Poanan: A simple question without context or relevance to my argument. I’ve not advocated for reverse or zero migration, in fact I’ve criticized the merry-go-round position (come today, go tomorrow is unfair and wrong). Rather I believe “sustainable” migration should be the goal. Since we’re creating boogeyman arguments now — why do you want the UK to open the floodgates and banish visas/immigration controls so 10million people can come in annually? It’s foolhardy to think there’s no limit to how many can come regardless of who came first. Every civilized nation has border controls for reason. 4 Likes |

Goke7: Hmmm, that's not bad at all.. 3 years also isn't bad. During that time, one should be able to get a better paying role Thought its blanket for everyone regardless of where they're coming from. One last Q, does it apply to those in Tech and maybe HR also? 1 Like |

Poanan:You may be right. While I understand the intention behind the policies as it is necessary for govt to safeguard the interests of the citizen.However, it's funny to see the support these policies receive from Nigerians with settled status in and out of Nairaland, endorsing these measures, perceiving them as beneficial, despite the grievances expressed by the British citizens themselves on some of these policies that affect them. Most people migrate overseas in search of better opportunities, and this includes these individuals as well regardless of the route be it working or studying. People just like to create competition where there’s none. 7 Likes |

Poanan: When are you bringing your entire family/village so it results in uncontrolled chain migration? Seems your issue is actually comprehension not immigration policy. If you like cry from now till tomorrow, all countries will continue to reserve the right to control their borders, including our beloved country Nigeria (remember Ghana must go), FGS people are even asking people to go back to their home states in Nigeria, yet you can’t understand why govt would want to control migration numbers. Continue in your folly, I wish you all the best. 7 Likes |

Is this for your mobile phone or mobile broadband? Whichever it is, make sure you call or chat the Customer Service Desk every week for 4 - 6 weeks straight mentioning the difficulties experienced. They might offer to send a replacement SIM at first - take it. Keep complaining and let them know how it is causing you a massive Distress and Inconvenience. Let them know you'd like to cancel and look for less stressful arrangements after canceling. Three Mobile just agreed to cancel my mobile broadband with 14 months left on the contract. Good luck. . oluwaleokey: 4 Likes |

triplo3:You have not still answered that simple question. Cos they are talking about controlled immigration, you are seeing yourself as one them cos of your status and this is what the British do not like. You come here and dont want to leave. I don't want to believe that you have come here to occupy without a plan to leave. So i ask again "when are you leaving the uk?" 5 Likes |

Goke7: It's very obvious from the response that those on 2/3 years work visa won't be able to apply for their dependants at renewal because they said only 25% of dependants are working. 1 Like |

Goddys:All years spents on skilled visa for a particular applicant and even with that applicant changing employers or occupation , so far it comes with tier 2 sponsorship it will still count towards 5 years ilr and will not reset 1 Like |

Goddys:I doubt it because dependant that have already spent 2/3 years are on a dependant skilled visa are also on a pathway to ILR just like main applicant. And Ilr is treated independently that is main applicant doesn't affect dependant and vice versa Where a new immigration rule can into effect is when an applicant or dependant is changing to another visa route after the new rule is already on . Even as a student visa dependant, by default they are already on 10 years route to ILR ,and if this pathway can be maintained for that 10 years I don't think any new government law can touch them from getting their ILR. The only fear is those on student visa that are yet to get their COS after spring and if its a carer COS it possible their dependant can be rejected . |

ReesheesuKnack: 😹 Exactly what I was going to say. There's always the possibility that the symptoms are real, but even if the doctor genuinely believes the patient is lying, what’s the incentive to begin a fracas over a sick note? It’s not like the patient wants to take a bedspace or use facilities that the doctor would need to allot people triaged as being in more danger to. Particularly because disproving the patient’s claims will likely require costly and time-intensive tests, all while risking being accused of not being sympathetic or something ‘ist’ depending on the patient’s demographics. 1 Like |

So much uncertainty. Will this new rule affect renewals for care visa? Will they ask every dependent to leave the country by march? Omo, this one choke oo |

Apparently, some things that are very common-sensical aren’t. The recent rules aim a cutting NET migration. For visa holders who are already in-country, the rules that will apply to them are the rules that were in place AT THE TIME OF ORIGINAL VISA APPROVAL. The rules can only be applied to New Arrivals, from New Applications. Honestly, people should stop all these mindless postulations. There is precedence. When the Tier-1 (HSMP) rules were changed, the courts ruled that the rules can not be applied to persons already granted on previous rules. 2 Likes |

hustla: It’s not correct. ILR eligibility is calculated based on time that a person has worked in the UK, and their salary over the period and at the time of application. Number of employers is irrelevant. https://www.gov.uk/indefinite-leave-to-remain-tier-2-t2-skilled-worker-visa 4 Likes |
