Will £600 be ok for a month since the nanny is going to live with me?

You’ll need to pay her the National minimum wage (currently between £4.20 and £7.83 per hour, depending on her age). Minimum wage will be increasing in 2019 as part of the new tax year - https://www.gov.uk/national-minimum-wage-rates

You can offset her accommodation - but to a maximum of £7 per day.

So if, for example, you hired a 20 year old nanny who is contracted to work 7am to 7pm, her daily pay will be £70.80 (for this year, remember minimum wage increases next April). Then, when you deduct the £7 for her accommodation, by law you’ll have to pay her £63.80 per day.

Depending on her age you’ll also need to pay into a pension plan. Be aware that you are also liable to pay the tax and National Insurance – plus the employer's NI – for the hours you employ your nanny, regardless of her age.

So £600 a month unfortunately doesn’t come close to what you’ll need to pay her per month. I’d suggest you look at local childminder services or an au pair instead.

SCAM. UKVI will not make such a request for a visitor visa. Many been refused for not submitting sufficient documents. Why will yours be an exception? If UKVI want to make any clarification from a visitor visa applicant, you will call for an interview.

He’s a time waster. He’s asked the exact same question with the exact same words in the UK, German, French and USA threads.

ekpotek:


London Heathrow. From there take the underground train to Victoria Station. Change train for Oxford at Victoria Station.

Nope, not Victoria. Oxford trains leave from either Paddington or Marylebone.

@obaxlove take the Heathrow Express to Paddington then join an Oxford train. Here are costings:

That's the problem. When you trust someone's judgement, he starts playing god and overtaken by his own heroism.

Seriously dude, quit being such a douche! You’ve made your point, so it’s now time for you to move on.

Brightingsus:


@Davr,

You can apply anytime you have the cash for the application. But you must address some things. You have to explain to the ECO the details of the burial which you talked about, not only in words but in evidence. I suppose the funeral was in the UK. You would have to provide details like the death certificate and list out your role during the funeral. Do not focus on providing a generic overview of the activities at the funeral. You must list your day to day activities as an individual and why your presence was needed in the UK all that time. People sometimes overstay when it's practically inevitable, e.g. on medical grounds when it's not medically advisable to travel. All you need is provide compelling reason and evidence. You have to provide details of how you were fed and taken care of all through the overstaying period.

That's definitely the right approach, but even with all of this it's highly unlikely she'll be issued a visa. Visits can be extended for compassionate purposes, but this needed to be applied for while she was in still in the UK. As this wasn't done, UKVI are going to treat her as an overstayer.

Advisory:

Like I said I knew when it was debated in the House of Commons as I did not follow through I do apologise for the miss information but careful with your language mate "spouting missleading information " that's beneath you even. Please keep this thread sane and with respect everyone deserves. Don't know about the rest but from visiting to Tier 4 to Tier 1 and tier2 visas done it all.

I'll use whatever language I want to. You were going around matter of factly giving misinformation, including using phrases like "know for a fact" (when it turned out you didn't). Then you still argued the case when you were told otherwise.

Advisory:

Like I said a lot of people will disagree but I know for a fact that the UK does not monitor exit and this was brought up in the House of Parliament for debate sometimes ago. If home office monitors through airline then they should knock at your registered address when you have overstayed which they don't. As you know the uk takes data protection seriously and the airlines are not obligated to pass information to home office and that's the reason you have immigration desk at arrivals. They know you have overstayed when they stop you at random, they check with your employer , they carry out an immigration raid or you commit a crime.

Mate, stop spouting misleading information! People rely on information here and when you matter of factly spread misinformation their applications get rejected and they end up out of pocket!

Exit checks are very much in place! The information comes from the airlines systems and you're flagged as having exited the moment your boarding pass is scanned as you board the plane.

Instead of telling us what you "know for a fact" (because you don't), why don't you do a bit of research? Like this document from the Home Office:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/exit-checks-on-passengers-leaving-the-uk/exit-checks-fact-sheet

ekpotek:


Sorry I dont think you need any advise here with this your I am right attitude. Take care.

Elegantly put. Well done!

justwise:


How did that come about?

Huh? It was my acknowledgment that mine was an interpretation and I'm not going gung ho into it like others do on this forum.

justwise:


Can you point out specifically where it says one should not submit utility bills and council tax documents under visiting visa application?

It's an interpretation - and I'm not attacking you Justwise.

Section 1 of the document covers all documents you must attach to all applications.
Section 2 covers extra documents that you can use to support a visit visa.
Section 3 covers specific documents for specific visa types.
Section 4 (where this is) is actually separate from Transit Visa (which is the last section of Section 3) and covers the documents that you should not send. There isn't any language in Section 4 to suggest the section excludes the Standard visitor visa.

