Asking for someone, pls how can someone get a factor work or kitchen assistance work in Liverpool.

Also, does a student tax exemption covers the partner too. Or will the partner pay his/her tax separately.

Kitchen assistant jobs are on indeed, just tailor your CV properly and you will get trial shift invite.

Student partners are not exempted from tax. They pay tax.

Even the student exempt could be as a result of the limited (20hrs) work. I believe, a student who goes against the rule and work more hours will be taxed or a student who gets paid above the tax free threshold will be taxed accordingly.

Good day seniors, I am a new student at the University of Leeds. Please I am in urgent need of an accommodation in Leeds. Please kindly help. Thanks

Just for regular yoruba guy pepper blending and maybe fit fam juice when belle don big but choi na expensive things i dey see here o

Thanks for the reference

If you consider price like me, and blends pepper and soft fruits only, Get an affordable George home blenda from a nearby ASDA. The good thing is, i have changed mine there after 9 months (the offer 2 years). if you have the reciept, you can get cash back. if you dont, you get a swap for exactly the same priduct.

folks i stayed with got an expensive one that also packed after blending beans, so cheap one with a no fuss warranty claim does it for me.

believe me, over 50% will leave the UK. I would have said 80% but since I did not carry out any survey, make I leave am for 50%.

I will be part of the 50/80% if Nigeria gets 40% better than it currently is

Very sad but true. One of the reasons myself and family are considering leaving right after naturalization. The immigration process is very expensive. Truth is immigrants contribute alot to the system. the sooner the immigrants also realize that the younger brits themselves are leaving the country. They only return when they are over 60's, to enjoy the pension and healthcare. Wages are low even with highly skilled jobs in comparison to other top economies, taxes are high, bills are high. May God help us all.

The UK government like to play dumb/busy on things that patterns to updating system or improving process, but smart when it comes to getting money off immigrants. When you think of how smart they claim and how they tend to act unaware to some things you can only tell it’s a selfish act.

If Nigeria ever gets a good president (now or in the nearest future), believe me, over 50% will leave the UK. I would have said 80% but since I did not carry out any survey, make I leave am for 50%.

The country is a rip off, environment is not healthy, people get serious health disease/infection without knowing what they have gotten. Spend lots of money on electronics (dehumidifier, purifier n its likes) just to stay healthy and alive.

To be honest, if not for language and security I would have preferred India or South Africa to living in this UK (that’s comparing with Nigeria’s current state).

Hello house.

Compliments of the season / happy new year ( I know January enter wella I great una )

Abeg I want to ask if I come in with cash from Nigeria around 4000 pounds, is there any advice on an account i should open or ways I can get concessions on that deposit .

Any tips on how I can leverage that money to help me I am a single person no kids and I will be coming with work visa

Thank you in anticipation

Anybody that have a shared accommodation in Swansea or that can house me for 10-14 days max?

JaySterling:
Hi, can someone please run me through the process of buying a land and building a house in the UK

Or is it not possible?

It's very possible. Just travel anywhere interstate by rail or road and you will see vast areas of green space not being used for anything or by anyone.

I dont know about coming in with that amount but what i did was come with 700 pounds cash then had the rest transferred to my revolut account (which i opened as soon as i got my UK sim at the airport)

Came in with 4,000 too

Opened a Monzo account and then transferred what I wanted to my account at a local shop. Same can be done at a P.O

You can also open a regular Lloyds account and deposit there

Thanks for the insight.

From your experience, how does a BCS-certified get started with jobs?

There are limited/no roles that do not request experience. Even the junior BA roles are experience-based.

Would appreciate your thoughts and pointers.

It's not really about the money which In my opinion should not be first considered as a new immigrant. You need to have the required skills, experience and credentials especially UK-recognised qualifications to stand out. I know in recent times, KYC and AML (anti-money laundering) related roles are becoming more in demand. Audit especially Technical Audit (a combo of audit and analytics) is becoming more popular. In all, the issues of climate change which is now known as ESG reporting which is a requirement by govt for most companies now have heightened the need for financial reporting with ESG ( Environmental and social governance) expertise. I think with these, one will have an advantage in getting high-end roles or jobs. The question however is if one meets the requirements.

I don't work in any of these areas so my knowledge may be limited. Am a Business Analyst within program and change management. I only have some knowledge of ESG as I have taken some courses in it.

Same situation, switching from student. Main applicant did not get link, only dependant partner. Family of 4 and its just cheaper to put career on one side first and use Health and care to be exempted from IHS for now. Maybe next year o but not now. Thank God it's support work. I was even comparing the services. Premium lounge was 40k or so in Nigeria. Here it is 250pounds. Kilode?

mizGene:
I have just applied for a tier 2 update.

For some reason, I didn't get the immigration ID check app invite like before, I had to book a physical appointment...Anyone know why? Or they just figured they are not making money through that?

