Just walking on by.

Nursing is a calling. Nursing is Caring. If you haven't got the calling, no do o because of money.
When eventually, I lay in a sick bed, May God grant me compassionate nurses, Amen

Whatever happened to IT as a profession of choice.
They are currently the highest paid,you can work remotely.

You don't have to care about your machines.

Good day house and all the gurus.. please I need enlightenment on this issue... I am currently in Nigeria and hoping to relocate to the UK God's willing next year.. I came across a youtube channel on study and work abroad wherein I contacted the owner and the he told me its possible to take masters in SOCIAL WORK as it has lots of opportunities or the PRE REGISTRATION MASTERS in Nursing programme with specialtyin mental health and after which I can get a job very easily even when my first degree is not in nursing... I currently have a BSC in mechanical engineering... how feasible is this considering I will be switching field and I starting a new career in a country I've never had any form of experience...... what are the factors to consider, school to apply,cost of programme and building professional work experience if I intend to go through this path.. I need advice as well as suggestions... GURUS IN D HOUSE, DOCTORS, NURSES.. your inestimable response is highly very needed...
Thanks in anticipation

Engineering is also on the shortage list. Why don’t you just further your education in that instead?

MIL provides all she can......

I would say this visa application is 50/50....... Depends on how you tidy your end.......


You would still provide 100% of supporting documentations (bank statements + payslips + accommodation details (mortgage deed/rental agreement) + a precise letter of invitation, indicating you are sponsoring her trip and all expenses on you guys......

Both of you would have to provide supporting documents........

@justwise, @Lexusgs430 and all other visa gurus

We want my mother in law to visit us in the UK, say in six months time and we want to ensure we get the foundation of the application right from now.

Our main concern is proving she has ties with Nigeria.
She doesn’t work in employment, but runs several small businesses. None of which are registered. She doesn’t have a landed property in her name, that can be used as prove of home tie.

We randomly send money to her, so not a consistent monthly stipend.

We need advice on how to prove her home tie and also plan for the application. We would be the sponsor for the trip.

Hello Ola, let’s always remember that this is life where everything doesn’t always go as planned.
I have seen people who get accommodation in 1-2 weeks, i have seen others as well who don’t secure a place in like 2 months.

If i tell you can secure a place in 20 days, what happens in you are unable to do so? Have you got extra cash for more days on airbnb?(if you do then you can go with the airbnb option, whereas if you don’t it could be a risky option)

If i were in your shoes i would accept the accommodation my family is offering at Manchester. The location might not meet my requirements but at least i could stay there and gradually look for an accommodation in my desired location without being under any pressure.

Living in a shared accommodation as someone highlighted can be very challenging even with your kids but who knows you might get a very good place.

Just to add the time scale required to find a place depends on a lot of factors such as if you have enough money to pay upfront for rent as you are new to the uk, if you going to rent directly from landlord or agent, if you find an accommodation that suits the family needs and so on.

In summary stay away from any option that puts the family under unnecessary stress, duress and financial strain and most importantly pray about your plans.

Living in Manchester and travelling to Bradford for lectures? Your husband must be loaded, bad idea to be honest.

Book Airbnb for a week in Bradford and within that period you people should be able to get a house.

I lived in Bradford for about 6yrs and I know that Bradford is not as bad as people make it. Search for house in these post codes: BD5 and BD7, they are within the university and college proximity and loads of student accommodations. Bradford is not dominated by Asians alone , Eastern Europeans has taken over and you also have a good number of Africans there.

If you don’t like Bradford then Leeds is an alternate, 20mins away by train, 45mins by First bus, Leeds is like London of Yorkshire , well developed, a bit of all races there and also affordable to live.

As always before leaving Nigeria search for houses, book viewing appointments , when you get to the Uk have a look at the university notice board for accommodation ads, Internatioal centre also has list of private landlords you can contact for accommodation

I feel IT is more of your experience/ professional certifications and personal projects you've done will be needed for you to even get a job not the degree certificate... my thoughts though being good at what you do in IT takes more time.. more especially when you are not in working in that field and coupled with lots of competition around.. I feel the competition in nursing and care jobs are lesser compared to IT field I can still do the IT thing as I've done some trainings in d past on graphics design, fortran 77 n 90, and Microsoft Azure AZ-900 which I started earlier this year but had to discontinue because of work load pressure... I've seen most job adverts for IT field they require you to know upto like 5 programming languages... it's not like nursing where you get to specialize in one field and grow there... mind you I'm not also scrapping IT line... but man if you reason am well how do I write my SOP when applying for admission as well as going for visa interview to convince dem I want to do IT when my background is ENGINEERING and even if I decide to switch after one degree in UK to IT ... how soon can job come as Bill's go dey build up

seanblax:

I am. How can I help?

dustydee:

You don't need any SOP for most UK universities. The UK does not conduct visa interviews. Anybody that is interested can study IT related courses. If you need to, state why you chose the course.
IT is much more than coding. There are IT fields you can get into with 3months of training/study. If you insist on a masters, subjects like cyber security and Data science could give you a very good chance of getting a job.

Hello. I will be traveling to the UK this week for my masters (social work at the university of Kent). You advised someone not to own a car as a new comer...all prospective social workers coming to my school were asked to get a car by January (when placement starts). I was awarded a £3000 scholarship but it has no bearing on the compulsory ownership of a car

In addition to the above, [b]you can use the next 6months to ensure regular income is going into her account and also print that to show she can [/b]support herself as well incase anything happens she won't be stranded in the UK.

Generally, older people's application gets approved easily. All the best
