Thanks I will get someone from naija to get the OTP for me

wonlasewonimi:
Thanks bro.

However, I don't have Nigerian number. I tried to use the nimc app and realised my UK number the dumbos used during my Nin registration have the country code 234, so I couldn't get the OTP. We are back to square one

wonlasewonimi:
My people is it true that I still have to activate my NIN to be able to use it if I did the enrollment in UK? I want to renew my passport and I have been told that the new UK NIN I have still needs to be activated.

I just hope she's not facing some job related challenges

Even this thread is now deserted, I know how congested it was all through last year when when I was processing my own travel.

I remember seeing a post by Lexusgs430 warning about scams on the marketplace when buying a used car. I had an experience where a private seller listed a vehicle for sale on Autotrader, claiming no damage (non-Cat S/C/D/N) or stolen history. However, the CARVERTICAL report showed that the car had an active lease. When I contacted the finance company, SANTANDER CONSUMER FINANCE, they advised me against buying the vehicle. I want to warn new migrants to be cautious of such scams. I had to lower my preferences and buy from Arnold Clark since I needed a car urgently for work.

It works that way, this is not a busisiness transaction and [b]he did not pay this individual in £, he paid in naira and will get a refund in naira

Hello, good day all. Someone based in Uk paid school fees (3500pounds) for my family member last year. He paid with the exact exchange rate as at then, (Black market). He charged us for the services and we paid expensively for it. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it to UK due to the school inability to issue him CAS because it was late already. Now we are talking about collecting the school fees back, we were advised to open a domiciliary account and ask the guy to send it in pounds. He refused and said he will only send the amount we paid to him in naira, we didn't pay him in pounds. Please what do you guys think?

Adding building and content insurance to your car insurance reduces the premium very well.

SavageResponse:
So after spending time in the UK you still write this type of tautological grammar

The proper word is Lend, when you're giving out you're Lending hence the proper grammar should be " Lent them almost 10K..."

SamAfrik:
I like the 'we need the numbers' part. Every legal means of making the numbers effective should be utilized. UK is a powerful country and we need to have more Africans contributing to its greatness. I admire the Asians that appears to be predominant in almost everywhere you turn, and they are doing this 'codedly'. I will be proud to see more Kemi Badenoch in exalted positions in both public and private sectors.

ToshoTosin:
Hello everyone,
I have a question, my bro and his wife have been with us since they came in September.
I found out they already registered to vote on our address without asking or informing us. They don't pay council tax or rent
I cannot find a way to remove them, will this be an issue for us? Since it's just two people we said are living in the house?.

Thank you.

Oyi12:
Thank you so much. I haven't heard from them yet, I don't know if a decision has not been made.

Schoolhike:
Does anyone know of there is any gov regulations or policy in switching visa.

Most employer do says they normally sponsor 3 months to the expiration of visa.

all effort to find this information on gov.uk prove futile.

Solumtoya:
Previous leave is still valid till tomorrow, I think

Lexusgs430:
You offered a Spanish lecture + answered the question........😁😜

Solumtoya:
I have someone in this same situation. She applied for Graduate visa on Monday, and got COS the next day. So she's applying for Tier-2 now. All she has to do after applying for Tier-2 is to cancel her Graduate visa application, right?

babranancy:
Hi everyone, please I have a question. I want to go on a vacation to spain for 4 days , do I need visa? Despite having a BRP card? Thank you

joe10:
Thank you for your input. Please, do you know any student-dependant who switched and got visa approval?

joe10:
Good day mates,

Please, a friend on student dependant visa has been assured of COS during interview with NHS. However, she has some fears whether she can;

1. Switch to work visa as her husband is due to graduate in September 2024. Some people say it is not possible for her to switch unless the main applicant has finished his M.Sc. Please, after the new immigration law was passed in May 2023 which forbids students from switching while studying. Has anyone holding student dependant visa in the same situation successfully switched or knows someone who has successfully switched?


PLEASE ADVICE IS NEEDED

Yes it's quite an old post.


How long does Nala takes to send money to a Nigerian bank account.

They have good rates. Are they genuine ?

Sonfethopia:
Hi Bourne007 please I saw a post of urs where you said you use small world. I tried to use it to send money to Nigeria and it's not delivered since Friday.


Do u have an idea how long the process takes.


It's direct to a first bank account

Lol @ Storm Daniel.

On the address change, it might still take us about 3 weeks before we move to the new house, if we decide to start changing the week we are moving in, Is there any issue for concern?

giselle237:
Call up airlines. Book the unaccompanied minor tickets. British airways offers it I remember.
Someone only needs to drop them off at the airport. The airline will look after them till they get to UK and are picked up on the other end by you or your wife.

specialenvoy:
Can anyone please recommend a snagger around the Yorkshire region? When is the best time to get Snagger to visit the house?

Also, I need clarifications on these two:

1. If we get the keys and we are yet to move into the house, at what point are we going to start changing our address? When we move in or when we get the keys?

2. When can we contact the Council for Bins?

ReesheesuKnack:
It is easier for a 🐫 camel to pass through the anus of a lizard 🦎 than it will be, for a PSW visa applicant to get a waiver for their dependants.

Note: the ‘waiver’ is Public funds.

ReesheesuKnack:
You see, my brother. Context is EVERYTHING.
OP was clear about their particular case. Saying there are exceptions in some cases may be a truism, but you failed to situate this within the context of OP’s initial question.

While I haven’t checked yet, I can bet my bottom $ that the exceptions you refer to will not cover PSW visa applicants.

farnet:
Please people, has any of the below happened, and what are the implications?

Parents applied for Graduate visa and couldn't do so for the kids, all less than 6years old, because of fund.

Particular questions
1. Is there anyway it affects or will affect the parents visa?
2. In what specific ways does it affect the children?
3. What if the family doesn't have long term plan living here. Looking at moving elsewhere in near future. Does it matter or wouldn't it be a waste of scarce money ( let's say that have it) applying for children that won't be needing a brp for anything or right to work?

BouharryArtikou:
Are you sure they will be exempted? Even for kids that were not Born in the UK?
Even for kids that were born in Nigeria and only brought in as Tier-4 dependants??
