Knowlegeseeking: Please take the offer with sponsorship My guy is presently in this predicament where he thought the first company he went to would sponsor his visa but they didn't Tight situation for him now as his visa expires in a bit You're already familiar with company A and can get promotion in addition to the Sponsorship. You can also pivot to a bigger company with sponsorship when settled in the role after a year or two Don't let company B whine you o. A bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush 4 Likes |

kwakudtraveller: Yes unless a previous employer has done it for you before by getting a waiver even if you have been here less than five years so your new employer will just apply to transfer the clearance For DV clearance however only citizens can qualify unlike SC where non citizens can qualify. If you are not a citizen just forget about roles asking for DV clearance 1 Like |

Pls gurus in the house kindly advise I just got this email from my employer ''In relation to your Sponsorship application, as the hourly rate for your proposed role does not meet the criteria, we may be able to proceed if we can change your offer , whereby you work night shifts. Would this be suitable for you? I am tired ! And I raised this issue last time during my AccessNI that the hourly pay was supposed to be 10.75 and not 10.70 and my manager said the annual salary is over 20,960 because I will be working 40hrs/week. hustla: |

Good evening @justwise, @mex551, lexusgs430 and other elders, a flatmate of mine recently got a provisional offer with the civil service that requires security clearance. However in the job advert it was stated that "For meaningful checks to be carried out, individuals need to have lived in the UK for a sufficient period of time to enable appropriate checks to be carried out and produce a result which provides the required level of assurance. You should normally have been resident in the United Kingdom for the last 3 years if the role requires CTC clearance, 5 years for SC clearance and 10 years for DV. A lack of UK residency in itself is not necessarily a bar to a security clearance and applicants should contact the Vacancy Holder/Recruiting Manager listed in the advert for further advice." My flatmate was happy about the provisional offer at first but got later got sad as he is unsure of passing the security clearance. Please who else has gone through this type of situation and passed it? |

dentalux: He can be granted a residency waiver, they will just ask for some additional information and documents like police character certificate from his country of origin and character reference |

Lexusgs430: To avoid reoccurrence, how do one make payment after driving in a congestion charging zone? Are there paypoints around the zone like car park paypoints? |

Adebayo82: Pele! You’ve made a very expensive mistake! Pay the fine and next time consider using the train. You can get a return trip to London from Birmingham for less than £20 if you book in advance. 1 Like |

No, I did not pay dart crossing charge, I'm not aware of this. My car is petrol not diesel. I may likely travel again to London where can I initiate the dart crossing charge. Is it paying online or you can equally share the link with me. rinzylee: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by ukay2: 10:48pm On Aug 10, 2023 |
Adebayo82: Check gov.uk website...all payments advice should be there. Also, the letter you have should also advice you how to make the payments |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by rinzylee(m): 12:03am On Aug 11, 2023 |
Adebayo82: Is it possible you take a train instead? If you pass M23 or M25 on your way into London, you would have to pass the Dart crossing. I think it's £2.50 per crossing. There's a website for checking if your car is ULEZ compliant. Download waze app and see if it is able to help you avoid the no emission zones. |

Hi guys, I have been in the job hunt for a while now. I got an offer from a company as a quality control personnel which is still connected to my background as an engineer. I accepted the offer and awaiting reference checks. However, I also applied for a sales admin position in another company and during interview, the interviewer was very impressed but said I am over qualified for the job. The interviewer recommended me to her Line manager to interview for an account manager position. The line manager called to book an appointment but I said I have already accepted an offer with another company. On a second thought, the pay for the quality control role is far less than the account manager and the job description is what I know I can do. I.feel very bad for turning down the interview invite. Please can I call back the line manager and say l I will like to do the interview? How do I say it without sounding unprofessional. And please will it be a breach of contract with company B if I turn down the offer after accepting it? Although I haven't recieved a contract and I am due to start by first week of next month. I need advice my people |

Peerielass: No p60 was given. It says NI a seperate money was deducted for that, it also says tax a seperate money was deducted for that, then pension a seperate money was deducted for that. |

Jcole123: I think you will look unprofessional. Move on with the one you have accepted, gain the UK experience and probably more better jobs/opportunities will come your way as you go on. |

Adebayo82: You probably drove through the Congestion zone. See map of congestion zone below and operating time is 07:00-18:00 Mon-Fri, 12:00-18:00 Sat-Sun and bank holidays. No charge between Christmas Day and New Year's Day bank holiday (inclusive). The daily charge is £15 if you pay in advance or on the same day, or £17.50 by midnight of the third day after travel. You will get a PCN if you don’t pay after the third day. You can challenge the PCN if you are sure you didn’t drive through the zone. https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/congestion-charge/congestion-charge-zone https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/congestion-charge/paying-the-congestion-charge 3 Likes

eniola1010: You should ask them for a p60 if you are still with the employer. If they fail to provide one, phone HMRC for advice on what to do next. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Viruses: 7:38am On Aug 11, 2023 |
Adebayo82: ULEZ is different from congestion. You have been asked to pay congestion charge not ULEZ charge. |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Estroller: 8:28am On Aug 11, 2023 |
Adebayo82: Looks like you have been charged for driving through the congestion zone and not for ULEZ as my earlier post suggested. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Lexusgs430: 10:22am On Aug 11, 2023 |
Adebayo82: I already told you to just pay this charge, before it starts to multiply........ You CANNOT contest it....... |
