Hello Elengine, could you please explain further? Having a child in the UK can get you a leave to remain? Wow... I know plenty people who are interested in this info oo.

Thank you.

OgbeniOptional:
I will be extremely happy if she can get the leave to remain for 30 months, enough to navigate one’s life.

LionInZion:


Just out of curiosity, what will happen to the woman's and her children's stay in the UK no that the main applicant is dead? How does Home Office handles matters like this? Zahra29, any idea?

Lexusgs430:



Universities have decided to stage a fightback and accuse the government........😁

I would point my accusing fingers at our political class and politicians, for failing to judiciously spend Nigerian's wealth appropriately.......

Imagine if Nigeria was like Dubai/Qatar/Saudi...... Let's just imagine that thought and relish in it .......😜

Las Las, we go all dey alright......🤔

I am not rejoicing at their downfall...the route was due for review along with the care worker one as it was massively abused

My own problem is how they talk down on students as if we came to scrounge without paying fees. They should tell the true story and mention how much students have also contributed to their economy

Its really offensive and downright foolish to me

hustla:


You should consider a career in politics (not an insult o)

I have been waiting for your comment

I m holding my horses , zahra till i see some manifestos. This dianne abbot fiasco has got me in my feelings.

Also , with all the BAME ministers in government, there has never been a worse time than now to be black in the recent past. I ll be watching him to see what he's made of.

Still Register to vote, people. And stand by to go about!

The new law was made to protect those already in the UK. There are certain exceptions to the salary threshold and new graduates and those on post graduate visa is among. So no matter what u earn, u can still bring in dependants within 2 years of the time u graduate.

Biko, Seniors in the house. I have got a question. If one is working in care on sponsorship for 2yrs and got a job in another sector on the job shortage list. Will the person start afresh to count towards 5yrs or they will continue from the 2yrs?

AntiMCU:


Will the salary threshold be applicable when it is time for extension?

For example, I was given a 1 year CoS this year and I want to renew next year. Will I need to meet the 38700 threshold?

I'm asking because I just put in my application today.

dupyshoo:

You wey no need any support. I wonder how you keep going despite some very spiteful comments. I admire this your ability. You no send anybody.

deept:


The UK does not just hate students who bring their money to come to contribute, we hate the middle class worker because we tax them to the teeth. We hate the Europeans who came here to work and contribute, we voted brexit. We hate corporations because they do not pay enough tax. We hate landlords, enterpreneurs with all the roadblocks and million regulations that does not encourage investment and productivity. We hate gen Z, we hate the consaervatives, we hate labpour, we hate SNP,. The hate is not reserved for any group.

Question is how do we thrive inspite of everything?

Message to LEXUSGS430…

Please, never relent in your great pursuit of advising, encouraging and humoring us on here.
You have been very consistent, responding positively to concerns, nervousness and fears on questions that bothers multitude of new entrants in the UK through this lovely thread.

You have shared life changing advice which has also positively enriched the community here in general, either one way or another.

I enjoy your contributions on this forum and implore you to keep up the good work. You are a hero here and people love you… Ignore the Naysayers, as most of them have NEVER contributed anything meaningful here BUT hellbent on destroying/labeling the great contributors with unfounded accusations.

Zahra29… I admire your contribution on here, more grease to your elbow.

😀😀😀🤩🤩🤩

dupyshoo:
I don't share the same opinion with you though.
I instead see him as someone who takes life very easy and tries to find humour out of every situation.

Do I have the same personality? No!! Everyone cannot be the same.

I can however say he has contributed immensely to this thread. He has been consistent and always willing to answer question with a bit of humour. He is one of the people that has kept this thread going and interesting.

Dappy25:
I understand that Lexusgs430 finds humour in everything and some people might not like that understandable. But there is no evidence to accuse him this way. I’ve been following this thread since 2022 and he has been providing lots of advice and information, things more experienced UK people won’t even bother with.

His advice with getting life insurance is one I took and I’m happy I did because I’m almost in a bleak medical situation now.

ehizario2012:


I am not tracking lexusgs430 or have any personal interest in him, but just as he has a right to say whatever, I have a right to challenge whatever. I'm not even asking him to stop, but he should be seen for who he is. He claims he helped people out of depression?? Is that not funny?? It's not only Lexus, the other ones who act as though they sat down with home office to draft the immigration policies too know themselves.

Hkana:
@zahra29 can you signpost me to where I can read up how the new "no dependant for care workers" affect new NHS staff?

Anyone else is welcome to help as well.

