Are you going to be working in the UK, if so, you will be given a tax number and an NHS card which will entitle you to the NHS service. You can also be a private medical client with BUPA for UK residents and non UK citizens, you should be able to find details on their website. Let me know if you need more info and I can give you a contact. That would be great. I am not sure if I am going to be working or not. We just found out that my fiance's father has cancer and has to have an operation.. so we are sort of leaving quickly. I am worried about that, and my own health - if you could give me some more info that would be great. My email is [email protected] . Thank you so very much. Travel insurance, maybe? There have been talks of me getting a visa through his father's company, but with all of the stress of the situation that is going on, that has kind of been put on the back burner if you know what i mean. So i know that i will help around the house, hospital, etc.. but after that.. i am not sure. plus, jobs are hard to find these days in England from what I hear.. or am I wrong? I really want to study nursing, but I saw on some website that you have to have lived in the UK for 3 years before you can do that - however, the other day when I looked again, I couldn't find it, so i don't know if it is true or not. Another thing I want to do is work at a homeless shelter and help people. I was thinking that if I can't actually study nursing, maybe I could intern or work at a doctors office or something? I am not sure. It is all very crazy. just picking up and moving.. but at the same time I am excited about going somewhere where there is "family". and everything else about the uk. I want to do things that make me happy and break out of my shell a bit, because i feel like in Dubai I have just sort of been.. stagnant. Does that make sense? I want to take singing lessons,. and run, and like i said, work at a homeless shelter. Seeing the laborers here, as well as everyone else who is just trying to survive makes me want to do something... good. Give me a bucket!! lol

No, his curls are totally natural and no product will change them. Just let them be, but curly hair tends to be unruly so on a boy, it is best to keep it short.

I see. Could you try travel insurance until you get married? If I were in the USA uninsured, I'd be concerned. But European ER bills aren't usually that bad! I know from firsthand experience.

ok Once you are married, you are covered under the NHS so can you just get married sooner if you foresee an imminent health issue? Otherwise, just pay as you go if you are a healthy young woman. It's probably not worth all the insurance money.

Even if she is married, she lives in Dubai with her husband, and the Sponsor is aware of pregnancy? Can you please provide me with a link that states this, as I can not find anything on the MoL to that effect, and can't seem to get an answer on the phone either! Honestly, I don't know. I just know that my maid had to take a pregnancy test for her visa and she would have been denied had she tested positive. I think you would have a lot of explaining to do to the visa people and I'm just warning you because it costs a few hundred dirhams to do the medical tests.

Sometimes the thread subjects become so tedious and circular arguments that it is better that they are deleted. They serve no purpose other than to reinforce stereotypes.

Hi Puppy! It really depends which country you are from. If you are from the UAE, you could get your visa in a few days. If you are from, let's say, Niger, it could take a very long time to get approved if you ever do.

49M&Ms, I am not giving you my opinion. This is just information. A maid must take a pregnancy test to complete the visa procedure. If she tests positive, she will not be able to be sponsored.

AD i've been trying that for a couple of months now but to no avail, he told me this morning I was a rubbish mummy and told DH he was stupid and selfish so he's on a role and as for the nose i'm tempted to put mustard on his finger ;-) It could take months!! When I was a teacher here, I had a student who picked his nose all the time. I am not exaggerating. It took me months of repeating several times a day, and eventually he just stopped and became a much more social child after that.

Just keep on repeating: "Don't pick your nose. It's gross and people will think you are gross." Eventually he will get it, but it may take a while. As for the name calling, it's basically the same advice. "Don't be mean to others. You will not have any friends." If it continues, a time-out is warranted or use whatever punishment is the norm at your house.

I had an epidural with my first and no pain relief with the second, although I would have opted for it but there was no time. If I were to have a third, I would not have an epidural. The pain was horrible the second-time around but it was so nice to be up and about right afterwards. I must add, though, that I had a very quick labor so I was not in pain for more than 15 minutes.

I know for a fact that Chouiefat has very long waiting lists and that siblings and transfer students have priority over new admissions. Choueifat has a very broad schooling network (many schools in several countries) so you have to consider the number of transfers plus all the siblings. This is nothing to be taken personally. They just don't have the space! BTW, my friend was told the same thing as you.

The British-curriculum is known to be more academic than the American one, especially at the high school level. That is probably the main reason.

If it is to look after your kids, it seems more logical to use a part-time nanny service in the area in which you are going. If it is for housework, you can just get a part-time cleaning service to come in. In the countryside, it is easily $25 an hour for a cleaning lady.

So high fees = good rating over here? No, but many of the schools that are relatively inexpensive have very few resources, unqualified teachers, and huge class sizes and lack of supervision. Those factors make it difficult to get a rating of anything more than unacceptable.
