You'll need to have a heart of stone for you to leave your banking Jobs to come over to UK; i have to tell you the truth; don't expect to walk into another banking job here in the UK. Your Nigerian experience and qualification will attract an insignificant recognition from UK employers.

Starting a new life in the UK as an immigrant is very hard, there's a very little or rather no help at all from the UK government. The information for new comers is scanty and very misleading. Compared to immigrant going to Canada, USA and Australia, UK immigrants seems to have more hard hurdles to cross. In the Canada for example if you migrate as a skilled worker you could at least go for more education with govt funding and assistance, this definitely do help immigrants to settle and intergrate easily. However, the UK govt does not provide any sort of funding for immigrants under tier1, if you want to study in their Universities you'll be charged at international student rate (except you have resided in the UK for 3 years) and yet they will expect you to make earnings up to £35000 to get your visa renewed! what a ridiculous condition.

My advise to you is to look before you leap and think of the consequences and weigh the merits and demerits of this your proposed migration. I am not discouraging you at all the choice is yours but be aware that there are so many hurdles to cross.

goodluck

thanks man!

you are welcome, pls feel free to request for any more info if you are stuck

Congratulations! You seem like a really nice young lady and I am happy for you.

Khadie, welcome to your new life in the UK, it is kind of chilly right about now, so try and get one sweater/jumper and a coat before you come (then you can buy more clothes on arrival), unless you have someone who is going to pick you from the airport, perhaps they can help bring you both. Which part of the UK are you coming to? I can just imagine how excited and ecstatic you must be feeling right now! Are you ready to come?

@ Ea$y, Funkybaby and Violent - I am glad Nairaland has people like you who are willing to help your fellow man for nothing, not all people are like this I hope others may follow in your footsteps, it makes me feel proud!

@Violent: All righty. I am coming on Saturday.

@ 1z2much: Pls storm the place jare. We can't wait no more.

@ Ell77: thanks a lot. I am fully prepared for the cold or so I think. I am going to be studying at King's College, Strand.

Ahh a very good university, and in London no less. I wish you all the best - say hello to the start of a new era. A lot of these universities should be having careers fairs and universities, don't forget to submit your CV and collect business cards. Try and get the university careers service/international advisers to look over your CV first though (different format). Yes - you said you [b]think [/b]you are fully prepared for the cold. In which case I doubt it,- LOL . But you may be so excited you won't feel the cold, come as soon as you can to settle in well and get your accommodation sorted, if you have family/friends in London, you should be okay.

@ 1z2much - I thought you should receive you visa letter the same day it says inscan at Oc, for all my students the Inscan at OC only lasted  a few hours before changing to Visa application ready in Ikeja. You can try emailing them and asking them what is happening to your application - that may speed things up. But it should be ready by now. I wish you all the best. Perhaps you should go and sit in the office. 

@ell77: thanks a lot. And about the "Inscan @ OC". Mine was like that all Tuesday and when I got to the collection centre it wasn't there. They asked me to be back the following day for it. I think iz2much needs to go to the centre and see if it's there.

Congrats Khadie. Now i'm waitin for iz2much's good news.
My bro went wit Arik and he had no complaints. Plus d fare aint bad so i reckon u give em a look. Online bookings r way cheaper too.

@debo, thats straight now. Just put GCE O/LEVELS. Which part of the form did they ask you to put your educational qualifications sef? I helped my bro in filling his application and i cant remember seeing anything as such. Just remember that whateva document or certificate u used in getting your admission, the originals must be included in your visa application.
