Britain needs foreign students. I would argue this is a major pillar of our economy. I wish Leadsom had won. Even though she was a Brexiter she understood economics more. She may eventually have realised more immigration is needed when given the facts.

''Theresa May’s new government is preparing the ground for a fresh crackdown on immigration amid concerns that universities have become an easy route into Britain for migrants who want to work.

The Prime Minister has backed calls to restrict student visas so that only the brightest and best can come to study at reputable universities in Britain.

As Home Secretary she took action to close down “bogus” colleges and to limit visas for students coming to study some further education courses.

But Mrs May’s team believe further restrictions on international students could significantly help to reduce net migration.''

My brother,I need to calculate and make mock forecast before jumping on a plane na. I really wanna complete my masters before settling down.

No chance in hell for that to happen, time spent in school doesn't count towards citizenship. The only way for him to become a citizen within that time frame is to abandon the schooling altogether, and then go for the marriage option or the British Army option. I know a few of my uni friends from some years ago that got married to white, obese whales (with kids already) whilst studying, they are all citizens now. Everyone knows they got married for the paper, why in the hell will a young, good-looking and promising Nigerian man marry a middle-aged white whale and take over another man's kids?! They are citizens now, but they are all living a rat-race at the moment because they are trapped in the vicious cycle of doing shitty jobs just to sustain their family.

The EU route that people used to exploit by getting married to an EU citizen to bypass UK immigration restrictions would soon be firmly shut now that the UK has voted to leave the EU. I would suggest your friend thinks long and hard about his decision to spend a colossal amount of money and time in the UK with only a degree to show for it at the end.

The picture below are the kind of women in UK that Nigerians marry for paper.

justwise:


The 10 years route through studying here is out of it.

5 years through work permit.

5 years through marriage.

20 years through illegal residency.

If anybody found him/herself in such situation (God forbid), the best thing is to do is to give out ur pin number as requested to avoid been attacked or killed but in reverse e.g. if ur ATM pin code is 1234 just tell them 4321, the ATM machines will still recognise the code as reversed at immediately activate an internal security system which notify the police, and also block ur account immediately after daily withdrawal limit has been reached.

You are mixing it up big brethren. The Graduate Entrepreneurship Visa I am talking about is different.

You can apply for a graduate entrepreneurship visa (tier 1 visa) if you have a solid business plan and you have a Uk recognised Bsc or masters degree. You must Also be endorsed by a Unjveristy that is an authorised endorsing body (not all universities can endorse your business plan). If you are applying in uk it will cost you £465 and £342 outside UK.

All you need to show in your bank account is £945 of inside UK or £1,890 if outside Uk. The money must be in your account for 90 days. They will give you 1 year visa and you can also apply for another 1 year after the initial 1 year visa expires.

This graduate entrepreneurship may be good for masters students who wants to quickly make money for 1 year after their masters before returning to Naija.

But the condition is you must have a string business plan, your school must be an authorised endorsing bidy and must have just £945 in your account for 90 days. This is another sure 1 year visa extension route in UK

I just checked now and there are close to 100 UK schools that are part of the authorised endorsing body.

Please guys help me o. I've searched all over the internet and still can't find solution to this.

I have a link (html element), whose ID is automatically generated with PHP. Whenever the link is clicked, i want to insert the ID of the link into my database. The only problem now is how to get the ID.

This is my mock code:

///// The PHP that generates the id:
<?php
$id=(an array of numbers returned from a while loop);
?>


////the html link
<a href='#' onClick='MyId()' id='<?php echo $id ;?>'>Click Me</a>

/// the javascript function
function MyId() {
var ID=document.getElementById( the id of the element generated by php ).id;
}

My question now is how do i get and put the id of the clicked link into variable var ID

105 is standard across all banks. Only quickteller charge 100. NEFT is also 105.

Note: Gtb will send you 3 different sms alert for every instant transfer done, 1 for the amount sent, 1 for 100 charge and another for 5 naira charge, the implecation is that at the end of the month they will still charge you for all the alerts, instead of using just 1 sms like diamond does, they will send you 3 messages which will be charged at the end of the moth.

I was also about saying it is not possible but then i remembered that it is possible to actually do 4 years BSC, and do masters twice (still possible if the second masters is a different field and one can justify that it is of benefit or progress to the individual) and then do PHD (4 years). My brother, 10 years don complete be that o.

OR

4 years BSC, 1 year masters, 4 years PHD and then apply for the extra 1 year you are entitled to as a PHD holder (10 years don complete)

OR

Also, it is possible to do 4 years BSC, apply for graduate entrepreneurship visa (1 year) and then do masters (1 year) and then do PHD (4 years).

