It was discussed that for quick return of BRP and provisional license,

1. Disregard or discard or shred the pre-addressed envelope sent with your form

2. Address your post to

not permited to earn interest as in religious affiliation or what?

oh wait.

is there visa types that do not permit one to earn interest?

make una lecture me as the novice wey i be

I'm not keen on interest rates as I'm not permitted to earn interest.

Moneybox ohhh
Haagreaves ohhh
All will give you interest.

If you are truly not permitted to earn interest, and you really wish to live by that, here is a siMple solution:
Go to Poundland, buy a piggybank (it costs £1).
Then be saving your money in there. Keep the piggybank safely under your bed.
No interest will accrue.

He's most likely referring to his religion with regard to the interest thing.
Nothing to do with visa types.

Alopecia is not a disability.

This is it right here. I don’t know how Alopecia became a disability. We get all too touchy about too many things when in fact it is a comedians job to elicit laughter. The fact is Will Smith was way out of line, and if he felt too strongly about the joke perhaps he shouldn’t have been laughing in the first male. So much for pseudo masculinity.

your interviewers are really cool... ours was about 90minutes, with lots of questions, a short presentation (PowerPoint ... shared screen), a pre-submitted essay amongst other things...

Yampotatocarrot:


My bad, I was waiting to finish them all before posting.

Two interviews so far, got results same day. Was successful for both, waiting for offer letter now.

Questions
School 1:
- Current time in your country?
- Why do you want to study PGDE?
- Why did you choose the University?
- Do you have any experience teaching? Share it.
- How do you ensure you carry all students in your class along?
- What are the goals of education?
- What is so important about PGDE that you'll want to go for it?

School 2:
- Pitch for your place (Why should we offer you a place in this course considering there are a lot of applicants).
- Any teaching experience? Share it.
- How would you ensure you carry students along in your class?
- What do you think are the most essential skills needed by a teacher? Explain.
- If a student comes up to you with a problem/challenge, how do you handle it?
- What course did you study in your undergraduate and where?
- How does your undergraduate course relate to the subject you're applying for?

In both cases, they ended up asking if I had any questions for them, and I asked just two questions.

Both interviews didn't last more than 30minutes. I ensured I was online three minutes to the start of each interview. I feel you'll actually know if you're making sense from the facial expression and body language of the interviewers. Interview was just like a discussion, nothing too serious. We were just gisting and laughing.

And Yes, network messed up a little, I just reconnected and continued the interview.

In both cases, the interviewers ended by telling me, "Congratulations, I'll recommend you to the school to offer you a place on the course".

Got a congratulations mail from the school between 5 - 30 minutes after the interview. Remains the formal offer letter from the postgraduate admissions office.

This just continues the narrative of the angry black person. ... he could have voice his displeasure in a non violent way.

The joke wasn't even that bad , although children and health issues should be off limit but technically it not yet off limitb

Aesthetically yes and the enhance e passport requires NIN, as it is also inputted on the data page. Also somthing about chip or e-chip, sorry not too sure. I have read the whole reason for the suspension of issuance and still can’t understand how this helps the situation or at least any of the grievances. They just do not want to work.

So that means whether enhcanced passport or not. No biometrics

I hope they lift it off soon. Already booked flights for end of April

There are other options like Lexus said but I can't vouch for them. My wife got a delivery of 10kg of foodstuff and it cost about N60k. Took about a week or so, not sure, I have to get the details. Service was okay: packaged, vacuum sealed, etc but again, I can't vouch for them o!

I am an international student here. Is the cost of this service covered by the IHS fees I paid when applying for my student visa?
