Wait till you receive your payslip and calculate your[b] tax and NI deductions + pension contributions[/b] ...... Then you go sabi say oyinbo no dey play ........

System here works because NL and tax, that is his health insurance, police protection, road maintenance, bin collection, public library etc.

He will not be worrying about fueling his generator, bad roads, bribing police to do their job, paying for sub-standard medical treatment, security issues.

Pension reduction is his money and his company will be paying into his pension pot as well.

So i don't know why people complain about paying tax.

MreSBee:
Hello house.... I'm back again after about a year off this forum... @Lexusgs360, @Justwise and a few people here may remember me. Anyway straight to the point, I was denied my spouse application around this time last year for discrepancies especially because we combined two jobs for my wife to meet up with the financial requirement as her main job wasn't paying up to 18,600. They had no reason to deny because everything was legit in both jobs only that my wife contradicted with her employer during the interview with the UKVI officials due to pressure and naivety. I decided not to appeal because of the time and money that will be involved.

Fast forward to present... My wife now has a job which pays well above £18,600 and will be 6 months on the job early January which means I'm preparing and waiting patiently till January to reapply. Now to start with, I have two questions for the house (I have experience in this area of spouse visa and other UK visa applications like tiers 4 and 2 but I'm sure you all will agree with me that no one knows it all).

1. Does it matter if one is in a probabtional period at work (I'm asking on behalf of the sponsor now) in order to count the six month in the new job or the counting begins after the probational period?

2. I heard someone sometimes ago saying once one uses a standard way of applying for ones first application, one cannot use priority for the subsequent applications that one can only continue to use standard. Please how true is this.... Anyone knows?

Thank you house for the anticipated support as I embark on this journey again.

1. You can start the application a month or two after the probational period(though there is no rule that i know of that prevents one from applying during that period).

2. I don't think that is true, using standard application previously does not stop one from using priority service, maybe the person who told you that can point to a specific link to support that info

MrsElendu:
Thank you @justwise and @ lexusgs360 for your prompt response when I had questions.

Just picked up my passport from the British High Commission today after a successful appeal.

Here’s my timeline, it might be of help to those going through an appeal process.

Visa refused - September 2016
Appeal hearing - August 25th 2017
Letter that appeal was allowed - September 18th 2017
Email from UKVI that they had overturned their decision -October 11th 2017
IHS fee link sent - Oct 17th 2017
Submitted passport at TLS - Oct 18th 2017
Email to collect passport from BDHC - 30th October 2017
Collected passport - 3rd November 2017

Long wait but well worth it in the end. My passport was stamped on the 23rd of October and I have 20 days to leave.

May God grant us all our heart desires, Amen

Congratulations!

I really don't like tribunal hearing because of the length of time it takes. Glad that it turns out well for you at the end.

Marvi4real, Please edit your post to remove that work history date. Santino1, Newmum0615, justwise, Einsteino please help do same with your quotes of the post.

Marvi4real:
I am not self employed o, they checked my facebook account and noticed self employed, I explained using LOe but I submitted other supporting documents like employment letter. My case is quite peculiar God was involved, I had to lie about where I work now during eapr, I started working there Feb 2017 but I filled Nov 2016 to bee able to get 3 years working experience. Though I had to package it well sha.

God is involved in your lies? This is why people don't take Nigerians who call the name of God seriously.

You lied and cheated and still have the gut to give God the glory?

adaxxy:
Hello house ,
Please my brother was on 5 years which expires end of this month and he has been away from work for past 3months with no salary during the time away from work but he's now returned back to work and has received first salary this month..
Can he apply now for renewal
And can he apply for 10 years
How many months payslips does he need 3months or ,months non at all?
Because for American visa when you do drop box you don't need all those except for your letter of introduction from your employer.
Does he have to wait to receive 3months salaries or 6months to apply for renewal
Thank you.

Why apply for visa when you hardly qualify for one?

If he waits till next 6months will the embassy move or the UK close their border to visitors?

Trump is a joke, more than 50 people were killed in las vegas shooting by a white American but Trump refused to talk about gun law and now 8 people are killed by an immigrant he is talking about cancelling visa lottery.

@ Oga Justwise... just thought to add (and I'm only saying this coz I know you can discuss this with mgt) I really believe the reason why people even bother to advertise here is because people came together and made this platform fun and vibrant in the early days hence the large followership.... It then became an attractive proposition for advertisers.