Utility and council tax bills are specifically mentioned in section 4.

justwise:
@Batba1


That was under transit visa application and not visiting visa

Doesn't seem so, Justwise:

I have a British birth certifiecate... But none of my parents is citizen .....what visa application can I apply for to visit the U.K..

What year were you born?

Onile1979:
hi

320(7B) means that you've been banned for breaching the UK’s Immigration Rules through the use of deception.

If you now try to put in an application - even for business - it will automatically be denied. You'll just be wasting your money.

castiello:
Hello peeps I traveled to uk last month and at the point of exit no immigration officer to check or stamp me out I was wondering if that's how they do I only have entry stamp no exit I ask the cabin crew and she went to ask the pilot and the pilot told her no exit stamps my question is how will dey know I exit the uk tho on exiting I place my pasport at a gate before it allow me pass to board so I guess maybe exit is electronic guys pls explain more

The UK doesn't stamp on exit. They still know exactly when you've left because your airline scans the MRP part of your passport as you check in for your flight home. They then compare this against your boarding pass which is scanned as you board the plane. Airlines automatically send this passport and boarding pass scan data to UKVI, proving your exit.

gg4real:
i mistakenly over stay for a period of 9months

Boss, in fairness how is it possible to "mistakenly" overstay? And by 9 months?!

askari01:


Even South Africans would go to the UK with Pounds Sterling... It doesn't make any sense travelling to England with another country's currency, better still arrange for 150 pounds and ur GT mastercard. I'd rather Ease myself stress of racking my brain to answer questions at the POE or looking for where to Change Rands

Incorrect. ZAR is easily changeable at pretty much any bureau de change in the UK including all of the ones at the airport.

prince1930:
1) pls tell me d types of change d eco was talking about?

If you marry a citizen and can prove that it's a genuine and sustainable marriage. Occasionally right to family life too if you have children with a partner that is legally living in the UK.

prince1930:
2) if i get france student visa and travel by road 2 greet a friend in u.k,hope d banned wont affect me from entering u.k?

The UK isn't part of the Schengen zone so documents are checked at every entry point that exists - if driving it will be the Eurotunnel or the ferry ports. There's no avoiding this.

prince1930:
3) is dis ten years ban program on dere system?

Of course it is.

BTW, just thinking about this and your previous question: You obviously thought you could outsmart them by submitting fake documents as part of your visa application. Do you seriously think you can outsmart them now and effectively attempt to enter the UK illegally? You're playing with fire my friend - they take this VERY seriously - and if you're not immediately deported and returned to France at the POE, you'll find yourself locked up in an immigration detention center before being sent back to Naija. Don't try it!

Btruth:
I remember the time of Labour under Tony Blair, the UK economy was so buoyant that as a student or even on a visiting visa, you still got to pick some work to do.

Im no supporter of David Cameron but stick to the facts please. The economy during the Blair government was booming - as it was around the world - based on a credit. We know what happened when that finally collapsed.

Btruth:
But, look at it today, where or what position is UK among the countries of Europe?

The UK is today the second largest economy in Europe, recently overtaking France. The UK is the fastest growing economy in Europe, growing on an annual basis at a rate higher than Germany.

Stick to facts rather than emotion pls.

Vicjustice:

Are you really certain that the treatment and the (ambulance) transportation was free?
I doubt this because, i know that (though, it may take some time, but) they usually send bills to the person who received medical services and demand full payment of the entire costs except of course you were covered by insurance.
Before knowing what to answer to that question, i advice you to contact the address that you declared and see whether there was/is any correspondence from the hospital debt recovery body: You would have a lot of explaining to do if you left the UK while the debt was pending.

NHS A&E treatment is free for tourists. Charges are only applied if referred for inpatient treatment.

You see these performers all over London.

All it is is a seat that they sit on. The seat is attached to that pole they appear to "hold" onto, and they hide it all with their costume.

like, d first tym dad applied he wrote 3, wen he renewed hz visa last year Dec he wrote 4, just slot ma oda sis name, and he was issued d visa....nd according to d first letter of refusal, dey said.. no proper ecplaination of y mum wrote 3 nd dad 4 years ago......probably dey were Nt convince enuf......den he supported it wif sum docs....nd travellin histories.....nd luckily enuf wen he decided to slot ma sis name wen he renewed hz.... he was givin 10yrs......nd he has Nev travelld wif any of hz children .....so confused sef

Jesus wept! I haven't been to Nairaland in a while - is this how people write these days?!?

