Please someone should help with this....... I like to ask if ones husband has been to the UK for studies 13years ago, from 2008-2010. Do I need to submit a scanned copy of his visa page on his old passport as part of the documents to submit for dependant visa application? Thanks

🤣😂🤣

Oggg:
dnt even do as if you caused anything.. report it as a fault… you woke up and smelt a burning smell of the washing machine wire bla bla bla.. and now it’s not powering anymore… do assist
They most times have insurance coverage over all these items and the insurance pays for it.

Forgot to add .. . If you go directly to their website, it will give you about £20. You will have to use compare the market sites to get the £5 for PO.

M6ix:
Wow that's way cheaper than I expected. Post office it is.
Thank you.

I was looking at the GHIC option yesterday as well. There requirement is to use a 'Medical travel insurance' which you can get as low as £3 anyway. I got post office for about £5

M6ix:
Good morning
Please how do I go about travel insurance for Schenghen visa? I intend visiting family in Sweden. I saw post office and also saw something about GHIC I'm a little confused.

Completely false. Not part of the guidelines since ever!

Viruses:
Are you 💯% sure about thise. There are people that have changed sponsored jobs without their employers knowing. Example is that guy that had issue with driving a car that resulted in maltreatment. According to him, when he resigned, the employer didn't know what next for him.

I doubt if there's such law.

Anyone can switch visa to any category at any point. UKVI only expects you to have worked out your notice period.

jum33:
I dont think there is any alternative o when it come to taking another empoyment as a sponsored skilled worker as his current employer has a big role to play in the process of changing sponsored jobs .
By law he can't bypass his current employer to take another sponsored employement somewhere else as the UKVI cannot even grant him a new COS if his current employer doesnt cancel the current one .Since he still has a binding contract on his neck , he just have to find a way of settling his contact with his current employer so that he can be gracefully released without any issue.

Zaddy wàá... What's going on here 😃

Be careful, what you seek ....... Maybe if you considered married men...... The request could have been minimal.........😂🤣

Long story short
Naso dem say its better to convert from tier4 to 2
We did the needful as usual via care support work and of course not free.

Started work in December, was given sponsorship in Jan after a month, applied in Feb ending and got our brp.

Brethren I discovered oga Don score goal, we didn't plan for it, from calculations na that time way it snowed heavily and and and and...

We are 5weeks preg, informed MD my fellow naija but instead got threatened that sponsorship will be withdrawn because we concealed the preg to collect COS.
We should have halt the COS processing.
Is this how it works here?

I still do not understand, I should have aborted? coz of work? Or the law restricts me from taking in. He said, he will speak to his lawyer and that he doesn't want to involve the home office (home office sabi I am married nah, dem get our data) that do we know what it means if he involves them?
That we should seat to discuss and negotiate way forward. (I don't know what he wants to propose)
I even accepted to forfeit maternity pay (though he no dey pay self) and the rest of it infact I am still willing, eager and strong enough to continue working until about 8th month or even more...he now wants to cancel my shifts... this Ukay way bills yakpa...

Great elders abeg make una choke mouth for the matter, what una advise make I do also I hearsay gomenti dey give palliatives for preg women for some months...how do I go about it or is it one of the public fund? I no wan hear pim when it's time for ILR

Una thank you in advance

If I'm not mistaken, he was referring to passport collection at the NHC.

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
Woo...I done too explain.

Start from page 1 of this thread 🙂

stanliwise:
I just found this thread. ladies and gentle men to start visa application. abeg where do I start from.
I will read the thread but if anyone fit give guyman a headstart e no go bad.

Right now I am just a fresh starter. what do I need to start from.

Na so we thought ẹẹ go drop but kept rising na 😁

Based on history, could take few more years before ee reach 2.5% na.

All na gamble. Just curious what others are getting as interest rate. You be ancient father na fixed for 20 years 😋😛

Lexusgs430:
And if you get a fixed mortgage, then rates drops to 2.5%.......