Can we pretty please find a balance where we the 'people' who just love this platform don't feel cheated? Case in point I run a page on insta with over 4K humble followers... most of them came and stayed for the info I offered and still offer for free... but I've now started getting people looking to pay for a feature (Whoop ) .... imagine if I then choose to limit posts to ONLY paid features, il loose the spirit and vibrancy of my page and it will cease to be authentic. The free info I give out helps more than harms me (if you understand what I mean)

I'm in no way telling you how to run the page, it's just that plenty of us truly love this platform and plenty as @suzyt pointed out are scared to talk..

Thanks again for listening and responding and in the meantime pls let's know what our limits are pending any change.

Many of you here keep looking at this issue from me me and we we point of view but forgetting that it cost a lot to main a website like nairaland.

People are still allowed to mention hospital they used and its up to an individual to contact that hospital for more inquiries, this thread is not only about hospitals and bills we share more important info here from individuals experiences to VO who comes in here from time to time to clear things up.

All i'm saying is that don't advertise hospital deals here because it will stop those adverting the same product from paying for ad here.

I have tried to strike a balance, i don't delete post because they mentioned a hospital name even when such post is reported, post i delete are those advertising deals directly or indirectly and making recommendations.

I ask you again..how will you feel paying for something while others are getting it for free?

shirley013:
Well justwise since urs is because of those paying ads here, what then is the importance of this thread if useful info of a budget friendly location and where to go can't be found here for those who aren't agent. W[b]e also spend our mb coming here to read and that is money generated to the owners of the platform.[/b]

In all honesty I feel pple should be able to share their experiences and drop the price. They can exclude the name of the hospital and Dr. But dropping the state Wont be bad. If one needs to get the name u can then pm the individual privately that way it won't be publicly announced.

Else the thread will be for visa and Poe transcript, not cost and procedures to birth on the USA as the name implies.
Thanks.

You will also spend the same mb researching on google or other websites.

Your visiting this forum generate traffic while in return you get free info, so its 50/50 thing.

I don't hide any post that simply mention hospital used but when the individual start giving a feedback on services received and making recommendation then the post will be gone.

I'm sorry if you don't like it but you can save your mb and pay an agent to get the info for you

Mamatukwas:
Dear @Justwise ... I need clarification on a few things, please be patient with me. I'm an old timer but was away for a while so it seems some things have changed and I don't want to run foul.

We used to be allowed to find deals or use hospitals, come here and post entire cost breakdown per location. That was what made it fun and that is what has formed the backbone of what most newbies go to research now. Is that still allowed? Or we can no longer post cost implications of new finds or personal bills for existing hospitals. I ask because sometimes you post your bills and people who have used the place can help you if you're being overcharged (personal experience from Gwinnett).

I truly get what you are saying about Agents, and I know how much I've benefited from research... but I also know how much the family here helped me and each other in the past, we didn't hoard quite as much and there was a big spirit of camaraderie even with all the mud slinging ; I.e I have read every single page from part one, but as the years passed and phones etc changed a lot of my saved info was lost, when I decided on Chicago this time it was still a kind soul here that helped me shorten the entire process and has saved me a ton.

Please as our moderator, kindly be a little bit more gentle, so we do not alienate people with genuine intentions and good hearts... i know you mean well but in recent times something (the spirit) we had before is seriously missing from the group. As for Agents and people who use them, they usually get their own reward, especially when all they do is copy and paste....

It's people that made this group what it is and it's people that will sustain it. Kindly clarify the rules again regarding posting for those of us who somehow missed the memo and Ejoo, Biko, Dan Allah don't assume the worst when we mistakenly default sometimes... Tender justice with mercy, after all you are JustWise

I hope I have been able to convince and not confuse you with these few words of mine Have a lovely day.

Yes thosedays you are referring to nairaland hasn't started pay ad system, people are allowed to post links and breakdown without no problem, but since company started paying to place an ad here its only fair that they get value for their money.

Will you be happy to be paying to place an ad here while others are allowed to promote their product freely direct or indirectly?

I'm trying to strike a balance here but unfortunately many don't get it.

foxyvisa:
@Justwise and house At the end of the application forms, there's "Additional information ". Please what do I fill, as I have no child. Trying to wrap my head around the additional information

You fill in another important info that questions in the form did not touch, information that will be material to your application.

@justwise concerning couples returning certificate in exchange for the federal version, the local government registries won't accept. Part of the reason they are still in court. They claim they are lawfully right. It's the masses that will bear the pain between the federal and local government war.

I will still use it if i'm in your position since you got married months before the legal challenge

Aphrodite007:
Ok please help me get clarity on this case @justwise. My hubby stays with his besty in a 2 bedroom duplex and their bills are exclusive and shared between both of them. Do I still need a letter from his agency stating that I can stay with him?

This is the situation i was referring to before, he needs a letter from the landlord and co-occupants since the bills are shared.
