Guys please. How exactly do these agents have these cos links. To make dem charge these crazy fees to secure job for someone from naija.

How exactly do they go about getting the links?

Do they liase with the employers here in uk
Or do these employers get a cut from what the agents are charging naija people

Or the agents just simply do the hard work of looking for employers in need of staffs oversea willing to sponsor, and they charge naija people for the stress they went through for finding the employer

I really dont understand the Nigerian obsession with Ikoyi registry with all the stress. Do you seriously expect people from Bornu state to come to Ikoyi? Tells you all you need to know

Its not the only one that can be used for travel purposes. Your Ikeja or surulere or ota registry does the exact same thing

That is why i said asides cus i also dont like the stress. If left to me, i wanted to go thru the route of proving me and the person are partners with utility bills and co, but na people dey say marital documents tops every other thing

giselle237:
they dnt care about change of name. If you are married, you are married. Answering your father’s name whilst married in this world doesn’t stop anything

Very good then. Abeg as christians which legal marriage or partner document does uk recognize asides from this ikoyi registry stuff

koonbey:
You can apply with a day-old marriage certificate. Ideally though for such short timelines, you'd supply some photos from your wedding alongside. It's not strictly required though but there have been instances of people trying to abuse the system so anything you can supply to eradicate doubt would be good.

If one of two unmarried partner is in uk. And the other one in nigeria want to apply for dependent visa. And because of this application they want to get married. Remember change of surname on the lady's part would have not taken effect yet. All her passport and other documents will still carry her father's name.

Would this be a disadvantage during the visa processing. Wont they say since you are not married why is your name on your documents not carrying your husband's name?

Or should they forget the wedding and simply use utility bills and bank statement showing they live in the same place whilst the man was in Nigeria followed with pictures of both of them togeda

HenryG:
Hello Seniors,
Kindly help to understand how this works in the UK:
My wife and me will be going to Machester come September via Tier 4 visa. I am the main applicant and my wife will be the dependant.
If my wife(as a dependant) secures a job that can offer her tier 2 visa while i am still a student, does it automatically secures me now as her dependant to remain in the UK under her tier 2 visa? Please how does this aspect work according to the UK rules? Please help out.
Thanks

It works exactly how u have said.
The main applicant will now be the dependent's dependant

Plaitex:
Sure you can. I used mine

Which document can someone use to prove unmarried partner

hustla:

ijeshaoflondon:
No one can tell. But from a reliable source...They still need more Carers till 2030 but requirement might change.Nothing goes forever mind you.

Boss abeg. How exactly do people get sponsorship job from outside uk. Because on indeed and job sites all of them are looking for people already in uk to give spons jobs.

I need job site that spons outside uk for cheap labor either care work or farming or anything .

Why do these barbers only take cash?

dduchess90:
Hello

If your relationship is more than 2years she may qualify as your dependant partner

Please see screenshot of details you can provide,the list is endless

Cheers

Hello duchess i cant find a place where this is stated on the uk gov site it seems they have deleted it. I have searched and searched. Only that of a child dependent is on the site

Uzland:
W W! Congratulations to you, Generalkoke!

Uzi. Is it true that care workers are not under shortage occupation anymore?

Lexusgs430:
Your mum not working is not a crime....... You would have been upfront in your application letter, stating Grandma was coming to look after her only grandchild. She would be visiting for 3 month's and all expenses on your head (flight, accommodation, health insurance) etc etc.........

But not so long ago some people on this thread said it is a red flag to say your relative is coming for omugwo.

Which i find absurd. Cus if person wife born how person wan support him wife. Will both husband and wife now leave work when there are bills to pay? And only god knows how many months martenity leave uk dey give. Even if they give a long maternity leave who go come dey house with the wife.

So i dont think it should be an issue to tell vo that the grandma is coming for omugwo

hustla:
That's what I do
It's basically chilling 85% of the time

The wahala is paper work

Its what i do too. I dont even do any paperwork at all. Sometimes i go dey ask myself. Do these people like throwing money away or what. Cus the people i support dont even need supporting and i do basically nothing.

CowbellY:
They are able to check if you've been to the country before or like the schengen zone, they'll see your previous immigration records. But they wouldn't see your trip to Dubai.

