See ehn I have given up because it seems there's something going on. I tried all the leads I got here, non worked. I tried checking my records with equifax, TransUnion, seems they have no data and I don't understand why.

But where I think I often have issues is the address. I stay on-site so technically, the address is a business address. This the only thing I can see as the problem.

I have got similar issues with hubby records where he doesnt have a record on experian, credit club etc but he does with equifax. And we can access this via credit karma freely (though sometimes 2mths delay)

I think it is because he had like 2 address history within 3months of getting to UK, doesnt make sense but thats the only difference between both our accounts and I have access to most free credit reports you can think of.

The trick for me is when applying on clearscore, money-saving etc, was to put 3years on my only existing address in the UK and voila I had access to all. The system won't allow you register if you don't click 3 years address and your records are on it.

For CC, do use previous suggestions, if i could add open or use HSBC current account, you see those Halifax and Lloyd's you need like a very good current account with them before you can be approved because they will even ask you questions about your visa and its expiry et al.

I have had an account with Halifax and was rejected until after 1.5 years of operating as my salary account and was offered £3k. Meanwhile HSBC offered more for a new current account i just opened.

Since claremont mentioned vanquish, I thought apply again to proof the ease........

Here is my result....... That makes it 2 successful applications within 48 hours........

You might need to appease your village people.......

NB : No more credit card experiments from me, not unless you promise to pay the resulting bills.......

Boss d boss, to think I have a £200 capital one credit card

If one gets a job offer in UK and one does not have IELTS certificate, please are there other options in other to get a tier 2 visa even without IELTS certificate?

Apply for UK Naric

@spacyzuma try confused.com, from experience they usually have cheaper insurance providers

E be like sey home office done do me 419

I called the home office covid-19 immigration support team to ask if I have to pay the IHS because I’m a front line NHS staff. They said I shld pay but apply for a refund. They gave me email address to contact to get a refund after payment. I made the payment and sent this email with all my details and application number about 2 weeks ago.

I got a reply today saying:


Thank you for contacting the UKVI NHS Team.

On 21 May, it was announced that the Home Secretary and the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care were to work together to exempt NHS and health and care staff from the Immigration Health Surcharge.

Officials in the Home Office and the Department of Health and Social Care are working through how to implement this change and full details will be announced in due course.

In respect of employees that work in this sector, the Immigration Health Surcharge will continue to apply until such time as an exemption is in place.

Please continue to check the GOV.UK webpages, as this is where updated advice will be published. The latest information and advice can be found here:

Kind Regards,

UKVI NHS Team

Lol UK UK . Not surprised though. Thought you should get automatic extension without applying for visa though

LuvlyIva:
Hmmmm let me see it ooooo! How can someone in the UK that works as mental health care assistant for years not have saving. Shame!!

This reeks of so much entitlement and disrespect to your wife. Just log out of Social Media and relax uncle, you are an elder abeg

LuvlyIva:
I am already in Nigeria enjoying my self and enjoying my country. Make Una carry Una UK for Una head. Lol!! I am a free man now. So happy!!!!

Its sounds like you are trying to convince yourself way too hard . Wishing you all the happiness you state

These are the document given to me.

certificate of Approval

CHARACTER AND HEALTH QUESTIONNAIRE

ASSESSMENT FORM

Oath of Allegiance

SKILLS ASSESSMENT AND ELIGIBILITY FORM

Have you done skill assessment in your chosen occupation? What Visa subclass is this Skilled Nominee Program. The Australia Point test system for offshore is mainly the 3 subclass 189, 190 and 491. Does this fall under any of them?

I will be conscious of making any payment if you haven't done an assessment or apply to a particular state for nomination

claremont:
Good to see that there are a lot more Nigerians in the NE than I originally thought. I have worked in Grimsby and live close by, but my working career has taken me around most remote towns in the NE. The [b]NE is a hidden goldmine for healthcare [/b]professionals, most people tend to think that London and the south is where the money is.

Abeg expantiate make i do my research and port to where money � is at

Lexusgs430:
Oga, biko remind me the question.......

Me too I am interested oo, what is a Monica biko

gratefulme40:
Biko who has used small world to do transfer to other countries besides Nigeria? Does anyone know if it works to send to Other countries?

If its on the list of partner countries, it should work fine could be delayed due to different timezone (working hours).

Their customer service is pretty good and you can chase up with that if any issues. Come gist us after

Lexusgs430:
British people do a lot of things, that are detrimental to their health...... Do you want me to start listing them?......

Whenever i go shopping, although i have been banned (i am been accused of always buying more expensive options), I see lots of British people buying bottled water.......

Don't get me wrong, i am not saying the water is poisonous (if compared with water coming out of our taps in Nigeria).....

But ask yourself this pertinent question.... Do you have limescale in your kettle? I say no more.........

Lol, we love our tap water like that joor, especially when turned to the right for 10 secs in this hot summer sun . It hits right ✅

justwise:
I have mixed feelings about this bereavement scheme , so one has to die before his/her loved ones benefits? How about giving them ILR while that DrHealth Care Assistants, Porters, Ward clerks, or career is still alive?

Exactly why must it take their death before granting them PR but other side of it is easing the financial stress on the family that just lost someone. I foresee more immigration changes coming

@aphrodite007. Been a while, hope you are much better now, if you see this

Spanishmilf:
Wanted to but it won't get the views and comment and probably traffic like these one

It will gradually. There was a time this page wasn't getting a lot of traffic as well. Even right now there are times thread regular get busy and we drop off front page.

