When you speak from a point of knowledge, they bend backwards..........

Exactly, one has to really ask question and be adamant, it's like they tell them to attend to patients under 1minute or maybe there is a reward for seeing the most patient sha

Lexusgs430:
I can see you already visited A & E..... I believe our body is like a motor vehicle, understanding when our cars are spluttering and why + understanding symptoms....... So you guide your medical practitioner..........

It's even my son that is the issue because of all infection he picks from nursery.At a point I was becoming worried and wanted to run some tests but trust them to dissuade me from it and say it's common and I should even be happy his infection rate is just every 2months.

I trust myself in naija, we for don do typhoid , malaria and all join and give am correct injection

Lexusgs430:
Simple solution...... If GP fobs you off..... Head to A&E........

Its A&E as well. Went to GP in the morning, got worse went to A and E around 7 told us to go home around 10. Then had to go in the middle of the night when ibuprofen wasnt even doing anything.

Could be my own local A&E though

Pls is there a link where one can see the list of registered religious institutions licensed to issue marriage license in Nigeria.

Need to verify sth urgently. Thank you all.

Lexusgs430:
Let's replace this cashew nuts, with black market antibiotics purchased in the UK........

My question is why? To visit a GP is free, to collect antibiotics is also free........

The why is when the GP refuse to prescribe it. They are always in a hurry to dismiss you by saying keep giving him fluids. I have been to the A and E 3ce in 24hrs when my son was really Ill but they kept telling me to give him water, just because all the symptoms was not up to 7days.

On each visit i had to wait more than 3hrs to even be attended to. The 3rd time I refused to go home with him and the on call doctor had to put him on admission.

Dont let me even start on doctors dt will attend to you for barely 1min after waiting several hours for them.

I wouldn't buy drugs in the UK illegally though, I tell my visitors to always buy drugs for their use when coming, I cant shout abeg

Lexusgs430:
Better eat and enjoy your cashew nuts yourself.......

Lol, you are not nice

Phayie:
Boss I'm not sure I understand what you mean. But let me try to explain again.
If we want to apply together we'll need about N13m but if she apply first with about N4.5m then after she successfully secure the Visa, myself and the 2kids will use about N8.5m to apply. So we're llooking at managing 9m for the application instead of about N13m

Why not ask her employer to get a COS that provides maintenance for the whole family. It makes it easier and you can all apply together with the 4.5m (cost for family of 5) you have. If you apply separately you have to source for maintenance fund which must be in your account for a certain period of time before you can apply and thus keeping you further apart.

In my own honest opinion, applying together is ALWAYS the best way to go for now and future applications.


N.B:most employers are usually willing to do this because they know las las na your salary go suffer am if you claim money.

justwise:
Asking a question for clarification is different from asking to know if you can get away with lies.

She also did ask if she should tick no....meaning she was just trying to decide the implication on both her and the dependant and also had not submitted the application.

sometimes post wording and intention can be quite different ooo but ofcourse we judge based on wording

Just to add, the application questions are not entirely wholesome and specific to each visa category and do have ambiguous questions.

E.g I am applying for a Tier 2 visa for 3years and they asked where you will be staying during your stay in the UK. Now you can choose either a family or paid accommodation with the employer, but none of them qualifies as being right.

RalphJean:
Nope. It wasn’t ‘just a question’.
Someone had resolved (in the heart) to fill a falsehood on an application.
The person only needed a validation.

Hmmn, it is not a lie as it is being treated here. When I was filling this form my interpretation of the question is "is the dependant coming with you to the UK" simply because the superceding explanation states this" is to enable you put in their passport information details for when your dependant applies" which they will have to fill an independent application.

I believe this is just for verification purposes only to match up the details of the principal and dependants

When filling for Tier 2 with dependants you want to be careful, especially when the COS covers
them for fund maintenance requirement.

For example, when applying for NI, a question asks where was your visa issued (my BRP clearly states UK) but in reality DWP wants you to choose Nigeria. When my friend assumed differently and chose UK, he got called in for an interview for a false misinterpretation.

This is in no way trying to justifying lying on applications/ang scenario because it just complicates your life out in tying loose ends.

Hello house, please is there a way to select a specific region for 489 nomination while creating an EOI?

Orana stated on their website dt one MUST choose orana on the EOI while skillselect only allows for state selection and choosing YES for willing to live in a region.

Please any response to the above??

