Please, do you have such a person? I have a family in the UK that can help me recieve it.

Be carefully...i mean very careful who you trust with your money online...if you don't know this person personally then think long and hard about this

moomanpg:
Well I think Uber is not self employed from my understanding of this article from UK VISA in the link below.

https://www.ukcisa.org.uk/blog/6257/A-working-definition

Do you mind explaining your understanding of that article in particularly regarding self employment?

toyclicks:
Uber would have been the thing for me
I wanted to even get an international driver's license before leaving
But on learning about its contradiction to tier 4 rules

Don't think about it, look for a straightforward job and stay within the law, when you graduate and get PSW what you do with that two years is up to you.

mimilyrics:
If he has to work as a taxi driver, it should be more like a part-employment where the employer treats him like an employer, not an independent contractor. Plus if the company is deducting the driver's NI contributions and tax and remitting to HMRC for the driver and evidenced in a pay slip, it can't be termed a gig economy job anymore.

Uber drivers termed gig economy because they are responsible for paying their own taxes and National Insurance contributions and must also complete a self-assessment tax return each year. Any job that allows you to do this falls under self-employment.

I'm don't know about blueline taxi but it depends largely on the employment terms as outlined above.

That is unlikely to work with tax driving, if you are a tax driver you either own your car or you hire one and you will need business insurance to do that. Applying for business insurance as a foreign student shows that you are about to circumvent your student visa rules

Working part time as a taxi driver does not mean working 20hrs a week, working as a taxi driver as a foreign student will be regarded as self employment.

AWFCNAIJA:
Please I need expert opinions... Does working from home (online on freelance platforms), irrespective of the number of hours or amount of money made in the process invalidate the terms of a Tier 4 Visa?

Not a good idea considering the consequences if you get caught.

I just tried using ace money for the first time and below is my review.

They asked me for way too many PII

They didn't give me an option to pay with card or send the money to an account.

They were providing a browser within the app for me to login to my bank via trustly ( or something).

At this point I japka and return to azimos 488 per pound

Maybe they have changed but that was not my experience, i was able to pay with my card but i couldn't pay directly from my bank account

BouharryArtikou:
You want to descend on me for offering my advice?
Descend, as in Descend?

Did I insult or abuse you in any way?

You said anyone who has experience. And you want to descend on me for helping out from my own experience?

Justwise. You are a moderator on this forum. Hasn’t this guy broken rule no 3?

If you want me to ban him for that then I have to ban you for this as well....

BouharryArtikou:
Shut up, you.
You keep asking stupid questions. And people are taking their time to answer. And you have the gumption to accuse someone of being too harsh?
Yes, you cannot be spoon-fed.

BouharryArtikou:
You may not like it, but there is nothing wrong with me pointing someone to the source for information.
Is there something wrong with asking someone to get knowledge, rather than opinion?

BouharryArtikou:
Please I am new here.
I just got admission to the University of Cambridge. I had applied to Oxford too. Is Cambridge a good university? Or do I wait and see the Oxford outcome?
Thanks for your suggestions please

Last year you came here to ask this question up here, why did you not contact Cambridge university to ask this question?

fakmurphy:
Thanks for your help. Y[b]ou have always been a good source of information for me since 2014.

[/b]

Yes i recognized your ID from the previous issue about your company's trip to the UK

Good luck

Donracy:
Thank you sir. Gracias

Feel free to ask any question here, sometimes people come here to ask question to get first hand answer or to be reassured about something.

We don't know it all and never claimed to.

fakmurphy:
Thanks, they have already offered me the admission unconditionally. I was engaged in a 15 minutes video interview and they had me filled a CAS questionnaire prior to getting the offer.

Ok good, then your problem is almost non-existence, in your visa application just briefly mention why you are embarking on second masters, its only natural for people to wonder why you need a second masters and only you knows why and that is what you need to explain.

You also likely to be asked the same question during your visa application interview.

fakmurphy:
Hello, pros in the house. I need your advice because I'm in a dilemma. This is my situation; I finished a Masters degree in the UK in 2015 and I have been working in Nigeria ever since. Recently, I received like 4 PhD unconditional offers from unis in the UK { after tedious application and interviews), and a 2 years MBA from one notable uni in the UK.

Left to me, I'd prefer to enrol for the MBA ( as a business owner). My question; How certain is it to secure a tier 4 visa for a second masters? ( I'm applying from Nigeria). I have read on gov.uk that anyone applying outside of the UK doesn't need to show academic progression when applying for a second Masters for instance but I still need first hand information.

Your advice will really be helpful.

Your problem will not be necessarily wit the embassy, its your school, you need to convince your school why you need a second masters if they gave you an admission then you can use the same reason for visa application.

Donracy:
@Duchess90 @Mimilyrics @Justwise @Skymoore1004 etc.. Please to whom it may concern

Please oh how much does banks charge before they issue you Reference letter to back up your account statement? Fidelity Bank precisely.

Any idea please.

Reference letter is not necessary, submit your bank statement if the embassy is in doubt they know how to verify it

themaestro08:
I hate to tell you but the op aim is to taunt Nigerians (by reversely showing them how bad their country is)

I don't think so. This anti mask wearing is a trendy thing and many conspiracy theorists are up for it

MizMary:
So the thing is that we lost our dad 1 month before she travelled.
The burial and everything was done before she came to England...

Do you have the death certificate to support that? I'm guessing she has the visa before the husband death?

