That’s the new rule except he gets a job in the nhs
It's not yet in black and white yet. There are several grey areas that awaits clarity. It's speculation for now if people will be asked to leave the UK

It’s not correct. ILR eligibility is calculated based on time that a person has worked in the UK, and their salary over the period and at the time of application. Number of employers is irrelevant.

This ILR calculator can also be of help to check eligibility

So much uncertainty. Will this new rule affect renewals for care visa? Will they ask every dependent to leave the country by march? Omo, this one choke oo

Don't you have to prove you're the primary caregiver?
That is only if either parent has a settled status otherwise, a child born non settled parents I.e skilled worker or student will either be a skilled worker child dependent or student child dependent

Your question is not clear but for clarity if you must be sponsored either new or renewing outside the healthcare care sector salary must be almost 39k per year
This is wrong. Health care workers are exempt from the minimum salary threshold for sponsorship

People already here and on a work visa.

Someone who is here, but not already on a care visa, will face the same restrictions as someone applying out of country from next year because the statistics do not make the distinction between those who applied for a work visa in the UK Vs outside the UK. It counts work visas the same way.
The verified home office twitter page talks about overseas care workers bringing family. Its still confusing if its within or outside.

Even if you’re inside you are still seen as an overseas worker
Okay thanks for Clarifying

Yes,

Anyone requiring a care visa, both in and outside the UK, would be classed as an overseas/foreign care worker
Okay thanks for clarifying

Immigration in the uk? Everyone is in the same bucket both inside and outside.
I understand but as him no talk all careworkers instead of saying overseas care workers. But it's okay. No lele

Although health care workers are exempt from the salary threshold increase, they are the only cohort who are now no longer allowed to include any dependants on their visa.

Also the new requirement for an agency or care home to be regulated/aka scrutinised by the CQC will lead to an effective cap on the number of cos/care visas that will be granted
Does the ban on care dependents include those already in UK. Cause he used the word overseas care workers. Is that generic for everyone both in and outside the UK?

Should be your starting point and not the destination ...and upskilling for better jobs remains the point

wink
Don't reason it that way. You can build a career in care by gathering experience and doing the relevant certifications. If you fail to upskill in your office based role, your growth may also be hindered. So upskilling shouldn't be limited to care jobs. Let everyone decide their final destination based on their choice, competence and passion and not based on other people's perception or external pressure. 😃

hilarious back and forth....a whole lot of hypocritical bullcrap, but this takes the cake.

Others only stated some of the hazards of care work which include cleaning poo, vomit, urine etc and other unsavoury bodily excrements, hazards, but they did not denigrate the profession.

See your hypocrisy in 3d now🤣

Make e pain you from now to infinity, some will never ever want to do that and they are well within their rights not to, but you accused them of denigrating it, buy choosing to do anything else but that specific work. Does a personal disdain for a career or job translate to an attack on it? I may not want to be a carer, but would rather work in a factory or ride okada. Does that simple detail/difference make sense to you now?.

Oga hypocritical bullcrap, learn to comprehend before writing, it will do you a lot of good trust me. Its like d thing touch you as a factory worker but why should it? As hard as the job may be, factory work is noble and puts good food on the table of many. Its fine. Do your job with pride, let me do my care job with pride. We can all aspire to greater heights, irrespective of where we find ourselves today.

You will be fine, Trust me. life isn't so deep, even though you tend to look at it in 3D

So that justifies the insult directed at factory workers? I’ve never seen any posts by anyone insulting Health care workers but here you are, doing worse than what you are supposedly fighting against.
You have never seen any post denigrating care workers. You still dey find evidence? Dey play. By the way I only stated some of the hazards of factory work and did not denigrate it. Hustle is hustle.

Man! Some of you lot are just hypocrites. This same Hustla, I’ve seen him talk about working in Support, this same guy, when a lady spoke about 2 opportunities, both in HealthCare and Tech, he advised her to go for the one she’s passionate about. This same guy has posted a number of times about Care jobs with visa sponsorship. But here you are, insulting factory workers but crying fowl that someone said one should not stay in care for long. You even went as far as repeating the same thing he said about rising into management positions by skilling up. But you want to shit on him so bad that you would rather not think but instead move to insults. Such a shame.
Go and read about his previous posts on care jobs. He is speaking from both sides of his mouth.

undecided

If you like, cry from now till tomorrow, except for those who came on COS visa, no Nigerian with a MSc degree should be aspiring to do care and clean someone's behind for 7 years...as a hustle to gather fees, maybe YES.. but for 7 yrs?

If your mindset is stuck on doing care for 7 years, thats up to you... the problem definitely isnt me

The point is that care is not the only means to an end; there is construction and the likes. Even in care, you can upskill (NVQ etc) and get to managerial positions or go on to clinical ones / nursing etc but thing is, lots of people do not upskill and remain stuck in that care home mindset for years on end, not moving up, not moving down. I have met lots of people like that


Everyone should take advice as they see fit. I was on the student thread a while ago when justwise was advising students to plan ahead for fees and settling in. The same students who were arguing and insulting justwise got into the UK and started defaulting on fees, getting withdrawn from school, etc
Another one now is rent money being dead money, which to someone who thinks deep is reasonable... but given circumstances of. status etc, it may take a while to get to the mortgage level but still .... na vex and argument cheesy

Last last, everyone with what they like

Jah epp us all grin
Just look at how you are ranting

Same person denying that no one has ever said care work is useless is now here spewing trash about the care profession. Is this not hypocrisy at its peak? Even nurses give bed pan to patients and do assist carers in attending to difficult residents. So nurses shouldn't work in a care facility as well?

A carer's role isn't all about personal care. Carers also give medication and many also learn to prepare care plans which is essential to becoming a manger or getting a more senior role.

You should be the one crying not me. You wey dey hustle factory work that breaks back, yet you spew trash about other people's job. If the people you know are stuck in care jobs for 7 years with no growth, its your damn business. It isn't surprising after all, all of una na hustlas as your moniker implies. People I know who started from care have risen to become care managers and owners of care companies. They earn very well and have huge investments both in the UK and Nigeria.

So focus on your lebuke or offloading of trailers and let others be. In a couple of years, they would have earned transferable skills for other roles outside care or would have grown in their profession while chilling as Permanent residents and you with your broken back from your lebuke will be hustling from one company to another for sponsorship.

Awon evidence crew, here you go

Well, the way people interprete things differ. Care to me is one kain cos I know for sure no one left Nigeria with a degree and wants to clean someone else's poo for 7 years

Far as I know, no one denigrated care work; we just say its too stressful for the pay it offers (99% of the time).

Most people have said you can get NVQs and upskill even within the care work or work within MH support within the NHS instead of the one that involves personal care (which is somehow to be honest)

There are better jobs out there if we can stop the care work fixation with care work is all that has been said

Plenty fight and back and forth over this is not necessary

You don't read words in isolation.

The very first paragraph of your screenshot talks about supporting parents to get back into work after parental leave. Your highlights seem to support that and not necessarily what you think.

It is best to read through and be sure there are no NRPF restrictions, mere use of working parents does not automatically make one meet the eligibility criteria
