Can't agree more! Probably the nicest thing you've ever said to me

Zoey1:
Dem hustle pass you

Can't say until the full guidance is available (I've not seen or read it yet if available)

noblealuu:
So in simple terms, Master and PhD levels Int'l students can school part time and work full time?

News to me

IHS access includes visit to a doctor’s surgery, healthcare centre or hospital

firstLadyy:
Someone told me she was billed 5k pounds doh she delivered with cs even as a student

UKVI self dey hustle na ... All na make kishi enter account

noblealuu:
This is a good development. That part time deal will make alot of sense.

Yes it does

firstLadyy:
Pls who knows if our IHS fees covers maternity and delivery as a student in the uk? @justwise mimilyrics

Possibly .. can't say

If you get denied again, just wait for you BRP and try again. If you are student and need an account urgently, get a letter from your uni to open an account from one of the old fashioned (traditional) banks

Symbae:
I used my Nigerian passport as the ID. If I try starling, wont I get the same response?

Which ID? Naija passport or Brp?

Try starling bank. It's similar

Hello gurus in the house,

I just moved to the UK and still isolating yet to move to my accomodation, I tried opening an account with monzo using the app but unfortunately after verification of my ID, I got the attached picture. What could be the reason and possible solution to this because I just moved here. Please help@mimilyrics, justwise or anybody that can help

This new visa is a big change compared to the tier 4 visa. Part timers can apply, dependants can switch in-country, no proof of financial requirements after 12 months etc.

@justwise.. Looks like a new thread needs to be created.

PtBlank:
Its official, student visa replaces Tier 4. Thankfully, IHS is still £300/year and maintenance is still £1015/£1265. I hope both fees remain so.

I've never been to that part of the south coast mate. Sorry

Anyone living in Bournemouth?
@Bourne007?

In fairness, it wasn't long (apart from the days PDF file wasn't received so had to compress). Might be different with the current situation

justwise:
Well regarding NRN i have not updated that account with my UK details, so basically its not NRN account, so it may be a long process.

Thanks for the head-up anyway.

Fill the PDF link below and send to the email address on the form. There's the option to select Token and Mastercard. Once complete and processed, courier cost deducted from your account.

If your account isn't NRN, you might need to feel another form (account update). If I recall, I also did a video call to verify my identity. They are usually quite quick I just only had to chase cos them no receive my form. When I sent to the nrn email, I had to compress file like 5 times cos they no receive the original lol.

justwise:
Interesting..do you know the process of requesting for it?

GTB can DHL token and a new card to you if you request for it .. .

justwise:
I have being using pin for yrs to pay with no problem but after i changed my phone and tried to use the app i was asked to create a token or pin..as if that was not bad enough..my card has expired and i can't use it as part of set-up process.

You are exempted If you have lived for at least 6 months in a country where TB screening is not required by the UK, and you’ve been away from that country for no more than 6 months.

Ayotunde71:
Hello house, is Tuberculosis test result a mandatory requirement for spouse visa application from Nigeria?

I would be applying from Germany, do I need it too?

Tier 2 Dependants are able to work without restrictions

Ace2013:
Hello people, one quick question please. Can someone a tier 2 dependent Visa start a small business in UK ( agribusiness ) instead of working for any employer and possibly eligible for start up loan?

Nothing to worry about. They may or may not call. If I recall, there was an applicant on the last thread in the same situation and got his visa. They will definitely call if you application isn't straightforward.

All the best

missjones1:
Pls my wonderful people,pls help ooh ..I went for uk tier 4 interview yesterday,around 4:30pm we (8 students ) were told to go that the interviewer said he’s done for the day and we shouldn’t bother coming next day for interview...that they may or may not call for phone interview..they said is 50/50....pls am really confused here ,has anyone experienced this?i really need answers to put my hrt at peace

It's not a must to have a degree before a company can sponsor you on a tier 2 visa with a valid certificate of sponsorship.

You just need to write an test to proof your knowledge of English.

Olalekank:
I’d like to ask if someone without a degree (or yet to graduate) can be awarded a tier 2 visa.

For example: a job where you do not need to have a degree (say like a Software Engineer job).

Couldn’t really find anything comprehensive after searching Google

Has the person gotten admission?

As it 'currently' stands due to the pandemic, one can switch from Tier 4 dependant to another visa (usually this is not the case)

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-for-uk-visa-applicants-and-temporary-uk-residents

STENON:
Goodmorning to everyone. Please what is the right option to choose for a tier 4 dependant that want to switch to Tier 4 General student visa within the UK.

Is it switch or Extend ?
Thanks

I've always used only church certificate but there's no harm uploading both.

Messyodi:
Good morning house.

Which marriage certificate is more ideal to upload for your supporting documents. A marriage cert from an Anglican church or a local government registery? Or should i just upload both?

@Ibime any updates?

Dependants don't get interviewed

mdeeokoye:
Hi Guys..Are Dependants going to be interviewed? if they are what type of Questions is to be expected?

