cbn4main: If this is a sponsored role, he will need to have a skilled worker application submitted before the 4th of April, or the role will need to meet the new £38,700 income requirement 1 Like |

Zahra29: Thank you for the clarification. |

Zahra29:It is not a sponsored role. The person is a dependant already on a HCW visa. |

Good evening elders, please if someone has already applied for PSW but a decision hasn't been made and they get a COS for healthcare, can they cancel the PSW visa and apply for the healthcare? Will the person be refunded please? Thank you. |

It might be a week or months. You can only be in reserve list for a maximum of 6 months. I was also place in a reserve list for an EO role in November but later secured an higher grades with another government agencies and I went with them. They later contacted those on reserve list in January. I wasn’t later contacted because I withdrew my application immediately I secured that better role. cbn4main: |

This was discussed few pages back .. . I don't know your status but Do not cancel if your visa has already expired or has limited days (2/3 days perhaps) left but vary your application. Else you will be categorised as overstay and have to explain why you submitted an out of time application. Oyi12: |

hayesconcept:Ok. Thanks for the reply. The guy said he was placed on the reserve list for 12 months. He has to be patient then. I advised him to be searching for other roles too. |

cbn4main: There is no guarantee that one must be given an appointment while on the reserve list. It will happen only if a vacancy comes up in the department. I am currently on a reserve list since August last year and nothing yet till now, so you see its not a guarantee. |

Zahra29: @Zahra29 & all, what's the real significance of this £38,700? Is there a possibility of companies paying less than the £38,700 stated on CoS? I just a robust understanding of this new policy, a lot of "professors" on Whatsapp groups offering various explanations. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by humblemoi: 8:12am On Feb 09 |

directonpc:Is there such a thing as “Temporal Nigerian Driver’s Licence”? I’m hearing that for the 1st time. The only things I knew had ‘temporal’ were voters card & NIN slip (in those days). But temporal Nigerian Driving Licence? That’s definitely a first (for me) |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by directonpc(m): 8:56am On Feb 09 |
ReesheesuKnack:You obviously left Naija a long time ago, or didn't come in contact with someone that got a license recently. FRSC issue a temporal driver's license that you can laminate if you so wish while you wait for the permanent one to be delivered. |

ehizario2012: It means that post the policy implementation date, the average role will need to offer a salary of at least £38,700 to be eligible for sponsorship. There are exceptions: - roles on the health and care visa route (carers, NHS medical roles etc) -occupations on the national pay scale e.g. teachers -occupations on the shortage list (however a new, slimmed down shortage list is due to be released in April) - graduate roles do not have to meet this salary requirement. The new salary requirement only applies to new applicants. Those already on a skilled worker visa can continue with their existing salary, however they would need to earn at least £29,000 to be able to bring dependants on their visa based on the new family visa rules.(from April 11). This amount will then rise to £38,700 from early 2025. Hope this makes sense. 5 Likes 1 Share |

directonpc: No. Get an international driver's licence and I also heard that's sometimes they ask for the normal drivers licence instead of international driver's licence. Maybe you can find someone to bring it down for you when it comes out. |

Cassan:It was chilled, we went to Durres, Tirana, and Sarande to cross to Corfu (we were meant to visit Ksamil too, but time and we had to proceed to Montenegro because it was a long drive), the currency wasn't an issue as most of the accept Euro, but you can use your card to withdraw too. you will have to get a sim card at the airport because they don't belong to the EU, so your sim won't work. er, it was generally safe and cheap, also you might have to rent a car because that's your best bet as public transport is not as efficient as it is in the UK, you can get it for 20 euros a day or less depending on your bargain. er, I will add more when I remember. 10 Likes 4 Shares |

Hello house Please how long does it take on average to switch employer on a skilled worker visa. It says 8weeks on the UK government website. Does it really take that long? 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Ogbaba123: 3:54pm On Feb 09 |
Please how early can one extend their skilled worker visa. I have about a year left on my visa but looking for extend to complete 5 years. Will the new visa start date continue from my previous expiry date. There’s no guidance regarding this on gov uk website. Please I’ll appreciate any input |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Ogbaba123: 3:57pm On Feb 09 |
Zahra29: Well detailed. For example, someone earning less than the 38k threshold and on a 3 year skilled worker visa, will they be granted the 2 years extension at the expiry of their 3 year-visa even though they earn less than 38k? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by joe10: 5:33pm On Feb 09 |
Please, is there anything I can do to remedy this situation? I' ve got a job with NHS and received my pay in January 2024. I sent my P45 to NHS after i received my first pay and it was taxed meanwhile, I did not pay taxes in my first employment except NI as I was told that I would not be taxed till my cumulative income reached a threshold. I have explained to my new employer and I was advised to contact HMRC. Please, how do I go about this or is it normal to start paying taxes due to change of employment eventhough i have not reached the required threshold? |

joe10:Not 100%, but I don't think this is something to even bother about. Just keep an estimate of the tax somewhere. When HMRC recalculates, they'll take back their money if you owe them. 1 Like |
