Crystallss: You can live wherever you want to... i doubt if there is a point against you living with parents. Here in Uk you have many married Indians living with their parents and it is cultural for them . I dont know all the current rules but i doubt if anyone will be rejected based on address ......iS this visiting visa? |

Good morning beautiful people, thank you all for keeping the thread active. The thread is quite informative and very helpful, it's more like a guide book for many silent readers like myself. Please I'll like to ask if the address of a shared apartment can be used when filing for a dependant. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Crystallss: 11:00am On Feb 26, 2019 |
LagosismyHome:Thanks. It's tier 2 PBS dependent visa |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 11:11am On Feb 26, 2019 |
Crystallss: A point based system is always very clear on what it is looking for . It doesn't look at things outside the requirement .... Nothing here about address . So read this and focus only on things mentioned here https://www.gov.uk/tier-2-general/family-members 1 Like |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Crystallss: 11:37am On Feb 26, 2019 |
This is the format of the application. Is it OK if I submit it this way or change the duration of stay to 2 months then explain further in the last part where they asked for additional information that we also live in Lagos together for the past 2 years?

Olonseh: You are ADVISED to get your own space before applying if you can (even if it is a studio flat or one bedroom as long as it is not a space they'll consider unfit for the number of intending occupants). However it is possible to apply using your current address as I have seen people get approved without their own permanent accommodation. All you need do is state in your application that you'll be getting your own space as soon as your dependant's visa is approved. 2 Likes |

Adej134: right move or zoopla............. Gumtree used to be a good one back in the days but lots of fake ads there so you have to be careful. Do not send anybody money for a property you havent viewed . |

I'm greatful to everyone that answered my questions. I still have a few left, do you think I should totally just ignore the Lagos address? I read online that embassy rejects visas based on address issues between couples that is why I'm this scared @lagosismyhome @Nobody @lexusgs430 @mamatukwas @Fatima04 |

[Good morning family and friends, please what can I do to let WES know that I am the same person bearing Omilana Kudirat Ajoke and Arigbabuwo Kudirat Ajoke? The formal name before marriage and the latter, with my husband's name. My original surname (Omilana) is on my credentials except PGD that I did after marriage that's carrying Arigbabuwo. Thanks |

Good day everyone, I intend applying for my husband in March for tier 2 dependant visa but the issue is I haven't changed my surname after marriage. Can this affect the application since we don't share the same surname as married couple. Help a sister please 1 Like |

My elders in the UK, help me. I just discovered I have not been paying tax since I arrived the UK, instead I have been paying the national insurance. I was told i will start paying tax in April in Addition to the National insurance. My question is does everyone pays the national insurance and tax and what do I start to gain from paying national insurance. I know Tax payment is compulsory but nobody told me about national insurance , how much is the whole money self? Why are they bent on collecting all their money back |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:17pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
mim1031: Your employer was not deducting tax? Never heard of this type of anomaly before......... National insurance contributions, helps towards your eventual state pension contributions, probably some element of tax, income support etc etc........ 2 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 9:19pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
mim1031: The tax would collected, because it's a debt you owe..... They would not collect it all in one lump, but a tax code adjustment would be made, to reflect extra tax collections.......... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 9:34pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
mim1031: 2018 / 2019 the personal allowance is £11,850 so usually you have to earn above that before tax start kicking in so maybe you havent earned up to that Yes everyone pays both once your earnings is over the yearly personal allowance . That figure changes every april . Next year amount is £12,500 5 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by justwise(m): 10:21pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
mim1031: National Insurance covers: -Maternity Allowance -Contribution-based Jobseeker's Allowance -Contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance -Bereavement Benefits -Basic State Pension -New State Pension And for your tax.. if you earn: £11,851 to £46,350 you pay 20% tax £46,351 to £150,000 you pay 40% etc 3 Likes 1 Share |

Lexusgs430: Thanks for the information, I heard they start deducting tax from April of every year |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by mim1031: 10:50pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
Lexusgs430: This is bad news�� How much more do they have to collect to finish my meagre pay |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by mim1031: 10:53pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
LagosismyHome: Thanks for your contribution, I'm more enlightened. Nut I have been earning above this year's quote. May be they just have to wait till April before charging new immigrants |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by RalphJean: 11:22pm On Feb 28, 2019 |
mim1031: Just an innocent question. What type of visa do you hold? If you hold a T2 Visa, you can’t justifiably call your pay “meagre” because you must have attained a certain threshold to be eligible for that visa category. 2 Likes |