A gamble you call it ....... You gamble your own, make we gamble our own ........😜😂

For those who recently took or in the process of a mortgage / remortgaging and with the likely increase of bank rate to 4.50 in May, what interest rates did you get / are getting? Shei na to gamble on two / five years or even tracker 😁?

The law is the law and they are simple and clear to all regardless of nationality. You can't breach the law and be running hectare scatter!

Ladasit:
See my friend keep quiet if you don't know what you are saying, if you have it easy in life most people don't.

The Chinese, Koreans and Co. get loans from their government to come and study. In this UK financial crisis how do you want to cope if you are handling your accommodation, transport and other fees if you are doing just 20 hours, especially if you are staying in London or Manchester.

We as Nigerians, we are hardworking and if the job is there we will do it and make our money to survive.

The funny thing is that most employers are not even happy with this 20 hours rule, because they are looking for workers but they are limited because of this 20 hours rule.

I met a British man one time that was complaining about how most of their citizens don't want to come out to work anymore, they'd rather work from home instead. He said in his city, shops and the mall closes by 4pm because they don't have people to employ for evening shifts and what he appreciate about Nigerians is that they are always willing to work.

If you had watched UK border force, anyone can breach the Immigration rules regardless of nationality 👀

Zahra29:
Yeh I'm sure the Indians do it too however their immigrant community also largely does not have a great image. You don't hear of Australian, American or even Chinese students breaking rules in the same way

LOL @ try his luck. What other options does he have if he wants remain in the country 🙄?

By adding a cover letter, he is basically adding more salt to his wounds. The breach happened on a student visa so doesn’t matter if na care or psw.

Just apply as normal and hope it's undetected.

Strata1716:
Good morning everyone,

please my friend unfortunately had to work more than 20 hours because the bills were too much and he’s also the first child of the family so he had to pay siblings school fees and take care of his family back home in Nigeria.

He only started Working 34 hours after lectures was over and they were writing dissertation as he had exhausted every savings so needed money badly, It’s time for psw but he’s scared of doing the Visa because he doesn’t want to be caught and deported.

I’ve told him to try his luck and see what happens but he’s saying he doesn’t want to risk it, please is there any way for him to explain to the VO maybe in a cover letter or something else why he had to work those hours,

is it a bit better that he started working past 20 hours after lectures but during dissertation writing, can he also get a care sponsorship job as it is 2 months before the expiration of his visa and he’s been trying for weeks to get a care job but no luck.

Please don’t ignore as all advise are welcomed and my friend is very depressed now, we are trying to help but scared he might unalive himself because the financial pressure of going back to Nigeria might be too much.

Since you are voluntarily leaving the country at your own expense, based on the guidance this will (ideally) impose a 12-month re-entry ban. 'Ideally' in the sense that if you have breached more than one immigration law, the breach that has the longest period (up to 10 years) will be imposed. Once you leave, your chances are higher when you apply for a spouse visa on the 13th month (if a 12-month ban).

During your application, you need to emphasise this clearly that under paragraph 9.8.7 of the Immigration rules part 9, you left voluntarily at your own expense. Some of the agents don't understand the rules and can do whatever.

https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-part-9-grounds-for-refusal

If you apply in-country, dem go frustrate you die so tey most of your funds will go through appeals / re-applications. If you apply out-country during the ban (with or without a solicitor), the chances are slim (can go either way). If ban is longer than 12 months, you will have to go through the appeal process to eventually be successful.

If you want, you can request personal information they currently hold about you
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/requests-for-personal-data-uk-visas-and-immigration/request-personal-information-held-by-uk-visas-and-immigration#how-to-make-a-request

All the best.

Stanley123147:
Dear Sir/Madam,

I am currently residing in the United Kingdom, having overstayed my visa by a period of two years. However, I am now looking to return to Nigeria with my wife, who is a British citizen, for the purpose of getting married. I am seeking guidance on how best to approach the issue of my overstay and how to present a compelling case for the granting of a visa.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Most definitely! You can switch categories as you like

eniola1010:
Abeg if person get sponsorship for care work. Shey that person fit get sponsorship for another work for another industry and dump the care work?

