Thanks for your reply.

Pls on the application they asked for landlord details, name, address and phone number and when I moved to this city it was my relatives who helped secured and rented the place my name was not on the contract. I don’t know who else has similar issues and I don’t know if that’s gonna be an issue.

Choose the option that says others. In the box put live with relative. That way, you will not need to provide landlord information

Omerobaba:


Please is it advisable to change the £1270 from my Naira account into pounds and have that in cash?

Do you have your visa already? If yes, you can do that.

Ceejay2:
Hello seniors and gurus in the house. Happy Sunday. Please anyone already switched skill worker employer before? did you inform your current employer before the visa update application or it was after the visa was out?? Please I need your advice on this please.

Thank you for your advice.

You don’t need to inform current sponsor till after you have switch your visa.

My POE experience at Heathrow on Sunday.

Immigration: Good afternoon

Me: how are you doing?

Immigration: good and you?

Me: I'm okay.

Immigration: your passport please?

Me: have it

Werey.
Immigration: you have a skilled visa, can I have your cos and offer letter ( I printed it out)
I gave her a copy.

She checked on her system and typing some stuff

Immigration: do you know what you are here for

Me: Yes of course

Immigration: can you explain your daily routine.
Which I did.

Immigration: can you tell me where you are going to work.
Me: gave here the address.

Immigration: How many hours are you going to work every week

I forgot the hour on my CoS
Me: 36hours a week against 40hours.

Immigration: How much will the pay you and how

Me: xx.xx per hour, I will receive payment monthly

Immigration: Are you married?
Werey

Me: Yes of course.

Immigration: What's your plan for your family

Me: When I am fully settled down probably in the next few months they will join me.

Immigration: Where are going to stay.

Me: I gave her another paper with the address of my accommodation.

Werey step out of her cubicle and meet the black guy by her side gave her the paper whisper something, then the guy came to me.

Black immigration guy: Why are you just coming to UK in November when your start date is October.

Me: My application approval was delayed, I got my visa 3rd of November.

Black immigration guy: when did you do your biometric

Me: 15th September

Black immigration guy: how long will stay at this accommodation and how much are you paying them

Me: We have no agreement in that regard.

Black immigration guy: how much do you have with you because where you are going is very far from here.

Werey, it was written in the document he holds that a staff will be on ground to pick me.

Me: I don't have any money with me because the employer already sent someone to pick me up.

Black immigration guy to the Immigration white lady, is fine, I think that's okay.

Werey. Now said please, have your document. Got it stamped and said welcome to London.

Na so I vex, I no answer her.

Did your employer tick maintenance? If not, you were lucky with the werey 😂

Georgiedey:
Thanks for the response we got a new birth certificate that's same as the one on the passport

Good. You are welcome.

Georgiedey:
Dear Fam
I need your assistance on what to do on name wrongly spelt on my dependants passport while birth certificate carries the original spellings. Its khole on passport instead of khloe whch is the right spelling and what she has on her birth certicate.
I already paid for appointment before noticing this error. In such a case what do I do?

I am afraid, you may have to cancel/withdraw the visa application and look for a way to resolve that issue with either immigration or Nigeria Population commission for the correction of name on birth certificate to match with the name on passport. If I am in your situation, I will purse birth certificate correction because that is faster but if you have the patience, resources and contact. You can correct it on Passport.

Omerobaba:


Thank you so much for this feedback, I sincerely appreciate. When you say, “have the print out handy with every other document as you land in the Uk”, can you be specific as to the printouts you mean, as well as the documents. Thank you in advance

Passport, Your offer letter, POF, original tb certificate. Know your sponsor name, the type of job and the area you will be staying off hand.

Omerobaba:


Abeg make Una help me answer na

It’s not same for everyone. It depends on the border officer. I will advise you not to touch the pof account till you pass the border officer at the airport in the Uk. Also, have the print out handy with every other document as you land in the Uk.

Goodly1:

Please explain the off license shop part, where can one find it? Thanks.

These are shop where they paste rent on wall/show glass. There is one in woolwich and Elephant and castle.. I am sure there should one in peckham. Note, I am talking about London only.

rhodman:
Hi.

