Accommodation issue here in the UK is more difficult than obtaining visa. Landlords and agents don't want to give houses to peeps just coming in. How can we jump this hurdle? My family and I are still paying huge money in Airbnb. Advice please.

Getting an accommodation no be small thing especially when you have kids ! Check more on open rent to avoid all this agency ! And be ready to begain a 6 month advance deposit fee! That would be your edge

Re getting a job, there are other jobs outside menial and care jobs but it can sometimes take a while to get the kind of jobs that you desire but if making money is an immediate concern, try applying to a mix of jobs. Many people apply to care and/or menial jobs as a springboard to
getting something better.
Use Linkedin, healthjobsUK.com, reed, cv library, google etc. to keep checking for something. You can also volunteer with organisations eg. NHS, charities, your local council etc. to gain experience in the areas of your dream roles.

You need to have private hire taxi insurance to drive for Uber or any other booking app. It forms part of your agreement with Uber. If you drive on your normal car insurance and an incident or accident happens, you will likely have claims repudiated (turned down)

You might also need a special insurance to use your personal car for food deliveries
See below (copied)

It is important to note that your standard car insurance policy will not cover you for delivering food from restaurants or takeaways to customers for payment. To be able to do that within the law, you will need to ensure that you have fast food delivery insurance, which is a form of hire and reward insurance.

Thank you for ur swift response ! Pls how easy and costly is it to get this taxi insurance and other papers that would allow me do it

What kind of job is it? Is it an HCA role because I know that HCAs are sometimes sponsored at Band 2? Is it on the shortage occupation list? Why is the person not looking for jobs with higher banding now or after spending a few months in this role if the person is just trying to get NHS experience? It is very easy to get stuck at lower bands with low pay in the NHS if desperate. Aside sponsorship, will the person be willing to remain stuck at that level for a while as it can be sometimes difficult to move up bands in the NHS if the current role doesn't give much room to take higher- level responsibilities?

Hello! Pls how do we know the jobs on shortage occupation list ?

Guys I need advice abeg .

My agents wants to me to pay extra 1 month and the money big ��‍♂️(390k)

I am thinking of doing priority since it takes only 3-4days max . But me bassey said priority only works for applicants not dependent, so my dependent might still wait for 2-3weeks ..

He is right !

The application was moved to VAC on Friday, collection mail dropped and I just collected my passport now. That was after making paid calls and especially a paid mail I sent, I got response from Sheffieldstudentteamammendment Some days after they have ordered my passport returned to me as soon as possible. Within 48hours, moved to VaC and collection mail.

As for my friend, her husband will now be traveling with the kids.

N.B: if your application is yet to move to VAC and it has exceeded the timeframe for your visas processing. When doing paid calls and paid mails, to be sure your request is been ordered or successful, you will receive a mail from shefieldstudentammendent within 5days max. If not receive keep disturbing them because have seen lots of people whose CAS was withdrawn because of not getting visa and missing enrollment deadline.

Pls bro kindly help !We did biometric on 17th of November, wife brb mail and collection mail drop on 21st of November , husband brp mail drop same 21st but collection mail didn’t drop, don brb mail and collection mail drop on the 23rd of November ! Husband collection mail ad not drop till now! My people pls what could be the cause ? Should we send mail or make some paid calls ?

Make enquiry through paid mail or call.

Have some schools stopped taking deposits for January 2023? I deferred to January 2023 at keele university. I started the process of paying the full tuition but yet to be debited for form A. Only for me to just visit their website just to know more about the school and I saw that they have stopped deposit for January 2023. I called and sent emails and no reply. Should I cancel the form A? I was relaxed about the form A because I thought I had extra time seeing as it is January intake

Does this apply to keele university alone ! Or is it because ur admission was deferred

Some schools like Bradford stopped collecting deposits for January 2023 since August. You shouldn't have relaxed, be persistent in your calls and mails telling them that the fault is not from you but from your bank in making international payments.
N. B. Make sure you attach screenshots of your transactions. Good luck

I want to believe the admission of your wife is for this year September/October 2022 and not January 2023, right? Tuition fee of most UK changes every year.

Programme start date 23rr of January ! The admission is for Jan 2023

By budget of 10k GBP, are you talking about the tuition fee or maintenance/processing costs or both? If it's tuition, I don't think you can get any Uni in the UK at the moment with 10k tuition for Master's for international students - that's almost what home (UK) students are already paying. Start looking at 12-13k minimum.

Yes he can! Ulster university gave my wife admission and there sch fees after discount sum up to 9987! Total sch fees was 11750
