@nairaland family living in the UK, abeg i need tips on getting a part time job ooh. I'm in IT but most IT jobs are full time styled jobs so its really hard getting part time jobs in IT. But las las its something to pay the bills really. I'm looking for something within the Slough-London-Kent axis or there about. If y'all got tips or hook-ups abeg I wont mind ideas ASAP. @justwise @zoey1 i know i'm always on your matter abeg @fatima01 pls come.

Part time IT job on a student visa? If you want to pay your bills then start looking for warehouse jobs, customer service jobs, care jobs, security jobs, cleaning jobs etc

Good evening everyone, I'm new to this thread, but i have a few things bothering me, I'm still on the process applying for admission into a Uk university, while the filling the application form, i got to a point about my education background, i was told to select my result,i only saw two options which are 'Select option and p' i just wanna know if i shouldn't be worried about it. @justwise

I don't understand what you mean there

Lateef9699:
I applied for superpriority today but I could not book appointment online as there is no available slot on the website. It shows sold on the already booked appointments and did not show any time on other dates. Can I do walk in tomorrow even if I am unable to book an appointment.

I'm not sure if that works but you can try that and go with your receipt of payment

Lateef9699:
It has started since 20th of Jan. I lost my grandma second week of January and I requested for extension due to this which has been approved till 7th of February.

Then use Super Priority if you can afford it or prospond your admission

Lateef9699:
please, i am trying to book an appointment on the tls website but all the dates are showing sold. i intend to use walk in so i want to choose any available date, but the other dates i can see are not showing any time? and i cannot check out without booking appointment. please what can i do

When is your course starting?

Hi everyone I just got to the UK,last week. Only to find out that my agent didn't pay for my accommodation fees because i told them i will be staying on campus. And i just lost my dad recently, taken a loan from the family account will or might take a long process.

So I want to ask, if Im unable to pay for the accommodation fee or next school fees will i be deported?

That is possible, though some school may allow you to graduate but no certificate until you pay up.

@justwise

They have processed your application and its on the way to you.

Lateef9699:
Please, for clarity purpose, does this mean I can submit today.

You can.

Lateef9699:
He is trying to be sure that everything is in order. Can i submit the application today then print tomorrow but the statement will be 29 days today.

Lateef9699:
I am a bit confused about the 28 days counting. I need to ask this question in order not to make mistake in my application. The complete money entered my account on the 2nd of january, will my 28th day fall on 30th of january or 31st of january? please guys, help me with this.

Any of those two days will be fine.

Lateef9699:
with the assisted service, i will upload everything at the center

The same thing, uploading everything at the centre will not fast ward the date in your bank statement, the same 28days rule applies.

I really don't know why your sponsor is having problem with 28days counting and rules.

Maclee10:
Hello the gurus in the house, I got to know about this trend after i submitted my application at the uk embassy in Northern cyprus
i am an international student here in Northern cyprus , i got an invite from my Aunt in the uk which i submited along with other documents required. The only thing Im bothered about is my application is the fact that i stated that 1000euros is what i budgeted for my trip

I'm really confused at the moment , wondering if 1000euros isnt too much for 2weeks visit

Can you defend the source of that 1000euros and why the trip will cost you 1000euros?

Lateef9699:
I want to use the assisted service. @Justwise, should I continue with the application.

My question is..with the assisted service will you not submit/upload bank statement?

Lateef9699:
My sponsor does not agree that tomorrow is the 29th day. He does not want a situation that will lead to refusal on financial ground.

Will you not upload it as well?

Lateef9699:
Please I need help on this. My bank statement will be ready for printing tomorrow but I will be printing the day after. Can I start and submit the application process tomorrow and hope this does not matter?
Justwise and other gurus in the house, please help with this.

Why are not printing tomorrow?

desmedallion:
JUSTWISE thanks for all your incessant replies to my questions but please, If someone receives a mail from UKVI that his application has been sent to his VAC ikeja does that mean that his documents is ready for.collection..as in will my documents be there without waiting for the vac to tell me that they have received it.?

That is possible

kaddy162:
My mum and step dad will be sponsoring my trip to the United Kindgom with all there document and payslip and they will also include and invite with my mum Nigerian bank stamens so I need to provide my bank statement

1. Do you work, run your own business or studying?

Damzydaymond19:
Goodevening justwise and everyone on this thread, pls am new here. I want to submit my Visit visa application in March for Easter in April... every other thing are in other except my bank statement which is giving me concern...there are lot of irregularities in my account for the past three month because I just came back from Dubai. Although am not working in any firm but am a fashion designer. Although I just intend to start funding my account for the purpose of this visit Visa. My question is.

Will it be okay to start the funding now and apply for the Visa in March providing them with just 3 months statement. Or i should wait then run my account properly for 6 months before applying for the visa

Where will the money be coming from? Source of your income is very important and your ability to support your income with evidence.

3months bank statement is not the standard, 6 months is.

Lateef9699:
Okay. Thank you Justwise. Also, if I print the bank statement by 30th of January, can I submit my Visa application in the evening of same 30th

Sure you can

LagosismyHome:
I mean applying for Visa and not travelling....

But if you say they take it for Visa application without the other parent applying, then that good to know

Definitely for both

Anitaamich:
So my husband can apply with dependent visa and travel with us and still go back once we’re settled? They don’t really care whether the dependent will live in uk right?? Please I just want to be sure

Your husband doesn't have to travel with you if he is gainfully employed and would not want to leave his job, in that case you have to make care arrangement and secure appropriate accommodation then with a consent letter from your husband which will also include reasons why he couldn't travel with you people..his job or business could be one of the reasons but he can still apply for visiting visa later to visit your people.

