Thinking about immigrating to UK...

Immigraz · Post by **Immigraz** » Wed Mar 07, 2012 2:14 pm

Hello. I'm thinking about immigrating to UK in a couple months. However I've no idea what would happen after I get a ticket, fly over there and exit the plane. Let me give you some information about myself, so perhaps I could get some realistic information.

I'm over 18.
I'll only have high-school diploma.
I enjoy IT (therefore I'd like my job to be IT-related, not a poorly-treated factory worker).
I don't know anyone in UK.
I'd barely have enough money for the flight ticket, so I couldn't immigrate and enjoy the scenery for half a year.
I'm not social nor good-looking.
I couldn't share a room with anyone, I need my completely private space.

So what are my possibilities? If you've any questions, feel free to ask.

Assuming this is serious request for advice

...what nationality do you have?

No offense, but after "assume this is a serious request", I prefer not to share that information. I'm from Eastern Europe though, mostly people speak Russian around here, so I'm in the minority who can speak proper English.

sorry but given your post, did you really think that people would think that you were being serious. How is whether you are 'social or good looking' at all relevent to immigrating to the UK?

You can't just jump on a plane and turn up - you need a visa first unless you are a non visa national. As you are not willing to share your nationality, no one can offer you advice. Start here to see if there are any categories for which you qualify.

It's relevant when getting a job. A smooth-talker could talk his way trough many situations. If I weren't Caucasian, I'd mention that as well, at least around here the situation's pretty bad for anyone but Caucasians.

Nothing except maybe Youth mobility scheme, however my country isn't eligible for that.

but it's not relevent to whether or not you can get a visa. If you want to be taken seriously, then ask serious questions and give relevent information.

Stay wherever you are.

With your high school diploma you will be lucky to get a job in a factory, In UK most of the people work in shops and retail have a degree FYI

To succeed in UK and get a "Good" job I strongly advice you to get yourself a decent degree, Some work experience and also do acquire some skills, Then try and see if you can enter UK via a work permit route.

But like Greenie said you need a visa to start with.

I know people who are in their late twenties to early thirties, have a Master's degree in IT and have a few years of coding/programming experience in their home country (with decent IT firms) and are struggling to get an job in the UK or are quite frustrated with the work/conditions in the UK. So if you are an extremely clever operator and smooth talker, you shouldn't get on that plane that quickly.

Also here is just one example for your consideration.

I see. Well thank you for the information. I guess I'll hold off of immigration to UK then. It doesn't seem to be the right place for me then.