Here's a handy translation for those of you left scratching your heads:

The first time that dad applied he wrote 3. When he renewed his visa last year December, he wrote 4. He just added my other sister’s name, and he was issued the visa. And according to the first letter of refusal, they said that was no proper explanation of why my mum wrote 3 and my dad 4. Probably they weren’t convinced enough. Then he supported it with some documents and traveling history. Luckily enough when he decided to add my sister’s name when he renewed his, he was given 10 years – and he’s never travelled with any of his children. I’m so confused sef!

worry359: When you go for visa they will look at your finance and see that you want to spend all your funds on a short visit.
This makes you look a big risk of overstaying.
AUTOMATIC REJECTION!
Best save your limited funds for something else.

He's already written that he doesn't need a visa.

nairalanduser: We (2 people) intend going on vacation this winter from the last week of December and hope to stay for about 12 days with a budget of 400k.
The 400k is to cover for ticket to and fro for 2, 1 room accommodation in East London and some feeding .
I need advice from people who have gone on holiday on a winter and in London to advice if this is achievable.

Can I get a very cheap hotel with breakfast provision for less than 20 pounds in East London? with breakfast included. it's easier to find a way around feeding throughout the day as I intend cooking in my aunt's place most times.(no intention of sleeping over at her place). I have checked online and I'm seeing very expensive prices. My thought was that since its winter, it should go down. If possible the hotel shouldn't be too far from Dalston market (but if it is, I won't mind too much if only the hotel price will be less than 20pounds per night. )

Which dependable airline can we get at like 120k naira per person for a round trip? Have been seeing usual mid year prices for airlines like BA, Emirates et Co. Isn't winter supposed to be cheaper? Someone adviced on Air jordanian but I checked people's review and it wasn't wonderful. I wouldn't want to get lost in air!

We also have an intention of visiting Edinburgh for like 2-3 days.

If we can get a ticket of like 120k, that means 240k for 2 of us. then with a hotel of say 20pounds, then a total of 12 days is 240pounds (about 70,000 naira). So far is a total of N310,000. With the remaining 90k (about 315pounds), we can use for transport to Edinburgh and other miscellaneous.

is this achievable? If not, what cost options saving advice can we achieve in any of the major hurdles mentioned above?

You don't say how old you are but if you're under 30 you can stay at a youth hostel. There are none in the Dalston Market area but there are some in Greenwich. Costs vary depending on if you're willing to sleep in a dormitory (as cheap as £9 each) or private rooms (from £12). Take a look at http://www.hostelworld.com

As for Edinburgh, look into pre-booking on one of the coaches (http://www.nationalexpress.com). Cost will be in the region of £25 each way but look at several dates as the new year period is a peak time in Scotland because of the Hogmanay celebrations (www.edinburghshogmanay.org) and costs are higher.

Again you can look at an Edinburgh youth hostel to stay, but the recommendation is to book your travel and accommodation ASAP because it gets more expensive the later you leave it.

Can't help you with airlines but good luck!

zabrinma:

Thanx bro thats much convincing much appreciated, but like I said I wont add the police report in my next application I even thorn it the same day I opened my package, and yes I will take the risk in some months to come, we only leave once and we not promise tomorrow so please how do I go by the two reasons of my refusal please help me with that and leave the risk for me to handle

It's not as easy as that oga. You provided false evidence in your failed application that you had previously travelled to Poland, Hungary, and some other Eastern European countries.

Presumably you also listed them on your visa application form when answering the question "have you travelled outside your country of residence, excluding to the uK, in the last 10 years"

So that's two separate documents they know about.

They have full access to your previous failed application. Don't you think they're going to realise if you presented evidence of previously going to one set of countries, only to not disclose them in your fresh application? You got away with it this time but it will get picked up in your fresh application.

zabrinma: Please house is it becaue we are from third word and our passport is not valued cause I know and believe 60 % of whites that travel are not up to what we have achieved

No, it's because people like you who deceive in the attempt to get a visa, selfishly make things worse and so much harder for genuine applicants!

Horus: Send all Lebaneses back to their country. The Lebanese community in Nigeria has a longstanding history of dark and illegal business in Nigeria, illegal trade, drug smugling, etc

You see statements like this (which are littered throughout this thread) make me uncomfortable.

How does it differ from people abroad who say that all Nigerians are yahoo yahoo, corrupt, criminals, drug dealers etc?

dideoluayantund: courtesy demand that you allow other people to express their mind

How exactly is Vic's disagreeing with the opinions of others discourteous? He's not editing or hiding other people's posts so I don't see how he's preventing others from 'expressing their mind'.

All I see Vic doing is providing FACT rather than the subjectives or 'pray to God for a visa' that others use. I agree at times he does this in a very direct (borderline rude manner) but hey I'd much rather get his advice than guidance filtered down based on heresay. Vic provides advice that's relevant, considered and doesn't see me wasting my time or money.

