ReesheesuKnack: Hehe.. well said Even here we were reminded how 'the quality of care' might drop by letting in Africans via the care route or better put those who do not have passion for care but rather want to emigrate. Like anyone wakes up and has a passion to wipe another and be insulted while at it. If the British system is so passionate about quality, then they ould make care giving a degree programme so natives with passion can take up student loans to learn it. Or better still, increase the hourly wage to £20ph to attract locals. What's annoying is that incoming care workers have been shoehorned into a state of low wage, reduced social mobility and solitude (as they cant effectively bring family). No wahala after a while they would become citizens. They also have mental health and can also have fibromyalgia. Good thing is nothing exposes you to everyday British life working in community health and care 4 Likes |

wallg123: People make it out like its some high postion immigrants should be eternally grateful for. Ive heard of care workers being racially abused by clients and the whole episode gets covered up in the name of dementia. Carers are only allowed in cos the nation needs them. Reason why I'm annoyed the government has finally seemed to craft a route of perpetual servitude that would bring in oversee workers on low wages with no family life. I'd much rather the government ended the care route, significantly raised care worker salaries while increasing taxes plus reducing the treshold for inheritance tax to pay for higher demand.. Afterall, British taxes should pay for British care. 1 Like |

ReesheesuKnack: The writer has misrepresented the facts - care workers are exempt from the increased salary threshold. Immigrants have been working in care for many years so why the recent uproar? The problems stem from the care visa route which basically made it open season for all types of abuse and exploitation. It is headlines like the below that have led to the stricter policies and backlash. The truth is that many immigrants, such as those who bought and sold cos (many times selling cos for jobs that didn't even exist), broke the terms of their visa, exploited their workers etc, are as much to blame. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/one-in-four-foreign-care-workers-abuse-uk-visa-rules-lpqzmsk6g Migrant carer 'drowning' in debt after £15k visa scam: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cornwall-68337205.amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12861957/amp/Care-worker-visa-scheme-abuse-linked-fraud-child-trafficking-immigration-advisers-say.html 2 Likes |

hustla: Oh dear! abeg gist me. I heard a resident once openly screamed at a care worker calling her a black monkey. Everything went under as dem say na dementia. If na some oyibo, it'd be 4 weeks off at least to sort out their mental health. People would later say we need people with passion for the job. Why dem no go do the work? 2 Likes |

jedisco: Omo, if I start to write, paper go full. Na why I dey vehemently against staying too long in that field unless you have 0 options (especially the core care ones) I think a lot of the service users like to look for people to feel they're better than so they try to talk down on you, racially abuse you etc. (lots especially in MH didn't even finish secondary sch or have extensive formal education) If you keep a ![]() ..

My Seniors in the house. So I moved from hybrid to a fully remote role in October and I am enjoying it. My question- is there any law that prohibits me from taking another employment in this youkay? I have been seeing some Interim roles that I feel I can combine with my work without any issue. Advice oh before grammarian will review my post |

@justwise please help If the wife come with visitors visa, she will use the opportunity to search for jobs and return home to apply if she gets the job Or Stay in Uk on visitors visa and extend it until the husband finishes school and start working Note: The main applicant will start paying the loan 6 months after graduation. The loan only applies to UK masters and not MRes or PHD. Thanks |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by justwise(m): 7:54am On Feb 23 |
obaalasepe: I suggest you take the first option, avoid the second option by all means, she can not renew her visiting visa in the UK and overstaying that visa will be a serious mistake. 3 Likes |

Hi people, Please where is the best place to buy an iPhone (new or refurbished ) here in the UK. Someone mentioned back market a couple of days ago, not too sure. Which is better to buy? A friend in Nigeria is asking to know whether it is better to buy here in UK and ship down or buy in Nigeria. Thank you. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by obaalasepe: 9:23am On Feb 23 |
Thank you so much @justwise Please permit me to ask you another question? A friend said you can extend your visitors visa on medical ground like complicated pregnancy? If the doctor are able to issue a "not fit to fly", is this true? My question is if you are on visitors visa in Uk with your children, and you apply for extention on medical grounds, will your children also qualify for the extention? Thanks once again. Please no vex, we need clarity on the UK immigration palava. justwise: |

obaalasepe: Yes that is true but expensive because you have to pay for the medical bill and you have to provide the payment receipt in your next visa application, yes your kids will be included if they are under aged as they will not be able to travel back to Nigeria alone. 1 Like |

AgentXxx: My only issue with CeX is their exploitative tendencies. CeX will buy an iPhone for £100 from a customer, and sell same for £250. I would still prefer Facebook marketplace (with eyes wide open and only pay after I have collected and tested the item, never ever ever bank transfer). Or eBay. 2 Likes |
