Estroller: Please were you able to submit your visa application with the expired passport details? If yes, have you recieved a decision. I am in that quagmire now, and need to renew my visa, but no passport as NHC said they are still yet to produce mine. |

More of a company policy as opposed to the gov guidelines. You are allowed to switch to any category at time (Except visas with restrictions eg student). Schoolhike: |

Schoolhike:You may not find where it says "you can switch visa category anytime". You can only leverage on the fact that it didn't say you can only switch at certain times as well. Employers wanting to switch three months to expiration does not mean they think doing otherwise is illegal. I mean why will I give you a visa that'll require you to work legally when you can work legally already. It's just to keep checking till you see the one that does not mind. 2 Likes |

Estroller: Update! Application for renewal was submitted with my expired passport (I added my appointment slip as evidence of renewal with a note about the delay in getting appointment dates). Decision was made in about 2 weeks and it was successful. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Hello house, Please I need a clarification. Whats the policy on maternity leave . My fiancé is a registered mental health nurse(NHS) on COS from Nigeria. She’s pregnant and would have to go on leave. She’s just 6 months into the job. Is she entitled to maternity leave 6 months to 1 year(paid) ? Nothing was mentioned about that in her contract letter. |

My people Any travel/tour agency for tourism arrangement in any of schenge countries? My family (hubby n 3 kids) wishes to travel to any (easy to obtain visa) of the schenege countries (France in mind) The tour arrangement will not be a bad idea as we don't know anyone in any of the countries Perhaps spend a weekend and return back to continue with the shifts We don't mind bus ride (na part of the tourism as long as kidnappers, bandits or ungun known men no dey for road ) Any recommendation/package will be highly appreciated Thanks my people 3 Likes |

The government's policy requires the person to be working for the company 41 weeks before the EDD to be entitled to statutory maternity pay (SMP). SMP is 90% of your average weekly earnings (before tax) for the first 6 weeks and then £172.48 or 90% of your average weekly earnings (whichever is lower) for the next 33 weeks. However, some generous employers pay more than this. Some employers pay full salary for 6-9 months. She should check the company's maternity policy. Teniremi: 3 Likes |

Teniremi:she should check her Trust’s intranet for the policy for maternity leave and pay. Everything will be there. Just read the fine lines . In the NHS, every employee is entitled to compulsory maternity leave for the first 2 weeks and can stay upto 52 weeks on maternity leave. The determinant of whether you will be paid or not depends on length of service with your employers . These and more are always written in the maternity policy 1 Like |

chidaroy: hello dear friend, they said prove that you are a potential leading talent in the last 5 years. its that clause i am trying to wrap my head around, when they say in the last 5 years, assuming i was applying for the global talent visa in 2024, do they mean i should prove i am a potential talent in 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020 or any/and more year between 2024 and 2020. |

Goodenoch: Yes my job occupation code is on the shortage occupation list and yet, no discount of any sort. I coughed out about £12k today just to beat the new IHS fee. I was wrongly informed that all nhs roles are exempt from IHS. The false assumption was my main motivation for applying to the nhs. I sincerely pity those that will pay the new rate. Imagine a family of 5! I feel like I am being milked. Youkay no wan take it easy on immigrants. And come to think of it, my former company wanted to pay for my IHS n visa fees (excluding my dependents) but I was enticed by the 5 years NHS CoS and wrong information I failed to verify until it was too late. All the same, I’m grateful to God. 1 Like |

adekzy: adekzy: Not just you, Adekzy. Your fellow vile humans have been castigating the South East for a long time. See some of them below: PureFace1: Besk: walefresh3: kestolove95: This sort of hypocrisy, blatant lies and denial of responsibility is what makes Nigeria to be where it is today. Never mind, I blame myself for even engaging with a Hamas-supporting, human being. He posts a diatribe (on a UK Living thread) about a region of Nigeria. Then he comes back to deny. What manner of shamelesness is that? This guy clearly violated rule number 2 of nairaland. Nairaland should have no place for such bigots. 6 Likes |
