Im wondering, what if you're a nurse??? Im a registered nurse here and im wondering what kind of job i can do for a living there while studying. Maybe i can work in a nursing home, but i dont hav any idea how much that kind of job earns per hr. hmm..... Lbs200 per week seems a lot.I'll still ask around, hoping I'll get some positive response to be able to weigh things
Yes, it seems a lot when converted to PhP... But you have to think that you will be living in the UK not in the PI... So the living expenses is in ££££ not in PhP...

Im worrying also bout, of course, the expenses. I dont hav money to waste on unnecesary service like a consultancy group that is not guranteed to speed up or assure my application. And once i get there, what will I do? Study to feed myself? I wish i didnt find out bout this, i got really hopeful and now that im learning more bout this im getting more doubtful and wanting it more to apply in the middle east (this was my original plan for this year).

If finding descent job/s and earning is guranteed there and if i'll be able to get my money back then spending now will be alright and well worth it.

I am sorry if my posts were quite aggressive and seems to make you worry... But those are the reality...

I have a sister who is a registered nurse. We were so hopeful that one day she will come here and stay with us in England... We have used an Agency and spent £26k for submitting the 1st requirement: School Diplomas, CV etc... (please see my previous posts) and later found out that we can apply for her directly here at any Colleges (sending the requirements online or by posts FREE)... (just read my previous posts... long story)...

Great Britain is in recession, lots of people are being kick out from their jobs, plenty establishments have gone bankrupt, also: the immigration is getting tighter and stricter everyday: BRITISH JOBS FOR BRITISH PEOPLE... and a lot more...

Maybe, just attend their free orientation seminar... Ask lots of things, Listen to their sweet talk, To their promises (at the end... they will be the one who will be having your PhPPPPPPP for believing in them)... just be very cautious... it is indeed very risky...

Using or not using agencies = chances of visas to be denied...
One of the forum members here have used an agency. Paid PhPPPPP. Supplied all documents and still he was DENIED.
Agencies also, will ask you not to tell the ECO that you have used them...

But...
Some were granted (last year)... He is now here... They also said it depends on the ECO who has your papers...
Still depends on you my friend...