LagosismyHome:
Consent letters are not accepted ....

Why not? Definitely important to include consent letter when traveling without the other parent.

Please JUSTWISE I have an important question please, is it possible for someone's visa to be out but you will not receive a mail from VAC?

Yes

Monmarri:
As far as I am concerned, I am not complicating any issues for him please. All these evidence is what my cousin used for her fiancé visa last year and it was successful. She attached all emails of communication with photography, registry etc and receipt of wedding gowns and rings. It is left for the poster to choose the ones he wants.

I know that marriage certificate and pictures are the most important thing but get enof proof for it.,the certificate and pictures are for spouse visa. T[b]he poster needs evidence to show he is coming to the UK to do his wedding under fiancé visa.

[/b]

Receipt of wedding gown and email exchange with photographer or even with pastor are not evidences to be used.

Op use this link to gather needed documents https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse

By the way..don't waste money applying for fiance visa, get married in Nigeria then apply for spouse visa

Monmarri:
:[/b] This is evidence on coming to get married in the UK. Wedding gown receipt are one of the evidence.

Nothing is complicated at all in this fiancé visa details. Better to give enof proof. What the poster is applying is fiancé visa not spouse visa. Fiancé visa one need to show all evidence that the person is coming to wed in the UK. Kindly read the poster first post please.

No you are complicating issues for him, you added too many unnecessary things on the list.

Who told you that wedding gown receipt is an evidence that you are going to get married? One can wear anything to get married in the registry or even borrow the wedding gown.

Marriage certificate is the most important document there then few pictures from the wedding.

Monmarri:
1. on the issue of work, would the foreign fiancee be able to work once they get married/convert to the spouse visa? :- The foreign fiance will be able to work once the person convert to spouse visa. Your spouse visa have permit to work but no recourse to public funds.

would this process cost any additional money:- The process will cost you additional £1000 pound and more. The finance visa and spouse visa is the same fees when applying in your home country. The only difference is that fiancé visa u d'nt pay NHS which is about £1200 but when u convert to spouse visa in the UK , u will pay for the NHS fees. And also when u apply for fiancé visa u are paying double the fees. I.e after paying for fiancé visa in your home country, when u want to covert to spouse visa in the UK, u will still have to pay the same visa. Then for fiancé visa when u are in the UK , u can not access the NHS for free, u will have to pay for it, which is expensive.

2. How long does this initial fiancee visa take and what is the estimated success rate all things being equal? The fiancé visa takes the same time with spouse visa. It is depending on the one u want, for standard application is 60working days while pirority is 30working days. Note: There is a fees of £500 if u want pirority service.

The estimate success rate is very successful if your partner meets all the requirements which is meeting the financial requirement of £18,600 , accommodation, proof of relationship etc.

3. What are the major requirements(docs) from both foreign fiancee and uk citizen?

SPONSOR : UK citizen
1. Last 6 months Bank statement showing salary being paid in
2. Contract letter from employer stating job title, employment start date and salary
3. P60 end of year certificate.
4. Tenancy agreement
5. council tax
6. water/electric bill
7. All pages of passport photocopied

Proof of relationship
1. Whatsapp chat log
2. phone call history
3. emails
4. Pictures (dated and captioned)
5. flight tickets
7. passport page stamps
8. hotel and holiday bookings
9. Receipts of engagement ring

PROOF OF INTENDING MARRIAGE
1. Venue booking and contract
2. Photographer/videographer booking and contract
3. Caterer/ decorator booking
4. Wedding cake booking
5. Wedding Dress and suit receipts
Note:- U have to show proof that u are getting married in the UK.

APPLICANT (Foreign fiancé)
1. recent Passport (original), all visa pages and stamp entries
2. Test of English. U can do NARIC certificate if you have a university degree.
3. Tuberculosis Certificate Original dated within 6 months of application (the only approved certificate is from Migration Health Assessment centre, you call them, book an appointment, ask for most recent cost, pay into their account, print and carry proof of payment.

4. in the event that marriage dont occur within six months, can the fiancee convert to other class of visa say study visa or something?. If marriage did not occur within six months, then after your six-months visa, u are expected to leave the UK. The fiancé visa can not be converted to any other visa only spouse visa by meeting the requirements.

A lot of things in this list are not needed.

This is just making an application over complicated.

You can present only council tax receipts or other utility bills.

You don’t photocopy all passport pages, just the front ,data page and any page with stamped trip to Nigeria or boarding pass/flight ticket for that trip.

Wedding pictures especially the one with both families and few personal ones with your wife.

No need to show wedding gown and all that you put on that list.

Aryafucksfinaly:
Lol... Why not?

2 yrs post-study-work permit does not mean you are anywhere closer to pr by any means.

Aryafucksfinaly:
Me I am just after the proposed 2-year post-graduate work permit. If one can just secure the funds for a one-year Masters, then you're as good as close to possessing a PR.

You are not

Darvick:
Why about people that applied for it and got less years. Because you are lucky to get it means what bro. What is the percentage success rate of such ? Trust me they won’t give you doesn’t mean they don’t issue it, how’s that misleading. Come on let’s advise on possibility/success not probability/failure. This is what is killing us in Nigeria we work towards high risk coz that thing happened once or twice.

Just like people advising don’t bother to apply for US visit visa for now coz you won’t get it. It’s just an opinion doesn’t mean the person can’t get it. It’s just a way to explain it’s very hard to get. They won’t issue it is different from they do not issue it, you are a typical example with mentality of brother is same as step brother.

Only God knows what goes on in your head.