It doesn't start afresh

DoDirtsLikeWorm:
I believe it is possible, but COS as I heard is like Boi-Boi, if you change sponsor(master), your ILR clock starts afresh.
What do I know, gray hairs will torchlight it for you.

Awesome movie! 🎥 👍🏾👍🏾I got hooked myself too

I was hooked from start to finish.

Eeya pẹ̀lẹ́. It's been a golden rule since donkey years appointment no dey work for NHC 😀

Evagreenfields:
My appointment time was for 11 am today (04.04 23).

The above is correct as at today Apr 4, 2023.

I would expect your contract to supersede whatever this letting agency is saying.

I will start by writing them back stating that you have looked up the government website and it's clearly states that a Section 21 notice to evict a tenant is after a fixed term tenancy ends. And as you have a contract in place, by law there's no point waiting till mid May. You can say you are currently getting legal advice and would leave you no choice but to take legal action if however they insists further you cover bills for the month of May.

https://www.gov.uk/evicting-tenants/section-21-and-section-8-notices

This is how I will go about it. Hopefully more experienced peeps in the house will weigh in

wanney:
Experienced hands in the house, please I need your help with a section 21 notice.

Our one year tenancy agreement is due to end mid April. On the 9th of March, we were served with section 21 notice (2months) that the landlord wants to sell…..

We’ve secured another place and rent is starting mid April but the letting agency insists we’ve to pay the bills and rent for the current place till end of section 21 notice which is mid May.

The letting agency is insisting we’ve to pay the bills and rent till end of 21 notice period before moving out. But since we’re out of contract by mid April, I’m not sure where the legal obligation lies.


Pls advise us on what to do, as we can’t pay rents for two places

You definitely need to fill in the details as required whether you are the one driving or not.

You should have National Speed Awareness course as an alternative to prosecution. If you do, I will advise you go for this otherwise your car insurance go jump if given points.

Meogom:
Good day my correct people, I just got a notice of intended prosecution for exceeding speed limit (drove 35mph in a 30mph zone). Abeg how do i go about it and what are the consequences. Thanks all

🤐 It wasn't the intention o 😶‍🌫️😶‍🌫️

Phenmeson:
Bro u just burst d speaker.

CoS is just like CAS. Do you know how many applicants wey go miss out if it actually takes 18 weeks 😁?

I've gotten CoS within a day or 2. The company even applied for licence ọ and got rejected 2ce so I suspect JJC dey worry them 🙂

Solumtoya:
People that say Sponsorship is a 45-min process.

If your student visa gets refused, a refund will be processed.

Do you still wanna hear more? 🤔

Fraih:
I hear this refund often. Could you Pls educate me what it means? Like get IHS fees and visa fees refunded to which account?
Thank you

You should be moderator of this thread by now na 🙂😉

Fraih:
Hi guys!

Pls anyone applying for Sheffield Hallam Uni for Sept entry? I read somewhere that the deposit is now 3k, struggling to get the exact link on their site.

1) Correct me if I misunderstood your question but how else do you want to get a work visa without paying. If you happen to be on a Tier 2, you might be fortunate the employer covers all the cost

2) You will get a total of = duration of your course + 4 months. You can step in and out as you wish. Nobody def wants to be illegal. They extend or switch before expiration. https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration

afrobaby:
Hello good people of the house. So after several considerations, I have decided to go with MMU. Still trying to get GTbank to process my Form A for school deposit.
I have 2 questions bothering my mind though

1) After my masters degree, Is there any other fee/fees that I am supposed to pay to get a work visa?
2) For the masters degree, how many years visa do we get? Can we stay in the UK throughout the duration of the visa without stepping out? How do we extend the visa after/before the expiration of the visa. We don't want to stay illegally in the UK at all.

Thank you

TB cert just needs to be valid for the application process. She doesn't need to get a new one

semmyk:
As long as she doesn't get referred to the PMI port medical inspector.
(Personal view) if her former TB certificate was issue (without sputum test, that is no abnormalities), she should just get a new one. She need not booked I guess.

At the time, yes but never proceeded with the application.
