AirBay: No not me. I'm asking for a friend but I doubt he is. Should he do this before coming here? What next afterwards please? Can he get jobs as a microbiologist or he needs to do certifications Thank you for responding |

Good evening beautiful people, please I have a question. I apply for a say 5 year visitor visa for my mum. I want to understand how it really works. The maximum stay of a visitors visa is 6 months. If for example she stays for 5 months and goes back to Nigeria and then she comes back after 1 month and then stays 5 months, has she violated any visa rules? What is the best way to maximise the use of this visa. Thanks in advance. cc justwise fatima04 lexusgs430 ticha and all the sabi people on this thread |

Guys in the house, Why is it so hard for Accountants in industry to get job with sponsorship? Excluding the big 4's and other top 20 firms that recruits auditors in practice |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Peerielass: 6:18pm On Jun 27, 2023 |
hyzich: Probably because it’s not a profession that’s on the shortage occupation list. Although there’s a high demand for Accountants, there’s also sufficient pool of accountants locally to meet the demand so no need for sponsorship and recruiting form abroad. Secondly some of the jobs in industry require solid UK experience and knowledge unlike auditing where procedures are more standardised hence more transferable skills. 2 Likes |

Peerielass: I am actually talking about sponsorship for those already in the UK. I somewhat agree with you about the pool and i think it's easier to get into the profession after highschool and get trained till you get qualified |

hyzich: Sponsorship for those in UK and recruiting from abroad are practically the same thing to an employer. Same process, same documentation and costs required in terms of visas and COS etc Why would they go through the stress of sponsorship when there’s a pool of qualified accountants who as you mentioned have risen through the rank and file as school leavers and have the requisite knowledge and experience they need. 5 Likes |

harddrive2012: While ICAN in theory is equivalent to cima, acca, icaew. In practice some recruiters could look down on ican so your focus should be the uk chartered accountancy qualification. You can do a conversion for icaew and cima with ican but I think you need a few years of experience (post qualification I think). Acca is more straightforward 1 Like |

Don't think there should be an issue mentioning the Job title. Its fine if you don't mention the employer and i agree to that but not the role. You might have not mentioned the job if you didn't want to mention at least the job title as its expected for people to ask such gmacnoms: |

dustydee: I meant, since both parents would start working full time, the kids eould need company. 1). If I state in her application that she will stay for 30 days in her first visit but ends up spending 5 months at a stretch, don't you think it will impact her next renewal? 2). On the other hand, if I state in her application that she will spend 5 months, don't you think it will look like she wants to settle in the UK? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by cbn4main: 8:54pm On Jun 27, 2023 |
bigtt76:We are not settled. We are on Tier 2 visa. Is there something like Child care visit visa? Like, I mean, can I state categorically that she is visiting for child care purposes? Would this fly? |

You can bring as soon as possible but you dont need make plans of marriage because you want to get your partner to be with you (Mentioned because i have seen it happen often) Actually you bring your partner through an "Unmarried Partner" route. You just need to show evidence of living together for 2 years through a tenancy agreement where both names will be included, Joint bank account or joint insurance coverage plan Newbie123: 1 Like |

cbn4main: It shouldn't but then there is also no harm in estimating a more accurate duration. I just make sure I follow the guidelines. First was to stay for around 4 months, she ended up staying for 5months +. Renewed and stayed for about 5 months. Subsequent one was 2years visa which she used twice. Can't remember how long each visit lasted. |
