You should be entitled to some basic maternity leave payment........ UK no wicked like that .......🙂

It's not everyone who gets the Statutory maternity pay either. I think you need to work for about 14-16 weeks before you can qualify. I remember I didn't get any as well because I only worked for 13weeks before I went on leave.

There are two list: eligible and shortage. One a subset of the other and interlinked.
Both (below) linked to Skilled Worker visa: your job - link

Check Skilled Worker visa: eligible occupations and codes - link

To check Skilled Worker visa: shortage occupations - link

On the skilled worker visa eligibility list, not necessarily the shortage occupation list.

To start counting towards your 5 yrs for ILR ,the permanent job gotten must be on the shortage occupation list and the employer must be ready to sponsor you and a COS must issued for that

If you don’t get SMP, you should get Maternity Allowance and it’s not means tested nor subject to immigration control.

Does it mean those with permanent job that’s NOT on the shortage occupation list are wasting their time?

As long as the job can sponsor you, you're good to go. Doesn't necessarily have to be on the shortage occupation list.

Nice one. Did you registered successfully for ER or you were rejected? I got my AMEX within weeks of entering the UK.

You might be right on the Clearscore using Experian. Most of them interconnect but Experian takes longer to update your scores compared to TransUnion (I use them through Totally Money - free).



Hello, how did you go about the address thing. I cannot find a way to impute Nigerian address. And I still can't register with clearscore because they required 3years UK address. Is there something I am doing wrong?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by AlphaUno: 1:42pm On Jan 30, 2023
Still on this issue ……..

Transpecie
Transaged
Transabled : felt like should have been born disabled, so cut off hand or leg or go blind.
Transparent : A man identifying as a mother and not as a father anymore and vice versa.

This is just the beginning.

Pls if you feel you should have been born brown or white, grin , feel free to go transracial - it’s allowed!

I now identify as ……….’wait for it’, let me think it thru cool

sorry for my error ,it is not actually not compulsory for the job to be on the shortage occupation list ,job being on the shortage occuaption help to build more point to get a skilled visa (it runs on point based system just like canada ).What is most important is for your employer to be willng to offer you sponsorshop in form of COS and your ability to gather points to meet the criteria .

Hello.

It's Urgent

I am leaving my apartment and my landlord is refusing to give me the Last year Deposit because moulds grew in the house. The house is quite old and susceptible to moulds. I tried to clean but at a time, the mould overtook everywhere.

The Landlord is arguing that I should have ventilated the house enough. I should open my window so that cold will kill me?

She's arguing I should repaint. I had someone take a quotation and they charged 800£.

Please I need advice.


If you must paint, then DIY

Boss am confused o. Is the shortage list not same with skilled worker list.

So are you saying there can be An employer that has license to sponsor even though such employer's niche is not in the listed list of shortage occupations?

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by mimilyrics: 5:26pm On Jan 30, 2023
Shortage occupation: there are not enough resident workers to fill the available jobs in that particular sector.
Skilled worker: any worker who has special skill, training, knowledge which they can then apply to their work.

A licenced employer can sponsor skilled workers whether they are or not they are on the shortage occupation list depending on the industry and the job type.
An individual on the shortage occupation list gets sponsored for a skilled worker visa but a skilled worker doesn't necessarily have to work in a shortage occupation to get a skilled worker visa as long as they have an eligible job role. Both get sponsored for skilled worker visas when successful.

so far such employer job is in the skilled worker list and has a license to sponsor ,then you are good to go .Shortage occupation list is a subset of skilled worker list .The advantage of having your job on the shortage occupation list that you will be able to acquired more points on the point based skilled worker visa application.

Please what is the Nigerian equivalent qualification for A level?
I think WASCCE is GCSE equivalent
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by CheesyTee(f): 8:57pm On Jan 30, 2023
Did you apply for PSW? You can submit your visa application as an evidence to your employer... The delay is not from you.

Hi daddies and mummies.

I just finished my masters and I've exposed to two opportunities. A professional job in data analytics but doesn't sponsors and a care job that sponsors.



Pls which would be my best shot considering I'll love to stay in UK abd as well I love the analytics job.

Nothing wrong with the care job with (Skilled Worker) sponsorship.
For me, the option will be data analytics on my PSW, gain valuable experience, build tangible profile, then prospect for sponsorship DS/DA jobs.

Technically, yes: WASCCE/SSCE is equivalent of GCSE. It's not GCE-A.
However, most UK univ have 'special' recognition for 9ja!
Leeds got your back for A levels equivalent: AAA or AAB at A level - https://business.leeds.ac.uk/dir-record/lubs-qualifications/532/nigeria
Oxford Brooke kinda puts it lightly - https://www.brookes.ac.uk/study/international-students/your-country/nigeria/entry-requirements

Good Evening Ancestors! I'm asking on behalf of a friend
She is about to relocate to the UK on Dependant/spousal visa and she asked me some questions which I don't have answer to
1...She is a medical doctor with more than 5years experience in Nigeria but she is not willing to practice in the UK though she intend to have GMC registration but she prefers it is her last option. So, what long term job can she do in the UK? Any certications she can obtain?? Can she venture into IT or pharmaceuticals?? Note that her background in Nigeria is just medicine no other experience though she has Cambridge A levels certificate (GCE A LEVELS)
2...what is the difference between support worker, carer, healthcare assistants because she intends to get a job as soon as she lands so as to keep body and soul together. Oh she prefers the one without personal care
3...On jobs she can do, can it be remote/hybrid/night shift because she has twin toddlers in which they want to reduce childcare cost
Any pointers are welcome
She really want to change career but so confuse
She will be reading.
