I am not sure this is correct. One can be given leave outside the rule but it is not as trivial as you stated. There is a guidance for that.

I strongly doubt if someone will just be given leave to remain because the person gave birth during her study. If the child is British, then that explains it, if not then there will be other compelling issues. It is also not correct that you just need to get a job and then you will be given leave to remain. What's the need for COS then?

It is a very simple case. If she is a dependant,all she needs to do is to engage a lawyer and apply for LR and she will continue to renew it. I have people that got LR just because she got job after school but has no dependant and she gave birth to a son during study. Those guys largely considers what they would lose if you leave too, so far you have a job and not a liability, then you can get any visa to extend your stay

pls let him/her explain oooo..

Maybe it is another Home Office.. get job and be given Leave to remain just like that?? grin grin grin grin grin grin grin

On a real, let's be careful sha.. some people don't just intentionally overstay/become illegal

It is all the "i heard someone did this or did that" stories they hear and believe it will work for them.. and then.. eventually it hits them in the face....

Also, people don't tell the full story.. they tell the parts that suits the narrative

Reminds me of the "stay lowkey and away from authorities for like 7-10years" discussion some days ago.. it is easy for people to type and say people should do it from the comfort of their homes..

The overstayers are the ones feeling the heat.. they can't legally work/rent/buy or do anything... because every data is tracked and evaluated..

Even those with visas and work are struggling to survive in this cost of living crisis..

Imagine what overstayers who earn way below the minimum wage will face (Thats for those who are lucky to find an employer to risk giving them a job)

Make we dey careful

Well said.... thankfully it's not me calling it out.

So much misinformation these days. People think "just get a lawyer" as if the lawyer is a magician. They also have to follow the rules set by the home office.

So many lawyers will be cashing out in the aftermath of these strict rules - advising their clients to put in applications (that they know are frivolous and bound to fail), selling false hope and getting nicely paid for it.

And even when people are minded to tell the full story, it doesn't mean that their way will work for someone else. Once it's a discretionary application (i.e. outside of the immigration rules) then there are no assurances. It depends on the case worker, it depends on the exceptional circumstances of the case and so on.

that's why i always ask people to watch UK Border Force shows..

You see it live.. with faces of the Nigerians (in our own context) shown...

You also see some of the raids done by Immigration live

Where they hide, sleep, conditions they live in, how employers are arrested and charged not just for employing illegals but for lying to the police, etc..

Then one can make a judgement for themselves if it is worth it or not

Whatever that make her and her children stay is fine, telling them to leave is cruel to me.


Zahra29:


Yes, that would be good. I think she might be granted at least the remainder of her current visa, it depends on the caseworker tbh.

Hi People,

Please I am in dire need of a driving instructor in Leeds. I have done driving lessons in Bradford, however, the earliest test date I could get is sometime in July. I have changed to a closer date (23rd of this month) and just need an instructor in Leeds for about 3-5 hours lesson so as to familiarise myself with the route. The test is for an automatic car and I already have 5 years experience back home.

Please recommend a good instructor as I don't want to move dates. I have contacted a few driving schools from my search online and they said they don't take in candidates with less than a month to the driving test.

Please please.
why not try wakefield instead. pass rate matters too and I don't think that of leeds is that good compared to bradford and wakey.

Hello everyone, I'm seeking guidance on how to address a concerning incident.

Thursday , my 3-year-old child left the school premises unaccompanied during closing time.

Another parent noticed him walking alone outside the school, sensed something was wrong, and safely returned him to the school.

Despite this, the school failed to inform me of the incident promptly, waiting until today for another parent to relay the situation.


This lack of communication is distressing and demonstrates negligence.

I believe it's crucial for teachers to uphold their duty of care. I'm left contemplating the potential dangers that could have arisen from this oversight. What is the appropriate course of action to address this matter effectively?

This is a very serious incident and coupled with the nursery's unsatisfactory response - I would recommend that you report them for investigation by your local council and/or Ofsted

Something similar happened in Scotland fairly recently and the nursery was reported to the care inspectorate:

I 100% agree with Zahra. This is very scary to read, I can imagine so many things that could have gone wrong. Definitely report them. You can also start by letting them know how upset (for lack of a better word) you are by their carelessness.

My son was playing in his nursery and hit his head on the door while running, dude did not cry or have any injury and just continued playing. The nursery called me to inform me and in my mind I'm like 'Wait, till you see him playing at home and hitting his whole body everywhere, you'll know this report is not report worthy'...but yea, they are supposed to tell you EVERYTHING that happens with your child.

The bolded seem to imply that you have not had a discussion with the nursery personnel, yet. Or have you?

My interpretation of your post may be wrong, but your post seem to suggest that your discussion (so far) was with ‘another parent’ but not yet with the nursery staff/manager.

If my interpretation (again, strictly based on your post) is true, I would suggest that you have a discussion with the Nursery FIRST.

I hope your son is fine & safe? Best wishes!

In truth, do core racists see black Africans and say Chinese, Indians, Pakistani, North Africans etc as the same? Seems they have a special place in their dirty hearts for black Africans especially. Black Africans.

White and black won’t get along. We can always continue to tolerate each other. They mess with us always because our leaders work for them one way or another.

Chinese people can be use as case study: China is arguable the most advance country in recent times. Hence that level of achievement is what people see when you see a Chinese citizen.

We will continue to be looked down upon until when Africa starts developing its region.

The change begins with you and I.

Three things you need to do -:

- Write a letter and e-mail to the school, voicing your concerns + demanding an explanation.......

- Send a copy to the council......

&

- Another copy to the board of governors.......

Sit down and await their response (add your telephone number to the message).......

I'll tell you a short story, when I sued a law firm about 4 years ago...... They all were convinced I was a lawyer, the way I serviced my court papers etc etc ...

I got to court, whilst awaiting my case to be called, I got approached by 2 barristers from the other side (asking if I was happy to concede, and we just tell the judge we have settled)....... You can imagine what I told them....... 😜😁😀

Case began, they spoke, I spoke, judge asked questions etc etc .......

Case kept swinging all directions,
after about 3 hour's........

Judge found the case in my favour.......... 😂😁

Yeah... so I thought. But with the new category based entry draws (which includes STEM), age has much less of an effect on the outcome. Moreso the cutoff for the category based draw is falling round by round (which could change soon as folks become more aware). For those near the cutoff, provinces would usually send then letters inviting them for a nomination which if acceptedand followed through essentially guarantees a PR. With UK experience in IT, one should be able to apply for tech jobs there which would give a work permit.
Considering the time and effort put you have put in and you being certain you'd want to continue in IT, the UK should work out but if it doesn't, it's worth not being boxed into a corner.

I'm above 30 and applied mid-last year- got a provisional nomination within a month (didn't accept it) and was picked up by the next federal draw a month afterwards. A bit of a wait and many docs requested and have now been invited to send my passport in to conclude the process. Overall, it was pretty straightforward.

Alternative could be to apply for a visit visa and get a feel directly- long wait but their visas are valid for the duration of the passport. I.e 10yrs for a 10yr passport validity.

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.


Thanks again Samguine for sharing this bot. Finally got an appointment after many weeks! For all those interested, there’s Netherlands Schengen slots from May onwards. I got the notifications last night. Good luck!
