Good evening
I need advice, I think it will be given better by those that stay in the uk
We will be relocating to the UK, Liverpool to be precise(tier 2 visa) we are a family of 3
With respect to clothing, food, accommodation and flight

My wife wants to bring along some foodstuffs, please what kind of foodstuffs are permissible?
Most Nigerian foodstuff are available here, bt things like egusi, ogbon crayfish can seem pricey i comparison with naija.
she can bring any food items as log as its nt liquid. and max for fish is 20kg

We intend to buy just one jacket per person till we get to the UK, is this decision okay?
Yes

The organisation is not providing us any accommodation and we need a place for isolation. Please what are the best options with regards to cost
Airbnb

We are planning on booking Turkish Airlines, good decision?
Most airlnes offer similar service, it all depends o the price.
Make sure you fly to manchester as its much closer to liverpool than london, and easier to get to


I will be grateful for your inputs

Bourne007:
@bolded.. Does he intend to study for 10 years and then file for PR? I ask 'cos you make it sound like na so them dey issue PR

Soknown:

Mine expired in June, I paid for the renewal in the same month. I was contacted to come for the Biometric this week. Rumours have it that they have a lot of backlogs to sort out because of the lockdown.
My friend paid for renewal in January, she was contacted to come for Biometric capture in July.
The Covid 19 saga disrupted a lot of activities, you know.
If you don't get an appointment by October ending. I suggest that you should print out your payment acknowledgement details and go to the Nigeria House.
Let me know if you need further assistance by then.

My people, please for dependant on student visa, is middle name really important. Bank statement of the partner shows middle name but other documents doesnt include that name e.g marriage certificate and kids certificates.

Also, must the bank statement be stamped on each page if its on banks letterhead. Though the guidance says its not really necessary.

Good morning, kudos to everyone contributing on this thread. Asking the question on behalf of a brother:

Question:
Please a quick response is needed as he is about to make a decision by paying School deposit tomorrow location is Oxfordshine.

his profile:
He is Software Developer with paid employment here in Nigeria, he also have his personal business with an average income of like 800k per month, he is also a family man and he live in his own house, presently maintaining 3 cars, wife also have her business running averagely well just to mention but few about him.

The Big Question is that he seems to be tired of this country and he is finding every means NOT to raise his children in this country. So the main reason why he wants to travel abroad is to explore every means to stay permanently after study, please how attainable is this plan?.

Please for those living in the UK, what is life like for IT professional in the UK? Viz and viz securing a job during and after study (M.Sc) the average living expenses and how attainable is the dream of living a better life.

Note: Considering his little status here working as a security guard or shop attendant may not be of best interest ALTHOUGH he is not unaware that nothing good comes in easy way especially in foreign land.

Thanks for your prompt responses

I don't think that is a prob, first and last names need to be consistent in her documents and stamping bank statement is not necessary.

LagosismyHome:


I have definitely seen old post where it was said it didnt matter

fatima04:


Thanks sis, tried searching but couldn't see any reference.

Maybe will just add affidavit and cover letter for peace of mind cos the bank statement is the most important document for dependant.

I suggest that he comes in first without his family to weigh up things then decide whether he can hack it in the UK.

Does he have kids?

Teemez:
Yes, two boys.more input will be appreciated

tennyalad:
There are two main universities in Oxfordshire, if he's going to the ivy league one, he's will be in a position to choose any jobs he basically wants to do.

Depending on the dev language he's proficient in, he would probably make the same money he already makes in Nigeria here working part time during study and he's almost guaranteed to get a job post study that would probably lead to sponsorship.

I work in the industry and know how easy it is to extend an offer and hope the person starts before getting a better offer elsewhere.

justwise:


As a software developer he has a good chance of getting a job after graduation if he is good at it, with the two years post-study work permit program he will have enough time to make that decision.

He can come first then bring his family later.

Monmarri:

File for PR as in Permanent Residency? I’m this UK abi is there another UK?

Even us that have British spouse and children don’t have permanent residency, doctors that have been working here for 4 years don’t have permanent residency, na student

SAP is a software that he can learn. He doesn’t need a degree in it. No need to do a degree in project management (which is even phasing out due to agile practice), supply chain is great but a professional course in it can suffice no need to do a degree in it. Data can’t fail anyone but this person has to know sql, Python and R; they can’t just expect to get a degree in DA and get a Data job.

Aphrodite007:


The requirement is a minimum of £18k6 annually. Yours is almost 17k after 6 months shey? So you’re good to go.
