i think he is saying why all the negative dialogue over students who in reality make economic contribution and less negative dialogue about people who wish to force Sharia on us all

Congratulations Hustla distinction is no mean feat!

Bot - https://visabot.eu/uk

When applying, you'll fill out a form, called Videx. On that form, they'll ask which country you are entering first, which other countries you intend to visit, and the number of entries you want (single, twice, multiple). As I was applying for the first time, I selected Germany only, tourist, 3 days, single visit to increase my chances of getting it. However, just because you pick multiple does not mean you'll get it. How many entries you get is solely at the discretion of the embassy.

And if you are applying for a visa to travel to multiple countries in the Schengen area, it is advisable to apply at the embassy of the country you are entering first or you are spending the longest time.

When you get the visa, you can travel to as many Schengen countries as you want within the validity of that visa.


hello friend, i understand when applying for the shengen one has to show your itinerary, but i wanna know, let's say hotel for example, can i just book the hotel or the hotel has to be paid for, before the visa officer take one serious.

Infact words fail me....... If I was on stage, I might be shedding some tears now .......😂😂😂😂😂

If I start to mention all the posts of support, those that formed a quorum to drag me like tiger generator, would see another reason to drag me on that ..........😁😜

This thread is meant to encourage, support, connect and guide people...... But in a marketplace, all sorts of noise would be heard....... 😀

Nobody is an island of wisdom, which is the reason this thread continues to grow, people see value + receive adequate guidance + banter (FREE)........😁

USA thread is also available, but the level of engagement is not as high........ Ever wondered why.....😂

My draggers, this is not the first time, and would not be the last time, I get dragged........ (My tiger generator got enough fuel + a very thick skin to accommodate you all)......😀

Thank you all ..... 🔥👍

Biko, Seniors in the house. I have got a question. If one is working in care on sponsorship for 2yrs and got a job in another sector on the job shortage list. Will the person start afresh to count towards 5yrs or they will continue from the 2yrs?

I think u will start afresh because the codes are different. But wait for people like zarah29, justwise, Lexusgs430

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

Will the salary threshold be applicable when it is time for extension?

For example, I was given a 1 year CoS this year and I want to renew next year. Will I need to meet the 38700 threshold?

I'm asking because I just put in my application today.

No, you won't be held to the £38,700 threshold on extension if you apply before 4th April

It will continue on from the 2 years.

Has the application for the job on the SOL been made yet, as the current shortage list is being overhauled on the 4th of April and the 20% discount will be removed

Will be interesting to see in the next few months. I have searched and searched and this is the only country boxing immigrants into living a life on minimum wage. The effects in the next 7 - 10 years will be insane as most migrants will be stuck at the lower end of society and representation at the upper ends will be further limited (that is where I want to see fellow Nigerians)

The good thing though is that the £38K thing does not affect those who have just graduated but I see a sizable number of Nigerian students leaving the UK (a lot have left already or are planning to leave) as most of the policies are downright sinister and meant to restrict your upwards mobility.

That is exactly why I am always against the care thing or staying too long in it, as I see it as a carefully crafted way to push you into being lower class all your life, which will likely affect your kids too unless careful planning is put in place. Long hours away from family, low pay, and interactions with mostly low-class white people who are all out to drag you to their level, eventually it gets to you and your kids by extension.

I expect things to free up a bit within 1 yr and changes to be made, maybe a bit more stability smiley

Wise man.

I guess when you book the hotel, you make payment. They'll want to see your flight tickets (to and fro) and where you'll be staying. So, it is advisable you make refundable bookings just in case.

Cloud sec engineering roles now integrate DevSecOps into it. They want to save money by combining 3 roles into one with wayo smh

Typical UK way

Do you have any recommended Yt or Udemy Playlist for this?

Yeah I know. I don't want you to limit yourself that's why I didn't call it devsecops. It's a glorified appsec. However, the more technical part is the SRE/ observability and monitoring. There's one guy I know that paid for a course called practical devsecops. I just read books.

Prefer to read book and use AI to understand some concept.