Lexusgs430:
The power of the press and positive opposition pressure........

Such a good news to read, hope they add family members paying NI and reduce ILR fees. Nothing our God cannot do

missjekyll:
Has any of you lovely people found any money transfer site paying more than Ace? lol,azimo was cheating me for so long. I dont want to miss out again o

Someone I know recently used small world, when it was 535 but since then its been back to502 in the range of Ace. Best thing is to download app and compare rates before the transaction

Lexusgs430:
Una get time o, he wants you to convince him uk is better.........

UK is worse than Syria, best he remains in Nigeria. And only visits occasionally, boys would be doing schedule servicing and interim servicing on his behalf.......

Boys are not smiling.......

Your responses are legendary

To our healthcare workers in the house.

I want to thank you guys immensely for putting up with the COVID 19 fight and kicking it's behind gradually. You're loved, respected and well valued members of the society.

Don't feel sad if you have to refuse to treat or stay off work for a while due to stress from all that's going on; lack of PPE, adequate mental stress support etc. You are absolutely in the right. Don't forget, you're human as well.

The world owes you, remember that. You'll go down in history as legends for being in the health care industry when earth was ravaged with a virus.

Take pictures so your great-grandchildren will flex in future, that they come from a bloodline of heroes. Because that's what you are, heroes. Every Single One of Yous.

I believe by now, you'd have realized people will still have different opinions about you.

Most popular of them being; "it's what you signed up for." "You shouldn't be a doc or nurse etc if you can't stick it."

It's fine, you don't have to feel bad about it. They're just opinions. They know no better.

You deserve a pay raise and adequate staffing. You deserve better for this single act of bravery. But we know how the world works. "Whataboutisim" will kill that in an instant.

However, we do hope when all these is over, the whole world will realize how valuable you are and do the needful.

Stay safe. Stay alive.

Welcome back bros. Long time no hear

profemebee:
I need the council flat to have my name cos i want to use it as one of the Utility bills documents to apply for uk spousal visa extension as it will have both our names..

Thought it is better to show docs with both names on it..

pls correct me if need be oo

I see, in that case your best bet is the tenancy and/or council tax bill

profemebee:
looks like a plan..

thanks i will

I have to get my name on the Tenancy Agreement first tho

Your council tax will become more expensive though with more than 1 adults or you need the council tax bill for a specific reason

LagosismyHome:
Really .... I guess it depends on when this was. My family of 5 kids are all pro unitate school . Fabulous back then

Same here. I probably will go for a different option now though. But those were the best and formative part of my life

chic2pimp:
It's not in your head , it pretty much is. The both aim to educate the brightest of the bright in the society.

The slight difference being Grammar Schools were set up to help bridge the Gap between the Rich and Poor of the society whilst unity schools were set up to create an environment that would help foster the integration of the Various tribes in Nigeria.

Ohh, thanks makese sense then. Thanks for the analogy

LagosismyHome:
Maybe she means more toward preparation tips, 11+ plus lessons etc and when best to start

Yeah and cost implications..make we start to they budget amidst visa fees and all.

Lexusgs430:
Move to an area, with enough Grammar schools......

Would be too much pain for kids to have a 2 hours journey, either way.........

I know kids that attend from London......

London - Kent..... They wake up much earlier, get on the train, then one bus to school.......

True, not sure of this my area though. What about preparation did your kids attend a prep school or just tutoring? Not sure how it all works.

In my ahead, I see the grammar schools as a better version of Pro Unitate schools in Nigeria

Lexusgs430:
We have to try and offer our children, much better than our parents offered us.....

Hoping they offer their children, much higher than we offered them...... Hopefully, the chain would continue

Yeah thats right, what advise or steps would you have for a family with young kids who wants them to attend grammar school in future. So we can start to dey plan finances accordingly

deept:
Same thing that came to mind o.

From today he is brother lexus430g

Same with me, na bros the bros. Tuale baba

umarwy:
I am not understanding, has conditions for ILR changed

Main applicant don work for his next of kin be that. So sad it takes them dying for families to be granted ILR

STENON:
Visa extension for frontline workers including care assistants.
Congratulations to you all

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/home-secretary-announces-visa-extensions-for-frontline-health-and-care-workers

Smart government, statistically, I feel they chose the month with the least number of likely applicants because a lot either have 3 or 5years contracts. Sampled a lot of nurses and doctors so far and they have either renewed early on before Feb or renewing after November 2020 or not till 2021/2022

To be fair to all, they should give an automatic 1 year for everyone whether it ends before or after Oct 2020. After all, they are all fighting the war together.

While they are at it, they can reduce IHS cost as well rather than increasing it again later on this year

wonlasewonimi:
Let them test covid19 vaccine on you. They will pay you or chosen beneficiary handsomely

Ah, you are not nice ooo

RalphJean:
Biko where is that moniker called
HiddenID?

Please what brand of beer do you like?

Thank you for letting us know about ACE.

Right now, I am doing bye bye to Azimo (I will miss their 45 seconds crediting time sha).

I’ve used ACE now for over £500 transfer and boy!!!! Did I save money? Of course.... I did.

Money was in Naira bank Acct within 25 minutes.


10 Gbosa to that brother (abi Na sister).

We just heard about ACE too, and interestingly they had better reviews on trust pilot than transfer wise which we thought was the best rate. Porting sharply
