I want to ask sth. We all know employers and agents share this sponsorship money on percentage, nothing is free.

But if yawa gas from home office, can the employer be exonerated since they didn’t collect money directly from the employee. Or employer go follow chop inside the yawa

Just asking

Depending on the kind of yawa.

If the employer does not abide by terms of employment like minimum salary payment, home office will deal with them (not because you paid agent but because they broke employment laws).

But if the yawa na say you just go report about paying for the job, the employer can simply deny you except you have verifiable indicating evidence. In this case, both payer and payee will be dealt with.

rinzylee:
The truth is I'm actually in a licensed profession and better offers always come around daily. I have gotten way higher paying jobs since I came. I can't tie myself to a 5 year contract.

You should have mentioned that if you have offers to choose from, you won't pick the one with 5 years. But you sounded like the OP made a wrong decision.

I put it to you, you didn't turn down offers before you came, you are turning down offers because you are here already. You jumped at the first offer you got while still in Nigeria.

Let us not use our privileged positions to judge others.

I dont think there is any alternative o when it come to taking another empoyment as a sponsored skilled worker as his current employer has a big role to play in the process of changing sponsored jobs .
By law he can't bypass his current employer to take another sponsored employement elsewhere as UKVI cannot even grant him a new COS if his current employer doesnt cancel the current one .

Are you 💯% sure about thise. There are people that have changed sponsored jobs without their employers knowing. Example is that guy that had issue with driving a car that resulted in maltreatment. According to him, when he resigned, the employer didn't know what next for him.

STENON:
You get 5 years work visa once you get full time job with the local authority after your PGDE .

Can one apply for this PGDE from Nigeria and is it easy to get the full time teaching job with local authority?

I'm exploring options for someone.

rinzylee:
Nawa o. They have learnt from Indians.

But.... .. you for no sign that kind contract o. 2 years is the max I can do and that's because they offered relocation package from Nigeria and would pay for my trainings and co.

So if you are in Nigeria, a company gives you job offer with visa sponsorship for 5 years and a breakout clause, you will say no you want 2 years visa sponsorship or remain in Nigeria and continue to apply for job?

For me, if they give me 2 years, I will ask if they can make it 5.

ukay2:
It depends if there's red light camera at the junction.

Wait for 2 weeks to see if you will get letter....palpitations period for any brown envelopes.

You may likely escape this scenario. Reflect on it and don't break the red light signs.

The rule for me is from far distance, check the traffic lights and if green has been for a long time before l reach the junction, I reduce speed as l am approaching, knowing that it will soon change to Amber to red.

There is camera.
I abide by this rule as well but the light didn't change till I was almost crossing.

I just read online now that there is a one second delay before the camera flashes. If that is true, then I should be fine because my front wheels crossed the line on amber but not sure of the back.

Do humans review the camera or it is automated from capture to penalty. Something tells me if someone reviews it I will be forgiven.

rinzylee:
Were you caught?

Was it hazardous to stop at Amber 🚦?

I would say yes because only emergency breaking would have stopped me before the line. Normal breaking would have stopped me after the line in the middle of the raod.

I also judged that emergency breaking would put the vehicle behind me at risk.

Do they pardon red light offence for first timer?

bigtt76:
How do you do this? I'm curious though 🙄

There are lot's of ways depending on what works for you.

You can get someone that wants to buy something expensive like phone, laptop, car deposit, tuition deposit etc, pay for them with your credit card and collect the money from them.

If you have a trading account, fund your trading account with your credit card and transfer from your trading account to your bank account.

You can check if other platforms like wise support credit card funding.

Akhat:
The amount left to pay is 3k. I had a running bolt business in Nigeria, but the driver had an accident with the car.

You've almost paid everything. If push comes to shove, just withdraw cash from your credit card then pay the minimum monthly balance till you are buoyant enough to clear the balance.

This advice is based on the assumption that credit card sanctions (interest or missed payments) is better than school sanctions.

Cassan:
Hi guys. I am looking for Mutual Funds with good interest rates that I can save my money with in the UK. Any suggestions please?

Moneybox once in a month withdrawal gives about 3.2%, the 30 days notice gives about 3.4%. There are other account types but the returns cannot be compared to the Nigerian mutual funds expected returns.

I'm applying for PTA via the trade monitoring website and I'm getting quarterly limit exceeded. Does this have to do with the bank I'm using?

Has anyone applied for PTA recently?

Cassan:
Southampton.

We are planning a weekend trip to Isle of wight this summer. It's close to Southampton so you can go and return same day in case you're interested.

