yomisley: The Truth is they can work else where na, package your cv and apply to care home/agency. why will you have to wait till your Sponsor get shift before you go fit chop. Just this week, I gave a friend of mine that just landed from naija the contact of 2 care agencies where I used to work in Manchester before I relocated down south. He told me that they were asking for 1 year experience in care. These are agencies that as at 2 years ago when I joined them, they took me in with no experience. I did just one day training and that’s it. Bro everywhere choke! Care job no easy like b4 and I’m not even talking about sponsorship. |

LagosismyHome: You didn't make any mistake ..... Tier 2 allows you to work and be paid immediately. Its just that currently the situation on ground has been abused and has several issues.
I know one or two carer who worked and were paid for day 1 and were paid by end of month so this fault is your employer because on Facebook you see some going for months with no shifts of stories here and there from employer If the employer in this case is one of the big 4 or NHS or infact a proper organisation with structure, I’m sure the Op won’t be in this situation. We are talking about a Skilled worker visa here and not student visa. Bullies everywhere 🤦♂️ |

BouharryArtikou: Do not allow some very sanctimonious humans on this thread to gaslight you. You did nothing wrong. You did not make any mistake. You trusted the process. You believed that the anyhowness in Nigeria remains in Nigeria. Never in your wildest imagination did you think that in the UK, an employer will delay your pay for over a month, for any reason.
It’s the company that sponsored you that is the problem, not you.
It was not a mistake. Maybe a learning curve, but definitely not a mistake. There are bullies everywhere, even on this thread. They may want to gaslight & bully you, using different kinds of words and sometimes outrightly disparaging statements and phrases. Give them no heed. 💯 💯 💯 |

Alexia20: Hi , I want to confirm if it is true that NHS gives sponsorship to healthcare worker and what is the salary threshord for NHS sponsorship for band 3 If you mean, Can healthcare assistant, band 3 role be sponsored, it’s a Yes. But then again, it depends on the Trust. Some may decide not to sponsor but not because the role cannot be sponsored. They will have their reasons for not sponsoring. Threshold should be btwn £21730 - £23177 depending on the number of years of experience. |

EJIOGBENIMI: Pls how soon can one get notified of a traffic fine, just in case? I am still relatively new to the uk roads and I’ve made some serious traffic mistakes in the last 2 months. My saving grace is that I live in a suburban town with lesser population. roads are less busy and less complicated. But, I travelled to Manchester last week and I made some serious mistakes one their more-complex roads. I followed/drove against the traffic for some yards while trying to enter/exit road. It happened 3 times during the trip. Police were not involved both times but there were cameras there. Other drivers were quick to notify me on time and I either turned back or adjust to the appropriate lane. Odikwa Risky. Take sometime off driving and master the roads as it seems you clearly don’t understand it. I’m an advocate of, try to pass the theory test at least before you start driving with your international license. Even you will enjoy your driving with the knowledge that you would have gained. You should get a Notice of Intended Prosecution with 14days. You might be lucky and not get any if those cameras didn’t catch you. |

Lexusgs430: Not an overkill, It's called fraud....... And various employer's have measures to tackle fraudulent employee's........
If you cannot stand the heat....... Read your employee HB and don't commit fraud...... Blame her for her stupidity, you want to commit fraud, yet placed on social media your life history (she's probably bought a brand new car, new mortgage + showing her colleagues her mansion in Nigeria etc etc ) Living larger than her pay packet....... It's all her fault......
You cannot receive sick pay from one employer, use that same period to work for another employer and get paid twice........ Are you a money doubler....... Abi you be Sodiq......... 😝🤣😂 But I want to believe you can be on for example 2 weeks annual leave at one job while working with another employer during the period. |

So I heard that there is a type of CoS that people now buy and it’s called “No Work”.
There is already an agreement btwn the seller and buyer that there is no work available, they can only provide CoS and people are buying it without thinking twice.
To think this care worker visa 6145 was just launched a year and 3 months ago.
If not for the rubbish that is going on, I see no reason why one month rent shouldn’t be enough. Even govt said the least you can bring is £1270 which isn’t a bad idea for a visa type that work is already on ground.
I sincerely hope the home office can do sth about this Fraud going on. It has eaten so deep mehn 🤦♂️ |

hadidej: Hi All, 2 things. I currently moved form one skilled worker visa to another. According to gov.uk, my family don't seem to have to reapply since they still have visa from my previous employer. Some people say they have to re-apply for another visa, others say it doesn't matter. I feel they need not according to my interpretation on gov.uk. But maybe we misunderstood. Can some one advise. Secondly, I can link you to where affordable snails are available if based in coventry. They don’t have to apply immediately as long as their current brp hasn’t expired. They are still on dependant visas. |

bukonlami: What if I am able to secure another CoS before the 60 days do I still need to apply for another visa When they say switch b4 60days, I believe they mean you must secure another CoS, submit a visa application and get a successful outcome all within the 60 days. I stand to be corrected. What I am not particularly sure about is whether the outcome of the visa application must be out before the 60 days lapses or as long as you have made the application before the 60 days you are fine. |

bukonlami: Guys please I need inputs and advices on an issue. What happens if a sponsor dismisses you from work. I’m not sure BUT I think once home office has been notified, they will send you a letter in form of a post or email telling you that you have 60 days from the issue date of the letter to switch to another visa or leave the country. If you also check your right to work online using your brp, you will see the same information. |

AKALAMAGBO: You are on point. I was paying £985 on my provisional license, immediately I passed and informed my insurance company, they added extra £900 making it £1895. I inquired why and was told I’m more at risk as a new driver cos I just passed, I then further asked who is more at risk between provisional and full license holder, their answer was that being a provisional license holder mean an experienced full license holder with at least 3 years of experience must be with you in a L labeled car when driving so you were not much at risk BUT now that you’ve passed your driving test, you would want to be driving alone hence the price… I just cancelled that their nonsense, used confused.com and got a deal of £1200…
Their wahala too much Drove on international license for a year with a £1200 premium, after 1 year I switched to UK full licence (manual) and currently hold a 1 year NCD, now I pay about £750 for premium. Hopefully it goes further down by the time I have 2 years NCD |

Please can a (student)dependent switch to tier 2 before their current visa expiry date.
I mean the dependent alone now while the student switch to dependent after completing his study.
Any implications and if possible how will someone go about it.
Thank you. As a student dependant, I switched to tier 2 alone about 9 months b4 my visa expiry date. And my partner (student) didn’t switch to become my dependant until after graduation which was like 2 months b4 visa expiry date. So it’s very possible. |

TheGuyFromHR: You have to present the underlying [Nigerian?] driving licence. An international driving licence is not a standalone, it's based on a national licence. And you should be within the one year period following your arrival in the UK as a resident during which you can use your national licence to drive in the UK. This should be another topic to enlighten those that just arrived or those driving with international license. An international license is NOT a standalone. You need your Naija license. Most people scale through because the police hardly stop people. In the UK, your Nigerian license is classed as International license.
