Hello my sweet friends.

I'll be in london come sept. Some things are confusing me.

1) if a job employs me, lets say virgin for example, and they sponsor me, and i land another job with another employer, can i use the sponsorship of the previous employer to keep working for the new employer? Or the previous employer will revoke their sponsorship?


2) do i need a transit visa to tour the city of doha. I have a layover at doha airport qatar. And its over 7hr layover. I'd like to tour nearby places at the city. I even heard there is a free tour right from the airport. Who has explored this before

3) what's the best network to use that is reliable and fast in terms of internet connection. I dont mind the fee

Thats what i want to ask my friends.
1. No you can’t. You need to get a another COS from the new employer.

3. Depends on your location, but I’ll suggest EE

Hi, I need a babe in Manchester o. Nigerian lady ready to settle in less than 2 years, who is also in Manchester. I will be relocating to Manchester in October
Settle down in Manchester first, then start attending your local church/mosque. Notify your imam/pastor about your intention to settle down within the next 2 years.

Don’t forget to invite Lexusgs430, Justwise and co as the chairmen on the high table.

Put me in charge of drinks and food.

Happy married life in advance

Thank you icon8 for your input, I know mostly the care work visa is 3 years or 5 years and you need to work for that employer, switching role or job means the 5 years route will reset.
The question is, would corporate employer be willing to employ with Care visa?
How would I be able to convince employer that I am still relevant in my profession with care job? Those are my thinking really.
You can switch, it won’t reset.

You can even combine the following visa categories with your Tier 2 to complete the 5 years needed for ILR

Many people have pointed this out but also to support that this information is wrong. Please lets be careful of what we share here instead, lets put our statement like questions so that we can get our fact rights
If you believe a statement is wrong, the burden of proof is on you to provide the opposing “correct” statement.

6 months experience requirement yeah?

Out of curiosity, if one used a virtual, disposable card like on Monzo for the payment, will the funds still go back to the account?
UKVI will attempt the refund to the card/account. If it bounces, you’ll receive a mail from ukvi to provide an account in your name.

Just ensure you still have access to the email used to register on gov.uk

You can as well contact the department in charge

Our £20 iptv is streaming effortlessly here oooo. I mean the premier league games. The only thing is that during game time, It didn’t work with my broadband (Virgin) I had to use my phone hotspot and it worked fine. I just watched Man U game now tongue, waiting to watch my team (City grin)
Could it be that internet providers are actively blocking the service just before the match ?

it works well but with Express VPN.. you can stream all matches on Bein sport too
Perhaps this(VPN) might be a viable solution

Please guys I have an urgent question that needs answer. Can I do the police certificate anywhere else except Lagos?

@Justwise
Yes, you can. BUT your file will still be sent to LagosHQ for further processing.

Some state Hq might refer you to lagos or charge you extra for sending to lagos.

terrible network. Network fluctuating every now and then. This is from my personal experience around SE London. I can't wait for this contract to end so I can opt out.
Three is just like Glo, location dependent.

Three is always on 5G at home. Blazing fast like wild fire.

Based on my experience, Three is hardly reliable in densely populated area like city centers and metropolis.

If you're on a skilled work visa, (and/or health and care visa- not completely sure), if you take up a second job, and you're working more than 20hours, you need sponsorship. REGARDLESS of the employer
Balance me real quick, are you suggesting working for two sponsorship jobs ?.

Do you mind posting an official link to back this up ?

I’d love to learn.

Good evening all,

I just had my son in Canada, the mum is PR holder there and the son is entitled to a Canadian passport but we hold a work visa here in the UK.
Can my son come with the Canada passport and convert to the work visa when he arrives or needs to apply from Canada? Thanks for the answers
This is tricky, permit me to brainstorm with you cheesy

Canada passport can spend up to 6 months visa free in the UK.

But can’t switch to skilled visa on visit visa.

Unless there’s an “exception” rule you’ll most likely need to apply outside the uk. With these home office delays, you’ll probably spend another 1 month plus waiting for visa.

Plz have a reread of what you posted again mayB I'm the one not comprehending right, the minimum requirement is 5 years and if within that 5 years there is any gap up to 6 months you must provide proof, I don't thin this means you can get it within 6 months of arriving in the UK fresh!
PS I think I have to re read and adjust all what I post so as not to come across rude as I have been told on here which by the way is not a true reflection of my post, all I post is for information purpose only.
No need for back and forth.

One thing you should know right now is that SECURITY INDUSTRY AUTHORITY via GOV.UK is handing out badges to people with less than 3 - 6 months stay in the UK provided you have all the required documents (NPF police character certificate inclusive).

you either don't know what you are talking about or just imagining things.
Mi5 you have to be a British. so if you are a commonwealth citizen you would have at least 10 years in the Uk already B4 Being British
SIA badges requires you to have 3 years in the Uk and b4 one has right to do security job and your vetting for security officer is 3 years that for door man is 5 years and for you to do these jobs you must have the rights to work which takes more than 5 years so where is the need for 9ja vetting?
Airport jobs same thing go your vetting periods are 3 to 5 years which you would have spent in the Ul already
Probation service this one off me, you cannot be a probation officer without having a 1st degree in probation service once again we know how long that takes in the Uni
Met police like UKBA is a reserved job for British citizens .
Look you guys should stop assumptions or giving misleading advice to guys on here.
The minimum requirement for met police/police Scotland is indefinite leave to remain. Not necessarily British passport.

You’re probably working with outdated information.

You need to keep up with recent developments.

The bolded is either incorrect or outdated information
You can get your SIA badge even if you’re under 6 months in the UK.



Criminal record
You need to pass our criminal record checks.

If you live outside the UK, or you have spent 6 continuous months or more outside the UK in the last 5 years, you need to provide evidence of overseas criminal record checks.

It’s usually DBS/PVG + Nig. police character certificate

I don’t have enough info about SIA to speak freely on it.

I might have to disagree with you on this. Look at the following real life instances.

1. Mr A couldn’t complete his SIA application until he presented “police character certificate”

2. Miss T was asked to produce a police character certificate before she can complete her NHS onboarding/documentation process.

3. Police character certificate is one of the core documents needed by a certain mental health agency before you can start working with them.

This is an outright untruth.
NO WHERE in the UK will Tier-4 students get COUNCIL HOUSES.

The writer of this fallacy simply chose to pull the wool on the faces of vulnerable individuals by deliberately creating the (false and wrong) impression that Council House = Housing Association. The two are not the same.
Did you bother to check my subsequent posts where I reiterated and emphasized on housing association.

Why not calm your raging nerves and adjust your point view.

I live in Scotland and have dealings with a few local authorities. I’m very sure you are not eligible for council housing if you are subject to immigration control. Housing association is different though as anyone can access this.
Hence my emphasis on housing association(still loosely referred to as council house).

You’re just capping with confidence. Stop misleading people.
Council house/social housing is NOT public funds. It’s not free. It’s low cost housing offered to low income earners. We’ve discussed this issue months ago.

The bolded is NOT misleading. I suggested housing association cos it’s easier to get an apartment from them compared to the local council. Seem you’re not familiar with this topic and you just wanna jump on it.
Homelessness support is public funds and the only exception to this.

NRPF: no recourse to public funds.

Please, can a salary of 18-19k qualify for a skilled worker visa. The position is for a medical laboratory assistant and the post says those requesting sponsorship can also apply. I am confused because it is lower than the required rate from gov dot UK and I have been coming across similar vacancies.

Qualifies if it pays at least £10.10 per hour