No appointments available anytime within 3 weeks, the few available appointments were in crazy far places and also not free..so unfair. Why does one need to pay for an appointment slot after paying for visa?? Why not make the free slots available for all?

Also the IHS thing is really annoying. I have switched or updated Visas a couple of times, each time I had some months (3 to 5) leftover but they conveniently forget how to do proper accounting and bring a balance forward.. but if you owe the government one pound of tax or debt, they will come after you even 20years later with a hammer.
Also when you think about it, For those working in exempt organisations...why do they need to pay that IHS in the first place and then come back to claim a refund?? The home office has access to national databases, they have the sponsor licence number and this should be enough to let those ppl off but no, they want them to pay amd probably forget about claiming or if they switch visas in future, they won't meet the 6 months payslip criteria for claims..

I feel exploited sha sha especially because I needed this urgently and didn't have a choice and also because I have just haemorrhaged some hard earned cash..
All these students and people with families doing PSW and tier 2 processing....I can only imagine what they go through

We plenty. We don get the degree and work experience from them. We go use am better our own country when we feel safe to go back home. A lot of multinationals folded up in Naija from 2016, but I am sure they will come back as soon as Naija begin progress again. Then we go work for them and get our competitive pay and live for our country.

I have a feeling it wasn’t like this before. Maybe covid played a major role. Or secret mismanagement by the government or wrong plans. But I think it’s costing us a lot and even when they pay you the said BIG SALARY, it still doesn’t give you up to the better life you had with the small old salary. I am beginning to feel like it cost too much to live in the country. The most painful part is the health. How do you have flu regularly. I have family and friends who had kids before me, I never heard anyone complain regularly about their kids having regular infection from nursery. How do you live with the possibility of your child being ill for an average of 10 times (+ or -) in a year. It’s disturbing.

I don’t want to talk about reason why people (even our Nigerians) here are beginning to consider home schooling. My wife’s friend who’s from South Africa home school their 2 kids (she n her husband) because they are trying to protect the kids from some things taught in schools (they said).

To be honest, I don’t know too. The only challenge I have now is data protection laws in my field. You have to be in europe if you want to work for a European firm. And Australia only allows as far as New Zealand for same data protection reason.

Hopefully, my angels will whisper a better way to my ears soonest.

Hello everyone.
My contract will be expiring in 5 months, same time the validity of my BRP ends.
I'm sure of getting a contract extension from my employer.
The question now is, will letting agencies and landlords give me a rent now knowing fully well my BRP ends in 5 months? I'm really eager to change my apartment.

For those that have gotten their ILR through skilled worker route ,is it a must for your employer must have paid up to the minimum annual going rate at the end of a year for their employee eg for some of my folks that are carer ,the minimum annual wage set by the the home office should be 20,480pounds per year but what about if their wages dont meet up tp that target due to the fault of their employer not getting jobs enough to spread around to meet up with their 40 hours per week.Hope thiis kind of issue wont create problem for the employee visa conditons

With first-hand on-the-ground experience of Southie (SA or South Africa),
- it's not so much of language. One can express him/herself in most areas in English with ease. Perhaps, in certain settlements typically refer to t as 'location' or Kasi, where one becomes a target! Same in the bundus (deep rural areas). Wells same for Orania (deep 'rural' Afrikaner settlement)
- Security is a concern. However, it varies from area to area. Nonetheless, general precaution is of the essence.
- there are other deep rooted issues. SA, beneath the obvious surface, is battling #survival.
- by the way, electricity is on loadshedding (rolling darkness) with no end in sight (at least for the next one year).
Yet, SA has entrenched (working) structures (infrastructure, processes) working for her. These are under threat though!

My journey was a story...........

Please how are you guys traveling to other European countries? Do you just buy train tickets and go or you have to apply for visa beforehand? I can’t find any reliable information on the interwebs.

For reference I’m talking of Italy, France, Nederlands, Greece.

EDIT

i remember these guys, they will send you an email after applying and say you didnt get in but you can pay for one of their other programmes

Really? Thank God I didn't bother

Go apply for a Schengen visa...... One Schengen visa, would take you into all European countries ........

Either drive, get a train ticket, flight ticket or get a bicycle.......... Anything is possible........

I believe most parts of the world are battling survival too. Atleast we all live in the UK n we can honestly say the country is battling survival n they are not doing so well, even with the numerous levels of support from the government. A lot of African country will do far better if half of this support is extended to its citizens.

The order of importance of things in my life is:

1. Health
2. Security
3. Then every other things …………..

Health is the biggest, n with what I am seeing here in the UK, we might have a similar health situation like in some/most low African countries where they need medical aid from external sources/governments or countries.

It hurts me when I hear some nurses earn around/below £26k per annum. I think they do far better jobs to earn higher than that. Especially considering the cost of living is high in the country. A doctor or nurse shouldn’t suffer, you need their mind n brain to be at peace to continue their good work. I can’t be thinking of heater at home for my kids or rent n you expect me to attend to patients or attend to them nicely.
