Interesting. Thanks for sharing. So this means for it to count, all man must de dem de as either MA or Dependent all through the journey for ILR?

A quick question guys. So i met with some couples during one of our outings and we got talking. The company he got a sponsorship with offered him 2yrs sponsorship, his wife is working with the nhs and was offered sponsorship as well, but due to child care.

I’d rather allow my spouse to be on NHS sponsorship than me being non sponsorship.

1. NHS offer flexible working arrangement.

2. NHS is around 3 days working in a week for three times and 4 days working for the fourth week which mean 3,3,3,4 = 37.5hrs x4 weeks. ( I don’t know if that applies to England as well, but yes in Scotland, tho the days might interpolate). Meaning she will mostly be working 3 days a week, with mixture of nights and days. Some week all night shift and some other week all day shift, I don’t know if exchanging shift with colleague applies. (But most employer understands the needs for family commitments, which shouldn’t be a problem)

3. In my own perspective, working flexible as husband will give me option to explore other options.

4. NHS is government funded, so Job security shouldn’t be a problem.

5. There are possibilities of career progression from band 3 to 4 etc for an unrelenting person in NHS.

6. Most importantly consider the fact that your ilr will start counting again if you switch role or primary sponsor, should NHS give 3 years sponsor first, you are likely to get the remaining years to complete your 5 years, and here in Scotland NHS mostly give 5 years straight.

Just an opinion, considering your options carefully.

Honestly, this is new for me. Here to learn. We couldn't find a common ground to this question, so i decided to ask here and hopefully he finds out on his part too

I barely see people talk about Ireland and wales here. Discussion is always surrounding England and Scotland I will like to know why this is so. Don't we have Nigerians living in Wales and Ireland these two countries are also a part of UK.

Just sharing my thoughts because I really want to know more about Ireland and securing a graduate job their. Also I will like to know about their child care because I look forward to giving birth in the nearest future. I just need to know more and awaits my graduation.

Thank you guys.

There is an ever-growing population of Nigerians in Wales from Newport, Cardiff to Swansea. The challenge is Wales do not have plenty of sponsorship jobs so most Nigerians don't settle finally in Wales but those who manage to settle want to have nothing to do with England as Wales is a very peaceful place to raise a family and just live a quiet peaceful life. Medical treatment from the Nhs is completely free as there is no payment for prescription at all.

True, mostly. Number 6 though, it doesn't reset if you switch sponsor.

I mean switching sponsor between the spouse, husband initially main applicant then switch to wife as main applicant. Not when either one of the two switched sponsor.

Also very cheap accommodation with almost free council tax, got this info from a thread on Twitter about people sharing how much they spend monthly on bills, very interesting thread with lots of info about places in UK.

So you saw those spending £300 monthly, on clothing.......... 😁🤣

@schoolhike please do you know if nhs in Scotland give sponsorship for Administration role band 4 please?

Sincerely I don’t know right now, but I guess they should be able to because the salary here for band 4 (a littler bit above 27k) is above the sponsorship thread ok if 26.2k£ .

The reason for my speculation was as a result of the information I got directly from a friend that told me that he will be sponsored as a band 2 health care assistant here, because the salary is above threshold salary for healthcare sponsorship, a little bit above 23k£. He said he asked after his interview that will they be able to sponsor him and they confirm that to him that they will be able to.

But if you studied here in the Uk, I don’t think you should be too much worried about getting a jibe with less than 26.2k threshold for sponsorship in as much as you are sure that they can sponsor, it’s just to educate your HR once your are confirmed. It’s crystal clear in the Uk gov website about people that study in the Uk can be paid less than the salary threshold and still get sponsored.

A friend got sponsorship with a salary of slightly above 22k, because she’s completed her masters here

Only take some things you read online with a pinch of salt

Nice! Where can I find the thread. Looks like a good read!

Accomodation is relatively cheaper here than big Cities in England but Council Tax is similar, if not higher actually.

Most Nigerians would live in South Wales though: Newport, Cardiff and Swansea. North is less culturally diverse, you'd see lots of people speaking the local language - Welsh and the Economy is not as great - low salaries with fewer jobs.

If Ma remains as Ma then it counts. ... if Ma switches to dependent and vice versa the clock starts again if on the 5 years pathway

However if for any reason they are on a 10 years path then any legal stay would be counted such as time spent as Ma or dependent

Thank you for this clarification.
