Raalsalghul: The most common pathways to permanent residency are family and work visas. There are faster routes but they have more stringent reqts and higher bars of entry. Student and PSW visas do not have a pathway to settlement on their own. |

Zahra29: Okay, do you have a link to the stats and data? Quick question: Does this data also take cognizance of the fact that students too do convert to family and work visas? Or is the data directly from folks who get the family and work visas without going through the student route: from outside the country maybe? 3 Likes 1 Share |

Zahra29: I remember using the word "process" and not "pathway". Maybe my semantics is rusty but did a quick check in ChatGPT: "A process typically refers to a series of actions or steps that lead to a particular outcome or result. On the other hand, a pathway often refers to a route or course that connects various points or components, either physically or metaphorically. In many contexts, a process involves the execution of specific tasks or operations, while a pathway may involve the progression or flow of something, such as information, molecules, or events. Essentially, a process is more focused on the actions themselves, while a pathway emphasizes the route or trajectory taken." Clearly different meanings.

Does anyone know if having points on your licence can affect your ILR application? Is it better to plead guilty from the beginning or go to court and contest if you might still be found guilty? This is for a minor traffic violation with no more than the potential for 3 points. |

ehizario2012: Hopefully, the second generation blacks all across Europe understand this. Those in the US are excluded as their case is different. Get the passport, experience, money and contribute to your homeland. It must not be Nigeria sef. One second-generation Brit who worked with Shell dey Rwanda cultivating crops for exports to the Middle East and Europe. If black dentists are declined in the UK, I dey wonder how it is for black medical professionals (assume they exist there) in Switzerland and Poland. But to be frank, if I were Polish, I would rather have someone who loos like me work on my teeth. There is that psychological comfort. It is a human trait. Shey it is the same new immigrant moms in the UK prefer to be attended to by black nurses rather than non-blacks. Humans are tribal. |

Dear all, I kinda need your advice on a pension-ish. I have 20k in my pension pot from my former job. Now, I have moved to a teacher's pension. How best can I utilise the money effectively or what can I invest it in? I don't want to just leave it dormant in that pot. It had stayed one year already @Lexusgs430. Thanks in advance |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Lexusgs430: 3:15pm On Feb 16 |
Walexwal: It doesn't remain dormant..... Your old pension provider would continually invest balance(you would only lose out on the ability to top up)..... You can't invest your £20K into anything, because you have no direct access to it)......😜 OR Move your pension to another pension provider(subject to provider's term's).......... 2 Likes 1 Share |

Raalsalghul: I'm not sure what you're getting at. The facts remain that the student/PSW visa is not an official pathway to settlement which is why it does not count towards ILR. The government became alarmed at the increasing number purporting to be students, but actually just using this as a way in with the primary aim of staying permanently. They termed this a back door route to settlement and responded with restrictive policies in order to curb the migration numbers. C'est fini. 2 Likes |

ehizario2012: OMG! What do you mean by MJ tried to be white? In what ways did MJ tried to be white? And in what ways was he not accepted? I'm sure you are part of the people that believe he did skin surgery to change his skin colour ? MJ had a serious medical condition that affected his skin, which made his skin start to change color. You should atleast do your research before condemning the poor soul. As for acceptance, MJ was at some point the most loved and biggest artist in the USA. Loved by both whites and blacks alike. How else do you define acceptance? 2 Likes 1 Share |

Great discussion today. I have 1 bone to pick though. I don't think we,the victims, benefit from censoring words like racism and tribalism. It only enables the bad people to hide and continue their bad work. I would probably not write it in bold but I will certainly write it in full. Anyone it pains to be called racist should change. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Lexusgs430: 8:28pm On Feb 16 |
missjekyll: What's the difference between racism and tribalism........ 🤣😛 The amount of tribalism we inflict upon ourselves in Nigeria, cannot be quantified or justified...... Small racism we are victims of in the UK, we want to blow the house down, but shoulder tribalism in Nigeria, with our full chest............ 🤣😂😜 8 Likes 1 Share |

Walexwal: You can open a SIPP - Self invested private pension and transfer all of the pension from the old employer to the new SIPP. You can pay privately into the new Sipp and the HMRC will top up about 20% or so. Please verify this figure. 2 Likes 1 Share |

ramafama: But he would have to self manage the SIPP account...... Is OP brave enough....... 😜🤣 Yes, HMRC gives a % based on contributions..... But your SIPP provider, would also charge you a fee....... 🤣 |

Goodenoch: hmm not really. Why it made the news was because the council clawed it back. Most councils stop paying in money when the money gets to a certain amount and wait for it drop then continue paying. They clawed it back without notifying him and the man went berserk. |

ehizario2012: I see your point but the phrasing is a bit off. Britain is quite multicultural and the that change is set to continue. Our place in the UK is not at the bottom. Many of us would in 5-10 years contribute more to this society than many have over decades/lifetimes. We can fight our corner. As an immigrant, you can rightly make the UK your home. Yes, the overall default is to point fingers at the immigrant when things go wrong but as more immigrants fight through the ranks, acceptance becomes inevitable. The rise of many Nigerians and Indians in Healthcare and other fields has watered down the otherwise racist views on these group. If you GP you always see is an Indian, it overtime has an effect on your subconscious moreso with second gen folks like Kemi and Rishi pushing through 6 Likes 1 Share |
