Update!!!
The ETC will not do us much good as its only valid for a one way travel



Sorry, I had to quote you Kaad! I really am not sure how to make a new post on this thread.

I need help regarding ETC (emergency travel certificate) or what's it called?)

Let me explain my dilemma ;
I'm looking to bring my children aged 3 a d 5y/o to the UK. They now have their visa. I planned my mother in-law would bring them (she was also granted visa)
Then the issue of my mother in law not been allowed through immigration arose as acquaintances told stories of people not allowed to bring others' children irrespective of relationship, other than being real parents (due to trafficking)
Now, my hubby planned on travelling down to naija to avoid stories that touch But DVLA has his int'l passport. Luckily for us, he submitted his old BRP during the application and now has his new and valid BRP (old BRP still needs to be returned to Ukvi whenever dvla pleases to return it)
My main questions as per our options are;
1.How feasible is getting the ETC and travelling with it?
2.Will be my mother in law be allowed to bring my children with regards to immigration?

All the elders in the house, I'll appreciate your input through knowledge and recent experience. TIA

Ati lo. Ati de. Previously booked test got cancelled in March due to COVID-19. Got an email two days ago to rebook test and I did for today’s date. Used my car and passed with 4 minors. Done and dusted. Kama pade mo o‼️Phewwwww. @lexusgs430 I think I deserve one bottle of Hennessy to be bought with one of those two cc you just received

Congratulations on passing! Some of us need to see this more often to develop kidney and book. Was your test with auto or manual?

Braket:
If I may ask, what year was this? Did you apply for it online or in branch?
They keep referring back online and won't do it for me in branch.

Just seeing this, twas in 2018/19
I walked into the branch with a letter of intro from my employer, PP and BRP

Healhtyliving:
Yes I was offered one when I opened a current account with HSBC with a credit limit of £2k5. The current account also came with an OD of £3k. I was barely 2wks in UK when the account was opened.

Same here. I was offered a £500 CC when I started banking with them but I refused out of fear/not understanding the way CC works. After I had gathered info on this platform and from others, I went back, applied and was offered a £2k CC and £4k OD.

I know you are married but permit me to say
I just love you for this! .i mean, I'm just grinning from ear to ear as I can relate with every step of the write up. You are such a gifted writer and you add humor which makes it appealing.
QED!!!

Blessingkwazie:
please I am still waiting for a reply on this

The time frame spans between 3-6months or more, it largely depends on you.
Also, I do not know of any class for CBT but there are loads of materials across various groups and some Recruiting Agents will provide you some.
First things first, concentrate and smash your IELTS, then you can comfortably approach recruiters/cbt groups for materials.
All the best!

Mimzyy:
So I woefully failed my theory and hazard perception test today despite preparing well(or so I thought). Gonna book another in three days but I just don’t know where I went wrong cos I tried hard not to click too many times in the hazard perception part. Any tips to help me prepare better please ? I feel so sad.

I guess you were being too careful and I can relate with how you feel cos I experienced it when I failed my first theory test by one score. Try and and get any of the afore listed apps/cds and practice again. You will be fine dear....

fatima04:
For some reasons I forgot to share my driving testimony here. So here it goes to encourage someone.

I passed on the 5th attempts after giving up for more than 6 months. .

Thank you to all who encouraged me to never give up. To all still struggling to pass, just dont give up and your hardwork would soon come to fruition

We go wash am ooooo.... Congratulations and happy new year

LagosismyHome:
I can't say for sure because I no longer renting but check on Google states landlord shouldn't charge for that....

that been said looks like government is quietly trying to kill the buy to let market with all these changes making it not so attractive. Because if landlord cant charge you this solicitor fees , it then needs to be paid by the landlord

Thank you, I actually read that it should not be borne by the tenant, I just needed confirmation. I know it's bad for the LL's business but it is the law. I have moved on from this house, I'll definitely find loads other.

LagosismyHome:
The payment is usually security deposit plus first month rent . I dont think they take first month rent from there. It usually separate as its held to be returned when you move out depending on any minus for damages

Thanks for responding ma, I actually quoted the first paragraph (but wrongly) from an earlier discussion on this thread.

My actual question is it ideal for the tenant to bear the Solicitor fee?
This is a private landlord whom we will pay rent and deposit to?

.This Security deposit house agents ask for in the process of renting a house, will they take our 1st Month rent from there?


Good evening good people and compliments of the season!
So, I'm looking to move house which I'm not finding funny (relocating from NI to Manchester,
new job ). I managed to get a flat-share.
Now LL is asking for a Solicitor fee £80 to draft tenancy agreement and other paperwork. I read on this thread about permitted fees when renting in England (something like that) and this was not included, or, are private LLs exempted?
Please help with responses, thank you.

