Hello house.

Thanks for tour assistance.
Pls I need clarification.
My husband does business.. solar inverter installation, but the business isn't registered.
He receives all business proceeds into his personal account.
My daughter and I applied for uk tourist visa and was given. Now he's decided to join us for summer but I'm the one sponsoring the vacation.
Pls is it sufficient for him to use his personal account and i also submit my salary account, payslip and I cam get a reference letter for him from my organisation.
We have landed documents as well.
Pls kindly advise 🙏


Is EFCC aware........ 😁😜

How good are the figures in your savings, interpolating with your salary, lifestyle and expenses........ Would also help if you submitted your own personal current account (not unless your day 2 day funding, is executed from your savings account.........

Yea this will likely be a straight refusal.
Using husbands account: irregular large deposits. Business not registered so no evidence it exists.

You sponsoring: they ll find it odd that an adult with a family isn't working. Unless you are making oodles of money enough to sponsor everyone comfortably .Also ,this "unemployed " adult travelling with entire family leaving no ties at home.

Likely he won't join this year however can join next year. If he registers his business then starts paying himself a salary from the business into a personal account.

Another hater has arrived, all your negative predictions can never come to pass, I'm sorry to burst your daydreaming imagination. It can't come to pass, you frustrated soul

Kumbhuru, take it easy! No one knows you or anyone else here (some may have met offline and in-person). The fact is no one hates you or is jealous of you, your profession or visa!

I don't think anyone here would encourage you to tell lies in your interview and encourage you to continue to do so or watch you venture into driving here (or anywhere else) which comes with its own attendant risks if you are not capable to!!! Risks that could ruin you, like someone said earlier. If you are attributing the discouragement to all of these as hate and jealousy, then my friend, you are wrong.

I have been here close to 3yrs, drove in Nigeria for well over 7yrs and it just happens that I'm interested in getting my driving licence now. I have found it really hazardous to drive here if one isn't capable to or of 'sound mind'.

Depending on one's IQ/level of grasp, three weeks of intense lessons could be enough and for others, it could take several months! I don't know you or your level of assimilation, so, I can't conclude if that's enough time to pick up the finer details in driving.

When I read you calling someone crackhead and literally abusing others, I was really shocked, but not disappointed (I don't know you)! Totally unacceptable mate.

That said, have your questions been answered here or you require further clarification or you entirely prefer to visit that Ghanaian forum?

They're all haters, I'm not so dumb to know about what you've stated. This is my 14th year on nairaland.com soao I know what these dumbskulls are capable of.
I stated a case and they decided to take the most irrelevant part and amplify it. It's hatred, jealousy, bad belle and pull him down syndrome.

The driving part was asked after they've given me offer and wasn't part of applications or interview. I drive normally but just not confident hence my question but these witches that are never happy with other people's success, whose lives are in shambles decided to attack.
One dog was even asking his father to snap offer letter. How dull can people be?

Full driving lessons is part of the offer but I just wanted to know some things hence my questions.
I won't cower, I will continuously post here, who wants to get heart attack should get it.
I wish I could show you all my various dozens previous accounts over my 14 years on this site and you would all know you are wasting your time getting jealous or angry over my wins.

Ignore typos

The picture is totally clearer to me now! But please, stop using the 'vulgar' words. I understand your angle, the abuse isn't necessary. If you don't like the tone of someone's comment, just ignore and pass. That's what I do and if you must respond, don't always abuse people. When you reply everyone in life and abuse them, you tend to distract yourself from relevant things and burn energy doing that.

Now, we have established you have some basic driving skills and there is a full driving lesson already booked here in the UK to enable you learn to drive here (totally different from driving in Nigeria. Don't take any lessons in Nigeria), secure your licence and continue to 'drive safely'. What other things do you need to know? I just passed my theory test and preparing for my practical driving test. Totally different culture (and way way safer) to driving in Nigeria!

Thank you much . Why do you say I should not take Nigeria lessons please. Anyways, I've paid for lessons in Nigeria already and they're taking me on manual drive. I was told manual vehicles are still in fashion over there.
My concern remains, the paper, temporary license given, would that be tenable over there because I'm sure the main license can never be ready before I leave as my start date is June.

The culture of driving here and in Nigeria is totally different, and since you have been fully booked for some lessons here, why the lessons in Nigeria. Unlearning that driving attitude here is difficult and a lot of work is involved.

Yes, manual transmission vehicles are well in fashion here, but I'm pro-automatic.

I am sure you'd be needing both your DL and international licence here. I'm also sure temporary or paper won't cut it. I'm not quite sure there is a provision for 'picking your licence by proxy'. Confirm and if it's possible, then have someone pick in your stead and DHL here to you.

Thank you much. Reason why I opted for the international drivers permit as that one comes out fast.
Maybe a paper temporary license and an international permit would cut. I'm not sure.
I really appreciate your time, thank you. Will revert once I have more concern. Thank you

Legal migration becomes a concern when the levels are too high and when the system is being abused e.g. the care visa racketeering.

People complained when the figures were around 200k before Brexit, so of course they will complain even louder now the figures are in the region of 700k. Hence why the government introduced a raft of measures in the last year to bring levels down.

The government and media are more vocal about asylum seekers, there's even now a minister for illegal migration which is a first.

There is now minister for common sense as well 😂

I disagree with Starmer on that one. We need even more immigrants now than before. We do not have enough homegrown talent for national growth. The asylum seekers are usually what the racists point to when talking about immigration.

I agree that it probably doesn't come up because there's an immigrant in the doorknocking party. I also avoid skinhead houses. Let the tories take the beating and verbal abuse. I m keeping safe grin

Hi missjekyll,

If it were up to you, what will your policy on immigration be? Open the gates and let everyone in? Immigration is good, but too much immigration can be a problem.

Few, on their own (unless you consider a HGV license to become a heavy goods driver). You need experience alongside; if they are low hanging then it follows that many will have acquired the same certification so the question is how do you get yourself to stand out from the crowd?

Start by googling Prince 2 providers. There are several and some are more competitively priced than others. If you reach out to register interest,they are usually open to negotiating on price. It's also cheaper if you choose an online class option, or if you self study with the school providing you the relevant materials.

Prince 2 is more popular in the UK. It's also easier and quicker to acquire as it has fewer prerequisites than PMP.

Hello everyone,

I am currently residing in the UK and find myself in a bit of a predicament. My passport has recently expired and the earliest appointment I could secure for its renewal is scheduled after the expiration date of my current visa.

This situation has left me quite concerned and I am seeking advice on a specific matter: Is it possible to apply for a graduate visa in the UK with an expired passport?

I am not exactly able to interpret the message on the page attached: I consider an expired passport to be a means of identity still. It might just not be a tenable travel document at the port of entry.

Any guidance or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

You “may” apply with your expired passport.

Write a cover letter explaining your predicament.

Upload proof of “booked appointment” for renewal.

The case worker may consider your application.

From the highlighted point, it clearly states a valid passport or any other.........

An expired passport according to you, is still a valid form of identification...... In the real world, an expired passport is not a valid form of identification.......

Seek ways to get your Nigerian passport renewed....... If you know someone, that knows someone....... 😁

NB : Let's stop waiting till the last minute, before we get our passports renewed...... You can renew your Nigerian passports, 6 months to expiration (why wait till last minute dotcom).....
