These are just the consequences of 'working smart'. I really feel for your friend after all the japa moves and cost involved.
I don't think they give appeal anymore on these type of visas but Admin review (Appeal has more weight than Admin review).
Either way he has breached a condition of his leave and if he voluntarily leaves the country, he can apply for any other visa and re-enter after 12 months.
Mobil567: asking for a friend who just received breakfast. His PSW has just been denied on the basis of working more than 20 hours during term time. He has been given the notice to leave the UK within 6 weeks or appeal the case. Please any advice? I suggested he come to my area but he still wants to be in the UK.....
I have asked him to also come and share his case here for better analysis but he is really down atm. It's really paining him because his friend who worked over 20 hours got away with it, his own was approved. if you have a suggestion, pls share thanks
Fixed deposit accounts (certificates of deposit) can also be used.
Omotola222: Hi guys, please I want to know if I can put my POF into a fixed deposit account….. or must it be a normal savings or current account…. Cos I don’t want the POF to be paid into a new account or account that those not carry my name… Thanks
1. for an international driver's licence you need to have a valid local licence then visit the same centre where you renew (FRSC or VIO office) and tell them you want an international driver's licence. Please ensure to go with two passport photographs. The cost is around N10,000..do not be exploited!!!
2. for a Police Character Certificate please visit the criminal registry office, Alagbon, Lagos, or other state command headquarters. Also, you can sort for people who act as an agent to help get it sorted on this platform..some of them are trustworthy! it is your choice on that!
STENON: Hi Everyone. I am tired of searching the Internet. Please I need information on travelling to Republic of Ireland for tourism with UK spousal visa, Do I need to apply for ireland tourist visa ? Thank you.
I am trying to understand oh, he approaches registry and says he wants to give notice of marriage and says he is already married in Nigeria but wants to get married again in the UK. Do they marry people that are married when it is not vow renewal?
If so he/she might need to present divorce or death certificate according to this link though
This was my first thought as well based on my initial comment except @Ugmama says otherwise.
mimilyrics: More like a court wedding and a garden wedding-like ceremony that doesn't require any legalities.
The white wedding is technically a westerners white/legal wedding but many Nigerians, especially the ladies, don't see it like that hence, the need to want a court wedding, traditional wedding and white "aka church" wedding.
The "white" wedding per the above scenario may be planned to be a garden party with the bride wearing white, with a "pastor" officiating nd the attendees treating it like the main wedding. Example of this 1. Annie and 2baba's Dubai beach wedding. 2. Annie and 2baba's 10th year renewal of vows ceremony in SA.
Many ladies have always built up ideas of how they want their wedding ceremonies to be and when they have registry weddings without an after-party, they feel like they've been cheated out of getting married and they feel like they are not truly married till they wear a white wedding dress for a "white" wedding. Many ladies in Nigeria do this and feel this way.
This is just me trying to see from the dependant's point of view since getting legally married to the same person twice, irrespective of the situation, is impossible except a divorce is 1st effected.
They've already done traditional and court marriage. What's suspicious about doing a wedding in the UK? If they want it, they should go for it
hosey: I don't think traditional marriage is acceptable by UK.
Only Islamic, Church and Court Marriage certificate are accepted.
Since you did court marriage in Nigeria, then your wife can come to the UK on a dependant visa. Check my comments on page 350 on the other evidence your wife need for dependant visa.
If she insists she wants to do another wedding in UK again when she arrive within two months, then it looks suspicious. Authorities might think your previous marriage is a sham and there could be consequences. Also, she might have her own ulterior motive too for the future in case of child support and divorce.
Decline and reject it as it looks suspicious. Don't allow your wife to control you. She knows the law more than you. Be careful.
Asking for a friend here in the UK. He is graduating this April, first degree and is engaged to an EU citizen here in the UK. He is in the process of doing the marriage stuff but the lawyer handling it is telling him that he needs ielts in order to file the marriage papers. Was thinking that ielts is only for Academic purposes or work. Wetin concern am with Marriage ?
Strange he had to drop his previous pp. The times I've renewed, I've never been asked to drop it and always take it along. Best you visit the embassy as reaching them by phone can be a pain. It's also important to get hold of it as evidence for ILR. Hope he has a BRP sha
Hubby had his pp biometrics done last week Wednesday and it was just received this morning. But just the new one was sent, the previous pp with Visa was not sent. Please is that how it's done now for those who recently had their pp renewed
Ask for CoS (Certificate of Sponsorship). I'm sure dem no go respond back
Tunnazboi: Good evening all. I got a job offer letter from a company in the United Kingdom, I was told to sign and scan back to acknowledge that I accept the letter and also send a copy to work permit UK visa bureau unit consultant on how to process visa and work permit, I did and the consultant has sent me the information on how to obtain the visa and work permit. Visa fee £655 for 5 years, work permit £1220. Please help I don't want to fall for scammers
I hv a ban for 10yrs in the UK but it is almost complete now and I intend to apply for another visa because my spouse is in their country and with a dependant visa.what class of visa can I apply for.
Juwon01: Hello @justwise and other gurus Please can someone staying in dubai use her naira account proof of funds to apply for visa and submit in dubai? Would it be accepted?
LagosismyHome: I am tempted to say this probably cannot happen now because of multiple authentication and my bank now makes me confirm a code as a text message for online purchases ....however I think I shared this story before
2019, my hubby went online to pay the TV licence.. apparently it seems he was not on the official website and didn't know that. He was told to put all his card details and even bank details which he did
A week later someone called saying his from the bank that there is a £10,000 in his account accidentally paid that he should give him his pin code and stuff. There was something about the call that was dubious.The guy had heavy Indian accent and sounded so aggressive saying I need code ...he didn't first understand what the call was about ....but the guy was like u have to do this and that now...... The number was showing as HSBC My husband didn't give any pin or code. Cut the phone and called HSBC directly .
