Hello...pls is it possible for someone to switch from work visa (let's say care worker) to student visa after 6 months?

The care home/centre sponsored the person come UK

Yes, but that’s a bad idea. Don’t do it. You can go to school on a sponsored work visa you don’t necessarily need to change.

The scam is not only in Owerri i think its all over Nigeria. I'm not interested in buying or budling a house for investment yet because of ROI when converted back to £.
I'm very much interested in buying a land when i see a genuine one

Land banking is a good investment especially those cheap lands for those that can wait long term

I'm just wondering...

Are graduate students allowed to do business in Uk.. Business like buying and selling, stock investments, high interest saving bank , shipping goods to Nigeria etc? Or just 20 hours weekly work only..

Once every 6 months
Its just those who work in Healthcare for a minimum of 20 hrs per week

“have worked in your role for at least 6 months, for an average of at least 16 hours a week”

Average of 16 hrs weekly.

So, for example, you could work
10 hrs x 4weeks = 40
20hrs x 6weeks = 120

Total = 160hrs/10week

That’s an average of 16 hrs per week at a span of 10 weeks.

Thanks for the response...I know it's a bad idea (just need to know cause of some personal issues)

Omo I heard about this but thought it was a farce. So after how many months can one process a refund? Does it apply to those studying healthcare courses too?

It's legit boss. I can confirm

LaXxOnebody:
If you switch your Lloyds or main all your payments and details are switched too.

I wouldnt advise it though.

I aslo do not knownif Monzo s are accepted. If you want to chop switch miney you may want to open a Metro and or VirginMoney, you can then be switching those ones.

You credit score may be slightly impacted.

I used my Monzo for it but it was rejected. I went to the bank but they said must have two direct debits from the . I asked even though he explained but I didn't want to appear dumb.

What exactly do they mean by direct debits from the ?

I may also consider opening Metro or VirginMoney cos I wan dey chop switching money, I no go lie

Hello, everyone. I have a question please. I've heard that if a couple plans to rent a place and only one of them is employed, they might have a lower chance of being approved by the landlord. Is this true?

Additionally, if we choose to list only the working person on the lease application, will this have any negative consequences for the other person who will be living there, or are there any other potential issues for the couple?

??

Thank you for your kind response.

Tuition is free for kids? Wow 😍 😍

With regards to your number 4 response, i have a degree in Medical Laboratory Science and i want to for UK practicing license so i will be able to work there as a medical scientist or something similar.
If i can combine this with the sponsorship job i am entering UK with, will it be sufficient?

I don't want to leave my kids. I have custody of them and their dad doesn't mind me taking them abroad with me (of course i will get a consent letter from him).

Regarding question 1, i think part time masters will be the best instead of online.

Although i currently have ission into Kingston University, London, full-time but i want to let it go because of cost of living in London and reapply into another school later for part time studies.

Please I sent you PM, I just need clarification, thanks....

Please who has link for student job in London. Abeg help a sister I Don broke like this.

To your first question, yes, it was difficult for us because only one of us was working at the time. Part of what helped us was we agreed to provide a guarantor as requested by the landlord

My LL requested to have only the name of the person working on the rental agreement but I doubt if there are major issues with this.

Even with the tumbling niara?

Naa the exchange rate wipes off the gains, although in my case invested naira, so it is what it is.

Direct debts - programmed, recurring debits that are automatically removed monthly for one bill or payment towards a service eg council tax, rent etc

That's a mighty long time

The OP did not give any context or additional information about his/her situation, so my response was specific not a generalization. If you're in the situation you've described, you know what to do.

Yes you can - https://www.gov.uk/apply-immigration-health-surcharge-refund

UniqueDext:
Please guys I need help, Am a student and my wife is my dependent, she is doing care for 9 months now.
can I request for refund of my health surcharge since my wife is working in health care?

What should one look out for when buying a new build?

Also, those houses close to the road, that the door is close to footpath, does ing cars really disturb? I'm looking at either that type or one at the end of a close. I feel the one at the end of a close will be too quiet because it's not facing any houses, just facing a field/park.

Finally why are rooms in new builds too small. Infact I see those 3 bedrooms houses as 2 and half bedrooms.

If you pay for your bills via direct debit i.e automated recurring/periodic payments or repayments for goods or services, then put 2 on the you're switching to them.

Does this apply to someone studying a healthcare course like Nursing for instance? Or it’s till one assumes a role as a ed nurse?

Schoolhike:


“have worked in your role for at least 6 months, for an average of at least 16 hours a week”

Average of 16 hrs weekly.

So, for example, you could work
10 hrs x 4weeks = 40
20hrs x 6weeks = 120

Total = 160hrs/10week

That’s an average of 16 hrs per week at a span of 10 weeks.

This depends on the Landlord and could be sometimes true.

I had similar issues when i was trying to rent, so we put the employed person first and the unemployed person next on the form.

For example I subscribed to Duolingo and it's an annual subscription

Does it qualify for a direct debit?
