LIVE AND WORK IN UK

Work Permit of UK (England)

Well you can't just hope a plane to any country and start looking for a paid job. To work would be illegal without a permit, which you cannot acquire without a job offer and very few employers will offer you a job if you don't already have a work permit.

UK work permits are employment specific, and employer driven. In other words, a work permit will only enable you to be employed in a specific capacity, by a particular employer. Only a UK employer can make an application for a work permit.

If you would like more advice and information relating to a potential work permit application, you can visit the offical government website for the UK Work Permits, so that you can get information most relevant to your circumstances.

You can also get the Work Permit Free Assessment. from this site UK Work Permits


Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP)


The HSMP programme is designed to allow highly skilled people to migrate to the United Kingdom to look for work or self-employment opportunities. The scheme now has a new assessment for applicants aged under 28 as well as an assessment for those 28 and over.

The Highly Skilled Migrant Programme is different from the work permit scheme because you do not need a specific job offer in the UK to apply.

It is different from business routes such as the Innovators scheme or other business categories because you do not need a detailed business plan; you do not need to create jobs; and you do not need to invest in the UK.

WHY SHOULD I APPEAL AGAINST AN ECO's DECISION

"UK visas and the BDHC provides information to visa applicant about the types of documents they will be required to produce so that they can demonstrate to the visa officer that they meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules."This is the statement they make in the refusal letters.You now say to yourself,what could be the cause of my denial since i met the requirements?
Should i Re-apply or Appeal?

Professionally,it's not all refusal you should appeal,there are some that all you need do is to make amend and look out for the points the ECO gave and see if you could amend.But the truth is that do they really verify as claimed.If you re-apply,what is the assurance that they'll grant the visa,i think one need to put some nasty words into their brain so that they'll believe you know your right.

The general believe is that appeal takes time,so it's better to re-apply.I wonder when nigerians would stop fooling themselves and wake from their dreams.Let me give you some of the unreasonable reasons they give atimes
1: telling a child there's no link between the child and the sponsor which is the father after submitting birth certificate.
2: imagine an ECO telling you you forged your own bank statement,that it was compared to a known genuine sample by the british forgery team.
3: an ECO telling a magistrate that she forged her Olevel result[so absurd]
4: an ECO telling you how to spend your own money that you worked for.i find it unrealistic for you wanting to spend a 2months salary on 2weeks trip,isn't that intrusion.
5: imagine an ECO telling you that you did not plan for the trip.Maybe you ought to have written the ECO 2months before applying.

Inconclusion,it shows they are not competent with their work.I believe an appeal gives you the right to express yourself.

UK STUDENT VISA

VISA APPLICATION FORM

~ Make sure to fill out your form carefully and precisely. Do not forget to sign it. The visa officer will, in many cases, make a decision based solely on your application form and supporting documents.
Officers repeatedly stress that an incomplete or incorrect application may result in an unfavourable outcome.
~ Remember to include your contact details on the form, especially an e-mail address if you have one (if you don't, we suggest you create one to facilitate e-mail communication).
Supporting documents
~ Start putting your supporting documents together in advance. Do not submit your application until you have collected all the documents required.
~ Make sure your documents are originals or attested copies.~ There is no fixed checklist for the documents needed, as each student's circumstances are different. The common factor is that students need to show as much credible evidence as they can of their individual circumstances. Your supporting documents must relate to your education, your family's financial situation, any assets you own and your sponsor

DO YOU NEED WORK PERMIT VISA TO UK

WORK VISAS TO THE UK

WORK PERMIT VISA TO THE UK
The United Kingdom welcomes workers in a variety of professional fields. The Work Permit allows UK companies to fill labour shortages.
The Work Permit is the most popular form of permission obtained by overseas nationals who wish to work in the UK. The application is split into two main tiers. Tier 1 caters to intra-company transfers, inward investment and senior board members. Tier 2 enables skilled non-EEA nationals to come and work in the UK. Tier 1 also provides for individuals urgently required in the UK due to labour shortages in particular professions.

TOURIST VISA

VISITOR VISA TO THE UK

TOURIST VISITOR VISA TO THE UK
You do not need to have friends or family in the UK in order to visit the country. A Visitor Visa allows applicants to travel to the UK purely to visit the country for up to six months. The UK is extremely diverse in its landscape and people and has a wealth of culture, history and scenic beauty that can be discovered and explored.
All applicants in this category must prove to the UK Immigration Authorities that they can financially maintain and accommodate themselves in the UK without recourse to public funding or working. You can show however that you have assistance from family member(s) living in the UK. A healthy bank balance is favourable when applying for your Visa.

