Can be more interesting with ur input

dustydee:
Interesting thread.

Ohh. Funny enough I checked but felt I was checking d wrong link with all d drop down list and from d explanation I don't think it will apply to an expired vignette but anyways better not to complicate issues and go once and for all.

I agree just d cost nd direct flight is dre major advantage

Lamakinde:
Medview run international but always bite more than they can chew. It's relatively cheap but in flight services is not it at all. Flight delays and time change
The planes are old and not a smooth one.

Wow, such an exhaustive response. Thank you for the details. Will ask more as d process continues. God bless.
[quote author=dupyshoo post=62200666]I have answered some of the questions based on

Oh wow thanks @velvets will download d app.
It now makes sensemble when I see some 1 bedroom council tax is more expensive Dan 3bed.

Thanks for the tip on energy rating. Never knew dt but we'll what did I know before sef.

God bless for this further questions coming up

On airlines, I think I still prefer medview both for the price and short distance.
Though no in flight entertainment and it's still d usual nigeria food.

But it will be over before one knows it.

Researching can be so overwhelming ehn! Anyways I havent been able to find d cost of transferring the 1month vignette given to pick BRP incase it expires, so it's safe to say one shouldn't bother.

Advise to intending families like me just try nd go before it expires to avoid stories dy touch.

I discovered zoopla.co.uk for house search and I kinda prefer d interface to others like Gumtree so I recommend it,nd some of the pictures r too fine not sure if to make contact and payment before getting dre to ease settling down.

Though I still need some clarification on d bills attached, its also compulsory to pay council tax and home insurance.

Still trying to research more on what d council tax is, all I know is dre is band A and band B.

More updates to come as I know more

Na wa oo. Seems no one living in the UK has visited here or keeping it lowkey.

Come help us with our questions na.

Anyhow sha,I will be updating it small small from my little research.

@justwise, Sent you a message please kindly respond. Thanks in advance.

With this your qualification, you will stand a good chance with canada express entry if you can do the hardwork.

Researcg on NL for better info

eyele:
Big Bro, thank you very much for the wonderful information you have shared on

My Visa experience was quite tough because I found out the whole application to be rigorous with repetition of information.

I applied for Tier 2 Main applicant, General partner and General child

Having to fill the form for a family of 3 no be small task, with the repetition of answers and all. Then now came paying for IHS surcharge, what was supposed to be for a yr payment turned to 3yrs for dependant £600 as against £200 for the main applicant.

Hurdle 2 booking appointment for 3 diff individual was tough for the same day ooo. To say I was frustrated was the least.

Then came the payment wahala. My access dorm card (visa) was not accepted I had to call UKVI and trust them to charge money for every call or mail for complaints and enquiries (UK makes too much from us immigrants oo)

Thanks to all that answered my question in d Visa thread.

Lesson learnt:
1. For families fill individual application with the same portal i.e apply for someone else tab
2. Use Gtbank Mastercard attached to your dorm acct
3. Book appt for same day from UK website but register as a group with TLS dt way you are being processed together
4. Fill all information as truthfully as you can and you won't have any problem
5. Pray and make sure there are no mistakes with your documents

The application is really easy once you follow the rules to the letter.


P.S :- NARIC services is good and I did not have to write ilets for UKVI

Cc justwise, DisGuy, lexusgs430 ekpotek, Brightingsus, claremont, UKmigrant, dupyshoo

Ypu are right licensed sponsors I meant. Enjoy yourself well well at least no SARS to harass u anyhow

UKmigrant:
Doesn't have to be an A rated sponsor as long as it is an approved sponsor recognised by the home office.

The PR scheme is different from the Tier 2 Visa application because you already have a job and employer sponsoring you to the UK and the cost of applying for the visa as a family is even more costly than d PR scheme.

Also, the contract you have with the employer determines the length of your visa ranging from 6months to 3yrs den later to 5yrs.

Summary is you must get a job from an A rated sponsor to be able to apply

Nice thread oga Justwise, want to be like you when I grow up.

@Claremont please that Lesson 3, we are interested. Pls put us thru.

Also any advise on rent, jobs, childcare in scotland ( 1hr from glasgow).

Need as much information I can get. Thaks @all

Summary is Tier 1 --- 4&5yrs degree course equals AQF BAchelors degree (15pts) while Tier 2 --- 4yrs course equals Associate degree (10pts) 5yrs course AQF Bachelors (15pts). So I believe even if all this FUT is tier 2 dre courses will still be regarded as Bachelors degree.


Let the masters correct me if i am wrong ooo. #ayamalearner

ejimjesus:
Please what is the implications of schools belonging to tier 1 or 2?

Happy birthday to the olori ebi 1 of Australia PR. Many more years in good health and God's favour.

Double celebration, double blessing

The person should go with Engineering technologist. However, he/she must be ready to hit above 70points for faster ITA.

Yes you can for visa application24L/24R/27W/23S gives you 10 pts, however ACS doesnt require english test from my research oo,

@alphadoor can answer you authoritatively

Graceee:
Hello Fam
Plz can I use TOEFL instead of IElts or PTE for assessing bodies like acs and visa app too ?

Thank you for your suggestion.

justwise:
As far as i know each applicant need to apply separately.

I know close to nothing about living in Scotland but in terms of affordable accommodation, use gumtree to search and always always view any accommodation before committing your money.

The further from town centre the cheaper.

thank you for your response.

Brightingsus:
Each applicant should have their application, I think. You can then pay for group TLS appointment and have the biometrics etc as a group; same date and time

Good morning E-fam

@justwise et al please do you know or have anyone that can clarify if I will need to create separate applications for depedent of a tier 2 visa alongside the main applicant, i am getting conflicting responses.

Also, suggestions on affordable accommodation option in scotland and any general tips in living in that part. Thank you.

Nice thread @OP, I sense you are a medic

@justwise maybe a thread on Living in the UK Has to start oo and Tier 2 visa application because I have plenty questions to ask in that regard.

though the Uk student thread has helped but its difficult following school talks when its not ur calling

anyone that can help with suggestions oo before I am removed.

I just decided to mark register today sef, been reading for like 2 weeks (u go think say i get exam) now On page 200
