Guys I just want to encourage everyone on this journey not to give up, It's not easy at all, my very very long journey came with a lot of headache, sacrifices, mental and financial breakdown but today I share my testimony with everyone, it feels so unreal and my prayer is that everyone on this journey will finally testify in Jesus name, Amen

And thank you to everyone who in one way or the other contributes to the success of this forum, you guys are the real hero.

Good afternoon and happy sunday all. Please i recently switched employer on skilled visa and need to apply for a new BRP. I have been checking online with no headway, i would greatly appreciate information on the steps or on how to apply. Thanks

Goodly1:
Hi everyone, please if someone submitted a bank statement, printed on the day of visa application, but covering more than 28 days, like up to 2 months statement, is it wrong?

In essence, is it wrong if someone's bank statement is showing a transaction period of up to 2 months, printed & submitted the same day? Thanks.

Goodly1:
ADVICE NEEDED!

My friend got an NSF email from DMC that the CoS she applied for her visa with is not the type meant for those applying for entry clearance. They said the employer should assign her a "Defined" CoS and she should send the new CoS ref number to DMC within 10 working days.

Employer said they'll look into it. Please what's the best way forward for her, considering that a new CoS can take a long time to be ready? I don tire to dey comfort person.

bendovex:
Please guys, what's the fastest way to get a police clearance certificate and how much does it cost? I advise on this please as I don't want to fall into wrong hands.

cejo:

deji300:
What does it mean

adespecial:
I am also in thia shoes and I can tell you the waiting is realling frustrating and tiring. Just as he advised, kindly occupy your mind and keep praying and hoping it comes out.

If i may ask pls, do you think it is advisable to go ahead with visa application if cos comes out on Jan ending or 1st week of Feb considering the new ukvi policy that is expected to commence by spring.

Hello good people,

Please help me with how to go about a nursing course in Nigeria. My wife is interested in the profession but do not know how to go about it. I googled and saw it that it requires a minimum of 3 years to complete. Note that we want to use it to travel to a good country outside Nigeria after the completion.

Guys please help us with a step to step guide on how to go about it bikonu.

Poanan:
Home office may never understand. Anything that makes them visit that file they may not want to understand. They may go as far as making the employer face one sanction or the other but that will no exonerate the individual.
