Hello everyone. Please a TB certificate that shows abnormal chest xray but no signs of Tb detected, no referall letter issued or sputum test done. Is this acceptable? The interpretation of the result is that the spine is a bit curved but can’t be treated as it poses no threat and even if it were to be corrected, it should be done as a child but not now as an adult because bones have now calcified. Can anyone clarify for me if this certificate is okay. Pic attached.

My people in the house please pray for me to get good news soon.

good evening all... My wise ones I need your help. My child only has an American passport. I am in Nigerian but UK at the moment. He is applying to join me. Does he need a Nigerian passport? Can he apply with the US passport.

You apply only after 6 months of payslips and corresponding bank statements (FULL 6 MONTHS). They won’t accept Just 4 months of payslips.

It is the same even if your wife is your sponsor...rule states minimum 6 months

Please can you point out the section of the rule where that is mentioned.

My misunderstanding...thought he was referring to his wife/sponsor payslip.

Hi All,

I'm about to apply for a spouse visa in the UK in the coming weeks. I have been with my husband since last October, we met while I was studying my masters in London. In February my visa expired and I returned to Nigeria. Shortly after getting back we decided to marry, which we did on March 31st and I am now pregnant.

So we're just preparing to apply for my spouse visa.

Financially, my husband has just started a new job. He is on a government contract earning £275 per day so earns more than enough for the requirements and he has payslips from the last 7 years if need be, every year having earned over the required £18,600.

In terms of accommodation, he is renting a room in a house share currently. However, we plan to cohabit in his parents house which easily has enough room to accommodate us. Does anyone have any experience with this?

I'm just looking for a bit of advice regarding our visa situation.

Also, would anyone recommend disclosing my state of pregnancy or choosing to keep quiet about this?

Thank You

Lexusgs430:


Some things that bring out the curiosity part of me...... If he is earning £275.00 per day, why is he renting just one room?

Does your husband do his self assessment or is he on PAYE? Your husband must be in continuous employment for 6 months, prior to applying (but your answer might have a different segway)......

His parents accommodation you intend to use for the spousal visa application, how massive is this accommodation? How many occupants are presently residing in this accommodation?

You would have to declare your pregnancy on your application. Let's assume you refuse to declare your pregnancy, and your visa is granted after you give birth, are you intending to leave baby behind?

Kakushia2:



Hi Lexus,

As to your first point/ curiosity lol. He literally just got this job that pays 275. He has not even collected his first salary yet..Hence, why he stays in just one room currently.

As to the 2nd point, the pay is within IR35, it’s like a law on tax. that means government contractors don’t do their tax self assessments. All my tax is paid before I get it. And on the visa requirement websites it says if you’ve not been in 6 months constant employment prior to applying they resort to your last 12 months of payslips if I’m correct. So he’s using his previous job payslips.

He was a soldier from July 2011 - October 2017, in August 2017 was employed by FDM group as his army service was finishing. and This April, he became a joint director of a PLC.

As to your third point, his parents house is a 4 bedroom flat, 3 peope are staying in it and obviously 2 are sharing one room. Therefore 2 rooms are available for us. And of course, a tenancy agreement will be drawn as he will be paying rent in his parent’s house.

I agree with you on your last point but I’m hoping I am granted visa before I give birth. Lol.

Thank you Lexus

Lexusgs430:


If he is self assessing his taxation, it's a completely different kettle of fish. The requirements for PAYE & SELF ASSESSMENT, is as different as a pigeon vs eagle....

Regarding his parents accommodation, you would require a home inspection report (and also tell the inspectors a new child too would be residing with you).......

Regarding your last point, you must declare your pregnancy on the application. A previous applicant on this thread, was denied entry at London Heathrow because she did not declare her pregnancy.......

Kakushia2:


Thanks for your kind and wise advice Lexus..

I will get back to you on the first point. Pretty sure he’s not self assessing his tax.

Would I include this inspection report in my application?
Then some things I will kindly seek your advice o,
1. When is ideal to do my TB test? I intend to do s priority settlement-wife visa.
2. Do I have to update my passport to reflect his surname? Already applied tho, just need your advice.
3. I did my masters in a reputable London university, do I need this NARIC certificate?? The requirements on that is a bit tricky.. thought if one had a Nigerian certificate, then the NARIC certificate comes to play but it says one must prove either with such certificate.

Thank you.

Lexusgs430:


If he is on IR35, he is self assessing his taxation..... You do not need to change your name on your passport..... NARIC is not required, but ensure your London University certificates are glowing and you type your UK qualifications properly on the application form......

I think the TB certificate is valid for 6 months or so. Ensure you declare your pregnancy during the TB test......

The house inspection report must be submitted to Sheffield, with other application documentations.........

Kakushia2:


Thanks Lexus... your response are so quick and concise! Thank you.
Kinda new to this forum so still learning how to work my way around it but I believe I have attached a document on English test requirements. If you see the last bit, it says ‘you will need a certificate from UK NARIC confirming this when you apply’ you still think I shouldn’t bother applying for this?

Cheers

Lexusgs430:


If you have an Msc from a UK University, NARIC is NOT required......

Kakushia2:
Hi Lexus, sorry another question.

Can I just establish, are you saying we need a home inspection for cohabiting at my husbands parents home specifically because we’re having a baby?

Many Thanks!

I am saying because the property is already occupied by others, a quick search on voters register/banking database/insurance bureau etc etc, would highlight present occupants against the type of accommodation ....

If any hint of overcrowding is picked, your application would be rejected due to unsuitable accommodation. The property inspection report clears that grey area......

What do you mean by 'can I just establish'?

If the property inspection report states that the property can suitably accommodate one extra person, where do you place your baby? Don't forget you are/must declare your pregnancy on application........

Aphrodite007:


Hi dear. The guru is already answering your questions, so hope you don’t mind me asking you questions.

I would like to know more about the FDM group. I literally have their page open on my laptop, as my last resort to finding experienced jobs (employers seem to want 4 year’s experience and I have just about two years so it seems applying for a graduate position might be my escape).

Anyway, can I get more info about FDM? They say their training spans between 8-14weeks, was this true for your husband? I’m sceptical about it applying because the closest training centre to me is Birmingham which is almost two hours away (can’t be traveling to Bmgham every day), and I don’t want to live away from hubby for two months .. I just need to speak to someone that has had the experience before I commit... it’s beyond me why they aren’t in Manchester or Liverpool!

So if you know what he went through, please enlighten me. Thank you o

Apologies for detailing the tread but this knowledge will be useful for prospective employees who want professional work.

phardey:
Hi Sis,

I know its probably not my business but I have to say this.
Please do not try to register for that training.

After the training, they will begin to pay you stipends, make you long hours as a contractor for companies that if the company hire you.
If you try to leave they will give you a bill for the cost of training which can be upto £25,000. Its basically modern day slavery

Its better to register at agencies and keep applying for jobs.
no one really has experience. Watch videos on youtube to help enhance your knowledge of your are of speciality
