someone was refused visa under section 320 what what for same situation. She didnt see sister listed there. And therfore did not mention… this was her story.. HO found out and said she witheld information and got 10 years ban. Said she employed deceit. Family is family.
If they are paying 100,000 pounds to family members and this was same form you were given to fill, you will argue to last breath that brother is family(which is true) and will by all means include his information there.
I made this mistake 2 weeks ago, I’m applying for a study visa. I have not gotten a decision yet. Should I send them an email that I forgot to declare a sibling?
Please what do you suggest?

My people,

I am planning a trip from Scotland to London for my family just to refresh and rekindle energy in me that is almost depleted due to school works and settling down for past 6-7months.

I saw reasonable flights through easy jet via Gatwick/Luton/Stansted but not sure which one of the 3 airports will fit into my plan that I can easily commute btw tourist destinations, cheap but safe accommodation (bnb in family oriented area) and back to airport.

I have never been to London but looking forward to see places like London bridge that was falling down grin, London Big Ben, Iya Charlie abode, my boys will like to visit one/two clubs stadia.

I will appreciate if I can get advice on areas to search for BnB based on listed plan above. Don’t forget I be JJC for London o shocked cheesy. Thanks

London is a huge place and accommodation is expensive there, residential and tourist alike.
The good part is that public transport is excellent and you can link everywhere from everywhere with time and patience.
Use the accommodation sites to find something will suit your pocket and head off. Very likely not to be cheap.
All London airports are accessible from central London, choose any.
Regarding sightseeing, buy a ticket on a hop on hop off bus, they take you round all the major sights, best way to get a feel of the metropolis. For specific locations, simply use your phone to plot a course.

I believe I quoted you sometime earlier about this. ....
Yes, I travelled to Nigeria this Q2 with a passport that was already expired.( I don't have another passport either). The immigration officer at the airport commented on it, and I responded straightfaced (don't give chance for rubbish) and she asked me to go to another officer who then signed on the passport and asked me to ensure I get a new one.
...... I got a new one issued before I could come back to the UK.
Basically you can go home with an expired passport, but you can't come back out with it.

Do you know any good websites to get data analyst gigs?

Santa2:


@Harlem22 Start from the basics, understand data and the different data types, this would help with your data wrangling, understand the different types of problems you have to solve as a data scientist, supervised-were you have target label(regression,classification) and unsupervised learning-no target label(clustering, association, dimentionality reduction). An easy path to take could be, see yourself as data analyst first, learn and master microsoft excel, power bi/tableau and SQL and you should be able to land a gig as data analyst. From there you keep doing data science projects, there are lot and lots dataset for this on kaggle(vary your projects to cut across different areas e.g market basket analysis, recommending systems, churn, stock market prediction, email spam detection..Use this to build a portfolio, get a github profile. Learn python or R(python is used more in the industry). its easy to get overwhelmed by all this but creating a roadmap and taking it one at a time,is one of the ways dreams are achieved.

Hi everyone. My wife and baby are trying to apply for a Nigerian passport. However, we need to buy a postal order to proceed with the application. Do we need to purchase two postal orders or one postal order can be used for both of them? Thanks

Yes, the rule isn't contained in the UN refugee convention but some other legislations/policies have such. If that's not the case, the issue won't have resorted to legal intervention by the EU court.

Like I noted earlier, there's no fairness in migration and its politics. Rules and procedures are tilted to favour interests and blocks where deemed fit. Understanding this, either as a left or right winger, will shape a better perspective of the game and its end-point.

claremont:


My views on immigration (and most things in general) is pretty biased mainly because I'm hard left wing, politically. I keep on hearing people make the emboldened comment. It simply isn't true. There is no such principle in the 1951 UN Refugee convention. Refugees are allowed to apply for asylum in any country they deem fit regardless of the number of countries they have passed along the way.

I enjoyed it so wanted to share.... it about how a single mom in the UK ( father died during a family trip to Nigeria ) was able to shape and mold her 4 children into success. She the mom to Chiwetalu Ejiofor ,Zain Asher (CNN) and a daughter who is a gp


Thank you Ma......very good story

Having good time for children is very good.

Unfortunately, sending children back home now is very risky; unlike during her days naija was really safe.

Hello elders,

There is a dependant that her employer is ready to issue her CoS for her to switch to Tier 2. But from the contract signed the salary is £9.5 which is not up to the £10.10 required or £20,480.

My question now is, how is it possible for her to submit her application without been rejected?

Can she take up another job which pays her additional salary to cover the remaining part of the salary?

Note : The job is a care job.

Please advise on the best option.