Fill in https://www.gov.uk/register-to-vote and your borough will contact you.

assumpta1:
I’m not even on electoral list. How do I go about this?

I'm afraid 'sister' doesn't qualify as ones dependant.


"To qualify as a dependent you must be the spouse, unmarried, or civil partner of the sponsor. Children under the age of 18 years can also accompany the sponsor to the UK as the sponsor's dependents."

Miztea:
Hi all.
Please I need some advice. I am on a tier 2 visa at the moment which will get me 2022 and thereafter will be extended until I get my ILR.

i would like to file for my younger sister who is 15yrs at the moment to be my dependant before she turns 18yrs. The idea is that she gets to be my dependant so that when I get my settlement settlement status she can also get the same as well and she can start her uni education/career as soon as she is done with secondary school.

I am single and I'm 26 and the first child of my mum. And I would love to achieve this aim before getting married.

My question is, is this possible and if yes, how do I approach this.

Your contributions will be much appreciated.

Ha okay .. .. application form must have been revised since I last filled one in 2016 lol

Probably he should request his personal information held by UKVI so he addresses it accordingly as well.

mimilyrics:
True but the 10 years part is true for previous travel and visas to the UK in the last 10 years.

For the problems with immigration to the UK and problems with immigration to other countries than the UK sections, the question is "have you even been refused a uk visa / any other visa, deported from the UK / any country, removed from the UK / any country, required to leave the UK / any country, refused entry at the UK border / any other country" (no time frame is specified).

He will also have to detail it on his cover letter because in talking about the old passport with the wrong date of birth, he'll have to explain the background of the issue. If he had never applied for a visa before, it wouldn't even be an issue.

Will update errors once my eyes are clear of sleep biko.

@Fame2me79 said he was denied in 2005. On the application form, he only needs to state refusals in the last 10 years. Still needs affidavit as there will be records if ECO needs to check.

mimilyrics:
I would suggest that you address this in your application so that it doesn't come back to bite you in the a**. Get the necessary legal documents (I.e. affidavit) to affirm that there was indeed an error on your previous passport and that your original date of birth is the one you have on the new passport.
If you don't address this and you're found out (since you also have to declare past refusals), it will connote a case of deliberate misrepresentation.

Only the latter... Payment only by card

mamacajah:
Hello guys, so I need some clarification..all in the line of planning.. for payment of Visa and IHS fees, can one do Naira bank transfer or is payment only by card? Thanks for your response

PCR ọ, Antigen ọ, swab test o.... They are all the same baba

Ace2013:
Major concern is if the NHS covid 19 test is the same as required by the airlines which is PCR covid 19 test. Do you know anyone who has used the evac flight pls ? http://www.nigeriahc.org.uk/uploads/news/NewGuidelinesArrival.pdf .

Website doesn't specify if resident or not. Her result came by email and text so printed via email.

I know loads of people (return flight whatsapp group) who used the service (walk in or drive through) with no issues whatsoever.

Ace2013:
Hello, i am not sure if this is for people on visit visa. I think its only for residents. I didn't want to take any risk to avoid any comeback for using NHS service. I called the NHS and they said the result is by text only. The airline ( Airpeace) needs a test result and i believe they need an actual paper result not text message. That was why i had to pay for this to avoid missing the flight ( that would mean 400,000 naira gone). Do you have any one that used the evac flight with that free COvid 19 text message result from NHS?

Can you imagine

Me that I was systematically delaying my MIL's return lol thinking this can't happen

LagosismyHome:
Looks like they want to force people to leave... receive this email rejecting extension ...but Nigeria airport is still closed Or maybe it's a generic email and I need to call

https://self-referral.test-for-coronavirus.service.gov.uk/antigen/name

I used the link above to book a free test and got results within 24 hours. There's the walk in and drive through option.

Ace2013:
Yes, I have just requested for covid 19 test home kit for £150 which includes dr's signature. I checked if NHS can do for free but they said that cannot be used for travel. So i had to make a request from a private clinic https://www.citydoc.org.uk/covid-19-fit-to-fly/. If you decide to go this evac route be prepared to spend at least £1K which includes the flight of course. Sadly, this is how Nigeria keeps failing its citizens. No one knows when the airspace would be opened and not after Airpeace has secured evac contract. God dey

What's the question?

You can as well post here https://www.nairaland.com/4158866/living-uk-life-uk-immigrant

Fynebouy:
Hi all, happy Ileya to all our muslim friends here.

Please is there a thread for those who are going to be applying for the Indefinite Leave to Remain soon. I have a friend who needs information, support etc but I have not been able to find any such thread on NL.

I will be grateful if I am directed to the right thread.

Thanks

That was the first batch.

What they are doing now is evacuees must quarantine in Lagos or Abuja only for 14 days. So those not resident book hotels at their own cost and those fortunate to have relatives stay with them.

famzynet:
Too expensive. And one still has to pay for quarantine in Nigeria,right? I learnt quarantine fee is up to 290k.