A SUCCESSFUL APPEAL

Successful UK Visa Appeal For Danny by: Charles Kelly
When a Surrey Nursing Home owner was granted a Work Permit for an in country Senior Care worker in September 2004 little did he know that it would take nearly two years before the Carer could start work. The Home owner successfully arranged a two year work permit for a male Senior Carer. The candidate, Danny, who was in the UK on a visitors visa at the time, was denied ‘Leave to Remain’ following the tightening of the rules on switching in October 2004.Our representative in uk took up his case and asked the Home Office to review their decision on two occasions over a four month period. In both cases the Home Office refused to change their original decision. Danny had no option but to return home to his country in July 2005. Our reps were not giving up on Danny’s case. They successfully obtained a new ‘out of Country’ work permit and helped in applying for entry clearance at his local British Consulate. He was subjected to a gruelling interview by an Entry Clearance Office (ECO) who naturally picked up on the point that he had over-stayed his original visitor’s visa by some months and went on to accuse him of working whilst in the UK. Although he tried to explain that he had only stayed whilst the Home Office were reviewing his case and holding his passport, the ECO refused to listen. Danny also pointed out that he was supported by several relatives during his time in the UK, but the ECO just fired more questions at Danny until they had him tied up in knots. By the end of the interview Danny felt like he’d been 'on trial for murder'. The ECO refused to believe any of his story and denied his application for entry clearance (visa). Danny was devastated by this latest setback and immediately contacted Mr Julius Ikpekhai, Managing Director of Insight Consult Limited. After reviewing the refusal decision Mr Julius felt it was worth referring to an appeal specialist. He contacted a level 3 adviser with years of experience in handling entry clearance appeals, who agreed with him that the case was worth fighting.They fights on With the support of his employer and family Danny decided to go ahead with the appeal. Mr Julius put the case together and instructed the appeal specialist to lodge the appeal. Dealing with an appeal is a long and complicated process and not just a matter of filling in a form attached to the refusal decision. Many people make the mistake of thinking that all you have to do is ask for an appeal and then sit back and wait for a decision. Nothing could be further from the truth. Appeals are now heard in the UK, so the whole case gets sent back to the Asylum and Immigration Tribunal (AIT). The AIT will then request the ‘appeal bundle’, which includes skeleton argument, statements and evidence related to the case. All of this can take three or four months and involves a considerable amount of work. Charles and his advisers spent many a late night preparing Danny’s case and going over all the statements and arguments. After this a hearing is set, which in this instance was at Taylor House in London, for the case to be heard by a judge at the AIT. By the time we got to the AIT, it was now almost two months after Danny's visa refusal. Our day in court On the day of the hearing, 6th April 2006, Charles and his advisers met Danny’s relatives and employer at Taylor House and searched for Danny’s name among the hundreds of cases being heard that day. The AIT handles thousands of cases each year at ten centres around the UK, including two in London. The case was set to be heard at 10am, however, the Home Office representative requested more time to prepare her case and we were told to come back around 11.00 and were eventually called at 11.30. Although not a formal court room setting with wigs and gowns, the experience of walking into a tribunal is still daunting and intimidating. The decisions made within the walls of Taylor House have a lasting effect on the appellant’s lives. We saw many families turn up on behalf of relatives with no legal representation. As they fumbled around from desk to desk they looked like ‘lambs going to the slaughter’. They were most likely about to be eaten alive in the jungle of laws and legal precedents. 45 Minutes to make or break your life The judge dealing with Danny’s case seemed businesslike but pleasant and sat behind a large desk with opposing legal representatives sitting on either side. The room was just large enough for the desks and six chairs for witnesses. He interviewed all the witnesses and took notes during the 45 minute hearing. Not a very long time to decide Danny’s fate. The judge then thanked everybody and said he would inform all parties of his decision within four weeks. The hearing was over but the agonising wait for Danny was just starting. Good News, A few weeks later, on 26th April, a letter arrived informing us that Danny’s appeal had been successful. We waited for the five days in which the Home Office could still lodge and appeal, and sent a copy of the decision to the British Consulate asking them to issue Danny’s visa. If Danny was expecting a call from the Embassy staff to say “congratulations on your appeal Danny, come on down and get your visa”, he was about to be disappointed again. In fact it took several faxes, emails and phone calls before the Embassy would even acknowledge the appeal decision. We were still chasing the Embassy on 16th May, as they said they had not received a copy of the AIT’s decision. The Embassy still gave Danny a hard time and only issued the visa after insisting he obtained a new work permit, which caused further delays. Danny eventually arrived in the UK on 15th June 2006, over two weeks after receiving the AIT’s decision and almost two years after he first got the job. Danny was lucky that he had the support of his employer and that the vacancy still existed. Most employers would have given up on him. The majority of the hundreds of thousands of people denied visas each year will inevitably give up or lose the job because the employer cannot afford to wait. The figures show that over 25% of refusals are successfully overturned on appeal, so take advice before throwing in the towel. Professional advice is essential

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT UK VISA

I hear people grumble that the rate at which nigerians are denied uk visa is alarming.Well i want to agree with the public.But there is a question we seem not to be asking ourselves which is"why are they denying us"?This is a question we should try answering.I really want to congratulate you because i believe in the next five minutes,with the inspiration from God and with the experiences,i'll give you the answer to that question.

When i see people trying to feel an application form on the main road,i ask myself if they don't have a home they could take their time and do it.The urge to leave the country is what actually make most people to be denied because they seem to be moving faster than their shadow.The application form you fillied is an image of oneself before the ECO since it has not been neccessary to interview you in order to reach a decision.Therefore it is the form that would speak for you and it is the way you filled the form that would make the ECO want to go further for verifications if need be.But in a situation whereby the ECO does not understand how your form was being fillied,like mistakes in the filling and giving different answers to a particular question without a good reason,i tell you the ECO wouldn't waste time on your application because he/she has got alot of application to treat.

Secondly,knowing the requirements of the kind of visa you want is very important. As a student,you know you must have unconditional admission letter from the school you're going to and prooves that you have a capable sponsor.there are other things required of you.And for someone going for visit,you need a proof that you're coming back to Nigeria after the weeks you mentioned.You need to include your financial circumstances in Nigeria to show you have something here you can't let go or a family you can't leave for anywhere.

I believe you've learnt one or two things here,but i tell you,i've got alot in stock for you.If you have any problem with your visa,maybe you want to appeal or applying,you can give me a call.I believe God is the solution to all problems and he'll sure solve yours through me.Wishing you the best of luck.You can reach me on 234-7030138190 or 234-8087630760.
I'll be looking forward to hearing form u.
