I really don’t think it’s possible not to exceed the tax free amount because 20 hours will most likely give you £800 p/m and I don’t think there’s any job that will pay you just £300 so you can remain tax free.

Yeh I'm sure the Indians do it too however their immigrant community also largely does not have a great image. You don't hear of Australian, American or even Chinese students breaking rules in the same way

Hello Guys.

Aside Matalan, Boohoo where else can I get good clothes.?

If you had watched UK border force, anyone can breach the Immigration rules regardless of nationality 👀

It's very possible. Someone is earning £18k (0.5 FTE) working around 19hours a week

Phayie:


800x12= 9,600

Earning like 900-1k monthly will give you about 12k?

Good morning everyone,

please my friend unfortunately had to work more than 20 hours because the bills were too much and he’s also the first child of the family so he had to pay siblings school fees and take care of his family back home in Nigeria.

He only started Working 34 hours after lectures was over and they were writing dissertation as he had exhausted every savings so needed money badly, It’s time for psw but he’s scared of doing the Visa because he doesn’t want to be caught and deported.

I’ve told him to try his luck and see what happens but he’s saying he doesn’t want to risk it, please is there any way for him to explain to the VO maybe in a cover letter or something else why he had to work those hours,

is it a bit better that he started working past 20 hours after lectures but during dissertation writing, can he also get a care sponsorship job as it is 2 months before the expiration of his visa and he’s been trying for weeks to get a care job but no luck.

Please don’t ignore as all advise are welcomed and my friend is very depressed now, we are trying to help but scared he might unalive himself because the financial pressure of going back to Nigeria might be too much.

Preshyi:
Yes, got my documents back in 1 working week

Hello, please I need advice. I met my boyfriend(African-British) a few months ago and we plan to get married later this year. Unfortunately, I found out we are both of AS genotype. I'm optimistic about not having kids with sickle cell but since it can't be ruled out, I want to ask if the UK government provides adequate and free health programs for such or if the sickle cell treatment issue is the same here as it is in Nigeria

Pieces of Advice will be appreciated. Thanks

Gosh, Nigerians and wilful breaking of rules. Then said rules get tightened and Nigerians get an even worse name...

hi hi, pls I have a question..

If you're sponsoring your parents' trip (flights, accommodation documents showing they can stay with you, etc) and lets say they're still employed.

1. Do you need to still show their own bank statements to show their salary inflow?

2. Does their inflow and outflow from the salary bank account matter?

Or just my bank statements and payslips are the main focus here?

Please I need experiences from those who sponsored their parents who are still employed.. what documents were submitted?

Thanks.

See my friend keep quiet if you don't know what you are saying, if you have it easy in life most people don't.

The Chinese, Koreans and Co. get loans from their government to come and study. In this UK financial crisis how do you want to cope if you are handling your accommodation, transport and other fees if you are doing just 20 hours, especially if you are staying in London or Manchester.

We as Nigerians, we are hardworking and if the job is there we will do it and make our money to survive.

The funny thing is that most employers are not even happy with this 20 hours rule, because they are looking for workers but they are limited because of this 20 hours rule.

I met a British man one time that was complaining about how most of their citizens don't want to come out to work anymore, they'd rather work from home instead. He said in his city, shops and the mall closes by 4pm because they don't have people to employ for evening shifts and what he appreciate about Nigerians is that they are always willing to work.

rayralph:


You’ll rather throw insults at a total stranger online instead of writing a petition to UKVI to increase working hours.

Rules are rules irrespective of your economic status/background.

Nigerians will blatantly flout orders, then shout racism/blame the devil when it’s time to face the consequence.

Then goto church/mosque for thanksgiving or share testimony

This is why NIG. Politicians will continue to steal without fear of retribution.

Or police man demand for bribe without fear of being fired

The only thing that took my time was getting a stamp pad for fingerprinting. I literally got the certificate in 3days, I was so impressed at how seamless and superfast it was. A police officer I contacted was telling me 45k plus DHL waybill to the UK, God pass them!!!

Thanks brother. Been trying that website and it's giving errors since. I'll try again at night.

Afternoon Everyone. Abeg. ,I wan make enquiry into the bus fare in uk. How is calculated, is it base on monthly payment as I wan try cut my coat accordingly make transport fare no eat all my earnings like it does in lagos where one go dey earn 150k monthly and use 75k as T fare grin.

So, who fit explain this for me abeg. grin

Is that for bus or train services. And how can one know the daily fare to and fro.

I gat do my calculations well b4 I go collect house 🏠 😄

And again. Hope it's allowed to use bicycle. If worst comes to worst. Nah bicycle go end am o.

Solumtoya:


1. Yes. You still need to show their Bank Statement which will correlate with their financial circumstances. It doesn't need to have a huge balance but let their employment revenue show.

2. Yes, it matters. Let it make sense. Your parents cannot be earning N100k monthly and have an unexplained massive inflow.

Extra tip: Im your cover letter and application, explain any inflow/outflow that might cause the Officer to bounce the application

Transport costs will depend on where you are going. If you frequent a particular location in the city, say for work, it might be better to pay for the weekly or monthly ticket. Will save you some money. Or if you have to make several journeys to and fro a particular location just for a day, you can buy a 24hr ticket. Otherwise, you can pay as you enter each bus. Also consider whether you will board 2 different buses to get to work, instead of paying twice each day, your weekly or monthly ticket covers this. Let's do the maths: if for instance, you spend 6 quids each day on bus, and you work for 4 days a week, that's 24 pounds; the weekly ticket might be 20 pounds. So you are saving 4 pounds a week.

For long distant journeys, trains are faster but more expensive. Download coach apps, you can get cheaper prices online than you will get at the office.

Drey1:


Okay. Thanks a bunch. But from that picture I uploaded. Is that coach or train ma. And yes. To and fro from work to house . Need to know how much it will cost on a daily basis .