Estroller:
It's actually not a blanket restriction, if household income is below the threshold on the gov.uk website then he/she can. The 3 year old funding is equally not universal, there is an income threshold as well and parents earning above that can't claim it.

The website did not state income threshold for 3 yrs old for 15hrs. The income threshold is for 30hrs.

The 15hrs for 3 yrs old is also not public funds for immigration purpose but the 30hrs is public fund.

tomiwiyu:
Many Agency staff are on this table, Sponsor have brought it more staff more than what they need. Staff is limited to 20hrs . And it is not like there is an end to this. I will advise the candidate to search aggressively for job part-time becos this Agency are selfish.
I am on this table also , but i found a care job pending the time my Agency will give Job.

This is correct.

I've heard of someone that paid 10M for sponsorship, no shifts yet. Sometimes they get shift once a week. The agency have advised them to takeup jobs elsewhere if they see. The ones that came with their families are crying.

These agencies are making more money from CoS than from their customers. And they bring in people from different countries.

Question: does anyone has or know about any 3 bedroom apartment to let.

Answer: don't travel with your family

Some companies sponsor employee and their family if they are coming together. Some will refund all your expense including temporary accommodation (just that you may have to pay with your money first).

I'm not saying this is the OP's situation, my point is make we sufri dey advice. A man with 3 children know what is best for his family.

You no need advice who no get money say MA should travel alone, him pucket go advise am.

Cassan:
Thank you very much for your response. He is yet to get COS. He wanted all his documents to be complete first. Is it possible for him to get COS now and then do IELTS just before he applies for visa?

Yes

Cassan:
Good evening house.
Please I need your advice. My brother wants to apply for NARIC (healthcare work). However, it’s been nearly two months since we have been trying to obtain the letter of medium of instruction from his previous school without success.
Can he apply for NARIC with only his transcript and certificate please?

He cannot. I'm sure you already saw the required documents on NARIC's website.

The alternative is IELTS (general). It's easy to pass considering the required pass mark and you can get your result in less than a week (for online version) and about 2 weeks otherwise.

Has he gotten CoS?

giselle237:
is not easy as before again and there are allocated days the branches receive. Also now all applications are initially logged in by the traveler on the trade portal

Do you mean after the approval and the naira is deducted from my account, there are still particular days I can go collect the PTA?

Solumtoya:
Someone has responded but these differ with each Bank so better to enquire at the Bank

Thanks

eluquenson:
1. PTA takes less than 2 weeks to be treated, 2 weeks prior to travel date
2. choose any branch of your choice
3. It must either be USD/GBP/EUR if it's a cash request, but if it's a card it will only be USD

I hope these help

Yes.

Thank you

I have a question about PTA.

I know school fees takes long to approve. Does PTA take that long as well?

Must you use the branch where you opened the account?

For someone going to Canada, can he apply for USD PTA or it must be CAD.

AKALAMAGBO:
Na that 3rd exit got me failed too…

I've gotten some clarity about it from youtube, na to practice am remain.

I also notice that most times, if you are able to follow the road markings and enter via the correct lane, the lane will lead you to your correct exit.

Lexusgs430:
Kpele o ...... You carry our Nigerian roundabout attitude, reach uk...... First to chuk nose, na hìn get right of way .............😂😭

It's only in the north, that roundabout rules applies.........😂😜

Lol

The issue was for a third exit, I entered through the right lane and moved to the left lane after the first exit instead of after the first and second exit.

I failed driving test. Clearance and roundabout was the issue.

Now I know my instructor has not been doing a good job, youtube try pass am seff.

If there's someone in Leicester that can sit with me in my car please holla. I just need more practice in roundabouts.

Lefty500:
Hello elders in the house, my credit score is 721, I want to ask if I can apply for credit card, and I bank with Monzo, I don't have any physical card, I hope that won't affect my application or should I go register for a physical bank before applying. I have been in the UK for close to 6 month now, and I just got my own apartment.

Yes you can, physical card/bank should not be a barrier.

Amex has high approval rate. Use my referral link if you wish to apply for amex credit card and we both get bonuses.

Lolli2pop:
From the tracker, i can see Mine as well as been in production for ages…on the tracker what status does your show?

Like how long now?

Phenmeson:
I was at the embassy today. Those people are something else. I waited over 4hrs.
They said is at production stage that need to keep waiting until I received it.
Other applicant of last year are still facing the same issue. Even to use ladies/gent they will not even allowed those coming to pick up their passport. They said only applicant allowed in the building are those for capturing or have an appointment.
What's the issue with yours?

This is very sad, imagine people that needs the passport to renew their stay, they now face the risk of overstaying because UKVI won't take passport unavailability as excuse.

Na to stage protest o