Who knows how I can get a shared apartment in London?
I'm moving in January

Check spareroom, rightmove, zoopla or go to off license shop to check list.

advanceDNA:


What number are we talking about??

I sent you an email

advanceDNA:


Met in person: pictures, proof of living together like tenant agreement with both your names....

Relationship genuine: marriage certificate, WhatsApp chat, pictures of parties, if u have kids .picture of u and ur kids, banks testament showing transfer,

Did you get my reply with my number?

advanceDNA:


Your employer has fvcked up ..You are not new entrant and he selected Yes for new entrant......that's why ECO is asking you to prove paragraph 2 & 3 .....because care work sponsors don't have licence to bring in a new entrant candidate because their job code is different....

Tell ur employer new entrant does not mean someone that wants to enter UK for first time....it means the applicant must be under the age of 26 on the date of application and
the job codes are 2111, 2112, 2113, 2114, 2119 2311 ...


Still the ECO is on Columbian cocaine....the explanation is very poor because it's clear your sponsor made a mistake

Most of the ECO are on codein diet now.

fabulous2019:

Exactly, but since the new police clearance is online and stress free no harm doing it
Thanks

I can't do it online since I am in UK.

Tier4Dependant:


Exactly. When NHS asked for naija police clearance, I simple gave them the one that I did in 2021 when I newly arrived UK and the HR accepted it. The DBS carries more weight I believe.

It doesn't work for everything. I did this after arguing my case with prison vetting team. My vetting was rejected after 90 days.I have to start all over again now.

advanceDNA:



Yes naaaa..... It's even better because nothing like exchange rate fluctuation if you use UK bank statement....

Btw ...ive been seeing some pple submit consent letter when their spouse wants to use owner's bank statement .....so maybe u should do same...anything to avoid NSF... Those UKVI pple dey craze some times...

Thanks for your swift reply. I am rusty. I have not been on this thread for a while and I commend your effort in answering people's question. I started getting worried about all theses proofs of a thing with consent letter. I have pile loads of family pictures on pdf. I laugh myself when I checked the size of the pdf file and i saw 137mg.lol

@AdvanceDNA, is it advisable to use UK statement of account for dependant application?

SirPilgrim:
Pls I would like to confirm the exchang rate uses is the official rate or parallel market rate

Pounds > Naira 1220.

kinibigdil:
Anyone with experience, please is it a good decision to switch energy provider from EDF to another provider because edf gave me £320 for one month for a 3 bedroom family of 4. And can I use uswitch for this or are there other options.

Please I need advise

Yes you can switch. You can switch to British Gas. It is better to request for smart meter.

Franzee:


Nah since after that sky news saga skilled worker became very slow... Even to get COS nah wait upon wait..

And they went ahead to open another branch in Enugu

It should be expected that decision will be slow since June/July because of the september intake. Everything will soon come back to normal.

Greetings to everyone from this side

Osa4:



How dyu register DBS ? and after paying 60quid you will still pay to update??

Dbs is not up to £60 but some employers collect dbs fee from applicants. It’s wise to do the update service so you don’t have to do another dbs every year.

typicaltemi:


Thanks so much, but how do I register before getting it in my mail..since I don't have NI and drivers license just passport. Can I register with just my international passport..

You can’t register. It’s only employer that can do that for you.

typicaltemi:
Please, how is DBS checks done, my employer say I will have to update DBS before I can work with them... please who has gone through the process before getting a carer offer/COS

When you receive your DBS in the mail. It’s better you register it for update service within 7 days. You will pay £13 for update service for a yearly.

As it is now. Indians/Paki charge more for COS now. Pls don’t quote me

slimanyd:


Exactly baba. Ure onpoint. I was shocked when an agent informed me and told the real truth. Infact. She said there are cos that doesn't come with work. And the price is actually low although costly as Nigeria to cough out such amount o , but if u compare the amount between cos that comes with job and the ones that doesn't, the difference is around 4 to 5 figures. While the desperate ones takes such offer with the believe of securing a job once they land but reverse is what they met onground. Imagine u come UK dey do 20hrs work ontop spending such money . Chai.

Spot on!
When so called Agent tell them price. They will go will cheap one. I kuku no blame them, if na me nko
