If someone is expecting a baby and the Mum is coming for omugwo, can you state that as a valid reason? Will you need to attach MAT B1 etc if that reason is used? Thanks Viruses: |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Viruses: 8:57am On Apr 05 |
Preshyi: People in the past have said they stated the above with no issues. I believe them because it is not illegal. But I would rather say "coming to visit my family including her new born grandchild" or "coming to visit my family including her grandchild who she has not seen since he/she was born". I assume the visit is after birth even if it's one day after. If the visit is before birth, I won't mention the child because how can she visit someone yet unborn? I don't know what MAT B1 is. 3 Likes |

Jamesclooney: God bless Air Peace. Imagine if His Excellency Peter G. Obi was sworn in on May 29, 2023? By now it won't be only Air Peace ruling the skies, Innoson (Nigeria) motors would have been the government official car, modular refineries would have been licensed, National refineries would have been on the way... Most likely some of us here would have stayed back in Nigeria. But it is what it is... We'll eventually get there. 7 Likes |

MAT B1 is what you are issued at the hospital to show when the baby will arrive. I mentioned attaching it because she may likely arrive a week before the birth and they may need proof if omugwo is used as the reason. Thanks for your suggestion Viruses: |

ReesheesuKnack: I doubt there's a negative intent here rather just a HR naive on visa issues as you'd find many employers. Asides experienced HR staff in large NHS Trusts (who do lots of international employment), I have found many other HR staff (and public in general) largely ignorant on visa issues. The HR is likely following a tickbox. I have had to guide HR staff thru some of the visa rules in the past. IMO, a quick email stating he needs a BRP to generate a share code and can only be issued a BRP after arrival should suffice. 3 Likes |

I need your advise my people. I currently get UC and CB due to my visa status (exempt) but now I have moved to tier 2. I was initially afraid my visa would be denied when I applied to change to T2 as I declared on my application that I accessed benefits. But alas, it was successful. Now that I am on T2 I do not know if I can continue to get the UC and CB or I should tell them to stop it. I am four years to ILR. My UK mum told me not to cancel it that they can not deny me of ILR solely because I accessed benefits. She said I could inform them that I would be paying it back in bits during my ILR application. My people I am now at a cross-road on what to do. Will accessing UC affect my ILR application even when my child would have registered as a British by then? Thanks! |

Dlandisgreen: There are a number of changes to circumstance DWP expects claimants to report, one of which is a change in immigration status. If your new visa restricts you from public funds, then it is best to notify them officially. If they find out later on, most times,they initiate court proceedings to be able to reclaim the excess money back from claimants. I'm sure you won't want that considering your ILR in view. 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 3:15pm On Apr 06 |
Dlandisgreen: Crossroad between following the law and attempting to cheat the system? Does your current visa have written on it "No recourse to public funds"? If so then please take iyatrustee's very good advice. What you are considering/doing is benefits fraud which the government takes very seriously with its own citizens not to mention an immigrant who is required to demonstrate good conduct in order to be granted ILR/citizenship. Your "UK mum" likely emigrated in 1985 when rules were no where as strict. Does she have a letter from the home office assuring her that they will overlook the breach of your visa conditions when you come to apply for ILR? Because they put in the rules as a joke? Why on earth would you be claiming UC when you are in employment and on a Tier 2 visa for that matter?! And when such stories end up on Daily Mail, they'll get accused of racial propaganda, when the reality is you know you are not entitled to the funds. 9 Likes |

toughest007: Review your employment contract carefully for any pay back clauses. Someone I know recently had to turn down a job offer because her current employer (whom she had been with for less than 1 year) had stipulated pay back charges of approx £10k which the new company refused to pay. 4 Likes |
