senny: Perhaps try looking for a new sponsor that will agree to compensate your current company for your relocation expenses. Your current company might accept this, even if the amount is less than £6k, if they are satisfied that they have recovered their costs |

Zahra29: What on paper and reality on ground might be two different things.... everyone wants to work in a good environment but the reality is a lot of it can be toxic.... so been transparent means nothing. There no where the employer said hold on, come join us but we are very terrible as well |

AKALAMAGBO: Yes I saw one... the new people haven't sorted accommodation so employer gave a room aka accomodation. The new employees turns up and see 4 people have been allocated to share this one room So 4 unrelated people who don't know each other from Adam are told to share a double bed and now the employer is giving them a shift of 12hours but only paying 6 hours. This just slavery and has becoming an annoying trap .the lady who been there for 5-months said nobody to complain or they cancel your cos so all working 12 hours and been paid 6 4 Likes 1 Share |

LagosismyHome: Wow, this sounds really bad...just curious, is the employer English or African, Asian, other ? The care industry sounds like it's one whistleblower away from being all over the news, and that's likely what needs to happen for the correct regulations and reforms to be enforced. Guardian and channel 4 news are very good at exposing and highlighting these types of stories |

MrMash: Apply with your bank - assuming you have an account with one of the high street banks and have maintained a reasonable balance, that'll give you the strongest chance. 5 months is short to be able to access some of the major providers like Sainsbury's, MBNA etc, but you might as well try. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Lexusgs430: 11:34pm On Nov 10, 2022 |
MrMash: Start by downloading totallymoney/Equifax app.......... Check your credit score, then run a loan eligibility test ......(it's a soft search, that gives you a score)....... Even if your loan application fails, start by obtaining some form of credit...... So creditor's can gauge your credit management.......... 6 Likes 2 Shares |

progress160: The details on this are sketchy and gives the vibe of somethings not being said. There are too many red flags. Denying you your payslip has the potential to land the company in much more trouble. Fact is, the treatment you're receiving would not stop until something gives. 2 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by semmyk(m): 7:18am On Nov 11, 2022 |
My view on some of the issues being raised on work and treatment would be NB: I understand each circumstances are different and/or unique 1. Have realistic expectation 2. Have personal expectation and goal 3. Do not be dictated by round-the-mill talks. People will always talk (right from the garden of Eden) 4. For 'japaing' purposes, be clear within yourself (and your spouse if applicable) what your goal, expectation and reality are 5. Know who you are 6. No 4 repeated. Listen but act less or be swayed less by all the talk-in-town 7. African, especially Nigerians exaggerate with reckless abandon 8. Drop 'your' 9ja gra gra. Read, and read, and read on rules/policies. Gov.uk is an invaluable friend that sticketh closer than any else!!! 9. Explore, be open mined yet focused and purposeful 10. Follow your heart Beware! the typical 9ja gra gra! doesn't sort all things. Whether the UK or Europe or anywhere else, even South Africa, Kenya ... I'll highly recommend using the passive-aggressive approach. The subtle but firm standing of one's ground: not overly visibly aggressive and/or resentful. Follow the recourse process. Build full proof 'evidences'. Render work services with utmost professionalism and integrity. In the post below, I made reference to some work related sites, they are not exhaustive. However, they provide insights on work related matters. Reading them and the follow-on links would provide the core/key essentials. All the best to everyone. Oluwa a fun gbogbo wa se.

The underlined changes your dynamics in the ordinary sense of it. (Well, based on what you narrated) Seemly, you're no longer dealing with #relocation, rather, you're faced with #redundancy. The operative word is no longer 'discussing', but 'consulting' #beware Let your spouse work with a labour lawyer or a unionist.

My people I greet una well. I have a little question. When applying for health and care worker dependent visa, I saw the following 2 options for identification: -have their fingerprints and photograph taken at a visa application centre - this is to get a biometric residence permit -use the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to scan their identity document - they’ll also create or sign in to their UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account. Can someone kindly confirm if the second option is available for Nigerians? And if it is, does that mean I don't have to go to UK embassy? Thanks mucho |

seunoj:[quote author=seunoj post=118295108] Thank you so much for the response , didn’t know how i managed to skip that information. I appreciate. Also if you don’t mind , I would like to ask what documents can one upload , I saw that I am to upload evidence though I haven’t filled the application to that point. And my previous application as a student , I had filled that I was going to stay in school hostel but I ended up staying with family and now they are asking me about my accommodation. How do I explain the contrast between my initial accommodation option on the previous application and the fact that I stay with family now. |

progress160: Your dependent can stay on their current visa ...also if you see where to switch. Yes you can just keep it very quiet until you see the new visa . If the new company agrees you give u a new cos you are good to go They might say why switching when only one month but if they agree and issue you a new cos then go for it |
