You are forgetting the little matter of the deposit, mileage restrictions and option to buy fee.......

Yes they are always looking to shift stock, but at whose expense?

That deposit sef will buy a car and the insurance.

This place wey nobody send you even if you're driving ferrari... The problem is a lack of creativity on how to spend money

Spent 4k on an old lexus with 68k miles and the insurance and am angry I didnt buy the cheaper one for 1, 6k at least till my insurance drops and I have a house.... 14k will get you 5% deposit on mortgage.... Besides when financing, a new car, you spend about 6k extra than actually paying cash

I think it’s better to buy a used car because no matter the make of the car, once you have driven it out of that forecourt almost half of the value has been knocked off. Even if it’s six months old to me you still make a saving. Insurance. Is also very high on new cars. The financial commitment is a lot for someone just coming in to settle down in the uk. Better to take on a mortgage than a car finance in my opinion but maybe it’s the accountant in me that’s speaking.

I would rather have money in my pocket than look fine and be broke... That said a car is not an investment. This people just market it as such and can be an inefficient way of maximising your earnings value

To start with, you should have gone back to nigeria and have your husband file for you to return back to the UK as his dependant.

You’ve said your partner is on a work/business visa. I assume this is the entrepreneur visa so why is he working at a nursing home? Has he considered switching career paths? What’s his educational background ?

It’s going to take up to 2-4 years if not longer to obtain your discretionary leave to remain. If you had returned to naija, with all the right paperwork, within two weeks, you would have obtained your dependent visa which gives you unrestricted rights to work and also study and you would have returned back to the UK with your kids as legal migrants.

It would have cost your family a lot financially but when you consider lawyer fees, the back and forth with home office, the 2-4years (or more) of unemployment on your part (lost income), then you will see that returning to naija would have been a better option.

This route you’ve taken is just added stress on your husband. Being the only income earner for a family of five is tough and considering the fact is not eligible for any benefits at the moment.

Be wary of friends encouraging and advising you to overstay. I would also be wary of friends advising you to work at mental homes (when it’s clear you have no passion for such roles). Such friends are usually the group of people that believe the only roles immigrants can get in the UK is care job which is an absolute fallacy. You needs friends around you that will advise you to do things the legal route. Friends that can inspire you to aim for a role in a fancy office at Canary Wharf.

Now that your visa has expired, if you return to nigeria and your husband files for you with his current status, you will be refused. You will have to wait till he gets his citizenship (another 2yrs+) before he can file for you under the spousal visa route.

Until you regularise your stay, it’s going to be very difficult earning an income. Focus on your kids, decide on what career path you want and go on udemy and see if there are short courses you can take.

Well. What if she gets denied and she's stuck there? Do you know how expensive visa is for 4 people? Even British Windrush still fighting for visa.... She has to get married first etc... Loads expenses... What she's doing is probably convenient. Anyway, nobody deliberately gets into such circumstances.

There are always reasons. And i think this is more reprimand than trying to understand why.... And that's why lawyers will help her and reach a legal solution

If you search instagram, there's a Nigerian nurse called Deola with triplets, she's a former colleague. Her laulau was too much. So I u followed her. Was happy i didn't date her. Maybe na me for Teri sii

NosoChic:
Please I hope we realise that information on this forum is easily accessible to whoever- we do not encourage anyone to overstay their visas.

We represent law abiding Nigerians and will not be caught encouraging anyone who willingly and knowingly chooses to break the law.

The thing is people have different reasons for their decisions and if they get into problems, except you are willing to directly help. Sorry to say, but its not really a matter to express your disatisfaction

People are just sharing their experiences

Na Die insurance. They'll even install evil spirit in the car to be monitoring somebody.... Na wa! At least, no need to buy tracker now
