pls stop spreading lies. What has this got to do with bad belle. In this nigeria you ran away from. People are making it legally.

The reality is that very few every day nigerians own properties there. Many live in council estates(small tight corners called apartment) the bulk of nigerians who owns high end properties in the UK are corrupt officials from nigeria. Most nigerian immigrants work hard jobs to pay the bills( grocery, rent and others)

The fact you say *many Nigerians live* in council house shows your statistics is very very limited and could be based on just people you know. I don't need to prove otherwise because you won't still believe.

P.S- we are more than 10 Nigerians at my workplace alone and it's white collar, also note that work is work as long as you are not stealing. Hardwork is all that matters.. ire oo

Mutendiwashe:

That is how I missed all the drama here. Kudos to all the epic responses oo.

If you are very confident to send a stranger from a country rife with fraudulent activities, your address and post code......
Don't be surprised when various strange letters starts dropping or a knock down on the door (not that type of knock).........



The red masterkey knock.....

That level of confidence sef, in a country all you do is tied to your home address

dustydee:
You don't seem to understand. If google has a problem sending it to Nigeria because they don't trust "Nigerians", I will be a fool to help, especially as I do not know what google knows.

Would you release your own home address to a total stranger you haven't met before all in the name of my fellow nairalanders?

I believe there are other form of payment verification method that cam be used. Research and try that.

Aphrodite007:
As in! It’s very irritating! Besides I doubt it’s true that they spend that much on non-uk immigrants. All through when I was in uni here, I can hand count how many Nigerian students ever went to GP, talk less of hospital, for anything (I was part of the Nigerian society, so we always checked on sick students).

Their business!

The annoying part was the article quoted "British tax-payers" are funding our health cost, why can't they do analysis to show how much this same set of immigrant are paying on tax for various jobs, before demanding such increment. They are just assessing the sole income of IHS I believe.

Last last who send us come

Fatima04, ova2U......

Lol, why me why me o why me

Spygadgets19:
]Thanks a lot for your response

You can try download a list of Tier 2 sponsors and look for small companies and apply to them directly.

You maybe lucky to get an offer with one willing to sponsor you, however you need to start this as early as possible not 1month to the end of your visa.

You maybe one of the lucky ones.

Marriage

Lol, you and your responses

Acos925:
please I need to ask a question. Can someone apply for dependent visa 2 months earlier to the expected date of arrival in uk?

planning to join my partner soon in North Ireland

If I am correct it takes 3months for processing but priority takes 3weeks or so. Just check the processing time for the category of visa you want for updated info.

In other news, IHS fees will increase to £400 per year because the govt spend an average of £420 on individual immigrant. UK and money

Ralphlauren:
PayPal credit has a high threshold for acceptability. It's just as stringent as American express.

If you are looking for your first credit card with offers like 24 months interest free on purchases, your best bet is to check one of the comparison sites such as money supermarket.com. All you have to do is select the type of offer you want, enter your details and a soft search will be conducted on your credit file. You will be shown a list of credit card providers as well as your chances of approval for each card.

This way you know the card provider that's most likely to accept your application and it saves you applying randomly with different credit card providers and getting rejected.

I have tried that and contacted a few but seems the less than 3years address keeps preventing, so hopefully will approach my bank next year for it

Congratulations on your OSCE exams

@Inkredible give us the spoiler joor that Apr 2019 seems too far now

Thanks Fati. I'll keep the credit history thingy in mind.
BTW, it's hubby and kids back home

One thing you should avoid is an illegal high called ecstasy............

Mortgage vs Renting? By renting, you are paying your landlords mortgage (aka dead money)

By paying your own mortgage, you are indirectly saving for your pension and building financial equity. Applying for a mortgage has its own complexities (deposits etc etc), but worth it on the long run.....

Credit Card - - - - That dreaded debt card, view it has a system of the banking sector giving you e money, while you pay back with real money...... It's not free money and can become very expensive money, if spent carelessly.... PayPal credit card offers a credit card facility without the card, offering 0% on purchases (a good start up credit history building tool).......

NHS covers your visit to the GP, hospital admissions etc etc..... Although you would have to pay a prescription fee, to collect medications at the pharmacy. Dentist and opticians visits are payable (unless you are on benefits)... But kids go completely free on all ratios (drugs, dentists, pharmacy) etc etc etc. If you kids require braces, best to dump it on the NHS, before they turn 18 (all for free) etc etc etc

To send money home, download this apps (WorldRemit & Azimo). Compare rates and use the one that tickles your fancy. Money gets paid directly into recipients account...

