[@emmatagor]

That very sincere and very detailed info you've given there, in the video. It's all positive in a lot of ways cos I believe the whole system has been designed to allow Tier 2 skilled nurses to gradually 'warm up' to their new geographical environment and not be stressed with multiple jobs and/or other adventures that we are typically capable of exploiting than the average British. It's all gonna pass in 5 years when you'll eventually be 'set free' with right of indefinite stay, etc etc.

[@supriyashrestha3707]

hi there what's the chance of getting ILR after 5 years of working I heard most of the nurses aren't getting approved for ILR

[@DinaBarffo]

After working on Tier 2 visa for 5 years, you qualify for ILR. But during this 5 years period, you should not stay outside the UK for more than 180 days. So for example, if u wish to visit your family back home, or take a holiday anywhere outside the UK, u shouldn't stay there for more than 180 days. If u stay more than 180 days, you have gone against the rules so they might deny u ILR. Please ask the nurses who were denied and let's see the reasons why they were denied.

To the best of my knowledge, skilled workers are allowed to work 20 hours a week, aside their normal contracted hours. However, the 20 hours extra work u do should be a type of job that is in the same occupational code as your primary job. So as u work as a carer, ur extra hours should be a similar job.

Thank you so much for your reply...

[@nkolechanda1212]

So which visa Is okay for a nurse with good benefits for you, spouse and child??

[@DinaBarffo]

If u want to come to UK as a registered nurse, you can only come in Tier 2 Sponsorship visa and that doesn't allow u or your family to have access to public funds

[@nkolechanda1212]

Enlighten me on public funds. E.g?

[@DinaBarffo]

Like child benefits

[@nkolechanda1212]

So unless you go as what?

[@DinaBarffo]

As far as I know, if u want to come as a registered nurse from overseas, that's the only type of work visa

[@tinaagatha]

can i go to school with tier 2 visa

[@DinaBarffo]

Yes u can. You just have to make sure that your work schedule doesn't interfere with your schedule schedule

[@Peixx]

You sound like a presenter

[@DinaBarffo]

😀😀😀😀 thanks dear

I was recieving child benefit from uk ,though I am on tier 2 work visa . Hmrc gave a letter to me stating I am eligible . Now what can I do to prevent my ILR not to be rejected . Can I stop recieving it from now on and pay the money back what I recieved

[@DinaBarffo]

Some of my friends on Tier 2 are taking child benefits for their kids, some are not bvos we don't know ow if it will affect ILR application or not. But as far as I know, if u are on Tier 2, u are not entitled to public funds

[@ahmedi.a.mohamed3240]

a question, please: so I can work 40 hours/week + maximum 20 EXTRA hours?? or you mean I can work ONLY 20 hours during the whole week??

[@DinaBarffo]

You are allowed to work extra 20 hours per week on top of your normal contracted hours. So for example if ur your permanent contract says u have to work 40 hours pee week, u can do extra 20 hours on top of the 40 hours.

[@ahmedi.a.mohamed3240]

@@DinaBarffo Thank you very much for your quick reply and care; I truly appreciate that so much.

[@valentinedwomoh5536]

Can sm1 with a 48 hrs weekly contract in a domiciliary care add up extra shift since I think the 48hrs is the maximum & is it even advisable to add up extra shifts with the 48hrs? Also how many days will the person with the 48hrs weekly contract be working please since you are already abreast with the system. Thank you

[@rbee2062]

I have an offer Letter for a care home which says I'm not allowed to work elsewhere, if they find out, they will report me to the home office. In this case, can I still carry on to register with an agency for extra shifts?

[@DinaBarffo]

As far as I am aware, you're allowed 20 hours extra work aside your regular contracted hours so it is not right at all for them to say that they'll report you to the home office. You need to challenge them and ask them "on what grounds can they report you to the home office". You can print out a copy of the Tier 2 policy and show it to them if they challenge you. Don't let them bully you at all my dear. You have every right to register with an agency. Whatever you do on your off days should not be of concern to them. Don't let them bully you dear.

[@DinaBarffo]
