Thanks so much. I just did exactly what you advice …until I enter the UK and obtain my BRP, then I would be able to generate a share code..

ReesheesuKnack:


From my experience, your HR is being unreasonable (if indeed they are asking for a Right to Work Share code at this stage).

You mean the company interviewed you, you met all their requirements , they issued you Certificate of Sponsorship. You used the CoS to apply for, and got a valid visa. The HR of that same company is asking you for a share code to prove your right to work, even when you’ve not yet resumed work (for them)

This is a strange one to me.

To attempt answering your question:
Write back to the HR, with a copy of the Visa vignette stamped in your passport (if it hasn’t changed recently , the employer code will be clearly visible on the vignette). Tell the HR that the process is:
Visa issued-UK entry-BRP collection-Share code generation.
Simply put: you can’t (successfully) generate a RTW share code without a BRP.

PS: I am a bit of a dinosaur so things may have changed.

If someone is expecting a baby and the Mum is coming for omugwo, can you state that as a valid reason? Will you need to attach MAT B1 etc if that reason is used? Thanks

Viruses:


This is what I used for mine:
She is coming to visit my family including her grandchild(ren) whom she has not seen for over x years since they left Nigeria/were born.

Book tickets for her actual travel dates

People in the past have said they stated the above with no issues. I believe them because it is not illegal. But I would rather say "coming to visit my family including her new born grandchild" or "coming to visit my family including her grandchild who she has not seen since he/she was born". I assume the visit is after birth even if it's one day after. If the visit is before birth, I won't mention the child because how can she visit someone yet unborn?

I don't know what MAT B1 is.

What does TV licence inspectors check when they visit? Any ideas?

Who’s checking the new ticket prices for Lagos to London? Virgin & BA don crash price to stay relevant. What competition cannot do, does not exist

Samguine:


To ticket, Rynair, 28 Pounds. Non-refundable.
Fro, Lufthansa, 89 Euros, about 50% refundable

I've found 2 way ticket for ryanair totally 49 USD from east midland airport o. And the Airport is closer to me than Manchester and London.

God bless Air Peace. Imagine if His Excellency Peter G. Obi was sworn in on May 29, 2023? By now it won't be only Air Peace ruling the skies, Innoson (Nigeria) motors would have been the government official car, modular refineries would have been licensed, National refineries would have been on the way... Most likely some of us here would have stayed back in Nigeria. But it is what it is... We'll eventually get there.

MAT B1 is what you are issued at the hospital to show when the baby will arrive. I mentioned attaching it because she may likely arrive a week before the birth and they may need proof if omugwo is used as the reason. Thanks for your suggestion

Some of you don’t want progress for the country you are simply angry with the country’s present situation just because you are not among those stealing public funds.

....

I doubt there's a negative intent here rather just a HR naive on visa issues as you'd find many employers. Asides experienced HR staff in large NHS Trusts (who do lots of international employment), I have found many other HR staff (and public in general) largely ignorant on visa issues. The HR is likely following a tickbox. I have had to guide HR staff thru some of the visa rules in the past.

IMO, a quick email stating he needs a BRP to generate a share code and can only be issued a BRP after arrival should suffice.

I need your advise my people. I currently get UC and CB due to my visa status (exempt) but now I have moved to tier 2. I was initially afraid my visa would be denied when I applied to change to T2 as I declared on my application that I accessed benefits. But alas, it was successful. Now that I am on T2 I do not know if I can continue to get the UC and CB or I should tell them to stop it. I am four years to ILR. My UK mum told me not to cancel it that they can not deny me of ILR solely because I accessed benefits. She said I could inform them that I would be paying it back in bits during my ILR application. My people I am now at a cross-road on what to do. Will accessing UC affect my ILR application even when my child would have registered as a British by then? Thanks!

There are a number of changes to circumstance DWP expects claimants to report, one of which is a change in immigration status. If your new visa restricts you from public funds, then it is best to notify them officially. If they find out later on, most times,they initiate court proceedings to be able to reclaim the excess money back from claimants.

I'm sure you won't want that considering your ILR in view.

Crossroad between following the law and attempting to cheat the system?

Does your current visa have written on it "No recourse to public funds"?

If so then please take iyatrustee's very good advice. What you are considering/doing is benefits fraud which the government takes very seriously with its own citizens not to mention an immigrant who is required to demonstrate good conduct in order to be granted ILR/citizenship.

Your "UK mum" likely emigrated in 1985 when rules were no where as strict. Does she have a letter from the home office assuring her that they will overlook the breach of your visa conditions when you come to apply for ILR? Because they put in the rules as a joke?

Why on earth would you be claiming UC when you are in employment and on a Tier 2 visa for that matter?! And when such stories end up on Daily Mail, they'll get accused of racial propaganda, when the reality is you know you are not entitled to the funds.

Hi guys,

I have a straightforward question for those that have successfully had a skilled worker visa transfer when changing 'employer' or have a good grasp of it.

What is the cost implication of this process? I have done my research, but nothing beats the experience from others.

Zahra29 et al...

Thanks

Review your employment contract carefully for any pay back clauses.

Someone I know recently had to turn down a job offer because her current employer (whom she had been with for less than 1 year) had stipulated pay back charges of approx £10k which the new company refused to pay.

The tier 2 visa no longer exists. When it was in operation. You had no rights to public funds with it.

@Zahra and pls @everybody does Royal Air Maroc allow dry fish and stock fish to the UK?

Yes. Up to a certain weight. Look on their website.

@Reesheeuknack..I just got a work visa, how, can I generate a share code without BRP and while still outside the UK..my HR asked of it.I plan to enter the UK next week

You must be in the UK with your BRP. Those emails are just a weekly or daily reminder.

Thanks Zahra.

Yes, I have the clause already covered.

That being the case, the only cost implication would then be for the visa transfer application for just me, the main applicant. My dependents don't need to apply.

Thanks
