Good morning elders.

Please help o! My letting agency has requested for my right to rent but the prompt I kept getting from the right to rent page is “ The details entered don't match our records”. I switched visas mid last year so I got a new BRP.

Please has anyone had this issue before?

Dude,just give it up. You will not be left until you tender a heartfelt apology to the OP. None of this "dont think too much of it" rubbish. You should have read through to learn how we address one another even in the heat of the argument .

We want to see a "My sincere apologies. I was being silly and wont do that again".

Otherwise ,just leave this thread for the polite inhabitants. My people,no be so? or am I being mean?


No ma'am you were too polite. Clowns like SavageResponse don't deserve being treated with politeness and respect!

I'm sure you know it's a typographical error grin

All the same I would rather have a typographical error than write "Borrow me 5K instead" of "Lend me 5K" or "I would like to borrow 5K from you".


I'd prefer if you could BORROW some common sense and move back to Romance section.

The yoruba adage goes; ''a child being fed never understands the meaning of famine''.

If you took the time to consider spending N950 on a pack of spaghetti and N300 on an egg to keep your body and soul together, you wouldn't be here spewing rubbish.

People return here daily after a long day's work, seeking valuable information to improve their lives. Yet individuals like you come here solely to elongate threads unnecessarily.

Anyone lives in Lincoln here?

Or could someone tell me about their experience in Lincoln.

Could be Lincolnshire county as a whole, Lincoln city, South Hykeham and North Hykeham.

Thanks.

Hi, what experience precisely do you need? Social, jobs opportunities, diversity or cost of living?

One thing that marvels me is how a disable person can live a normal life abroad.

The architects who design building such as hotels, apartments, car park, already considered disable people, there is a level slop for them to wheel themself into the building

What about buses, the manufacturer already considered disable people, they can easily wheel themself in the public bus and all the driver has to do is drop down some steps

Even hospital building, they have a special entry way to pass

Shey na u wey dey wheel chair wan enter brt for ikorodu bus stop? Who go stop for u or who go carry u? Bus wey abled people never see chance enter na u wey dey wheel chair wan enter?


These things may look little but its a lot to disabled people

Ha your son wrote about his dad being a thief?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I can’t figure out what sparked such imagination till today. His mother said maybe because she always tells them “you know your dad would do anything to give you guys the best in life, so you gotta do well in your academics to make him proud “🤣🤣🤣

Since that day nobody gives baba all those inspirational quotes again.

You should be very worried. You have two children corroborating the allegations of "abuse" and that's what the school is concerned about. In addition to this, one of your children is a vulnerable child with learning needs.

In Scotland, I know families that faced similar allegations and the kids were removed from their care. One was very recent. The kids told the teachers that their parents spanked them with belts meanwhile this was totally false. Parents were booked at police station and the kids had a full medical examination. The case were eventually closed after 6 months of torture for the family.

The issue is you or an aunty might have spanked or scolded those kids in Nigeria and its that experience they are relaying to their teachers.

You and your wife need to be united in this. If you are ever asked if you spanked your children whether Nigeria or Zimbabwe, tell them an emphatic NO. You will be asked your parenting style - Google to find out what's acceptable in the UK.

Were you sending your kids to school without snacks? The school might provide lunch but you have to provide snacks they would eat during breaks.

If you've not started already, you need to start "brainwashing" your kids with love and affection. Kisses, hugs, taking them to the park, mcdonalds, soft play center, bake with them at home, have Friday indoor movie nights with them etc. You need to get them to a place that when they are asked in school about their home life, their faces will lighten up with joy and they won't remember any negative experience meted to them by anyone either here or Nigeria.

Never ever let your kids go to school unhappy. It's usually in that mood or state of happiness that they get interrogated and say all sorts.

Make sure you don't shout at them.Shouting at kids in this country is termed emotional abuse and its totally unacceptable. When picking them up at school, show them love, give them hugs as those teachers will be watching your every move including your body language and interaction with your kids.

Be polite with the teachers and social workers. Any allegation that has been written in their assessment, you need to deny it and make sure its documented on their assessment that the allegations never happened. Do not raise your tone at them or anyone else.

The social worker can decide to visit your home at very short notice. Make sure your home is neat and tidy and same with your children's room. Display on the dining area or any area visible to the social worker basket of assorted fruits. Make sure you have food in your fridge - they can decide to open it and check (with your consent). Have toys around the house. These are things the social worker will look at when making their assessment on whether or not your home is a safe environment for your children.

Make sure you cooperate 100% with the social worker. They have the power to close this case or escalate things by 1000000% with a single phone call. If they suggest you go for parenting class, please attend. What you do not want is for them to note down that you've refused their help or you are a non-engaging family.

All the best.

I’m a newly qualified social worker. This is 💯. Spot on

My 7 yr son was asked to write a composition in school and the young lad wrote a Robin Hood kind of story. How the thief would rob Amazon warehouse and bring home toys and bikes for his children. He went on by saying the the thief was caught and he ended up being his dad. While the schools acknowledged his creativity I was invited for a chat about my past and a fresh background check was conducted on me. The young lad was also questioned and he told them he was simply trying to portray the extent his dad would go because he loves them. Matter still nor end till I called their bluffs. Meanwhile I wasn’t living in the same county with my family as at the time.

With that in mind, I ensured I erased the hard-steel naija parenting style from their memories to avoid future invitations using those steps you mentioned above

I didn’t submit it. The advice that I got was that main applicant signs it and upload. I didn’t upload it on mine.
Please, is it possible to send a document after biometrics?



My dependants didn't upload it either.

I just need to find out if documents can still be uploaded after biometrics

Hello

Don't panic

Bank statement can be printed for more than 28days

The ECO hopefully should be able to verify the statement,if not an NSF will e sent for it.

If that happens she should reprint it till date and ensure it is stamped

Thanks. I'm relieved

you absolutely do not need stamped bank statements. If it is mobile app generated it is fine.
Also the rule is minimum 28 days , not maximum 28 days. Pls calm down

Hello house.

My wife and kids are about to apply for visa as my dependants. My school is in Nottingham while we plan to base them in Kent. We could have filled out my address in Notts but I stay in school hostel and cannot contain a family of 5.

My issues are if we fill in the Kent address, won't UKVI raise questions.? Two, if we fill in my school accommodation address too will it not raise another question, like how can you lot cramp up yourselves in a one-bedder? Lastly if we use my hostel accommodation address and they come in, SOCIAL SERVICE would start breathing down on my neck within a couple of weeks as to why the kids haven't started school. Pls how do I explain to SOCIAL SERVICE they're in school in Kent?

I want to start the visa application for my dependent, wife and 3 kids. I've traveled to UK since January 2022. My ask is around the POF for monthly upkeep , I want to transfer the money for four of them into my wife accounts because she's applying together with her siblings. I'm going to submit the visa application first week of June, I hope is not going to be a case that POF is recycling between MA and wife dependent. I want to be sure is not going to affect their application. Also, I hope Ukvi will not be demanding from me to tender the POF in my name that was used during mine visa application last year December. I need suggestions please.