So why wont they see the dubai trip na?
Also, lets assume you have been to uk, ger, dubai, fra, belgium, and now you have a fresh passport, and you are traveling from nigeria to uk, do you mean

1) uk immigration can only see that you have been to uk in the past

Or

2) uk immigration can only see that you have been to uk and other shengen listed above but not dubai

Or

3) uk immigration can see all of the countries you have been to before

hustla:
For the sole purpose of getting stamps on PP na

Person fit rent villa for dendenden

If i have a passport, and i have been to several countries and stamps are on it, and such passport expires. And i get a new passport.

Are the immigration officers in airport able to tell if such person have had lot of travel histories even when the new passport has no stamps.

Would they purposely run scan on the person history or they just have a computer that tells them on the spot the person's history or they have to ask the person first if he has been to other countries before

seyewest:
Go for it, I hope you've started traveling out of UK.

No i have not. I know d chances of being granted are high when one has travelled to other countries. But i just wanna try my luck. Because there are also first timers that are being granted. So its not really entirely abt how many countries one has been prior to the us

seyewest:
If you've been reading this thread, you should know that you don't need your bank statement of account for U.S Visa except you're applying for student visa.

duration of your travel is okay.

I hope your ties is in the UK?

Thanks. Yeah the tie is that i got a job in uk and i'm not done schooling in uk

@TWoods @chibertha
Thanks for answering my questions. I only have one last batch of questions before i start my usa preparation



1) i thought its the school we use to write sop too. How come during interview the vo always have a copy of the sop, i want to assume its the school that sends the vo the sop. Or is it that people write two sops, one for vo and one for sch.


2) concerning coa. I want to assume that coa is the total cost of ur addmission or is it the total cost of admission per year.

For example, if i am going for a 4 year phd. And the cost is 20k usd per year.

Does it mean my coa is 80k usd?

And if so, judging by the 80k analysis, what is the ideal deficit you can advise someone to have in his statement of account or would you advice someone to have the complete 80k usd or its equivalent showing on the statement to give the vo impression that you can take good care of urself financially.

TWoods:
Not at all. For biomedical PhDs, you can look for fellowships, teaching or graduate assistantships to cover your tuition + stipend.



Yes F2 visa holders are not allowed to work and there is no way to circumvent this. F1 holders can work in limited circumstances… and for no more than 20 hours per week. If you’re on a fellowship for example, you are not allowed to work. It’s worth asking, is a phd a path to study for you or a path to come and work?



Your civil partner will have to get her own visa on her own merit.



The F2 visa is a temporary visa, it is not intended for permanent stay in the US.



Get a job and extend your stay through an OPT or h1b work visa.



No. You are required to maintain full time status until you graduate. The consequence is the school will terminate your F1 status and report you to immigration authorities. Feel free to take the chance though.



A phd is a doctorate degree.

Honestly, i really appreciate your time in answering my questions.

But i hope you're not keeping some secrets from me maybe because you may feel this is an open space and there's a limit to what you can say.

I'm really paticular about the f2 for my civil partner. If you say its a temp visa of course i do know it is. But so many applicants here do it for their wife, are you telling me all of them go thru the stress of doing it for their wife even after knowing the wife will just be there for a short time and she wont work, or is there a secret nigerians are using over there whereby the wife can stay longer and do some under the radar job.

I have been reading the thread. From page1 and kudos to all the guys contributing. Please i have series of questions.


1) first and foremost, are all of you on the thread from a rich home. Cus after my findings, usa tuition no be beans o. Jesus. I'm planning to go for my phd because currently i'm almost done with my msc. And i learnt average tution for phd in usa is 28k usd per year, and phd is like three years and above, where will i see money from?


2) additionally, i heard f2 cant work, is this true? If so, is there a way to circumvent it? I also heard f1 cant work, is this also true, if so, is there a way to circumvent it?

3) furthermore, is it best to apply with my civil partner, or i should first go, and she applies after i am already there?


4) going forward, from people's transcript on the thread, most of the enlightened ones here says the f2 should tell vo that they are only going to be with the f1 for few months and they will return back, what if the vo gives the f2 a 4months visa, and the 4 months is due, will the f2 be sent packing back to where she was coming from or how can the f2 find a way to still remain with f1?

5) Also, after f1's education tenure is over, what can f1 do to still remain in the US?

6) pre-ultimately, is it possible for me to pause my schooling and just be working or is it possible to dump the schooling with no harsh clap back from visa team.


7) lastly, are doctorate degree cheaper than phd in usa



Thank you all as you answer my questions.
