Jumtel noted in a TikTok post that she wanted to travel to the UK as a skilled worker, so she got an agent to help her process the travel documents and job.
She said she was introduced to a company where she was supposedly being trained in preparation for work in the UK.
Processing UK skilled worker visa
Jumtel noted that she was thinking she would be out of Nigeria within three months but for a whole year, nothing happened.
She said the woman who was training them was supposed to help them get jobs in the UK so they could obtain a skilled worker visa.
After a year, it became clear to Jumtel that the woman was not going to get any job despite all the preparations for the interview.
She lost £8,500 to a visa agent
That was how she and 15 other applicants lost £8,500 without getting any job or UK visa.
The woman who was processing the job for them blocked everyone and she returned to square one.
Unfortunately for Jumtel, she had resigned her job that was paying her N80,000, hoping she would soon get visa and move to the UK.
Jumtel later successfully moved to the UK after following the right channel and getting a job and UK visa.

“The same thing happened to me and my husband last year. I hope it is the same woman, sha.”
@ak4real15 commented:
“Nice story and God manifestations. But travelling out of the country is not a miracle to me. It is the lawlessness and selfishness of our leaders.”
