That’s where the problem is, it should have been only her name.
I hope you get it resolved

Wanted to do that way but the house agent won't give apartment to someone who wasn't working full time. I.e. student

The above scenerio, what are my chances of getting my passport renewed at Abuja House in London, given that my middle name does not appear on my NIN, my surname and first name matches though. Thanks.

No chance ... Add your Third Name yo your NIN

It's simple to use First Direct. Even the number of letters they send you will amaze you. I earned switch bonuses from Natwest, Royal Bank of Scotland and First Direct even though RBS are Natwest's arm.

Hello House,

For people in non-healthcare roles that switched from PSW visa to Skilled worker visa with over a year still remaining on the PSW visa, did anyone get IHS refund and how did you go about it.

Many thanks for your response

If you paid Ihs for your new visa , they might have deducted the money. However if they didn’t contact them for a refund

They didn't deduct anything as it's a different visa category. Unfortunately, the previous IHS is gone. Remember you chose not to complete the cycle of PSW visa by switching. Lol. Honestly, I wish you could get a refund, and that would be a precedent that can benefit someone I know.

Good evening,
I need dire assistance regarding what address should be shown in a court affidavit done in Nigeria for a forthcoming passport renewal/name change due to marriage (passport renewal to be done here in london very soon).
Should the said affidavit have my Nigerian address or my current UK residence?
Please help!

1. You don't need to go to the Company. Same with if you give birth to more kids. If the Company paid for your visa, you can consider requesting to see if they would consider paying for your wife's but many may not.

2. Being a Pensioner means she's retired and gets regular income so she's seen as less risk and is understandable if she stays in the UK for some months. If the visitor is working, how can you justify staying away from work for months?

Oh i get you now
As for number two, the person is still working, can a letter of annual leave suffice for as to why the visitor is leaving his/her work in nigeria to come spend sometime with me in uk.

Boss what do you consider as a frequent visit?
She's a Pensioner
Has just been granted visa presumably coz we just got a mail for collection.
Plan to stay for 5 months 2 weeks and return.
She's ever ready to visit at the most possible time even if its a week after. She's lonely and am her only daughter cool

I thought as much. I've never head off refund because you didn't exhaust the period.

But I'm curious about the bolded. Do you know if there's a reduction if it's the same visa category, for instance changing skilled worker employers?
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by tolats(m): 10:08pm On Jun 29, 2023
Please house, I have a few questions about passport renewal in London.

1. From people's recent experience, please, when is the earliest one can collect the renewed passport after capturing? I applied in may and was booked for appointment in July.
2. I couldn't see any appointment slip to print after passport registration, I don't know if this is a new development due to website upgrade or something. I need someone to confirm this for me please.
3. My passport expires in September, and I should apply for Schengen visa in August, do you think there would be problem if I apply for Schengen visa by having less down three months on the expiring passport? It's just a three days trip.
4. Does fast tracking exist with passport renewal in London?

Thank you for your help and God bless.

There’s a bit of ambiguity here. The govt website says a refund is due if the IHS was paid twice. In my mind that means people that switch visas are eligible for a refund on the unused portion of their IHS. If you look online in other forums, you will find that people that have successfully switched visa have received IHS refund for the overlapping periods. I might be wrong but think it’s not so clear cut as you put it.
