₦airaland Forum

Good evening,

I am seeking assistance, as I've been actively applying for IT jobs. While I have received offers from certain agencies, I had to decline them due to the nature of the positions. I was advised that having a UK-based company that I can use as reference could enhance my job prospects. With 10 years of IT experience in Nigeria, I would greatly appreciate any help or guidance that someone can provide.

Your BRP will come, it might still be in the post. They don't send both together, though I'd expect the BRP would arrive first. I wouldn't be too stressed yet, hopefully you have a digital copy. You should be able to use a share code to prove your right to live/right to work.

yes,I have digital copy and share code.I'm just worry.I'm thinking maybe I should go to post office

Its over 3 weeks now.

Hello,

I need your advice as an international student. A few weeks ago, I applied for a provisional license, and as part of the verification process, I was asked to send my BRP (Biometric Residence Permit) card along with the application. I have received my provisional driver's license, but I still haven't received my BRP card. Despite my efforts to contact both Royal Mail and DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency), I haven't received any helpful information.

Could you please advise me on how to resolve this issue? What is the process for applying for a replacement BRP card or what steps do I need to take?

Amarathripple0:
I thought you said your accomodation was sorted Lol. Anyway, check out the following sites, and don’t pay for anything before you or someone else views the space.
https://www.rightmove.co.uk/
https://www.zoopla.co.uk/
https://www.onthemarket.com/
https://m.spareroom.co.uk/ (For singles and shared spaces but some allow couples to stay in)

You could also ask on your university’s Facebook page if someone has an apartment to rent. Goodluck!

yes ,my accommodation is sorted.But some of my coursemates are looking for accommodation.

Solumtoya:
I'm in Newport now. You have to drop this your 6 figure talk though o, if you wanna embark on this journey o.

.lol,thank

Please anyone in Newport or somewhere close to Newport that can help with accommodation?

dustydee:
hi,
Short answer is : It is possible.
Your dependent will have to get a very good high paying job while you also work to support the family. For example, if your spouse gets a job paying ~ £55k, their take home will be around £3080. You can choose to save all of it while surviving on your 20hr a week job.
On your followup question on earnings after school. Again, it is very possible but both of you need good paying jobs. Once a child is involved, it becomes harder.

.

Thanks

jedisco:
Not true.

Many folks who were earning well into 6 figures in Nigeria knew they made the right choice the day they received their first UK paycheck. This includes myself.

As a student, it's quite different. He has to see the big picture and plan towards quick career growth.

.

But is the figure realistic after am done with school.?

kode12:
Six digits is a wide range. N100,000 is 6d. N999,999 is also 6d so maybe if you go over/under a figure it might help others. However, speaking in general terms this system doesn't allow you to have that much disposable cash unless you're extremely frugal and earn way above average. Based on ONS stats median weekly pay is £640. That's before tax and NI, if you factor those in your weekly take home would amount to c. £512. Factor in your rent, utilities, council tax, childcare costs(if any),travel costs etc. and you'll have an idea what's going to be left.
Obviously if you're earning senior manager levels salary, you're a software developer, IT consultant or maybe a GP, you'd be far above the median pay, but just coming from Nigeria you're not going to earn near such figures. You have to look at UK with the "whole-package" perspective, to make it make sense i.e. better security, generally better standard of living, better prospects for your kids, ability to use the UK as a launchpad to move to other countries etc. If you make a like-like comparison solely on the basis of pay or savings I don't think many would make the move.

Thanks

If both of you come here with a child or have one here you will be lucky to save even £300 a month.

You save that much if your wife works full time making around £4000-5000 a month while you work part time bringing in around £800-£1000 a month.

Its a good thing that you are asking this question now before leaving Nigeria though, it prepares you for journey ahead and not to have imaginary expectation

Thanks for the feedback

jum33:
Let me tell u the real truth,if you making 6 figures in nigeria and living comfortable and you come to uk ,your first few month you will regret your actions.

Hmm. Thanks for the feedback.

babajeje123:
It is not possible for a student with a dependant to be saving that amount in a month, not when you can't work more than 20 hours as a student. Even if your spouse is taking £5k per month after tax and NI deduction, your rent, bills and accomodation will take large chunk of the earning. The good thing is things get better as journey on and don't put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Come and LIVE in the UK.

Thanks

justwise:
Do you have kid(s) or planning to have anytime soon?

Planning to have soon. Just got married last year.

Amarathripple0:
I think you should focus on asking questions that will give you a soft landing in the UK based on you and your wife’s skills and career trajectory, accomodation, managing bills, building a credit profile, investing, etc as opposed to looking at saving money that is unrealistic to save in the first few months of your arrival here as a student.

.Thanks for your feedback. Accommodation is already sorted out.Thanks for the advice

Na wa oh. All these saving £3k monthly, this is the second time someone is mentioning that figure in the past couple of days. Seems FG is now setting savings targets for the japa gang in Nigeria .

Nothing like setting a target.As u can see I said I'm making 6 digits.I just want to have idea how much we can be saving considering how much am making in Nigeria. So that i won't regret my move. Thanks

Happy new year. Please I need a sincere advice for my next move.I got admission to southwales for Feb intake . I'm making 6 digits monthly here in Nigeria.I have a wife.As a Student with dependent is it possible for both of us to be saving like 3k pounds in a month.

Still available?
