MrSoftlife:


Keep it up then tomorrow come and complain here that the UK is not favourable. Have you seen a foreigner doing POF to come to Nigeria?!

Better do a thorough risk assessment and know what you are getting yourself into. Can you survive without getting a job?!

Shalom!

very funny. You don't have to quote me since you don't have answer to my question. My God that made ways for me where I reside presently with my wife would make a way for me in the UK. Thank you.

Why is hull setting high requirements like that?what about other courses? Most Nig in hull till date haven't paid anything aside their deposit and the school no trouble them.

Secondly I have a friend who is a ed nurse Bsc with her RN. Mide wife. She couldn't break through care assistant because of UK experience. Right now she does 10hrs cleaning per week job
They value UK experience more than anything. But if u can get an agency that can train and give u shift then with that experience gotten from UK u can break through.

The koko na UK experience. Me self don find care tire. Did some training on flowrence.

That is not true. Hull will log you out of the student portal if you do not meet the payment . Do you school in Hull?

Thanks for this William. And @yomifola. Very helpful.

I do have another question. This is around currency fluctuation.

On the day the required amount (for school fees, accommodation/living costs) was deposited in her , an extra 20% was added, to proactively cushion any exchange rate fluctuations. As of today, due to currency fluctuation, that amount no longer meets the required amount when converted to GBP.

My questions:
* what is the best way to handle this issue
* if more funds are added to her today, will she have to wait another 28 days before applying for her visa?
* if more funds are added to her today, and she goes ahead to apply for her visa, would it help to take snapshots of the oando rates, with dates, and write a letter to explain the currency fluctuation?
* does the currency exchange rate on the 1st day of the 28 days matter, would it help if ed by showing the oando rate on that day?

This is really a dilemma.

Simply pay more money to the school and provide evidence of that. If you pay more more into the , you will need to count 28 days all over again. The visa officer checks the exchange rate on the day you submitted your visa form. No other date matters to them.

MrSoftlife:


If life is not easy in someone’s Fatherland I wonder the magic they expect going to a foreign land to start afresh without having anyone.

Japa is not for everyone!

Try and equip yourself with the right skills so when that desired job opening opens you will be called for an interview.

I wonder why people thing they can just break in and make it within a year.

Some Nigerians don't ask the right questions. All they care about is that you are able to save money but they won't ask the HOW?

Actually most of us feeling the heat at the moment are those that came tru student route and those that came tru all those care route (without shift/work).

But if na work visa with an organization wey get work ooo (even if na care/ work).

Trust me, most likely u'll break in financially in less than a year.

But u see those of us in the categories I mentioned in the first paragraph, we'll also break tru by God's grace.


It just that omoh....the sweats/blood/tears no be here (especially the first year) but the tenacity/believe that things will get better keeps us going.


Mind u, some people are on scholarship....those ones just dey ball🤣

The UK as a Country prefers UK Degree or UK experience.

My advise for all those struggling in UK who cannot get a job with their Nigerian B.Sc or M.Sc is to get a UK Degree.

You can go back to University for a second M.Sc or even B.Sc.

And you will just pay £4000 as Tution fee becos they give a very huge discount.

You do not have to pay £15000-19000 as an International student.

All courses are available.

No IELTS
Just WAEC.
No Proof of Funds.

And the best part is you study online.

That's what most immigrants are doing now.

Really 🙄🙄🙄🏃🏃🚴🚴. What is the name of your university sir?

I just want to encourage someone. My husband had half school fees, but because of a sudden development in the church we were running we had to divert the funds for a long term lease. So that the church can continue to run while we were away, and there was no other alternative. We ended up coming in with zero kobo and the school is a Russel Group, and students who are self paying can come in without school fees deposit.

Total school fees was XYZ and even though we had housing challenges. I ended up with a good job in 4 weeks.

Long story cut short, in December we got a house with 4 months advance rent. We started paying school fees in January after the first 2000 deposit we made in October I.e. after so much pressure from the School.

Please note that we came in September 2023, and by end of May we will be having about 2300 left to pay as school fees.

My advice is, if you are sure that relocating is God's divine plan. Please relocate.

The Huge Discount does not come from the University Sir.

We all know UK does not give out Scholarships or discounts to students.

The Huge Discount comes from somewhere else through you to your University.

And the best part is everybody that applies get the huge discount.

heykims:
U guys be aware that it's now extremely difficult to stay back in UK after 2yrs postgraduate visa. This is because work sponsorship is now very difficult especially with the recent update on the care visa which used to be the target of most students.
Even if u are a student presently in UK with your dependants, to retain your dependants in UK after the 2years post study is tough because even if the main applicant gets a care visa, the dependants are not covered, except u get some other work visas.
Moreso, post study visa is now about 3k pounds and each dependant will be separately asides the main applicant.
Beware before u japa!

Sing it out loud.

Like I said before this should be the concern of most incoming Japaees rather than the "no available jobs" scenario.

lastkingsman:


Summary. In fact, the first question they ask now is what's your current visa status (especially for serious jobs)

They are not looking at the big picture.

Once you are done with tuition, open a LISA for you and your partner and start saving towards your first home.

U mean between between 5 months u where able to work 21000 pounds in this UK to pay fees? That job must be between 5000 pounds per month

Over 21000 pounds and salary is not up to 5000. Also we paid 2000 pounds already in October, so not exactly 5 months. I have a self employed teaching role by the side to raise feeding and house hold bills. My husband has a 20 hours job and worked 40 hours during holidays. Also since we paid rents ahead all our salaries for those 4 months went there. While we survived with the teaching benefits of averagely 500 pounds.

Also I had a tax refund of over a thousand pounds too. All of this went into fees.

Please note we also have 2 kids.

It takes discipline and self denial. No eating out and no purchases. Thank God we came with plenty clothes for our children and us.

Let's take a look at the analysis again.
Your husband is the student and has a 20 hrs job and the only holiday we had was December holidays which was 3 weeks of which he worked 40hrs.

Your self employed teaching jobs bring 500 to the table each month abi. Aside this teaching job is there any other job again

I have a full-time job which I have not mentioned the salary. But on the average we paid 4000 pounds per month for 4 months. We had no rent to pay in those 4 months because we had paid 4 months in advance in December.

Now the picture is clear. Getting a partner that does full time is the key. And again u must be lucky to hit a job in just few weeks. Some of us stayed 4 months roaming around for job from September to December walahi Before we could land a job. Even those than landed was our dependent while we student has to struggle out for job.

Im sure u already planning coughing out about 12k pounds post study visa fee for all your 4 family or getting a sponsorship outside care?

That one is not an issue for we student now.
The main issue is getting this school fees off.

She is extremely lucky with the job. Because I have many couples here that are still struggling to pay their fee of less than 19,000 pounds since two years now.... Those on two years program

heykims:

you don't need to know😉

I advise we plan the long term. What happens after graduation? How does one get to legally remain back in UK after school?
These are valid questions based on recent UK legislation as regards restrictions of sponsorship.
More especially for those still back home in Nigeria aspiring japa to UK.

Is that one a problem? It will be paid. We will be done with School fees by June. So enough time to plan for that. By the way, we did not come in for PSW. We might switch to the Visa we had plans for originally, if we save up more funds and have enough time. Otherwise we will switch a year into.

Me I am speaking by faith. The same way I have always done.

This is very doable - with discipline, hardwork and prayers. Congratulations dear. I hope your husband appreciates all your sacrifices and . You don't need to explain how it happened to anyone. God did it.
