Viruses:

What's are your exact reasons?
Too much traffic, no road signs, no parking space or what?

I mean if this advice is anything to go buy, the reason should not be because someone on Nairaland said so.

As a non resident not familiar with ULEZ areas. You enter the trap. 2. Traffic is crazy in central london. I ended up spending more on gas compared to where i came from.

Bro ..easy na

Strange that this question keeps coming up few hours or days after we just discuss it. Folks don't read older posts any more?

I remember when I came into UK, I read through over a thousand pages of this thread. Took me months but the knowledge I got helped me so much. [/quote]

Indeed?

It's the UK, no need for links
Just like in Nigeria but in the UK, having a link is the fastest way to get a job. Seen it several times in places I have worked. Some companies even encourage it, to reduce recruitment cost.

You don't seem to understand what a "link" is

It's different from "referral"

I believe I know exactly what you mean. In Nigeria it is called "Man know man". If that is not what you mean, then please let me know. I am happy to learn.
Man know man is the easiet way to get a job here. In fact I have been referred for sevral jobs which I ended up not getting.

What is on the BRP ? RESTRICTED work or NO work?
With restricted work, you can work 100% but just in a particular industry.
AgentXxx:
They did that in the past but the council still maintains that only the student spouse is entitled to 25% even when it’s clearly stated on the dependent’s Brp that restricted work and no claim to public funds.

This is really the first time am hearing of a council being stubborn about this, the bankruptcy has probably gone into their head and just want to get money anyway.

With the evidence from their site and brp supporting no claim to public funds and restricted work, won’t they win the council if they eventually get charged to courts, Tbh, I wouldn’t want them to pay any dime because it’s so clear they shouldn’t be paying based on what is clear on their website.

Modified: They reached out to citizen’s advice and they also said they are not meant to pay.

Good day everyone.

I arrived June and I'm on dependent visa. Do I have to do NI? I saw one NI number on my BRP
That's your NI. No need to apply again.
Most BRP have NI at their back these days Skilled visa and long stay visa etc

CRYPTICALLY
Convert to USDT......send the log in to your benefactor or save it...then you can always convert on yellow card or sell on binance or to reliable vendors like myself on Paxful.
Enough said.
wonlasewonimi:


Thanks bro...that criptical way is too prone to heart palpitations.
No contrarily it isn't prone to such if you stick to only USDT for the transfers /transactions..it's a stable with no proneness to heart palpitations.
Unless the funds in question is not to be converted to Naira as you purported.
USDT = USD in value.

dustydee:

Binance can lock your funds if it's beyond a certain amount until you provide source of funds. It can take a few weeks to resolve. Never heard of yellow card, please send link.
But generally, converting to naira via crypto isn't too difficult. In fact I dread converting to pounds using p2p than to naira.

Go on playstore or appstore for it...as per locking funds the amount in question can't attract such restriction.
BTW if you are into or desire to earn via NFTs flipping on coinbase I have time outside NL to avoid bans.


Wittyness

Hi Guys,

Please i want to understand something.

Switching from a T4 to a T2 Visa will put you on a 5 year route to ILR. Which means you will require sponsorship for those 5 years till you get your ILR where you no longer require sponsorship to work in the UK right?

Now is that same for a person who switches from a T4 to a PSW first and then a T2, which will put the person on the 10 years route to ILR. Will the person also require continuous sponsorship till they obtain ILR in which they will no longer require sponsorship to continue to work in the UK?

Any form of legal stay in the uk counts towards the 10 year route, T4, PSW, T2 if all equal 10 years u get ILR.
T2 alone 5 years equal ILR

Chat gpt plus (the free version is also good but not as reasonable as the paid version ($20 monthly)

Microsoft Bing Chat - free

Claude Ai - free

Google bard - free

I use all, to have different perspectives on a subject matter but mostly use Gpt plus

(With AI, less time spent in understanding complex concepts/matter, issues, code, quick summary of, pdfs, webpages, YouTube videos instead of spending hours watching, etc )
