erico2k2:
you are allowed to drive with your Nigerian Driving Licence in the Uk, for how long I will find out, I used it back in the days.

bro,please do you mean one does not need the IDP to drive in UK and the regular driver's license will suffice?

jelmusboy:
Morning my people.

I got a Tier 2 job in the NHS and have been requested to get a police clearance certificate (certificate of good conduct). Has anyone done this or have an idea of how to go about it within the UK? Have been calling the Nigeria Embassy in London to ask for procedure on how to go about but no response from them. I have booked an appointment with Scotland Yard (Met Police) but I don't know if I need to go to the Nigeria Embassy before going for thumb-printing at Scotland Yard.

Your responses will be highly appreciated

NB: I am currently in the UK on Tier 4 visa

1.if you have been in the UK on Tier 4,you should be able to do your DBS check In UK which is supposed to be initiated by the trust.
2.If you want to do the naija CRB,u ll need to download the CRB forms nd print them,take it to the UK police station and thumbprint.
After all that,send it to naija alongside 2 passport photographs,someone can help you take it to Force CID,Alagbon in lagos,get it done and send it back to u in UK
3.If u v got loads of cash,u can do everything online for around 40k(check nigeriacrb.com )

First step, get in touch via Email/phone

I have done that sir.Do you have an idea how long it might take to get them back?

So I got my passport back after some 37 days of waiting.
Unfortunately they didn't return my original supporting documents(degree certificate and the likes).
Does anyone have any experience with this?How long does it take them to return original documents and how do I get them back?

I'm sorry this isn't really meant for this forum but I am just sampling experiences.

SEASONS GREETINGS to everybody in the house especially justwise
I have applied for the PLAB2 exam in manchester and have some general inquiries about visa application.
I am a Nigerian but presently working in Saudi Arabia for a year now.I have a renewable yearly resident permit here, i am also entitled to an annual vacation which is now about 35days which i have deliberately delayed up till now to enable me travel and write my exams.
My cause of concern is that i was told it was difficult to get the plab 2 visa here if i apply from saudi arabia because a friend who applied some months ago was told he was refused because he "doesnt have sufficient ties here and should apply from his native country".I am constrained by time difficulty as i have very limited time to be away from work(vacation) so am thinking of starting the process here and if granted ,i could fly back to Nigeria(employer takes care of flight ticker back to youtr native country) and stay for about two days and then fly to Uk to attend a course and then sit for the exam.
please how do i prove i have sufficient ties here to avoid visa refusal and is there any problem if i decide to travel to Uk from Nigeria even if the visa is issued from Saudi Arabia.

Hey doc,
You can apply from Saudi but the issue is as you said,those ECOs can act funny sometimes.However I doubt if you have more ties to Nigeria than Saudi.Your work is in Saudi and maybe family too.
Essentially what you do is apply from whichever country you have more ties to.E.g if you are on a 1year contract and you have only worked,say 6 months and your family z based in Saudi.I would conclude you have more ties to Saudi.
And about "starting the process in Saudi and if granted"
If u r granted UK visa from Saudi,you don't need to fly to Nigeria.Not quite clear why you want to fly to Nigeria first.
I have had friends who applied for Plab 2 visas from Saudi successfully,albeit majority applied from Nigeria.
They basically need your work documents,contract,leave documents,proof of residence.Anything and everything that proves u are economically tied to Saudi.

teejay21111:
And I got my visa. I will play the script for you later. Thanks to everyone and God's favor to everyone expecting.

Bro congratulations

teejay21111:
VI TLS no try at all. They started holiday today, so I couldn't get my visa.

Wow,so the place is locked huh

teejay21111:
Am just here wondering why I didn't get decision mail from Sheffield and I got from TLS... Is this a normal thing?

Hope you v gotten your collection email now

ablo:
I submitted my application on Dec. 6th it's not priority but still yet to get a decision email
It looks like there is serious problem with ikeja tls.
Anguish is killing me here o.
Congratulations to the guy that got decision mail. At least you will know this week

I also submitted in Ikeja o,did you get an email from Sheffield or just from TLS that your application has been received.

teejay21111:
I got decision mail from TLS now. Am I supposed to get from Sheffield too?

Not necessarily,the next most important one is the collection email.Good luck man

teejay21111:
Just calm down bro, I strongly believe all things are working for our good.

Chief,am now very humble.Did you apply for tier 4 or 2?

nomad26:
That is not a valid excuse, they can't collect more money and then waste people's time. In my opinion, it could be that there is something peculiar about your application (i.e have you had any previous rejection or maybe they need to carry out further investigation on some documents). If I were you, I'd email them asking why a priority application is taking forever.

Trust me,been there,done that.When you call Hgs,they take your money and don't really help.If your application has no issues,you probably don't need them,if there are issues,they ll just keep escalating your case until you are frustrated or broke.
Simply put,there is really not much you can do until they are done.
Today is day 22(working days) for me and I also paid for priority.

chaochao:
please have you recieved ur visa?because am in the same shoes now. if yes pls share ur story[i][/i]

Bro,the wait is ongoing.N o be small thing

teejay21111:

Well,it looks like priority applications are not really being dealt with as priority these days.I submitted in Ikeja and TLS claimed it was received by UKVI on 22nd November(priority).
Got an email yesterday from Sheffield thinking it was finally a decision email after 20 agonising working days despite paying for priority,but the mail read "application received in Sheffield and is being considered bla bla.
Yes you read that right "received".
Bottomline;they are pretty messed up right now.I guess you ll just have to wait.

teejay21111:
Just wondering why it's taking long to get decision and the process started quite fast initially (Priority). I submitted on Thursday and my application was transferred to UK same day, then I received email that my application is now being prepared for considered by an ECO on Friday morning. Is it wise for me to ask for the status of my application via email or I should give them more time?

Bros where did u submit this application.

obynwanyioma:
Hmmm, that's strange, well you can write them again with your full details and request that your case be escalated

It has been escalated twice actually,weird isn't it.And they kept asking me to wait.But just when I thought I was going to get a decision email,i got that message instead.

obynwanyioma:
It could be system error, not sure tho. But you can contact UKVI customer service and inquire abt the status of your visa application, they will respond within one working day, if you inquire today, they will respond before the end of today. All the best

Did that actually,they claim there are no current updates.

Hello good people,I made a Priority PBS Tier 2 application exactly 20working days ago(28 calendar days).
I got an email from TLS that application was received by UKVI on 22nd November.Interestingly,i got another email from Sheffield that application has been received and will be considered shortly just this morning(after 20 working days).
Is there anyone who has experience with this,its really confusing.

jelmusboy:
Hello guys.

Can one deduce from the email sent by TLS or visa office that a visa is granted or refused?

NB: TIER 4 dependant visa

Bro,finally.You got the email today right?
BTW,there is really no way to know.All the best
