sep 27, 2022
gambojimeta:
That's because Nigeria's economy is complex and regulations is lax plus the corruption in the system.

In the obodo Oyinbo, when interest rate is increased, business and people will reduce their spending as they also need that money to service their debts obligations (remember lending and borrowing are very popular in those countries), so there are less money chasing few products. This helps slow down demand and also brings about a fall in prices of commodities; hence, reducing inflation.

In the US, Canada and other advanced countries. The economy is overheated i.e. plenty of jobs, people have lots of money to spend, economies opening up too fast, so there are more money chasing fewer goods since there was supply chain issues because of covid.

But we don't have the same in Nigeria, unemployment is extremely high, people don't have lots of money, Nigerian economy is not opening up because of covid (we weren't affected that much), Nigerian economy is not heating up, but the CBN is increasing interest rate anyway. The only reason I could think of is because of the exchange rate. Dollar is getting higher so it's being done to make buying the dollars less attractive. Perhaps, this will only apply to a few people in Nigeria as not many people in Nigeria buy dollars anyway aside those that school abroad or business men dealing with foreign export and import.
You started mixing up things i your last paragraph. Are are mixing thjngs up in your kast paragraph. Are u saying we are not experiencing increase jn the proce of goods? Of course we are. Ours is jusy different because it accompanied by high unemployment which makes it stagflation.
With the amount of people travelling out, somehow helps the unemployment rate cos thwy are crearing vacancies to be filled by a human being.
Increase in interest is the only thing that can work not excluding the remival of Emefiele. You cant keep interest low when the advanced nations are increasing theirs. I will simply convert my naira to dollars and earn higher interests in a currency that is stable. Of this happens dollar may become 2k.

Who has successfully gone through a CAS deposit refund from university of Lincoln?

My CAS application was rejected about 3 weeks ago and was advised by the international admissions team that my Deposit would be refunded by the finance team. I have sent several follow up emails to the finance team without a single response.

This is sickening!
Why did they reject your application? Do they have jan intake for your course? If they do defer admission. Cos u will ne short of some thousands after return. At least 100k

You might need to work a bit more on your offline networking. Referrals from random beings on the internet who do not know you in real life, irrespective of the website/platform, mightn't be easy to come by.
Ok thanks. If I had offline in the UK, I would not have come to ask. Referral doesnt mean you vouching for the person's character. Referral just makes it easier if you are from a non target school. Trust me there are some certain things I cannot do. Not because i consider myself to be well behaved but because of my professional bodies. If i try it all the person needs do to report me to my professional bodies and I will be a goner.