The Texas BON registeration for Nurses not residing in the USA is a paper application and not online.

You would have to download the forms then have someone purchase a money order for you. You would then post the forma and money order by mail to the BON.

You can register for the jurisprudence exam online once the board has gotten your full application.

Thanks dear

Hi, tremendous job you guys are doing rendering assistance to everyone as needed. God bless you all.

I'm having a challenge registering with Texas BON. Once I'm on the site, there's a whole lot and it's kinda confusing
How do I register with Texas BON,
Is registering with the BON different from registering for jurisprudence exam?

Thanks for your prompt response

I am grateful to God for another opportunity to celebrate another milestone in my life. Many started this journey of life with me but sadly ended along the way. The race is not to the swift but to whom He showeth mercy. Thank you Lord for yet another year.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!

Happy birthday our dearest educator-cum-entertainer... May God bless and enlarge you...

Congratulations

FameG:
Hi all. Please the recruitment agency i contacted is trying to offer me options in care homes, claiming NHS isn't giving them slots for now. Do you think i should try another agency or i should go along with the care home offer?


IYIMAN, Incredible, barbie, exactly and every other person with experience.

Care Home/Hospital choice is entirely up to yourself. It depends on what you want. Some people will say there are coming to the UK for experience hence they go to hospitals while others will say the are after the money, then opt for care homes.
Generally speaking, working conditions in hospitals are more favorable.
So, I am putting it to you- what's your choice?

shndy:
Thanks for your prompt response! BTW what's DL? How long can one work as a pre-registered nurse? The osce can be taken anytime? No time frame? It's kinda expensive

It's Decision Letter, the NMC UK gives you this as an authorisation to take the OSCE after meeting their requirements

shndy:
Who has gone through the osce successfully please? For an unknown reason, the thought alone scares me hahaha. I heard it's difficult to pass if one isn't properly integrated into the uk Healthcare system before taking the exam? I also heard that once u pass the cbt, an employer can give u a letter of appointment, u can start work and sit for the osce later. Is this true please?
Thanks.

The OSCE is nothing to be scared of, as most of the times, your employer will arrange an OSCE training for you. Moreover, we were all nurses before coming to the UK, the OSCE is just a way to ensure that the UK standards are met!
And it's true that you can get a letter of employment after passing your CBT especially if you have your DL, which means you can be booked for OSCE soon after arrival. You will start working as a pre-registered nurse until you take the OSCE

Aphrodite007:
Hi dear, my apologies for not responding to your direct mail but I prefer to remain anonymous. Also, it’s always better to post your questions here so that you will get diverse responses or perspectives. No vex.

No worries, @wonlasewonimi already provided answers to my questions. Thanks all the same

Abini2012:
I can't remember where I saw a question a student going to school in Edinburgh asked about work. If you are here, check them out

That's the hostel across the Street.. met some lovely people on our row of rooms.. 2 Spanish guys, one has visited Abuja and a lovely couple from India

Good job you are doing, educating and entertaining us... You sure deserve some accolades ��

Lexusgs430:

Hello guys.
I'm sorry for my absence, it's been very long for me.
I'm finally at my apartment.
Got to Manchester this afternoon and took a train to my new base
I realized that I needed essentials like bathing soap, body lotion, toothpaste, detergent, so I took a walk to the city centre but couldn't get my way back to the apartment.
Weather report; it is so cold(18°C). But they are telling me it's quite hot.

Welcome to the UK, just know that you came at the best season and enjoy it before November creeps in.
We are enjoying the 'warmth' while it lasts.

Lexusgs430:
Do you have a BRP card?.....

I do

Lexusgs430:
Are you biometrically registered?...

If yes B02......

I really do not understand the question but I went for Biometrics before visa was issued in naija

Lexusgs430:
Yes, it redirects you..... Setup with your Google account.... (assuming you have one)......

Thanks boss. Another question, which of the following best describes a Tier2 holder visa type ?

Lexusgs430:
It's sad it took that unfortunate incident to reset their medulla........

I do not mean to be bothersome but I cannot find my way around the //nigeriahc website. I dunno if it's me but it keeps redirecting me to the Nigerian site, is this right?
Don't mind my childish questions biko

wonlasewonimi:
I went to renew mine yesterday and it was surprisingly smooth process. Thanks to the glass breaker.

The only thing you have to do now is go to the post office and buy a self address special delivery envelope for £7.40. This is after you have completed the online forms and paid 130 dollars. After completing the online form and you are validated. You will will get a date to go and do data capture.

Yippee... Happy days!