Lexusgs430:



This imam is very polite........ How we miss that imam with the hook on one arm........ The hook imam, was clearly a terrorist + an extremist....... Yet the UK could not touch him for years....... Hook was even granted British citizenship.......... We miss you hook....... 🤣😂

No need going adhominem.
This is hardly about my take on the care sector which has always been consistent. British taxes should pay for British care. If we need to rely on external workforce, they should be appreciated. Rather than use the care route as another form of modern slavery, it should be scrapped. If that means income tax goes up 75% or council taxes has to increase by 10% annually to pay for the ever balooning adult social care, so be it.

The new rules only instutionalise that exploitation. For decades the sector has been supported by migrant labour. It has only just come to the fore thanks to Brexit.
Finally, after 5 years of hard work on minimum wage with no family, they'd still become Brits and see that they've contributed more to the economy in 5 yrs than some of the folks they were waiting on did.

jedisco:


The government here is not worried about ending abuse but rather restricting who perpetrates the abuse to themselves and also appearing tough on immigration as a last ditch attempt at the next election. Reports of rampant abuse have been in the media for years yet they looked on until numbers balooned.

You don't seem to care about the rogue agents that were profiteering off the plight of fellow immigrants, but you're annoyed that the government decided to clamp down?

The main issues started when the care visa route was introduced a couple of years ago. Before then, immigrants had been working in care for decades and there was none of this blatant abuse

Why was the salary treshold for care workers retained at an abysmal 20k when the wider treshold was increased?

Why have they made carers the only immigrant group who would be unable to bring family over hence restricting their right to family life?

Because the care sector is the work visa route that has been exploited. It's not possible to buy cos for a doctor or nurse or electrical engineer, plus the entry requirements are more stringent. However the care route became a free for all and the government figures showed that 120,000 dependants accompanied 100,000 workers on the route just last year, constituting the largest contribution to the jump in immigration figures.

All this ensures the government pays the least for social care by ensuring a streamlined supply of poorly paid care workers. This still does nothing to adress the abuse everyday care workers face- something that'd be sorted by higher pay

Yes, the government has been pressured to increase the sector pay, mainly because this would make it more attractive to residents and reduce reliance on foreign labour.

It's not just care work that is poorly paid. NHS Clinical roles as a whole, hence all the protests.


Ultimately, even the COS for even the new roles would still be sold on the black market.

I very much doubt it. Any firm that requests COS allocation now has to be audited and regulated by the CQC. They also have to provide evidence to the home office that there is a genuine vacancy and available work for the candidate. This is why there has been a dramatic drop in the number of care cos being issued.

Ogbaba123:
Please I’ll need clarity on these

Scenario 1: a dependant working with a dependant visa for years with an organization, will the new visa rule apply to them if they decide to switch to a Saw visa even after working with this organization for years

Scenario 2: for a skilled worker extending their visa, will the new visa salary threshold apply to them?

Thank you

The good thing though is that the £38K thing does not affect those who have just graduated but I see a sizable number of Nigerian students leaving the UK (a lot have left already or are planning to leave) as most of the policies are downright sinister and meant to restrict your upwards mobility.

I expect things to free up a bit within 1 yr and changes to be made, maybe a bit more stability

Viruses:


If they were in UK before travelling back, it means they have used their CoS, they are now BRP holders. Therefore the chatgpt that generated this post no know book. If within the 10 days the employer have terminated their employment, they have 90 days to get another sponsorship so the chatgpt no still know book because their BRP will be valid.

Your pal is not a standard, he did what best suits him. This family could have planned their holiday to align with the burial period (even though the story is false).

It's people like this that are giving Nigerian immigrants a bad name in the UK, it's crazy. I know spouses can suddenly develop unimaginable characters (including cheating) when they get to the UK, but domestic violence is never the solution. It's better to let the marriage gradually degenerate (while arranging plan B) and disintegrate eventually rather than be forced to go violent.

AntiMCU:


Guys please your help on this issue is required.

lavida001:


Only if Nigeria could work. UK policy’s towards immigrants is a sinister one. That’s why I do always shekpe for anybody and their family involve in Nigeria being backwards.

I wonder whether that has been the case in canada and the USA where they are allowed to work.

The cruelty is mindbending. I am a refugee ,you keep me in a hotel room sharing with 3 other people i dont know on 7 pounds/day. I can't go outside without being harassed by people who hate me
It speaks to the resilience of the human spirit that there are not more suicides than there are.

What would Jesus do if he met an asylum seeker,I wonder? Would he treat them the same way?
