I’ve been using wise for the last 4yrs, I’ve not had an issue with them. What problems are you having or did you have?

You won’t have any problem with them until they decide you do and then it will be a crazy time, please avoid wise.

This passport renewal issue is tiring... Just gathering up my full energy to go back to london nextweek to complain and it won't be funny, cos I'll be travelling for 8hours. Collection date has passed one month now and there's no number to even call for updates.

Hello, have you found accommodation. There are many agents and I do not think houses are hard to get.

Guess you wanted to reply me. I haven't found any. I don't even know where to start or where to focus on. Zero knowledge about London and all it entails. So I need someone to advise on affordable locations not too far from work however E1 out totally of consider as accommodation is too pricey there.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Wisdom7400(m): 11:58am On Sep 12, 2023
Hi everyone. I want to apply for my mum's visa to brink our 2 kids from Nigeria. I am working and my wife is working as well and we've got a comfortable apartment for everyone to join us. I want to know what documents my mum has to submit for her visa application and how to go about it. She has been denied US visa once and the second application didn't go through due to covid restrictions that year. No travel history. So I want to use this opportunity to let her have a travel history. She is a pensioner and also heading a school and has got some appointments in the church that she is handling as well. I am looking at them coming over by end of November. My Dad is alive and a pensioner too. Due to circumstances, I may not be able to flash statement of account but can show pay slips. She will flash her own cos he has enough funds for her stay. What advice/documents do y'all think she can submit to strengthen her application and what duration of stay do I state too. Any help will be appreciated.

Everywhere in London & the surrounding is quite expensive , well it also depends on your budget . You can stretch your search towards Tilbury, Grays, Purfleet they are close proximity to E1.

Reside in the midlands and work on London? Surely not a 5 times a week monday-Friday into London, E1. Surely not . Yes?

What zone is your work place located?
although further out means you'd have to check overground train ticket prices of it's outside London zones

heroshark:

. This is wrong, you need a passport to apply. Your COS must include your passport expiration date, which have to reflect in your visa application.

The question of weda they accept an expired passport is another thing altogether which I can't confirm or deny, but you need your passport details to apply.

Send me an email - I have a spreadsheet of all the towns and cities within a 60 minute train ride of London linking it by train stations. When we briefly worked in London, we lived in St Neots. Took 45 mins on the train and about 1 hour door to door

I’d suggest you book.
My younger brother wanted booking 2weeks ago and only saw dates for 1st week of November, we tried checking at intervals to see if closer dates will drop and also tried contacting the embassy for closer dates which proved abortive.
After 2days the dates available was now November ending and upwards, he had to just book like that and wait it out.