With regards bringing up kids, a lot to learn...... To avoid safeguarding issues and social services on your head.... It's a tight rope to cross.... You would cross that bridge, when you get to it or navigate the waters accordingly.....

And if you buy a brand new television at the shops, the retailer sends your details directly to TV licensing.... If you don't have a TV licence, just buy your TV from ebay or gumtree jejely........ And avoid opening your door indiscriminatly, to avoid TV licence wahala......


Allow me go get high on ecstacy........

Oya Lexus abeg no get high, we need you on high alert . Pls enlighten me about the PayPal CC without a card and will someone with a shaky credit score get it before I remove d second leg the score is standing on

[quote author=ecstacy29 post=73262068][/quote]Welcome to the land. You can collect the CC you need it for credit building, and in order to get some basic things in this country you need a good credit score, only thing is don't use up to 50% of your allocated amount and pay as you use it or end of the month.

Staying alone in this country isn't easy especially when your kids and wife are back home, just try and quickly have them over as soon as possible to quickly adjust and settle down as well but in all you will be fine. It's all a matter of time.

All the best in your career and stay. Come give us pictures btw to brighten this thread na

Use spareroom.co.uk

Thanks, did not know one could get a house or flat through spare room. Will check

I don't like it when people come here to ask question pretending to be someone else, we keep going round and round trying to force you to give a clearer picture and you keep taking us on a loop

Lol. You should be an investigator

justwise:
I did not pay in my own case but it took longer than one week before i got a genuine landlady though before then i got contacted by few people including scammers and i viewed two houses.

Facebook is another good tool to use, search for renting in your city and you will see different groups you can join and place an ad or view houses advertise for rent.

Thanks, will try that as well and be patient with gumtree.

I am trying to rent a house through gum tree but haven't gotten any response to my ad in a week. Do I need to pay for the ad to be on the front page or something or what strategy can i use?

@justwise please guide me

Good question, oo. Awon uncle esabod people

saboau:
Hello my people, i want to know if a Tier 2 carrying Immigrant can bring in a child with a US passport without a dependant visa into the UK. Of course the child cant stay more that 6 months. Just want to know if holding different entry document is not a problem
Thanks

I believe he can come but won't be entitled to free healthcare since he hasn't paid for IHS surcharge.

I also learnt if you are staying for the long term and your dependant doesn't start their visa the same time as yours, a slight issue may occur when you apply for ILR because you are settled then and they may need to exit the UK to apply for a new visa route.

fopishow:
Thanks for the input, i appreciate. I pretty much have the linkedin update and job portals covered as i started applying already. I am mostly concerned about how fierce the job market is at the moment? I currently work the same role with a top oil servicing firm in abu-dhabi and i would be giving that up(resignation) to see if i could land a job within a month/two,how realistic does that seem? Another question i have is that, as a tier 2 dependent, am i to pay income tax as well?

Getting a job depends on a lot of factors and cannot be accurately predicted. See if you can connect with some recruiters online and probably get interviews arranged via Skype or something.

I believe your experience from abu-dhabi could also help and extend your search to Scotland e.g Aberdeen if possible because of your current experience.

To your second question, you pay income tax when you start working and you earn above £11,000 per annum

fopishow:
@ fatima04 & gurus here, please advise how easy it is to secure a job on tier 2 dependent partner visa valid for 3 years. Are employers willing to employ on this PBS dependent visa?I work as a procurement specialist, any tips on how to land a job in the same field sooner? FYI, I will be moving to south east-England within few weeks. Please advise.

There are no work restrictions on your type of visa, so you can so just register on as many job site as soon as possible and update your linkedin account to suit your profession and what is expexted of professionals in your field.

In all apply for all jobs you see that fits into your role and follow up with mails and calls seen on job advert.
All the best.

beyondbasicsng:
Hi all, a little help please. So, I was told by a few colleagues that they recieved their tier 2 visa 15 working days after application- however, I got an email today from UKVI saying that that only applies to visitor Visa and that tier 2 MAY take up to 12 weeks. I know that's not to say it can't come on or a few days after 15 working days, but I'd like to hear from anyone on here who recently got theirs; how long it took. Also, those with dependents, did everyone's passort arrive at the same time or days apart (dont live in lag or Abuja so we paid to have it delivered), as I have also heard they sometimes don't come together. Thank you

Tier 2 usually takes 3weeks and 5working days with priority and I believe that is still the case because of current details on gov.uk website.

Your passport should arrive the same day if you all went in together for biometrics as it is usually advised.

Finally @trastar Congratulations, may the country favour you.
