TravelRe: UK Spouse Visa/Appeal Process-part2 by checkmateman: 4:50pm On Apr 09, 2022
BellM:
Hello y'all,
I got married in December, before then my spouse had already started his visa application (student visa) so he registered as unmarried. He left about 5 days after we wed, now he wants me to join him in UK.. How would this work please? I'd really appreciate any suggestion right now.
Since he is on student visa, you can apply for dependent visa, support it with all possible documents,

[Tell your friend] the YouTuber is talking rubbish, as many of them tend to do.
The previous response you got is correct - your dependants must simply enter the UK any time before your student visa expires, not within six months of that time.

No such thing as a six-month rule regarding application - the only place where the rules state that a six month time limit comes into play is that where your student visa has less than 6 months to run, your dependants will not pay the IHS. However, that means that they might be charged for any hospital treatment.
This is the same question I was trying to ask in time past, heard people say that your dependent am only apply for visa 6 month before the expiration of the main applicant else no visa for dependent.

I am still looking for an official web link to this which I have not see

Estroller:
You simply allow the 1 Year anniversary of your LISA account to fall into the following tax year, remember tax year is 6th April - 5th April of the following year, you then deposit the maximum £4k in each of the the tax year.

For example if I'm to open one today 8/01/22, my 1 Year anniversary will be 8/01/23. I will deposit the max £4k before 5th April 2022 covering the current tax year and deposit another £4k in the new tax year starting 6th April 2022 but before the anniversary of my account which is 8/01/23. You both do this, and you will get the £4k I referenced in my earlier post.
I am following the thread and has been informative, I want to ask if a Student can start this LISA of a thing, i know there are risk involved especially when the visa is not fully clear but can the student start regardless of that though Student are not allowed to take any government benefits

Hello,

A current student in the UK BRP expiring by Jan 2023, I plan on doing a court marriage by late April and then apply for dependent visa for my wife, but I have these questions.

1) Can she apply without changing her surname since passport carries her old surname and also renewal might take longer
2) what are the likely documents apart from marriage certificate and pictures?
3) I have heard that you can only bring in dependant 6 month before expiration of your visa, is this true or can anyone provide the official web link?

Any other advice is appreciated

Car TalkRe: Symptoms Of Water In A Car's Petrol Tank And Ways To Fix It by checkmateman: 10:32am On Jun 13, 2017

Below are ways in which water can enter a car's petrol tank,its symptoms,effects,and ways to fix it.

Causes:
● The chances of water entering the gas tank increases if the tank has a bad top fuel pump.
● Condensation of atmospheric moisture leads to accumulation of water vapor into the petrol tank.
● Another cause can be the poorly sealed cap on top of the tank.Therefore,rains or a regular car wash can prove to be a big disaster to the tank.
● It can also happen when ground water seeps into the storage tank at the filling station,thereby making the fuel pump to circulate water all across the fuel lines and the fuel injectors.

Symptoms and Effects
Hydrolock
An hydrolocked engine has water inside the combustion chamber that prevents combustion and compression.The engine will be unable to start and possible unable to crank.
Engine Stalls
The engine may be able to start and maintain itself for a while.However, the combustion will be weaker than normal and may lead to stalling.
Engine Will Not Start
.The engine may turn over while the ignition is engaged,but the lack of the proper amount of fuel will prevent normal operation.
Poor Fuel Economy
The water will reduce engine power,but allow the same amount of fuel to be burned.The result being the same fuel burned for reduced mileage.
● As petrol is lighter than water,when water enters the tank,it settles at the bottom of the tank.Eventually,the tank begins to rust.
● The watered-down fuel in a car can make it sputter and behave as if it has lost power.
● Water in a gas tank can lead to bio-degradation of the fuel.
● It can also cause microbial growth in the fuel,which will damage the entire fuel system and induce filter plugging.
● Certain other likely effects of this problem are holes in the fuel tank and failure of the fuel injector.

How to Get Rid of Water from the Gas Tank
● The best way to remove water from the tank is to change the entire contaminated petrol in it. Replace it with a high quality,non-ethanol blend petrol.Fuels containing ethanol have a short shelf life.They start absorbing excess water within a few weeks.They draw about 50 times more water than any non-alcohol petrol.
● If there is petrol left in the tank, then you can fill it up with high levels of octane petrol,and rapidly exhaust the petrol tank.This will leave the tank dry and exhaust all the moisture.
● There are products that contain special fuel additives and methanol,which help in removal of water from the tank.But remember,fuel additives will not work if the quantity of water in the tank is more.
● If you are unsure whether you have to drain the entire petrol out of the tank, or just add a fuel additive, it is always best to seek expert advice, consult a mechanic.Taking your car to a mechanic is definitely effective and will solve the confusion.
● If the water level is very high, you not only have to drain all the existing petrol, but also put in new filters.

Sorry, I can't be of help, but you should know that you don't need to pay any money to learn to be a professional graphics designer, you can download books on graphics design and read but if you feel you can't get it through that, then check out various tutorial center, there is one I know then that the name starts with A...

But I believe that you can learn anything by just reading books, that how I was able to learn my web design skills even I know how to code in java but left it for web development and also its from books I learn some basic adobe photoshop skills. So I will say pick a book and read

Sorry if I may have misled you in the first place, but note that you will need php or any other server side scripting language you are using to process the file upload. You can check w3schools.com for reference

You are going to use the form element 'file' but make sure you assign a default image to user's profile because if image fail to upload, you don't want to stop them from registering as it will piss them off