MizMary:
Hello justwise and all the gurus in the house.
Please I have some questions.
My mum came to the UK on a visit visa to see me and eventually stayed the whole of 6 months.this was because I lost my dad 1 month before her travel date,and we just needed her to fully grieve and recover ( She was initially meant to stay just 3 months).
This was also complicated by the COVID situation in UK.
Now she left England in March and we now want to apply for her to come again.
1. What do you think about us applying for her visa again in just 6 months of her return to Nigeria?
2. Would it be an issue that she stayed in UK for almost 6 months instead of the 2 months initially stated?
3.My dad wrote her a letter of support during her last application(attaching evidence too).
Now that he has passed on, would it be a disadvantage to her?
4.All the geniuses, pls how best do I have to frame my cover letter explaining what happened in a way to convince the ECO reviewing her application.
Thanks everyone!!

1. I think that is too early to apply for another visa considering what happened with the first visa

2. Yes it will be an issue, she stayed 4months longer than what she stated in her application, though she lost her husband but that should have made her return to Nigeria even quicker than staying even more in the UK

3. It doesn't matter

4. Your biggest problem here is to explain to the ECO why she stayed that long, yes she lost her husband but i don't think that that excuse will fly because she should have returned home immediately that happens rather than staying back even as her husband did not die in the UK.

Acuna91:
Hello pros in the house

The maintenance + school fees money will be in your account for 28 days before which application? Visa application? Or your actual interview date?

Also for someone that is applying for a two years masters, is it also compulsory to show both IST year and 2nd year tuition together?

Please anybody that have a genuine answer should help with a response. Thanks

duchess90 Has answered your question

Bevista:
Stop trying to be clever by half. More tests will only increase the number of cases but will not increase the number of deaths.

And let's not even start with the acclaimed Covid-19 deaths cos if comorbifity issues are addressed, the real number of Covid-19 deaths will go down significantly.

Are you this bad? Increase number of cases will not lead to increase number of deaths?

I blame Trump for this sort of reasoning.

@pharuk

mattfeuter:
What’s there to be bothered about ? Death comes to us all, the only question is time.

Apart from at school, there are many places that corona can be contracted.

My only concern is that this virus is contiguous else....

mattfeuter:
This is what we are unsure of, if it’s just for a semester, then it’s fine , otherwise, it’s just not worth it to me.

And on the talk of catching corona and dying, people die everyday. . . Whether it is in Nigeria or the uk

So that doesn't bother you then? If that is the case then feel free to apply to a school that will expose you to the danger of getting infected after-all people die anyway

mattfeuter:
You’d consider paying all that money to study online when so many unis are offering Hybrid learning ?

Well..will you consider paying all that money, traveled all the way to UK to catch coronavirus and possibly die of it?

The online study could be just for one semester or the arrangement may change even before that.

lampstand:
Hello house,

I am not sure what is happening I need advice.

I just got an email from my school that the course I was admitted to has been suspended ( mind you I have already paid 4000 pounds and in process of applying for CAS). Though I was offered another course which to me is not a problem.

In the new admission letter it was stated that the course will be conducted ONLINE, and that induction and welcome will be on campus.

Please I am a bit worried, is this not going to be an issue when I finally apply for my visa?

I am thinking of applying to a new school at the moment.

Please I have a HND should anyone with info on schools I can apply to for Masters or PG program in Finance, Accounting or Bus Admin, do send me link.

Thank you very much and good luck to everyone.

I doubt, the embassy will be aware of this, to me i will consider this offer.

dep07:
Did I put any contact details?

You asked people to contact you.

dep07:
just wise, you deleted my comment.Did I ask anyone to give me money or buy ticket from me?
Please don't make baseless accusations.
Will I organise evacuation flights from Nairobi?
You should have asked questions.

I removed your post for adverting

Not everyone posting here wants to help..some are here to take advantage of people.

garuskoko:
I need a realistic on the ground analysis of how much a student can decently live on while studying outside of London (for me I am going to Derby)

My question is, can a student who has paid his tuition in full before leaving Nigeria live ( student standard life) while earning 800 pounds per month?

Or is 800 pounds not just enough for anyone to live on. Are there people who are able to make savings from this money?

If you walk to school, get £500 a month room with bills included and you don’t have bad shopping habit then you will be fine

trishvik1:
hello my people, please i need you help cause my head is about to explode pleaseee. I have few questions

1. I came to the uk on student visa last year sept and course due date is Sept this year (m.sc) but was accused for academic misconduct and my mark was marked 0 for a research topic (one my modules)and compulsory training must be done, please have anybody had this befor and what does compulsory training mean? does it mean I have to repeat a year?

2. my plan was to do a second masters so I can qualify for psw, since I have not yet gotten my final results can I switch to a new school as I hav gotten offer? or do I request for a pgc instead and move to a new school? am here with my dependant kid as well.

3. please can someone explain to me how to go about my 2nd masters application and the entire process please. I have an offer for Sept start and January start but my visa expires January 18th. which is the best time to apply?

please help!!!

Contact your school for clarification and see if you can redo the course then you can work things out from them, if your visa is running out i think you can get an extension to enable you repeat the course.

Work with your school on this to sort it out.

If you are not guilty of the allegation then you can appeal their decision.

Ahmed4002:
That's the problem. To have the numbers we need, I would also process a permit as well from the Nigeria civil aviation or Nigeria foreign affairs, it's easy to get.

If that is your problem then ask people who are interested to indicate here then when you have the number you need you can pm them your number to arrange how to meet physical to sort it out
