Ehnnn .... maybe it been long but I was told the passport came from Nigeria or an African country grin hence why it takes time. But now you said it, it more efficient to have it printed in the building

No, the passport is printed at the high commission. Needed it urgently, met a good Samaritan that helped but had to pay the emergency fee. Did biometrics and collected it on the same day. After travelling from madam Nicola land twice.

Just check Shelter.org.uk they will tell you how to fight with your landlord. There are 5 stages, after writing those 5 letters, you’re free to fix it yourself and deduct the cost from your rent.

Of course the agency or landlord will harass you. Tell them to go and call the police on you, that you have all the letters that you sent to the landlord/agency and you will give it to the police with a link to shelters website. That it will be an easy investigation.

That’s how I shut my landlord and agency up, when they wanted to bully, rubbish, they don’t know that I’m a mad woman!

Thank you. Will check them out. I have written my council “private tenant reporting your landlord thingy”. Will check this shelter.org too. I have never lived anywhere that a tenant had to take responsibility for such repair!

London transportation is cool and you'd only need a car if you don't want to rely on public transport for those odd hours movement or for those days when there are train delays. I did an estimated break down on the other UK post.

I want to ask some questions guys.

Someone who has certificate of sponsorship assigned on 1st of August which expires on 2nd of November that's 3months duration b4 it expires.

Is it possible for someone to make use of that CoS to apply for Visa on October 29th, 30th or 31st. Or is the CoS still valid to apply for visa ending of October.


2nd: Questions. Can one assigned two Cos from different employer at the same time. Or can one have another CoS assigned from different employer at d same time before the previous CoS expires. **employer is NHS**.

But the only way to mitigate it is to wake Baba Buhari up as he is obviously sleeping on many issues.

590 is the lowest I have seen the naira to the pound. I believe the person that said it was 600 uses agents.

The two are not necessarily related. The exchange rate matters a lot because we are import dependent otherwise it would not be a big deal. The naira is still stronger than South Korean Won and Vietnamese dong but those economies are thriving while ours is on ventilator.
