Hey guys, I came to the UK last year on a student visa. I’m finishing my program next month

Also I just got married. My husband is a British citizen. Please how soon before I can apply for Indefinite leave to remain. Thanks all!
When you can settle permanently
The earliest you can apply to settle in the UK (called ‘indefinite leave to remain’) is after you’ve lived in the UK for 5 years continuously on a family visa as a partner.

You cannot include time you’ve spent in the UK:

on any other visa
as a fiancé, fiancée or proposed civil partner

This is how I use it: I ask gpt to write me a supporting information using all the job descriptions, person specifications, essential and desirable criteria and I tell it to put my job experience, qualification and certification into consideration.

Hello Elders, for those that have experience with NHS mental health hospitals, which one is better between the under 18 mental health hospitals and the adult mental health hospitals please? I have an opportunity to take up an offer as a nursing assistant at any of the two. Thank you.
You need a thick skin to work in under 18 mental health hospital. Set boundaries and be professional with them always ‘cos they can be quite manipulative and deceitful.

There’s older adult, over 65 - similar to care home.

Young Adult, 18 - 65 - is quite okay but don’t forget to be professional always.

Hi Hi,

For the AMEX users here, pls what's the best way to make repayment ? do you use bank account (direct debit) or manually go online to pay via debit card?
Direct debit.

- To avoid missing your payment due date

- DDs on your file is good for credit history

Guys,
I'm expecting COS. Can I go ahead and apply for ECCTIS certificate without COS?
As in, do I need to upload COS to complete ECCTIS application?
Yes. Apply.



No, you don’t.

Bro, is this how it is done now, or are you suggesting that is what Ecctis would possibly do?
Based on recent application I’ve seen.

Yes.

Your case might be different.

Just have it at the back of your mind.

Guys how does ecctis work now?

Can I upload my documents ( transcript, English letter and certificate) myself when applying

OR

The university would have to send the documents to Ecctis themselves.
With increase in wave of fake documents uploaded,

Ecctis will instruct you to send your documents over to them through your University ( sealed n stamped)

If you mean, Can healthcare assistant, band 3 role be sponsored, it’s a Yes. But then again, it depends on the Trust. Some may decide not to sponsor but not because the role cannot be sponsored. They will have their reasons for not sponsoring.

Threshold should be btwn £21730 - £23177 depending on the number of years of experience.
NHS Scotland is £25,468 - £27,486

Thanks elders...

I Requested for my pay slip (which they have never given me before) and I have not gotten a clear response though they agreed to prepare all of it but I am scared they might just doctor it like inec

I thought I should add this too
Please elders I also need una advise... is it possible to double check if I was truly taxed? Via pay slip or are there means to verify this claim.

Thanks for all the efforts and input
Download the HMRC app & create an account

Since it’s your only Job, you can view your past and upcoming payslips.

Payslip cannot be doctored

See my friend keep quiet if you don't know what you are saying, if you have it easy in life most people don't.
You’ll rather throw insults at a total stranger online instead of writing a petition to UKVI to increase working hours.

Rules are rules irrespective of your economic status/background.

Nigerians will blatantly flout orders, then shout racism/blame the devil when it’s time to face the consequence.

Then goto church/mosque for thanksgiving or share testimony

This is why NIG. Politicians will continue to steal without fear of retribution.

Or police man demand for bribe without fear of being fired

It’s not racism.

Even black escorts don’t want black men.

Usually because of violence and aggression.

Good day elders,
Please for those that have applied for IHS refund.
My spouse has worked in the Health care industry for the past one year and about to apply for the IHS refund.
Can she include the children as well? (knowing that the children dont have payslips to show)?


Thanks in advance for the responses cheesy
Refund will apply automatically to you and the children once you include their IHS number.

Good evening family!

How are we doing?

Please does anyone know any bookshop that majors in fairly new/ used Christian books in England, preferably East England or London? I want to build my Spiritual library again here without going the way of amazon.

I know in Naija, we usually see these books displayed on the floor at popular junctions and sell cheap too.

Biko help my life and my ministry.


Please oooo
Check Charity shops around you.

Usually between 50p (paperback) to £2 (hardcover)

Question2:
Please guys, I need urgent help for these questions.
My wife is an MSc Nursing student but she has gotten a job offer as a Health Care Assistant. The company has given her COS for visa application. She still wants to keep schooling, she will be graduating next year September. The company has no problems with her schooling and working. My questions are these:
1, We (my wife, myself and my daughter) have only lived in UK for 7 months, are we going to need proof of fund?

Yes.

But check the COS, possible the company might have ticked YES for maintenance.


2. The proof of fund for the three of us is in my account, must I transfer it to my wife's account (the main applicant)?

The primary applicant - your wife

3. Do we need need to pay IHS, since the job is in the health care sector?

No IHS - health and care visa


4. Apart from COS, Job offer Letter, Marriage certificate, BRP, Birth certificate and Passport. Is there any other document that we may need?

JOINT proof of address

5. After conversion from student to working visa, and she finally graduates next year and gets a job with NHS in the hospital, hope she can switch from NHS working visa and will they start afresh to count for us towards application for indefinite stay, since we must have spent about 18 months to 20 months already.

She can switch, the count continues

Any other using information for switching from student visa to health care working visa will be appreciated. Please, guys we need help to these questions.

The OP is on student visa.

Immigration skills charge doesn’t apply if the company is sponsoring an applicant on tier 4 visa.
