I don't think Iceland is bad... Lidl just upgraded big time...

Lidl price is just there joor. There pampers and baby wipes is just too dry and they have the driest brioche bread ever.

Tesco brioche the best and then Aldi for others.

Haven't been to Iceland yet as it's too far

1. How would you prove that he is your spouse? You aren’t qualified for a spousal visa.

2. I am assuming you are >18 years of age is that correct ? You can’t be his dependant.

3. What does ‘sponsor’ mean,in this context?

2. Sure? I can't be a dependant of my fiance when he regularly sends me upkeep?
3. By sponsor, I mean he files for me. Providing his tax records, bills, bank account and evidence of accomodation suitable for two etc. and maybe explaining in a cover letter why he is sponsoring me.

TiffanyCara:
Morning folks, I'm in a dilemma and I hope this is the right thread to seek help.

I defaulted on my US visa and so technically I am an illegal resident, though I have applied for a green card 6months ago. However, I plan to join my fiancé who is on a Tier 2 visa and has a comfortable job.

The plan is to get married as soon as I come over but Gov.uk says if I apply for a spousal visa, I would only have a 6months leave and I can't switch visas.
The other option is to apply as a dependant but when he got into the UK, we weren't engaged at the time, so I wasn't included as his dependant.

Pls I need advice on the options available to me, I'm really confused.

PS: If he sponsors me, I hope my bad immigration history wouldn't be a ground for rejection.

You would require a marriage license to conduct a ceremony in the UK. Who would grant you this license?

How do you intend to get to the UK, on an expired USA visa ?

I think you know what to do, but you are trying or hoping to circumvent procedures. This proposed circumvention, is a very slow ticking timebomb...........

If your sponsor can keep getting his visa renewed for the foreseeable future, you need to get your skates on and return to Nigeria........

NB : Answer the 2 questions above, so I can view this from your angle .......

It has been a very pleasant day for me here after checking street map of my accommodation in London South East. Please what are the necessary food stuff to take along ? I want to venture into hair stylist and importation/exportation business while studying over there, isn't it a bad idea? I can't stop dreaming of my first night at London... indeed life is so beautiful but not in Nigeria sha embarassed.

I know right. Took me a while to really sort and compare. Iceland is just in my backyard but I still find my way to far Lidl to do fruits and veggies shopping. I just go to Iceland to grab frozen stuffs. They are very good at it. Tesco and ASDA na when I just wan go sight see.

grin grin grin

Same with Whole Foods here in the United States...

Everything is so freaking expensive in that store...

Maybe because they're owned by Amazon...

You can do all you want to do in the UK as long as it is within the law and doesn't go against your visa guideline.
Easy on the food though, bring more Nigerian ish than food you can easily get here (and at a good price)..

@bolded, First night in London..Lol. After 1 week, You will find out, but it is far better than Naija!!

If I’m correct you are coming on a student’s visa, meaning you can’t do full time work and can only work about 20 hours a week. So unless you are planning to do it under th books I’m not sure you are allowed to legally do business

I've been riding in buses in Scotland for 2weeks plus now. I havent seen anyone sleeping on those buses, could it be mere coincidence? Because in Naija before the vehicle moves for 30mins someone's head is already hitting your shoulder.

They're probably waiting for you to get off the bus first. especially if you keep staring at everybody wondering who is sleeping

Babe you can do it but it has to be coded and cash only. You can start with your church members and students. Be careful

Forget that importation/exportation and focus on the stylist business. I have a friend that's a student in Bristol, apart from the 20 hrs work, she is a hair stylist but collects only cash
