We’re you guys able to get a house before landing in the UK, and what platform or means did you use? It’s been proving very difficult for us.

Yes we did

Through Facebook then via the leasing agency

Which city are you heading to?

Please send me a copy of the five page document

Thanks

Welcome to the abroad. You didn't indicate visa you came in with. I'm assuming student? You usually can't do any work without your NI and you require DBS for only a few jobs. You can do volunteer jobs for a few weeks as you have been advised and that will count as part of your UK experience.
I wish you all the best.


NB- I have a 5 page document i titled "First 5 years in the UK as a Nigerian Expatriate (Migrant)". Although it's for skilled workers, others may find it useful. Let me know via pm if you need it.

I am just hearing this, does one need the NI number to get a job under student Visa? My husband has been applying for few jobs and they havent asked for such yet.

You wouldn't have said no. You will just say yes. Cos before you work you will be giving a basic training. You would have done some couses on caregiving and have a certificate or diploma in caregiving. If you are asked say yes I can and get a basic info on anything you want to put head. Imagine to get job as a cleaner you will be asked do you have experience in it I will say yes.

Haven't you taken care of your elderly ones before? Haven't you assisted an elderly one to cross the road those are experiences you can't apply to that company again even if you have the experience.

Hello @Aminess1, how did you go about getting your accommodation in Leicester. I'm having difficulties in securing one.

We are headed to Sheffield for our quarantine, had to get an Airbnb. We tried Facebook Marketplace for a while but we almost got scammed twice. The people I chatted with sent me a fake Airbnb link to insert card details, thank God for sharpness. That was the last time invisited Facebook in search of an apartment.

Please where is your company based? I'm studying cyber security and looking for internship placement in January

What duration are you looking at for the internship??

Bluetherapy:
I would like to know which airline one can fly from Nigeria to UK trying to avaoid BA as much as possible. He reach to almost pay school fees .

KLM and air seems to be the logical one to take, but there's this confusion about needing transit visa or not. Has anyone flied them recently?

https://www.klm.com/travel/ng_en/campaigns/nigeria_flight_schedule.htm

Transit visa is mandatory unless you hold visit visa for countries like US and Canada. Read up on both airlines website. I understand people from Nigeria have not been allowed to board as they are unaware of this requirement. The rules changed in January following the end of the transition period for uk's exit from the EU.

I believe this has also led to a spike in the number of people choosing to travel with the likes of Qatar.

Good morning everyone, please where I can enroll to get a Nigerian national insurance number, cos I heard it's compulsory before one can renew port. Please help me out here.

umarwy:




What duration are you looking at for the internship??

My Uni expects me to have it for 3 months (January ending - April) however we can extend it further if we so wish till September. The only thing is that the Uni won't recognize the extension. So officially, 3 months unofficially, 6-8 months.

izyblaze:
Not sure if this is the right thread, or I should post it in the student thread? But here it goes...

What advice would you give to a flourishing business owner, with a 1st class in Bsc computer science, for choice of masters in order to get a job? Let me post as received.

"I need advice. I love working in an IT space, that's the reason I went back to school to get my degree, despite having a flourishing business. My goal is to become a computer and information systems manager, but I know to attain this, I need to get entry level roles, so I can gain experience. So my problem is this, I hate to code, I've tried learning coding, but it's too frustrating for me, I only enjoy Logic and Strategic research. What would you suggest?"

From my limited knowledge in Tech, I advised him to go for IT business Analytics as it's a bridge between business and Tech, it's also in the skills shortage list in UK and Ireland, however I don't know if it requires coding, I know it focuses mainly on logic and research. Please, experienced people in the house, what would you suggest? P.S money is not an issue, if you can also suggest certifications he can take, during his study that'll be relevant in the long run, that'll be much appreciated. Thank you.

Good afternoon all,
Please for those that travelled recently, what COVID lab did you use for your day2, 8 & 5 tests and delivered results on time.
The reviews I am reading online (Dante & Co.) are not encouraging at all.
Also, any walk-in(on-site) COVID center in Sheffield, could save a lot with this.
Thanks for your usual help.

I booked with Dante lab I didn't get the result on time and at some point they were not replying my mails, but they actually gave me all my result at day 10 of my quarantine. It was a bad experience for me but I actually enjoy the fact that I perform the swab myself.

Na wa o

Does anyone know care agencies that are offering sponsorship for the new care work visa. .... please dm me if you know any. Thanks

Hello everyone, good job for the direction and clarity provided over the years.

I have a question on CoS. My employer provided my CoS over two weeks ago which I updated on my visa application. However, I was able to renegotiate my annual pay which led to my recruiter insisting that I will have to get an updated CoS to reflect my new pay before I can proceed with my application.

I am just wondering what will be the implication if I use the old annual pay as it is also above the minimum pay for tier 2 visa.

Thank you

Hello, gurus in the house. A new thread has been created, specially dedicated to the 'UK Skilled Worker visa (formerly Tier 2 visa) & Health and Care Worker visa'.
Please follow the link below to connect with like-minded people and share useful information, tips, links, etc. Our goal is to see each other succeed in this pursuit and meet together at last in the UK. Thanks.

I don't think that would be necessary because you have already ed and done your biometrics (I suppose).

Or do you mean you are yet to do biometrics

I am just wondering what will be the implication if I use the old annual pay as it is also above the minimum pay for tier 2 visa.