CharisJay:
Good morning everyone. This thread has been enlightening for some of us silent followers.

A have a question.

Principal is applying for tier 2, she is not going with her husband now, he would come later. But she ticked that he would be traveling with her so that should could add his passport number to her application. He would apply in about 3 months time.

Would this affect the application in any way? Or should she tick no?

If you have submitted, there shouldn't be a problem as plans can change, but if you havent just change it once and for all.

Note that if current COS covers for dependants he has to apply within 3months before it expires, if not then the principal has to fulfil the required minimum income for 6months or so

See what i saw in the papers today.
Apparently some are ditching their US citizenship, perhaps for tax reasons.Even our incoming prime minister gave up his about 2-3 years ago after the US slapped him with a huge tax bill.

Chai what some of us emptied accout for and some still have huge medical Bills on payment plan. It is well my country

Mamatukwas:

Fatima04 & house

Can you please advise if changing career to quantity surveying in the UK is a smart move? I am looking for something that can make me work independently as a contractor on a long run.

Please advise

It is a smart move as there is a shortage of QS and estimator currently in the UK. Getting the required training and all is another story entirely.

Which background or profession will you be switching from if I may ask

umarwy:
Hi guys I passed my driving lessons my second time on the 15th of July with two minors ( failed my first attempt on the 25th of june, cut the last corner to the test centre. Literally the last minute of the test).

I had 3 hrs Training in April then switched instructors and had 14hrs with my new instructor ( block booking savend me a few) before my first attempt and had just 2hrs a day before my second attempt plus 1hr on the test date. I also watched a lot of YouTube videos about driving mistakes, mock tests etc. About 100 hrs of YouTube. ( I know I am a YouTube addict)

Got my insurance today with admiralty ( not black box but similar, I get a device I plug into 12v power outlet for 6months and send it back to them) for roughly 1300.

Got my first car off a friend nissan note.


Things to note.

1 I got a 650-800 quotes when I was shopping for insurance with my provisional license, as I have had it for close to 2 years. But when I passed and was shopping for insurance I couldn't get anything below 1300..

2. Passing the test is just about being calm and relaxed, a few minors won't fail you. If you are on sure just wait and take your time to decide ( a lot of faults come from poor planning.


Good luck everyone.

Congratulations I am tapping into this for whenever I am ready

Aphrodite007:
Can somebody please explain to my why a current account switch will adversely affect my credit score?? I’m so annoyed.

And I didn’t ask for overdraft o, I’m sure I cancelled it sef. Why should opening a normal account affect credit score? E just no make sense at all!

Anyway, just got on the Lifetime ISA bandwagon. It sounds too incredible that I feel there’s a big but. Does anyone have experience with the Lisa? If me and hubby open our own lisa, in two years, we are looking at 20k deposit for our house.. it just sounds too good to be true.

One of the factors that contribute to a good score is keeping your current account opened for a long period. Once you go through with an account switch, the old account is closed and replaced by the latest one and thus having a new effect date. Dont worry, It will get better within couple of months.

You can open a new current account now, incase you want to switch in future or any other reason, that way you still have an old account in your records.

TJ18:
Good morning, thanks to all wonderful contributors on this thread. The information here is priceless.

I'm applying for a tier 2 visa for myself and my wife(dependant) and my employer is certifying maintenance for both of us.
Please how true is it that only marriage certificate from Ikoyi registry is recognized by the embassy because mine was done and issued at Ibadan registry.

Also, part of the documents required from my wife is proof of relationship in which I've compiled previous pictures, court wedding pics, intro pics and screenshot of chats. Please are their any other persuasive documents I may need to include.

I look forward to your response.

Dont stress yourself with that unfounded rumour, as long as you are legally married in a certified court in Nigeria it is acceptable. You can also add your church/mosque certificate but not necessary.

Pictures and chats are not necessary for Tier 2 Visa. It is really easy as long as you stick to all the rules to the T.

All the best.

N.B:mine was done in a village from osun state and had no issues at all.

Divine88:
Civic of cos. But if u need a low fuel consumption car and a reasonable range car for a family of 3-4, nothing beats Kia Picanto, Hyundai i10, VW Up, Seat Mii & Skoda Citigo. Cheap to maintain and low insurance. Abeg Toyota Aygo should not been mentioned here ooo. Aygo should be a no no.

