@Ty4real I dont need the help of TFL for anywhere in the East including your area(Grays,Rainham,Wickford etc) even up to Lakeside @LondonCool Of course i knew the strip carries information but it was not that pronounced as now. I remember when they introduce Oyster, it was with less info NOT MUCH NOISE. They "somehow" reduce the prices of tickets on oyster to compel people to have it. ## Of course i knew there's a difference between ADMINISTRATIVE REMOVAL and DEPORTATION. Do they take thumbprint on both? @All Can we just post the questions to the appropriate thread please |

Londoncool, please see below. 17 March - 1 Oct concession was a blanket one for all overstayers who voluntarily leave the country. However, there is an ongoing concession for those who apply in the family category. Basically, they shouldn't be affected by the ban. “First, we will not automatically refuse applications from people applying to join their family permanently in the UK—that is to say, those applying for visas as a spouse, civil partner or unmarried or same-sex partner under paragraphs 281 or 295A of the immigration rules; a fiancée or proposed civil partner, as set out in paragraph 290 of the rules; a parent, grandparent or other dependent relative, as set out in paragraph 317; a person exercising rights of access to a child, as set out in paragraph 246; or a spouse, civil partner or unmarried or same-sex partner of a refugee or person with humanitarian protection, as set out in paragraphs 352A, 352AA, 352FA and 352FD. Following some of the comments made by hon. Members this evening, I will of course check to see whether we have cast the scope of those exceptions correctly, but my initial analysis is that that is where the discretion should apply. 26.17 - Refusal where the applicant has previously breached the UK's immigration laws (Paragraph 320(7b)) 26.17.4 When does rule 320(7B) not apply?

Desola, what are you quoting from pls? Where can i find the full document? This thing's giving me sleepless nights and every bit of information would quiet those fears. thanks |
Re: Survival by Desola(f): 8:46pm On Oct 09, 2008 |
Wegams, It's all in the immigration rules on the UKBA website and the UKvisas website. See the link below. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/chapter26/#point%20seventeen |

Akolawole (m) Re: Survival Guide For Nigerians In UK I recently bought a digital tv from tesco and used my "clubcard to collect points". Barely 10minutes i got home at night (9:05pm), there was a knock at d door; Guess who? Tv licensing officer! I couldnt believe it, d saving grace was that i hadnt displayed it in the living area. The following day i had to pay my tv license fees. It later occurred to me they probably got my address from the clubcard, |
Re: Survival by damiso(f): 4:56pm On Oct 10, 2008 |
Desola: Thanks for the hint so no buying of Tv with any traceables.Although i continually tell my hubby that we would invariably have to pay it sometime or the other.i have even suggested paying with my money but no he insists that since we dont watch BBC its a rip off(pssssssssss pls dont tell him i jsut said so)But seriously me i dont like embarassment i think il just pay the thing without him knowing cos i hate screening visitors cos TV license. |

@LondonCool, Sorry this is a bit offtopic, but does an "ordinary" share dealing account (e.g from Barclays Stockbrokers, or H&B, etc) allow one purchase GDR's? I left a PM for you on NN. Thanks |

Yes make i contibute my own jor. If you have just arrived, and maybe tried to reunite with your old frinds from naija (this is mainly for the guys), Be very careful around them, emmm. . . . . . . especially if they drive flashy cars. . Me i was almost dragged into what i didnt know. It usually goes like, "open a bank account. . . . . . money is paid into it. . . . . . . you withdraw money . . . . . . . . take your own share. . . . . . . .give us our share and deal is done". I mean, one came with an Audi A6, and on another occasion, one came with a BMW convertible and my head was popping like pop corn because these were guys i knew from way back. Thank God for God oh. i would have been in hot egusi soup (from Squires) if i had not smelt a rat. You might even get offers of Drug dealing and stuff. i don't know. things happen. just settle down and be a good boy. . . . . . . . . . . well for the mean time till u understand things. give ur self 6-8 months. (and avoid too much chicken and chips.). Be wise with money. One pound coin is not one naira coin (its actually 230/250 times more) . . . . . . . . . . . . and cook!!!! |

Re: Survival by oyewolejos(m): 9:59am On Oct 13, 2008 |
attention londoncool,ako, funky,etc. please i have a problem.i applied for uk WHM and i was refused based on fake share certificate which i do not know was faked.i was refused on 2nd sept 2008 and i have since appeal against the decision.but i can hardly wait for the outcome of the appeal. pls i want o know how to apply for a review of the eco decision.though the document was fake but i did not know until i was refused. can i write to the ecm that i was not aware.and if the ecm refuse the review can i apply again without this controversial application affecting future applications. because i had that the 320(7a) will not affect people who application was refused before 1 oct 2008.is there any rule that will not affect me.though i was not banned.i sent an email to the embassy and they said i can reapply can i follow thier words. |

Re: Survival by badabeat: 10:34pm On Oct 16, 2008 |
I am always amused by the posts of our sojourners;hard truth,realistic advice,call for change but avoidance of the real solution. Truth be told, a lot of people from Nigeria are not supposed to be immigrants (legal or illegal) and my take on travel is that its the rarest and most direct form of education. Education however has disillusioned Nigerians rather than free their minds. I manage an educational travel consulting firm and I always tell my students and those that care to listen that when you travel,let the focus be personal development and not just immigration cuz of the status quo. Educational and exchange visitors can learn a lot that will empower them to make a change that will affect their life,community and the country sooner or later.Imagine what we will have if all the great brains posting here and walking the immigration landline in the UK are back home and applying what they have learned and gained to make the desired change. However, our innate ability and questionable values of followership had put idiots as our rulers and confused technocrats as aspiring leaders. Bottom line; lets think about the blood that flows in our veins, the heritage within where we were borne and let a giveback be done to guide the present crops of youth aright. Travel is education not desperation! |

Re: Survival by badabeat: 3:13pm On Oct 17, 2008 |
@ Londoncool I am not saying they must come back home to seek employment; I am sure I mentioned "personal development" which means they can come back and create jobs and help focus and mentor the young ones in the right direction. |
Re: Survival by ceasyc(f): 12:24pm On Nov 30, 2008 |
@ londoncool n whoever can answer this please using IOM (international organisation for migration) to voluntarily return home as a failed asylum seeker who stayed in d uk for some years illegally/after asylum refusal and whereby IOM paid 4 everything (trip bk home) including giving some money out to individuals to set up a business in Nigeria/whichever country can we apply to visit d uk or apply 4 a settlement visa as someone who is marrying an EU citizen who is living in d uk? or does d ban of 1, 5 or 10 years apply to such individuals? how many years? how do we go about d uk visit visa or marriage/settlement visa? and wot r our chances? urgent replies please thx |
Re: Survival by brownbonno(m): 4:14pm On Nov 30, 2008 |
@ceasyc IOM is not a UK organisation and is not included in the No recourse to public fund.(No recourse to public funds’ applies to a person who is subject to immigration control; does not have the right to work; and has no entitlement to welfare benefits, public housing or UKBA asylum support.) Spouse settlement Visa and EEA family permit can be successful without negative reference to his/her past.Provided there is no criminal conviction during his stay in the UK.Visit Visa could be a problem. |
