Hello room, please who can suggest a cheaper courier service apart from Royal Mail to send package to Nigeria, like 2kg stuff inside small carton. Not in hurry for delivery. Thanks |

Aphrodite007:I m not quite happy with the tone of this reply. I preferred the first two replies. Lying is not an exclusive preserve of Nigerians. Babies start to lie before they can talk. Poster only wanted to know whether there are any advantages to adding an extra passport number when applying. I cant help though poster. I dont think it ll reduce the cost of the visa so just answer no and jump and pass. Tier 2 visa are usually walk overs anyway as they need your tax to finance f***ing brexit 5 Likes |

Hello house please what is the process of using NARIC to verify degree certificate. I am a bit confused. Can any body put me through. Moreso are they charges I have to make to NARIC? How much is their payment. Please I will appreciate any one that have gone through it to explain. Many thanks. |

Please dear house I need the requirements one can meet for self employed route. Please those of you that have gone through self employed route for spouse visa kindly educate. I got confused when reading it on line. Category G and category F. I saw that one have to be earning about £23,000 for full financial year and the other one u add two financial year and divide by two. I am confused. I taught that the minimum annual salary is £18600? Is the self employed money diff from permanent job? Please @Lexusgs430, @Justwise and others who have really assisted me pls put me through this one. My wife works as agency health care assistant and she is paid weekly, she has accountant and also work with different agencies, mostly shift job. she works so hard when there are plenty shifts at the hospital. Pls we need advice on the self employed route. Many thanks. |

Phayie: I think its necessary because the action of one person affect all of us, we should call it out each time somebody come out publicly seeking for a way to circumvent a system. Sometimes we Nigerians take extraordinary step to do the wrong thing even when doing the right thing is easier. 6 Likes |

Let me add my contribution to this issue. I am not in UK, but still searching for an opportunity to leave naija. @Aphrodite007 said is correct. I got to know about this while researching for ways to travel. Please, read the Premium times news paper for July 24, 2019 with the link below: https://www.premiumtimesng.com/news/headlines/342672-nigeria-introduces-new-federal-marriage-certificate.htmlquote author=Aphrodite007 post=80488321] I am not sure how correct this is. Before 2018 the embassies received all wedding certificates both local and federal. But there was a circular in the newspapers that the embassies are only going to recognise federal. I didn’t want to test the waters with my own spousal visa so I just went to a federal court and did mine to avoid stories that touch. So unless someone that did their spousal visa in 2018 says that they used their local govt wedding cert, I think it’s best to just do the federal.[/quote] |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by justwise(m): 4:38pm On Jul 26, 2019 |
connectgt: This is not true, the UK embassy in Nigeria accepts marriage certificate from local registry and a family member used the local one to get spouse visa just last year. |

RalphJean: Hmmn, it is not a lie as it is being treated here. When I was filling this form my interpretation of the question is "is the dependant coming with you to the UK" simply because the superceding explanation states this" is to enable you put in their passport information details for when your dependant applies" which they will have to fill an independent application. I believe this is just for verification purposes only to match up the details of the principal and dependants When filling for Tier 2 with dependants you want to be careful, especially when the COS covers them for fund maintenance requirement. For example, when applying for NI, a question asks where was your visa issued (my BRP clearly states UK) but in reality DWP wants you to choose Nigeria. When my friend assumed differently and chose UK, he got called in for an interview for a false misinterpretation. This is in no way trying to justifying lying on applications/ang scenario because it just complicates your life out in tying loose ends. 2 Likes |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 5:34pm On Jul 26, 2019 |
Just to add, the application questions are not entirely wholesome and specific to each visa category and do have ambiguous questions. E.g I am applying for a Tier 2 visa for 3years and they asked where you will be staying during your stay in the UK. Now you can choose either a family or paid accommodation with the employer, but none of them qualifies as being right. |