Princek12:

Shut your dirty mouth. Engine failure during a commercial flight IS NOT a normal thing in civilized countries where machines undergo ROUTINE MAINTENANCE and machines ARE RETIRED after so many years in service AND SOLD TO investors who take them to RETARDED COUNTRIES like NIGERIA where engine failure now becomes a normal thing.

Perhaps you should try to do some research before making such bold claims:

British Airways - http://avherald.com/h?article=45c24847
American Airlines - http://avherald.com/h?article=468952bb&opt=0
Lufthansa - http://avherald.com/h?article=468d4c78&opt=0
Emirates - http://avherald.com/h?article=458dbb78/0000&opt=0
KLM - http://avherald.com/h?article=4686d5f0&opt=0
Delta - http://avherald.com/h?article=46736e7d&opt=0

All of these are from massive airlines in 'civilized countries' as you put it, where they do 'routine maintenance' and 'machines are retired'.

So now that your theory has been rubbished, what's your next worthless point?

olushy: Where the documents related directly to the applicant (for example, employment references, qualifications or financial details), such a claim would be likely to fail unless the applicant has clear evidence that an error has been made (for example, written confirmation from an employer, financial institution or educational establishment that they had supplied the UKBA with incorrect information at the time they verified the original

This is the key bit which shows you unfortunately have no chance. Basically what the guidance says is that the ban is not negotiable UNLESS there is evidence that the organisation made a mistake and this can be validated.

This wasn't so in your case. As an applicant you are always responsible for the authenticity of your documents even if an agent has been used.

You'll have to wait until the 10 year ban has been served before reapplying otherwise you'd be as good as throwing your money in the fire.

olushy: pls,I was refuse a 2years renewal visa to the uk , because of a false document (LSIRS TAX LETTER) which I was not aware to be a false document, So my travel consultants made an admin review to british deputy high commission lagos on the 15 of june 2012 and the PD entry clearance manager correspondence unit visa section reply on the 09/08/2012, D decision to refuse ur client application was based on d documents that ur client provided at d time of d application. D documentation that U have provided with ur correspondence was available at d Time that u made ur application .Ur client should have submitted this documentation with his application and he chose not to provide this information to ECO . i am therefore satisfied that ECO's decision is correct and in accordance with D immigration rules. The refusal notice carried with it advice about ur client's statutory right of appeal against d decisIon to an independent adjudicator in d UK . There s no record of ur client exercising his right of appeal. If ur client has not done so d 28 day time limit has passed and this matter must be regarded as close. Ur client s Free to submit a fresh application at any time at any of the visa application centres if I decides to reapply. An attempt should be made to address d concerns outlined In d refusal notice. U should be aware that ur application was refused under paragraph 320(7A).any further application may be refuse under paragraph 320(7B)
. My. Question is: if I address the concerns outlined in the refusal get a (tax letter) genuine1. Will my application still be refused under Section 320(7B).

You asked this same question almost a whole year ago and it had been answered - https://www.nairaland.com/823869/uk-visa-visa-appeal-process-part2/4#12130908

Your application was denied under paragraph 320(7A)- this is the section of the guidance that deals with deception. You have therefore been banned for 10 years.

If you try to make a new application before your 10 year ban has been served, the BHC will accept your application and your application fees, and they will immediately decline your application under paragraph 320(7b)which is the guidance attached to poor immigration history, or previous attempts at deception.

The guidance is very clear in this respect - 10 years automatic refusal if you practised deception (which includes using false documentation) in support of a previous visa application.

vm26: and when did cape town become the capital city of south africa.what happened to pretoria

South Africa has two capital cities. Pretoria is the administrative capital of SA while Cape Town is the legislative capital.

goodtalk: i simply wonder why you are belly aching over an issue as clear as the day light! And whatever be the real reason behind t'he action of Britain it pales into insignificance as Nigerians dont form t'he greatest numbers of visitors overstaying there welcome at least if t'he article posted by E gurrilla is anything to go by, t'he caucasians are t'he greatest flaunters of t'he visit visa regime. Having said that the position of hon Abike dabiri on t'he matter is abt! How else can you explain why t'he british prime minister told t'he world that they would be cutting aids from Nigeria for its refusal to support same sex marriage or homosexual/lesbian intimasy of course you can ask me of what relevance is this to solving maternal mortality and polio eradication for which some this aids where meant to address! So please spear me your munbo jumbo talk of Abike dabiri not getting a grasps of t'he issue! We need to strike at t'he heart of british intreast in Nigeria to change this obnosious and draculian bulshit of new visa regim, how many travllers can afford to keep 750 thousand naira in t'he vault of t'he queen for six months without any intreast incruable? Wicked imperialists hissssssssss!

Is there a reason why you keep on putting an apostrophe between the word 'the', or are you just dull?