OR

Go through college, 2 years HND (must be an embedded college to apply within the UK) , 2 years University, 1 year Masters or even do 16 months Masters , 4 years PHD and another 1 years guaranteed after PHD. My brother, levels go still set

Mehn, the above scenario is crazy. What people do to become citizens, people back home don't just understand. I would rather move to another country than do all this long parol. Imagine how much one would have spent on fees, visa renewals and IHS surcharge and no more established presence (9 months maintenance fees again) for every application o.

But no be everybody get strength to do PHD, na where the problem dey be that. or some won't just have enough funds to go this route.

It is well

To all students who are having trouble because of the fluctuating exchange rate, i think this explains it clearly.

The home office website states that "if you are using overseas currency, we will expect you to show (in writing on your application form) the closing balance in pounds sterling. we use the official exchange rate on the OANDA website. Where your funds are in a currency other than pounds sterling, the amount we consider will be based on the exchange rate for the relevant currency on the date of your application, taken from the rates published on www.oanda.com" source; www.gov.uk (Pages 44&45)

What this means is that the exchange rate that will be used by the home office for the maintenance funds you put in your account for 28 days is the rate as at the date you made the application. Please note that the date of application is the date you made payment online. It is the rate on that particular date that will be used irrespective of if the rate increases before the date of interview.

I think this should give students an idea of what they should work towards.

sunboy:
Well I use both GTB and Diamond.
Gtbank is good because it has more features to offer than other banks, it's more like your mini banks. Almost anything is possible as long as you have a token without stepping to the bank branch.
It is best for Gtb to Gtb transfers too. But Gtb to other banks is full of disappointment virtually everyday there is a delay. Their instant bank transfer takes upto 8hrs or next day at times.

Diamond bank; the sweet bank I use for my business. Sending and receiving to any bank is much sweeter here, instant is really instant with diamond bank and rarely disappoint.
No extra cost of token unlike Gtbank. Best customer service for back up sake.

So depend on what type of transactions you plan to do the most.

The jobs listed on the link I posted are not front-line roles. https://www.army.mod.uk/join/commonwealth_joiners.aspx. The people you know who are on front-line roles might have joined a few years back when those roles were still open to people from the commonwealth. Infantry soldier roles are no longer open to commonwealth applicants.

claremont:


Yes, soldier do get deployed to warzones, but the British Army hasn't been involved in any war since pulling out from Afghanistan. Moreover, the jobs open to commonwealth applicants are not front-line jobs, they are all support roles. I don't think I mentioned anything about being an Officer in my write-up, this is soldier roles only. I have done my time, nothing to prove here. It's up to people to make an informed decision based on the information provided.

Lesson 2: Guaranteed British Citizenship for those with Student visas.

...
JOIN THE BRITISH ARMY. A few jobs have been opened up to commonwealth applicants, and the Army is currently bending over backwards to recruit people from ethnic minority backgrounds.
...
8. The likelihood of you been sent to a ''warzone'' is very negligible. Only special forces are in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan. You will be surprised though at the number of soldiers who actually volunteer to go to these zones.

Was never planning on paying full, just 50% will do at least for my visa sake. Just praying the flexible CBN rate doesn't shift the pound from 287 official rate to above 300

I envy a friend of mine who works as a locum doctor in the NHS. He makes a good living earning more than permanently employed doctors doing the same jobs. I have often asked him why he prefers locum, he advised that locum is were the money is. This is someone who makes at least £60 per hour working 12 hour shifts 5 days a week. There was a time when I even considered going back to uni to do the accelerated 4 year medicine degree. To answer your question, there is virtually no unemployment for doctors in UK, and most locum agencies prefer non-UK doctors because they are hardworking and are ready to work unsociable hours.

The government announced changes to the Immigration Rules on 13 July. Many of these affect Tier 4 of the points-based system.

The main changes will:

stop new students at publicly funded colleges from working, bringing them in line with those at private colleges (from August)
allow university students to study a new course at the same level but only where there’s a link to their previous course or the university confirms that this supports their career aspirations. There will be credibility interviews and sanctions against universities who abuse this rule (from August)

ban college students from extending their Tier 4 visas in the UK unless they are studying at an ‘embedded college’, one which has a formal, direct link to a university that is recognised by the Home Office. This will require them to leave and apply for a new visa from outside the UK if they wish to study another course (from November)

ban college students from being able to switch visas to Tiers 2 or 5 in the UK, and require them to apply from outside the UK (from November)

reduce the time limit for study at further education level from 3 years to 2 years. This brings the maximum period into line with the length of time British students generally spend in further education (from November)

stop Tier 4 dependants from taking a low or unskilled job, but allow them to take part-time or full-time skilled work (from the autumn)

Hi all, i have not read much of the previous posts on this thread. Thot I should give some people heads up. For those of you that intend to work in uk after study completion and do not know about changes in rules, it is now very difficult for an Non- EU international student to work in uk after study completion because the govt has made the conditions tough for employers. Do your research.
It is not wise to invest in a country with tight rules when they are other developed countries that are accommodating.
