ogakpatakpata: @Justwise........thanks for restoring sanity to the forum.

Proudlygemini: Thank you very much for your help Mr. Target007 and Mr just wise.
If making my application here is the best way to go then thats fine, but wouldn't i need to submit my passport with the application? How then would i be able to travel while waiting for my decision? Thank you

target007: Well, if you checked the Form FLR(M) url=http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/applicationforms/flr/guideflrm1020091.pdf]here[/url]

Proudlygemini: Thanks very much for you reply. Please Mr.Justwise are you very sure?

target007: oga @justwise, the interpretation is rather the reverse, you cannot apply if you are here illegally, as visitors, or on temporary admission or temporary release...it is not possible to apply for spouse visa while in the UK on a tourist/visitor visa.

Proudlygemini: Thanks very much for you reply. Please Mr.Justwise are you very sure?

I am making changes to the rules for dependants in the Points Based System and other work routes, following the High Court judgment in R (on the application of Zhang) v Secretary of State for the Home Department. The changes will allow dependants to apply from within the UK, providing they are not here illegally, as visitors, or on temporary admission or temporary release. They will still need to satisfy all other existing requirements.

coogar: yes, they are.....
and they have not been replaced by the other divide so why not join the reigning crew instead of pitching tents with the crew that are not part of the decision makers in the country.

i will rather wait 3 years at home to get into a russell group school than go elsewhere. the rewards are unlimited home & away. i like to be treated as the main priority not some second fiddle.

coogar: who said manchester uni isn't a good school? i went to manchester uni myself & it's one of the 24 schools in the russell-group. are we on the same page here?

manchester uni is a top top school -

coogar: you want to compare the job hunt in 2003 to 2013? you are having a laugh. as at the time i was graduating, i am not even sure i applied for any job. the scouts during those career sessions in school already had my number & it was a direct link to the first job i got. times have changed now. there are more applicants than jobs so your CV has to be very sound & potent!!!



the same class issue exists in the selection process in the interview stage. of course, a student from IMSU might be better than the one at cambridge but it's the cambridge applicant that will land the job. your cousin's circumstance is an exception, not the norm. even various factors apply - his school might have been the best of the lots that took the interview.



manchester - the best uni in the UK.



be deceiving yourself....

miz Gene: I beg to differ. Generally going to a Russell grp Uni can give one an edge in the job market esp in the UK, but Every industry: health, Biz, law, aeronautics etc has its own grp or list of schools which are very strong in their area of expertise. And der are lots of schools dt will give the Russell grp a stiff competition.
Secondly, I dnt think Nigerian employers care or even know what the Russell grp is! because frankly der r very few intl trained grads and dy don't hv dt luxury of picking Kcl over uop.

coogar: if you can't afford it, stay at home or go do ACCA instead of wasting £20k per session going to a school that will not benefit you in the end. is university a must? aren't there associate certifications one can get apart from degrees? this your advice is not cool at all.

your journey doesn't even end in the interview stage. FTSE companies send scouts to hunt students even before you complete your degree program. seriously, i will not advise anyone to go to a substandard school because you cannot afford to get into a top school. wait at home, save more money then get into a good school when your money is right.

adaobi123: Yeye ke ? I liked the pharmacy school in portsmouth. The lecturers and facilities were really good.[b]It all depends on the individual tbh.

I'm 100000% the interviewers will throw some academic questions at me. Its time to get preparing !

But like miz Gene said there are other good universities aside the Russell group.[/b]

coogar: don't go to any yeye school o...UoP? i'd rather join a karate school & forget university education entirely. those aren't good schools - it's like going to DELSU in nigeria when there are top schools like OAU, UI, UNILAG, ABU, etc.

make sure you do well in the interview for KCL. it's a good school that will help your career opportunities in the next 4 years. your choices should be limited to the 24 universities(russell group) - which KCL belongs to. any other school is a waste of your time, money & perhaps gambling with your future.

Eyinoluwalogo: Hello House

Please could you help me with the email address for the Sheffield visa office?

I am trying to chase up on an appeal for a spousal visa refusal.

I have tried looking in previous posts but can't seem to find it.

Thank you

Proudlygemini: I cam across the post and wanted to ask a few questions. Does this mean that someone with a general visitor visa for 2years can switch to a spouse visa while in the uk. Reason i'm asking is because my husband is british and we plan on settling in the uk soon, he wants me to extend my tourist visa to 2years and while i'm in th uk switch to d spouse category. pls is this possible and what do u advise

velagala: hello ,

I have applied for UK settlement visa today (wife) in Hyderabad.
I have submitted all the required documents as well.
My husband is British citizen and he works for the BAE systems and we have got married on oct 18th 2013.
The vfs representative took all the documents and asked me leave after the biometrics .
Later she called me saying that i have to fill up another application form which she forgot and she just gave me 30min.
And i totally messed up ,instead of writing my husbands annual income as 35000, i wrote 85000.
That is the worst thing to do
Can i appeal now or call them or email ??
is that gonna help??
pls answer
Thanks in advance
