Mx Verda<p>And now, I have to figure out how to make an eVISA account. </p><p>The UK Government sent me an email, as it is wont to do.</p><p>"If you did not receive this email directly from the Home Office, it may not be possible to create your account or view your eVisa yet.</p><p>Dear Sir/Madam,<br>We have previously contacted you to take action to create a UKVI account and access your eVisa.</p><p>To do this, go to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/get-access-evisa" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">gov.uk/get-access-evisa</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> to get access to your eVisa.</p><p>Your biometric residence permit (BRP) will expire on [redacted].

Mx Verda<p>"Life in the UK Test , Question 16 of 24: What percentage of the work force are women? <br> 50%, 40%, 60%, or 30%.<br> Incorrect<br> Women in Britain today make up about half of the workforce. On average, girls leave school with better qualifications than boys. More women than men study at university."</p><p>Guess what I answered and they said was correct.</p><p>Did you know?! <br>The UK Home Office (or maybe the DWP? Idfk) recorded my fingerprints before I could get my Biometric Residence Permit. <br>No notice that this would happen; my employer told me when they called to explain why they couldn't pay me or offer more shifts. <br>They didn't already have my fingerprints because I have never intentionally broken a law. <br>They stopped my employer from giving me any more shifts at uni until I paid £130 I didn't have for the privilege. Got my pay eventually.<br>There was no fucking choice if I wanted to remain here legally. <br>And then the BRP share codes became a requirement in years since. <br>My prospective employer kindly let me know mid-paperwork following successful interview.<br>The story continues...! 🏇 </p><p><a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ShootMeNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ShootMeNow</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/UK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UK</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/England" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>England</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Brits" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brits</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/British" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>British</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>English</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Naturalisation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Naturalisation</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Citizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Citizenship</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/UnitedKingdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UnitedKingdom</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Brexit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Brexit</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigrants</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/WeGetTheJobDone" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WeGetTheJobDone</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Migrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Migrant</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Emigrant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Emigrant</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/ExPat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ExPat</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Travel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Travel</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Passport" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Passport</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BRP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BRP</span></a> <a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/BiometricResidencePermit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BiometricResidencePermit</span></a></p>
