Chaiiiii…. Lucky you 😂😂. I’m sure they also advised you not to come to the Uk then.

No one advised against studying there. I already knew I was heading to the UK before finishing my undergrad degree as the postgraduate program I wanted to go in for (Msc.Clinical Child Psychology) was offered by only one school in the UK.

Thank you so much for your guide... come and see what God has done!
Glory to God in the highest!!!!

My 10+ years old son just got his child dependant visa. Though I applied for him and his 17+ years old brother but his brother is yet to receive his visa. We are waiting anxiously....
Application was on 17th jan and my 10+plus years old son visa was approved 18th according to the letter and we are only receiving this letter today.
We are praying to God this week my older son will get his visa too.

You have just made it clear.

Proper preparation prevents poor performance.

The story you're being told before coming to the UK is different from the reality.

Although it pays off in the long run.

This is my first ever post on nairaland and I will like to be honest with colleagues on this page,

In as much that I can't discourage people from legal migration to the UK, because we are in a free world. But, I can give some free advice based on my personal experience in the UK.

However, if you are coming on a study visa route. Note the following

1) Remember you are alone without dependant.

2) I beg you to ensure you carry 70%-80% of the balance of your school fees with you.

3) Lower your expectations

4) If you get job (20 hour per week) is nothing, remember you are alone. No combine income for you. If you do more hours, the payment/number of hours is linked to your NI and they will know.

5) Technically you can get your school fees back while on study visa no more. (As at last year, it is possible cos dependant will push more hours for combine income). But not anymore.

6) It is a serious immigration offence when you applied for next visa (PSW or tier 2). Someone just got his psw visa denied cos of 4 extra hours.

7) You can't change visa status until you finish your program.

Please note as at today the current exchange rate of Lemfi app is 1670 Naira/ £.

9) Make sure you are loaded with Naira for pounds exchange.

Am not saying coming to UK is bad, am saying be prepared, and it is a long term investment.

My take.

The story of no job, the high exchange rate, the no dependant. So people should keep their money or look elsewhere that are cheaper.. Eastern Europe etc.

Actually the job issue.
I have been applying since 5 days now.
Cleaning position, care, warehouse
The only response I got from a recruiter on cleaning and he asked for DBS I sent. Said he only need someone staying 45 minutes to the location after giving him my post code.
Watin concern am if I stay just one hour. My own is it not to come to do clearning by 8am which I can wake up 5:30am even if it's snowing and leave by 10am daily. Which in one hour I should be there.

I just tire.. I sleep on indeed than reading my books Walahi

Look into part time roles as a residential children support worker with NO EXPERIENCE though I know it is very hard to get but if you get it, the sailing would get smoother.

OK thanks.

I have been applying for dormicilliary care with no experience. Care support with no experience etc

If you are not selective with jobs. You can also try downloading indeed flex app for Sainsbury's Replenishment Assistant jobs around you. Am a Dr with long years of professional experience as a chemical Scientist/ Process Chemist in Germany. I didnt have a stable job until after 3 months. There is dignity in labour in the uk. It took me about 3 months to get a stable, permanent and professional job in the UK. U will be fine, I understand the frustration, the pressure from people even at home and how stressful it is. Keep pushing.

When you apply always include the length of your visa. Employers doesn't want to hire someone with short visa or someone that need visa sponsorship.

Please note, am using Global Talent work visa, and I don't and will never need visa sponsorship (including my dependent in the UK) however my wife came to the UK before me (on study visa). Am also feeling the heat cos she wasn't allow to switch to my dependent visa except we finish paying all school fees and after she completed her studies. That's why am
also affected. The best is yours

Do one have to be in the tech space to be eligible for the global talent visa?

Nooooo, you dont need to be a techy. Am not in a tech space, u just have to be highly recognised in your field. If you a have a PhD, it's a plus for you.

Was sent an interview invite for this but I was thinking to shenk them cos of children wahala

Whats the role like in reality?

justwise:
[/b]

You will understand better when you come here with little or no money. If you have 20M right now in Nigeria don't risk it coming to the UK.

Think carefully what to do with your money. Basically if you don't have what it takes to study in the UK then don't waste the little you have.

This is an interesting point of view

adubam:

You think everyone that goes to UK go there to tie their destiny? We go for vacation and come back Biko.

Travelling to the west for vacation from people who think like you in some wierd and twisted way doesn't sit right with me

You are taking money from a broke country to go enrich an alreddy rich country

How about spending such money on our fellow third world countries that are great "tourist" destinations ?

Just a thought

Yes, children and young persons get wahala but if u go fit chest am, the future is bright.

The role expects you to act as a professional parent to the child/young person in residence. If you are doing the day shift which in most places is 12 hours long and starting by taking over from the night shift staff at 8a.m. The day staff see to it that young person wakes up and have their shower then breakfast as many of those young ones living in care do not attend regular schools, there are arrangements for tutors to one-on-one take them on some subjects which many homes prefer to be done at the nearest library, the support worker who drives would take the young person to the library using the home's vehicle and go sit at a corner of the library while the young person learns.

Daily routine check in the home involves recording the freezer and fridge temperature, tap water temperature, checking there is no out of date food in the fridge and if any, must be put in the trash bin, count the sharps (knives, scissors, pizza cutter, ligature etc) that are always locked in a box and safely kept inside the manager's office which one of the bedrooms in the home serves as, count the money that is in a safe in the office that has cash for the home expenditure, the young person's weekly pocket money, haircut/salon money, activity money, cash rewards earned for cleaning their bedrooms, personal hygiene, helping out in the home, clothing money etc.

Also count and record the medication in the medicine box, make sure all the fire extinguishers are in the different location of the house as expected. Cook meals for yourself and the young ones, while encouraging them to help out in the kitchen so they can learn from you, how to handle things in the kitchen. Movie nights, staff and the young persons go out to the cinema to watch movies, for those registered with a gym or sports academy, staff accompanies the young person.

For a home for only one young person (teenager), about 8 workers do their full time shifts in that home.

There are lots of trainings that would be offered and one get enrolled into the apprenticeship system to obtain Level 3 Diploma in residential childcare and working with young persons, paid for by the UK government. When one achieves Level 5, then becoming a registered home manager becomes closer and the pay is GOOD!

Thanks for the explanation. Used to do exactly this at a YP Supported Living some time ago but they were 17 - 19 year olds. Ill look into it

How tough is the L5 Cert? I think the L3 one wont be that difficult but a bit costly

If I will remain in healthcare as backup plan, I would not like to be a bottom feeder. Make man do Mgr roles collect better kishi

It is children social care sector and you have to work in the homes and climb the ladder: Residential support worker-Senior residential support worker-Team leader-Assistant home manager-Registered home manager and a smart person can achieve all these by end of his/her of 5 years skilled worker visa.

The beautiful thing is that residential children homes are money spinners, becoming a registered home manager you can set up your own homes.....each YP in residence, properly managed and meeting all Ofsted regulations, can get you 5 figure profit per month, that is why Zimbabweans are controlling the industry.

So, I cant run Managerial stuff from the Residential support worker one? Been there like 2 years as a student and Im not a skilled worker visa yet. Going to see how it goes after 1 year on PSW first to try my hands at my preferred tech pathway

I'm interested in the money spinning part abeg . Is it easy to register? I have seen a couple of Ghanaian guys there