So for a lot of first time drivers/buyers like majority of us in this country, get something that will give u peace of mind. You don't need to be a petrol head, start small, get something that is value for money and just seat back.

What about Aygo, I have been eyeing it since a lot of people mentioned it on here oo. Awa humble beginners

Olonseh:
Hi everyone, please how can one scale the hurdle of credit check when seeking to rent a house. The 3 year UK residency criteria is posing a challenge. I'll appreciate a speedy respone please thanks.

@lexusgs430 @fatima04 @davechapelle @spacyzuma and others abeg make una help me put mouth for this matter

Did the agency ask for credit report? If No, a guarantor will save the hassle and then subsequent renting becomes easy and cheaper as your current agent/LL will provide reference for you.

If yes, what I did when moving house and the new agent could not understand why we dont have a credit report. Went on clearscore and noddle website and inserted 3years on our current UK address and apparently we had a credit file and history but the 3 year address history column will always prevent you from registration.

Note by then we had already stayed more than 1 year in the country though, so may not work if you are a newbie.

It does very much because it diverts traffic off this thread/section and the thread struggles to grow. Many threads in this section takes about 6months to hit 500 + pages but this one and many others with this whatsapp group issues take more than a year to get to even 200 pages.

Only 4 threads in front page of this section are pinned, the rest stay up purely because of traffic they generate and this particular thread hardly stay in front page of this section

The major reason why the thread stopped growing in the past year is that Australia has become increasingly difficult with different new legislations coming in almost every month.

Despite the WhatsApp group created from Canada thread it still keeps growing in huge number because of canadas favourable immigration, same thing with PTE thread.

I remembered how we had lots of success stories in part 1 but now we rejoice on successful assessment or English pass and then wait for more than a year for state nomination then another 1 to 2 years for Visa approval.

RalphJean:
Hello & thanks.
But before purchase, the only thing I can see is the licence plate and number

That's all you need in this UK . Quick info you can get before any online search, the plate number also denotes the year car was manufactured/registered eg DG11 Bleep is a 2011 car registered in Bleep location, while DG61 (50 added to any year from 2000) could either be 2011 or 2012 sometimes

justwise:
I'm sorry but you are wrong, the idea of the forum was clear and does not need interpretation, they want to move this thread to an independent forum. You can track all visas here and achieve info.

I'm surprised that many shouting don't close this thread because our lives depends on it was supporting moving the same thread out of NL yrs ago but couldn't do it.

I found out today that they have also created a website this year for immigration services and they have being dropping email address from that website here.

Moving the thread out of NL was raised back then in part 1 and shutdown by numerous people because of obvious reasons and also for future applicants to gain info.

I believe despite so many threads on NL (not only Australia PR) creating WhatsApp groups for different purposes it has never affected the group participation and all, many of us refresh this page daily and contribute when we can.

Sometimes judging posts in isolation is not ideal, my own case in point where someone has challenged me my post on here because of my affiliations with other threads.

Please let us move on from this issue so that we can progress forward as a group.

N.B:that post was 2years ago I believe, if it was actually a serious effort or innovation, then this crisis as at hand may bot even occur

justwise:
This is a different case and has nothing to do with bellong's ban

The post was referring to creating a forum like immitracker and migration desk that is specifically for migration and tracking all Visa or nomination applications.

Thank you oo mamatukwas . and like play play chinchin and goodies don manifest

justwise:
He is not a fair minded individual, he was interested in throwing cheap shots at me and denying the fact.

Make no mistake this thread will move on without him

The thread may continue but could die as the source of connection will be lost. Bellong is the ONLY one that still comes back here from time to time to help people sort out issues. I remember when someone even threw a shot at him for always being online.

Australia PR is complicated and, i dare say he has alot of invaluable information for us all to benefit from and he has always been sharing even after this incident.

I implore both parties @justwise @bellong to find a common ground to resolve this issue amicably as I believe it just started as an innocent way of dropping information but probably because you are use to people giving same excuse, hence taking the defensive side automatically.

We have come a long way and currently a lot of us are struggling with immigration changes and this will certainly throw some people off track.

Daddybomboy:
Thanks Bellong. I've decided to use only the BSc and claim 8 - 9 years experience.

Cheers

Just to add, I think Vetassess is also keen on your job title for CPM so even if your job description matches that of Anszco, try and ensure your title also states CPM (this should be shown on the organisation chart)

I know someone whose number of years was reduced because this wasn't shown by some of his employers
