Hello Everyone!!

I urgently need your advice.

I'm currently in the UK on a dependant visa(tier 4), as my spouse is currently studying in the UK also.

I recently got two different job offers.

1) IT engineering job

2) Health care assistant job.

Please which one should I choose?

PS: I have got like 5 yrs experience in the IT field from Nigeria. But folks are saying I should go for the health care assistant job cuz of higher possibility of sponsorship from the health care assistant job.

Although the IT company didn't say anything about sponsorship. But upon researching on the gov.uk site, I found out that they are actually on the list of skill worker(A rating) sponsors.

What region do you live in if you don't mind me asking? All the schools and nurseries that I know of in my council (south east) ,and neighbouring boroughs, require the govt code to apply the 30 hours funding, so I wonder if it is a regional difference.

Agree re the bolded - OP should check what the rules are in her council.

Zahra29:


The official government guidance is clear that it is a public fund and other resources advise the same such as https://www.nrpfnetwork.org.uk/information-and-resources/rights-and-entitlements/services-for-children-and-families/early-education-and-childcare/3-to-4-year-olds-30-hours

This topic is usually contentious with some claiming that they are eligible for 30 hours via their council etc, so it comes down to what you want to believe and your risk appetite.

Note that you will be asked to provide your passport and national insurance details during the application process for the 30 hours funding.

This would have been quite distressing to you.
I know Halifax gives with family income upto £100K.
Speak to your Mortgage advisor to shop around again for you. Definitely you will get soon .

ukay2:



I think you should ask for the reason for the rejection from your mortgage advisor

If i were in your shoes, I would not use my car......... Your vehicle does not have instructor's pedal fitted........

That instructor's pedal, is your examiner's life insurance....... Without it, your examiner would feel exposed like a fish, out of its pond........ 😁

The examiner would inspect your vehicle, and would fail it, for the slightest reason....... Just pay about £100 and use an instructors vehicle..........

On the news just now on BBC Scotland, an international student held in immigration detention for 2 months for working more than 20 hrs.

From the report, seems like the home office is taking this serious.

Na wa oh, I just pray Nigeria could function properly even half efficiently as Uk.

After my car (2009) got into accident as a result of at-fault driver, I was really stressed and worried about commuting, the following day the insurance brought me a 2022 made Kia as a courtesy car to use pending investigation, although i was told that I will given a courtesy car but the timing and the car type is far above my expectations, because it was delivered quickly.

Was driving on the motorway this morning just to see some few functionalities of the car, I put on the cruise mode and lane assist mode, the car was just driving me without controlling the steering even at corners/curves.

Really feel different.

I just hope this is not a temptation to go collect car for Arnold Clark like this, as most of my friends have been doing.😂🤣😂🤣

Mine is a 6 years old built house, freehold. The estate management fee is about £210 per annum. I think it's good to pay it as they provide those services to keep your estate amenities in good shapes.

Funny enough if you follow their Twitter handle even Baverman handle you will see that they always point out these people coming in through the sea and not the people coming in legally. I am yet to see them tweet about this dependent thing so the news still seems like a rumour just like naija like singing around about UK blah blah blah.

Lexusgs430:



The next thing for you to do now........ Divide your mortgage payment by 4, over pay your mortgage by one week or more if you can afford it..........

This singular move, would shave years off your length of payment......... 🤣😂

Congratulations.........

RENT MONEY IS DEAD MONEY........ 😜🤑

People of God oh. Two things that I need your guide on:

1. I work in a multinational company here in the north(smiles) and they are giving me a credit card in my name and to be delivered to my home. My question is, will this card contribute to my credit score even though it is issued through my employer but in my name and my address. The essence of the card is for me to use any time I want to embark on a journey as an auditor. I can also use it to make some purchases as long as it is business related and my employer will be responsible for funding or replenishing it.

2. Marshmallow insurance is asking me to provide my job offer for them to verify the business I do based on the information I provided while filling their policy form. Meanwhile this is coming after 1 month of registration and I have paid like 400 pounds in advance. Now I pay 170 every month for a 2007 honda crv. Do you think I should course their mamas and ask to cancel my policy or I should ignore them. I feel very pained that they are not believing me. They thought everyone is a healthcare worker

Amazoner01:
Gurus pls is there a safe platform to save and get a reasonable interest apart from the 1.30percent my bank is paying me ?
I tried some brokers and approached my bank to secure a mortgage but all are declining cos I don’t have a permanent status yet. So I am thinking of saving instead and expanding the deposit percentage. Thanks in advance.

Pakis that make me feel as if I'm neighbours with Bin Laden.

They pretended as if they were not around.

Maureen4sure:
Good day, everyone!

Please, it’s very urgent. One of my child's international passports has expired.

Do I need to renew it before applying for a PSW (graduate visa) or Tier 2 visa, or is only the current BRP needed?

I’m currently in the UK.

Please be kind enough to help with this information.

Also please can someone please share the link of renewal of passport if in the UK .

Thank You

Question2:
Please guys, I need urgent help for these questions.
My wife is an MSc Nursing student but she has gotten a job offer as a Health Care Assistant. The company has given her COS for visa application. She still wants to keep schooling, she will be graduating next year September. The company has no problems with her schooling and working. My questions are these:
1, We (my wife, myself and my daughter) have only lived in UK for 7 months, are we going to need proof of fund?
2. The proof of fund for the three of us is in my account, must I transfer it to my wife's account (the main applicant)?
3. Do we need need to pay IHS, since the job is in the health care sector?
4. Apart from COS, Job offer Letter, Marriage certificate, BRP, Birth certificate and Passport. Is there any other document that we may need?
5. After conversion from student to working visa, and she finally graduates next year and gets a job with NHS in the hospital, hope she can switch from NHS working visa and will they start afresh to count for us towards application for indefinite stay, since we must have spent about 18 months to 20 months already.

Any other using information for switching from student visa to health care working visa will be appreciated. Please, guys we need help to these questions.
