posted this on the student thread, but I just remembered that after admission and entry to UK, most people switch to this thread so am posting again here. If you are coming to Glasgow as a student with lesser work hours, instead of working at warehouses, target working at restaurants. In Glasgow most of the restaurants (don’t know of KFC n its siblings) share what is left of the day’s foods with colleagues/workers. This can help add to your feeding. Dont feel funny about it, it’s a cheat most student use (i mean people born and raised here). Most Small restaurant owners rather share what’s left with their workers than throw that food away. I repeat Most small restaurants do this. So here is the story, most restaurant make lots of sandwiches, cakes and pastries (even when customers are not in). They make them with the expectation that it’s gonna be a busy day. Whatever is left at the end of the day is given/shared to the workers to take home. This happens everyday and they don’t reduce the quantities they make the next day. It’s just standard practice. As a student this will help with feeding. Don’t stress about the sandwiches, it’s easy to eat salmon, ham and bacon, just add Ketchup and mayonnaise and you are good. This goes a long way trust me. It reduces you cost of feeding (if you are single) and helps you focus on rent. There are days when there are lots of things to share (especially raining/snowy days), those days you can store some in the Fridge. Remember frozen items don’t lose nutrients or grow spoilage, freezing purses the cycle. 10 Likes 1 Share |

UniqueDext: If I am not mistaken, rent is prepaid which means you pay ahead. Hence if you were late by a few days and she took off your door, I reckon you only owe her rent up until the day she took off your door not a full month's rent. From the day she took off the door, it was no longer suitable living space. I no be lawyer but this is the default position I would take if someone did this to me |

Please, I just would like to know. Incase these people implement suella and her minions' recommendations, will it come into effect immediately? Especially scrapping post study, will it affect those of us already studying? Also, what will be the best way to go if psw is scrapped. Does one have to secure sponsorship before study visa elapses. I'm also seeing that they recommended a cap on sponsorship visa. Limited to 45k annual pay and above |

ehizario2012: There was no setup cost as I was renewing expired contract. When my contract expired they increased the monthly payment I decided not to renew it at that time and got mobile broadband from another provider. That did not work out then I came back to Talktalk to renegotiate and this time around I was given a better deal |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by ehizario2012: 9:04am On Nov 25, 2023 |
justwise: Oh okay. How did the mobile broadband not work out? Please share. Also is it possible to renegotiate fixed broadband deals? Thanks |

ehizario2012: If you're on skilled worker visa, you don't have issues naw (well I can't say LOL) I just feel there will be lots of palava ahead with the way their policies are always blowing hot and cold |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by hustla(m): 9:51am On Nov 25, 2023 |
jhorjhor: No, it won't affect those in the UK already (as far as I know) . .. But i just have a feeling they'll look at the effects of the dependent stuff they implemented in January. If it doesn't cut down immigration to the desired levels they want, then PSW will have to go for some time ![]() 1 Like |

jhorjhor: They definitely will not scrap PSW in the immediate to short term - that is off the table. They are looking at other measures instead and as part of this they will raise the salary threshold eligibility for a skilled visa - though not as high as £45k (likely around £33 - £35k) but in any case they will exempt health and social care workers from this salary requirement. 1 Like 1 Share |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goodenoch: 2:36pm On Nov 25, 2023 |
Zahra29: Fully agree. It’s highly unlikely they’ll scrap PSW visa and even if they add restrictions it likely won’t apply to people already on the visa anyway. Also agree re SW salary. The 45k Suella is pushing is just political red meat for the ‘base’. The more popular line is for it to be brought in line with the average salary in the country which is around 33 as you’ve said. That one is likely to happen. |
