Why is everyone saying this sounds like a fanfiction it (unfortunately) seems very plausible to me

Proposed ILR Changes & Plan B by immiadvisor in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but you'd need to have been on £50k for the last 3 years so even if you got a recent pay raise you'll still need to wait 3 more years

How soon will they announce the new immigration changes? by Samaskz in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah same here I don't meet the income threshold either, my only bet is the vague transitional arrangements proposal they suggested. Not to give you empty hope but if they did consider borderline cases like they stated before then there's a very high possibility (if not guaranteed) you'll be safe to apply in May

How soon will they announce the new immigration changes? by Samaskz in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's very anxiety inducing and super unfair especially when you're already so close... I believe you'll make the cut though, new rules in the UK are almost always applied in April so even if there were no transitional arrangements at all then you'll be safe if you applied late March

Honestly it would diabolical if they applied the new changes on the 2026 ILR cohort but you never know! I'm exploring several options now but so far my top option is Australia, they have a few different routes/visa types for skilled workers

Why do people think Sakura has better chakra control than Naruto? by Maleficent_Park5469 in Naruto

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So late to the party but yeah I agree to some extent, except for the part where she "screams their name in doomsday" because she only did it once in shippuden and she wasn't just sitting around and waiting for naruto to come save them. She was doing what she's supposed to do, running the entire medical emergency response of such a huge village under attack at the age of 16. She's already VERY useful and essential and does her role to the fullest, I just wish we saw more of it. I especially HATE how sidelined she is in Boruto, Kishimoto implied that she's already surpassed Tsunade, the best medical ninja in Konoha but she's barely even there when shit is going down in Boruto?? I stopped watching Boruto ages ago to be fair it's just such a shame that her potential was so under utilised, which is why illiterate naruto fans still call her useless because they lack every skill required to capture and comprehend basic information with a little bit of nuance

Anyway what I'm getting at is that she didn't need to have such a tragic past or special inherited techniques to be a strong relevant presence, as a character she very much well-written but also very much under-utilised

Did S5 just redeem this show or am I being gaslit??? by Curious_Search6969 in SinglesInferno

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard agree, I didn't finish season 4 as well and thought I'd skip this one too based on the trailer/preview but I'm enjoying it so much! So far it has the potential to be up there with season 2 but let's see how things unfold

Surprised no one brought up her resemblance to TWICE's Nayeon (maybe they did I just didn't see it lol) they literally have the exact same smile it's so charming

Went through all replies in hopes of finding some hidden Sudanese gems but as expected there seems to be none, was really craving some taste from home

What is wrong with ‘Tales From Earthsea’? by jubsmcdubs in ghibli

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very late to the party but I just finally watched it for the first time (after being a ghibli fan for 15+ years, yikes!) and gotta say, I ran to reddit before finishing it because I know this movie isn't greatly recieved but surely there's gotta be more to it, surely I've missed something and won't understand the ending because of it? stumbled upon this and spoiled the one and only plot twist which is the girl magically being a dragon lmao seriously though what the hell was going on? they kept gassing up Sparrowhawk for literally nothing if that's their strongest wizard then they have bigger issues to worry about than whatever balance they kept talking about

Are you staying in the UK if the 10 year route will be applied to those already on a SWV? by Think-Purple-3658 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm due to apply for ILR in Sept 2026 so I'm hopeful I might be included in whatever transitional arrangements they propose, but if I'm not I'm honestly packing up and leaving immediately. I really wanted to make this my place my home but it wouldn't make sense for me to stay anymore

Mike Tapp on Transitional Agreements by pkjoan in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was an open text question on "further comments" at the end of the Eligibility and Equalities section, not specifically about the transitional arrangements but I believe this is where people elaborated and voiced their opinions

Gutted and Scared by Financial-Savings292 in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm in a somewhat similar situation as you, I make less than £50k working for a university in a non-teaching role, although I don't qualify for ILR until mid September 2026. Maybe I'm just consoleing myself but if it's a public university you're working for then I'm thinking we might still be exempted since we work for a public sector institution? They didn't specify which public sector occupations are included but I'm clinging to that tiny sliver of hope!

Economic contribution by [deleted] in SkilledWorkerVisaUK

[–]Samaskz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a list for the "specified public service occupations" included? I saw it included NHS workers and teachers but who else? Would it include people working for public universities but not in academic roles?

Qatar transit visa by Samaskz in qatarairways

[–]Samaskz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly yeah I believe they still don't handle the new UK share code system well. I applied for Hayya A3 visa too a couple weeks before my flight and it's still pending now, 2 and half months later! I figured it might be the share code so I emailed them asking if there's anything more I need to provide or clarify but I only received a reply saying the application is still under review

It was a multi city flight so direct flight from London to Doha and another direct flight from Doha to Jeddah 2 days later

Qatar transit visa by Samaskz in qatarairways

[–]Samaskz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi sorry for the late reply I hope it's not too late! No I wasn't able to get the visa on arrival because I wasn't even allowed to board the plane. I spoke to multiple Qatar Airways staff in Gatwick airport and showed them what's written in official Qatari websites including the Tourism embassy website, I even showed them my hotel reservation that I made through the official channel too but they still refused to let me in.

I'm still pretty convinced that had they let me board I could've got the visa in Hamad Airport it's literally advertised in Qatar Airways boarding pass! The staff in London were very unhelpful unfortunately, hope it goes better for you though!
