I am currently in same shoes and I am so tired of waiting and left blank.... please , what was the last email you received from them ? Or can you share your contact let's talk over the phone and share ideas.... been here not doing anything for a while now and it's actually crazy
Have you tried checking your “right to work” status on gov.uk ?

The correct status might be on your right to work page.

You can convince respective agencies that it’s an error on the BRP

Asking for a friend,

Person got a job offer in a company but they are not a sponsor.

Nigerians in Glasgow seem to be increasing this year! Interesting…
At least once or twice a week, I get to help new comers ( naija/ghana) with navigations at various bus stops.

Glad we’re increasing in number.

Heartburn grin

The Scottish English(mostly by uneducated locals) and the Scottish accent (queens English but with an accent) are similar but different…. The former is a serious headache.

You can buy your bus ticket(week, month, year) from the FIRST BUS/Mcgills/stagecoach app.

Good morning people,
I applied for my NI immediately I got my brp 2 days after I got into London. I used my hotel address hoping it'll be ready just like the brp (I never knew that was not a good one.) I applied on Feb 5 and I have left the hotel since Feb 8. I was told it'll be ready in 16 weeks so I was chilling. Not until a friend who entered last week got his own yesterday.
I called the hotel immediately to confirm if they received any package on my behalf and they said no. Please, how do I track to know it has been delivered, or if not, how can I change the delivery address to my new address. People I asked said it should have been delivered by now.
Please I need help. I got a job through a referral but I couldn't push through because NI was requested.

Pls help...
Call the number

Telephone:
0300 200 3500

Visit hmrc.co.uk/NI

Another letter will be sent to your new address

It's quite interesting to read that racist locals can be an issue in that part of scotland. I'm curious to know if this is peculiar to Paisley. I have always found the Scots and Irish to be the most accommodating of all four nations. Infact, Glaswegians are the most friendliest of all.

There's bound to be dredge of society everywhere, but I'm yet to have a single racist encounter in over 10years of living scotland. I experienced racism living in three cities in England over a period of 7years before relocating to scotland.
It’s usually the inner paisley anyways… PA3 - PA5 post code areas. Uneducated locals that hardly visit Glasgow center.

Would be relocating to Paisley, Scotland. Anyone living there, would appreciate any feedback especially in terms of housing, social life, cost of living, diversity and the accent. Thanks
Housing - pretty economical ( £500 - £600 )for 3 bed

Social life - almost zero asides from UWS hostel parties and boring pubs

Diversity- ready to deal with “racist” locals

Accent - pretty thick if you’re new.

Thanks Chreze for always having me in mind.
I appreciate the all responses (Healthyliving, Umarwy and Pearlyfaze) on my issue. I cherished the sincere advices.

I am already working out on keeping the kids here but will like to give more insight.

My 16yr kid will turn 17 by April and was in final class in Nigeria b4 we moved. He is expected to register for WAEC latest tomorrow, write WAEC & JAMB before June. I have not be able to secure permanent accommodation yet and all my kids are not back to school after 3wks in Scotland. I am just thinking allowing him to return will give additional opportunity to possibly apply to any other university/college outside UK. I know that will be at a cost.

The house search is causing me serious stress and making it difficult to take a clear decision.
Book an appointment with paisley housing association, tollcross housing association and springburn HA. You should be able to get a place.

Good Evening Everyone, hope we are all having a wonderful day.

A friend just told me something that I have not been able to confirm officially anywhere and i would appreciate clarity. While I am well aware that your family must be in UK to be eligible to apply for the post study visa route, He said that they must be residing in the UK not less than 6 MONTHS to the planned date of application and sent some youtube videos to back it up.

I haven't seen anything like that in the government sites concerning durations and so I decided to bring it here for more information. How long is officially required as stay period before application?
Not true.

Dependants must be in the UK at least 24hours before you apply for POST STUDY. Then, you apply together.

Dear Ancestors una dọọ.

So it's this difficult to get a house in Edinburgh than getting a job.
Entered on the 19th December 2021.

Gotten three job offers. 2 Care jobs and Customer Service Advisor with ILOYD Bank.

Only one house viewed and I do not like it.

Dear Ancestors How do I get our own accommodation bikonu help your brother. School dey resume on Monday and I don't have where to stay so the children can start school.
Took someone I know 2 months to get a place.

Housing is a big issue in Scotland right now

Newcomers no suppose get choice when it comes to accommodation. Secure one first, sign a 3-6 months contract, switch to another later.

Good evening,

I applied to the University of South Wales and got my CAS today, but I feel they made a mistake on the English Course Grade section because I applied using NECO SSCE. Instead they wrote WAEC WASSCE.

Please, anyone who got their CAS and applied using NECO should help clarify.
Send a mail to the CAS team for correction
