Please talking about this LISA, IA it true you can only use the funds for a new build assuming your plan is to use the money to buy a house.

Also please is the 25% government is giving considered public funds.

For someone like me looking to open one, when is the best time to start?

Thank you.

Hi everyone, something happened in my house recently, there was a leakage that soaked the pop, and it fell on my head, it happened on Sunday, my landlady said pay half of next rent, she'll fix it this week. Today is Wednesday nothing has been done, she is telling me that the laborer's van is in the shop which doesn't make any sense to me. My work is very tough and I come back to sleep on the couch in the common room with no privacy, wake up with body pains I think I am taken for granted. What can I do?

Go private. There are several private hospitals around and appointments are more readily available.

Hello All

Just a quick question

Is it possible to get sponsorship and still remain on 20 hours per week while still studying?

Can one switch visas based on that?

Thank you!

Debawen:
I made the application once for my wife, son and myself.

kode12:


The 20hr/work restriction is a Tier4/Student visa restriction, if change visas, you're no longer bound by the rules of the former visa

hustla:


Thanks for your reply

But then, if i change visas, will i still be able to complete Uni? Assuming all I have left to do is my project /thesis

Promoter2:


Up to you and your employer.

Hello house, please I've come with my questions again.
Please, if a person on UKRI funded PhD happens to get a sponsorship and wants to switch visa while still continuing with the PhD (won't interfere with normal school activities), do you think the school would have a problem with it or withdraw the funding? After careful consideration personally, I'd like to hear the opinions of y'all should I have missed to factor in something important. Please what are the pros and cons?

Global Talent, in a way, is a spin off Tier 1, the part that was covered by the defunct HSMP (which I had b4 collapse). Global Talent now covers more ground. In a way, it bridges the gap between the (difficult to scale) Tier 1 and the old HSMP.
... researcher/academic route: www.gov.uk/global-talent-researcher-academic
... ...
The researcher route would appeal to those that are research 'active'. Although a PhD is expected, it is not an absolute bar. IMHO, even if with a Master, one might scale through: your publications and research outputs count. The researcher route has about four sub-routes. The two I consider straightforward are
- Receiving a research fund (NB: this is from a UK listed research agency and not just the ones you get for doctorate research)
- get a (qualifying) research job

... the UK Gov explicitly allows you. Also, most universities clarifies this.
[https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa]
What you can and cannot do
With a Skilled Worker visa you can:
- work in an eligible job
- study
- ... ...

Overview from Gov.uk
A Skilled Worker visa allows you to come to or stay in the UK to do an eligible job with an approved employer.
This visa has replaced the Tier 2 (General) work visa.

KCL (Kings College) emphasise that you “must intend to work”. Invariably, working becomes primary and study secondary! Ditto, the reverse

USW (South Wales) goes further to put beyond doubt
If you are in the UK in a work related immigration category..., you may undertake study that fits around your work. There is no condition which prohibits study. Therefore you are free to undertake part time or full time study whilst you are working. You should however be mindful of the following issues:
Work/study balance ... ...
Length of the course and visa expiration date ...
Leaving and re-entering the UK ...
What do you intend to do afterwards? ...

Kindly note that a number of UK universities have not updated their websites: Tier 2, Tier 4, Tier 5!!

semmyk:
My honest opinion will be aim to move to Global Talent Visa (Researcher route). Why? With a UKRI funding, if it were me, my focus will be on ensuring publishing in top 20 9r top 60 journal in the discipline (at worst at least a journal on Scopus). Once the PhD is completed or with about 6 mths to the end of the PhD 9r once submitted or submitting the thesis, you go all out for PGRA posts. Currently, with an offer, with publication and with a PhD (or PhD in view) , you should get Global Talent Visa (researcher route). It comes with tons of benefits!
NB: for the Global Talent Researcher route, you do not have to be in digital technology.

PS: I'll perhaps chip in that one is not compelled to spend the full 3 (or 4 yrs) for PhD. It's (technically) possible within the 2nd to 3rd gap!
In any case, opting to work (switch visa) and fast tracking your PhD boils down to personal choice.

With all above said, holding on to your UKRI funding might 'get a K leg'. However, it depends on the funding condition, which we're not privy to.

Oh yeah, this may just be the perfect explanation. Because, I used to take UK police and intelligence for granted till I watched some movies and documentaries which led me into some kind of research.

Men, the country no dey play o..... they are not noisy like USA, but they will sniff you out silently.

If you can make a case for your self and family with the Police headquarters fraud dept in Lagos or better still inform EFCC with all necessary evidence, you should get your money back.

Dear All,
I urgently need an answer to this.
can we (my wife and I) travel separately on Tier 2 dependent UK visa even if we have mentioned 'we will travel together' on our visa application?
Dependent intend to go one month after but want to process visa together
