Thanks Chreze for always having me in mind.
I appreciate the all responses (Healthyliving, Umarwy and Pearlyfaze) on my issue. I cherished the sincere advices.

I am already working out on keeping the kids here but will like to give more insight.

My 16yr kid will turn 17 by April and was in final class in Nigeria b4 we moved. He is expected to register for WAEC latest tomorrow, write WAEC & JAMB before June. I have not be able to secure permanent accommodation yet and all my kids are not back to school after 3wks in Scotland. I am just thinking allowing him to return will give additional opportunity to possibly apply to any other university/college outside UK. I know that will be at a cost.

@ Maturedhustler.
I am in the same situation presently. Coming to UK via study route. Plan to be in UK this year with my daughter who will be resuming in her final class here in Nigeria this September and therefore due to write her WAEC exam in May/June next year. Pls how did you resolve the issue of your own 16 yrs kid mentioned above?

Look at some countries in Europe, the ones that have free education for international student. It would be closer to home (UK) and no strike

Just make sure any child almost close to 18 that you do their visa. Even if they don't live in UK, absence don't count for children so doesn't matter but you must do the visa or they lose it over 18 and have not applied

Thank you.

So your one year of residence starts from the day you came to the UK to live under whatever resident visa you had before you switched to the Skilled Worker visa.

I haven't done biometrics yet, so hopefully no forfeit.
How long does it take with the new priority application? Say I start on Monday next week...when will I get the new BRP?

If you have not done biometric, both payments will be refunded.

Using my case as an example, I used the ID app check and made payments on the 1st of September and and got decision on the 3rd of September.

lowander:
Hello All, please I need clarification on something. I recently got a job in the Uk with salary of £50,000.

Below are my questions:
I) is the salary above fair enough for a single guy
Ii) How easy is it to get side jobs outside the one on my work visa?

Road closed - armed men every 100m … it is what it is …

TheGuyFromHR:
The thing I'm enjoying now is watching BBC and seeing the King of England driving in a small 3 car convoy along the road I used to follow from Uxbridge to central London. Outriders clearing the road smoothly, moving in and out, the convoy passing ordinary traffic in other lanes as usual, of course the aerial, ground and other security must be tight and all that, but ordinary motorists are barely affected.

On the other hand, if any of those bloody wankers in power in Naija were to be passing somewhere...

Well, some people get jobs but it really isn't that easy for students.

I think dependents get jobs easily as most of the jobs are full time. remote customer service jobs, support etc

@ LagosismyHome. Profound thanks. However, pls explain what you mean by absence don't count for children? Does it count for an adult? As in if a spouse comes in, collects BRP and other necessary documentation but move back to Nigeria for like 3 - 5 months, is there any implication?

This comment is baffling!

[q1uote author=jesmond3945 post=116432291]We codemn Nigerians for voting tribe and religion but look at England who suppose inspire us and show us the way, see their voting pattern.How can you compare economic master sunak, somebody that would literally put money in your pocket as father xmas, a billionaire who took UK out of economic woes due pandemic with a war monger and characterless woman like liz truss? What does she know about economy?
Even as foreign master how many deals she don sign. Na so we go vote for 2023, tribe and religion. Finally, all man for himself.[/quote]
