Tier4Dependant:Traditionally it is the line mgr or HR who should provide reference but you can use any trusted colleague (preferably senior to you). And you should let the potential employer know they cannot contact your current one until all other checks are complete/an offer is sure. That is what I did in my case |

igbsam: Your mum not working is not a crime....... You would have been upfront in your application letter, stating Grandma was coming to look after her only grandchild. She would be visiting for 3 month's and all expenses on your head (flight, accommodation, health insurance) etc etc......... 5 Likes 2 Shares |

Good evening guru in the house, this work visa teacher route precisely, that will commence this February, what are the requirements? And the Ireland work visa also that will commence this February what are the requirements also? Quick one please |

igbsam: He means you shouldn’t have said she does anything. Just said home maker or something similar. It’s tricky. But if I were you. I’d re-apply, stating that the previous application was filled by an agent or someone who sha made mistakes. State that she is a ‘homemaker’ or retired. And not doing anything just now. If your father is alive let him write a letter stating he’s aware his wife wants to travel to see their kids and come back. Then write a letter stating that you will be responsible for her flight, accommodation and feeding. Attach bank statements. Also attach her own statement as well. Even if it’s £500 there. That’s what I can think of just now. Cause proving business income especially for older people can be tricky. 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Buying a house can take up to 2 months+ for cash buyer and 3 months+ for those buying with mortgage. So, it is not that straightforward. Then, depending on your type of visa and credit rating, you might not get a mortgage. Also, the amount you have will likely not be enough deposit for you. Also, once you buy a house, you automatically lose the benefits of a first time buyer. So, buying another house will be difficult and you will need to pay huge stamp duty. JaySterling: 1 Like |

JaySterling: Depending on the location, a house that would contain 3 families could cost anywhere between £180k and £600k on the average and you need to make at least 10% down payment plus other fees. Also, having just arrived, you might not easily get a mortgage, the list goes on with regards to the challenges you will face. 3 families in a house, I really wanna know the City cos you will need a house with so many rooms. Maybe 5 rooms with at least 3 of them being double rooms On the Form A, not really possible. You have to find a way to move the funds via the black market so your N18m would just be £20k or less. I'd say you should shelf the house purchase idea for now. If you must live together (please don't), you can rent a place and if you save hard enough, in a year or 2, you can resurrect the house purchase idea. 3 Likes |

Lexusgs430: Does this work? People keep saying that Grandma must contribute something or at least her Bank Statement must be uploaded even if it has like N200k. Another challenge I think he had was that £1500 contribution from him may have been considered small. |

Lexusgs430: I'm about to apply for my Mother-in-law end of this month... She's a pensioner, gets monthly pension less than N100k but no balance as she spends it all. I got her sons to fund her account to about N250k last week though just as New Year gift/stipend. So I'm gonna sponsor. Until last month, I wasn't really keeping funds in my account. My income is good but I move it to my Stocks and Shares ISA and leave like £100 in my account but in the last few weeks, I got my Tax refund and some borrowers paid me back so the Account has seen inflow of several thousands and I intend to leave it that way till month end when I apply. Do I have to explain each of these inflows? Any other thing I need to be aware of before I apply? |

elengine:Quick one to ponder on. - How many audit cycle have you done - What's your involvement in the audit - which side of the audit are you: account, ITGC ... - subject to your involvement, role, what audit tools do you use, and - are you by chance integral part of the planning (scoping, what can go wrong analysis) and report (collation, analysis, mgt comments) Above might assist you in repositioning your CV and mapping your cover notes/letters based on the job specs. Inbtw, there're some standard steps/processes in audit across countries and continents. To answer you, easy I can't say, feasible yep! |

igbsam: Not just the bank statement, the ECO expects proof to support your claim that she has a business eg evidence of business name, bank statements in the name of the business and tax clearance etc, whereas if you had just stated she was a Homemaker there wouldn’t have been any need to provide the additional documents. |

Zahra29:I do say so from personal experience. I'm in a related industry and know SEVERAL immigrants being sponsored. While I was job hunting recently, the IT PM roles I saw and interviewed for, sponsorship was never an issue either. I also believe that once you know your onions, regardless of your industry, sponsorship is not going to be a barrier. |

You may follow the link and read on the YouKay gov site. Just for noting, not all schools requires QTS! However, QTS makes lotta difference! For Ireland, you may get better response on the Irish visa thread (see within Travel section) semmyk:See also www.gov.uk/guidance/recruit-teachers-from-overseas jagbasneh: semmyk: 1 Like |