Turns out someone had used his account . Applied for a 10k loan( no clue how HSBC even allowed the loan to go through. So that first call from them FRAUDSTERS trying to pull the money out
HSBC stopped it all after my hubby spoke directly with them and the loan was returned as it disappeared from his account but Hsbc refused to tell us exactly what happened. How was someone able to take a loan in his name without his authorisation. Was it a staff of HSBC that was part of the scheme. We never know
But if you get a call from the bank asking for this and that. Best to cut that call and call the bank directly . Dont even call the number that called u. It might be a fradualent person claiming to be from the bank. My husband looks back and said there was something off about the TV licence site. They asked him more details than required but he wasn't paying attention at that time so he thinks that was when they grabbed all the info. the TV licence wasn't paid by the next week because it was a fake site . That another indication that the fraud came from there
FELOPH1: Hello House Pls I need your advice. I applied for Masters in UK (MSc Finance and Investment) using the M.Sc Economics which I got in Nigeria as part of the documents in uploaded for the admission. I have already gotten 5 offers from different schools. My worry now is that someone told me there might be some implications at the visa stage as I might be required to explain why am going for a second masters.
Does anyone has this kind of experience b4? Pls advise.

If u have LG or Samsung TV u can download an app called smart iptv on it and then find vendors that will load the channels for you. It ranges from £25-£60/year depending on the quality of channels and how well u can search for bargains
Interesting thing about most vendors is they give btw 12-24hrs free trial (but NOT on match days). Vendors are all over Facebook market place, eBay and even ali . Most vendors have telegram groups to communicate streaming channels, updates and to report issues. Each vendor have their own area of interest, some it’s movies, for some it’s live sports, while some do everything. My vendor does everything Infact they just added African magic Yoruba and almost all DSTV channels especially the sport ones.
Another option is the Amazon firestick, you can buy it from Argos or Amazon and watch a YouTube video to jailbreak it (very simple and straight forward) this will enable you download streaming apps on it. Then find a vendor to load channels. You might need VPN to improve streaming quality and to change location for obvious reasons
An advantage of the firestick is that u can detach from tv and take with u when u are going away from home . Otherwise the smart iptv app too is fine.
If you read back, lots of applicants have used naija bank statements applying from other foreign countries and I've personally done so as well.
Naomimary: Thank you so so much for your response. I attached an image of the instruction. I think appendix 5 means I would need to go home. Correct me if I'm wrong. I'm sorry but I just wanna be sure
The idea is any bank statement you submit must be regulated by that country and in this case, it's cbn.
Naomimary: Yes, there is! Please can you give me more insight on TLS? I read on the UKVI website that one can’t submit a bank statement that’s not regulated by the country I’m applying from.
It wouldn't be the case even if they apply together.
mimilyrics: Most often than not, reasons like this trigger a 10-year ban. Get your own visa 1st before he puts in for his so that it doesnt have a knock-on effect on your own application.
Yes declare. Approval depends on the refusal. If minor as long as you meet the requirements, he will be fine.
Dammyomo123: Hi all, my husband was refused entry from Heathrow Airport on a visit visa two years ago, we are about to apply for a student dependent visa for him and we plan on declaring the refused entry. What chances of approval does he have?
Affordable accommodation - Sunderland, Derby, Suffolk in this order for me .. . If campus is Ulster Belfast, I have no idea Jobs are usually available for students Transportation system is quite good which ever city you find urself
Bronzedigger: Hello gurus I've gotten offers for msc data science at Sunderland university £13350, university of Derby £14700, Suffolk £12950 and Ulster University £13350.... please which is best in terms of cheaper accommodation, jobs for students and transportation
Ideally the agency will say you need to pay off the remaining months but not sure what the consequences are. Forget about a IHS refund as it wouldn't be refunded.
captainhoo: Please I have some questions. I would appreciate anyone with a relevant response.
If an international student in year 1 out of a 2-year degree withdraws from school, will the IHS for the second year be refunded? And can he or she not pay the remaining balance of the year 1 tuition?
What are the consequences, if any, if a tenant, who signed a one year house contract, leaves the UK (permanently till further notice) before the end of the contract ( meaning no need to pay rent)
Is it the norm for airlines ticket fee not including 2 free checked-in luggage?
LOL true.. I didn't get a refund back then until almost after 2 years. At one point, I just left them for like 9 months and carried on with my hustle . If they owe, they will surely refund.
Mamatukwas: My understanding of the email is that they will consider your application and if you’re owed money you will be paid within 6weeks.
My advise is to write them back to clarify if you will be informed when a decision is made concerning your application. Because they can decide today and in 1 week you get your money.
Tbh the money is not something you should rush too much. Try and remove your mind from there. They will pay it don’t worry
I think the logic is send pounds at 770 (or whatever the rate is) then do a Form A @ CBN rate .. . This is up to you really
Preshyi: Hello all, I am trying to pay the balance of my fees. A banker suggested I send the pounds back to Nigeria and pay with the bank rate. I am still trying to understand that logic and how it will help me save money. Any thoughts please?
Please anyone in the know if an ongoing UK’s 10years travel ban of a dependant could still lead to the dependant’s visa refusal even though the main applicant has got a study visa ?
