Please, if you have been in this situation before, or have heard anyone who had been, kindly help!!!
My sister is presently doing a postgraduate programme, had a 3-month extension so he was given another COS for 5 months in order to apply for visa to cover the extension. She will finally complete her programme by middle of November.
She applied for the visa in July 2022. Her last visa expired since August. She is still awaiting response from Home Office.
Now, she has got a new job. Start date is November 20. They have issued a COS.
The question is, can she apply for the work visa even if the other visa is awaiting decision? Please help us, we don't want to waste money!!
GreyLaw: who can buy a corporation fo Your comments font appear smart at all. You think you become a billionnaire r £44 in raw cash and still be a fool or "loose Canon with thoughtless actions"? Think mate. Don't let Nairaland make you begin to write without proper reason.
Musk is a billion times smarter than you and 99% of the world. That's why he is where he is and the masses aren't. See greatness, love greatness, respect greatness except the great one does something inhumane. For now, Mr. Musk is doing what's within his rights. He bought twitter with money Nigeria doesn't even have in all her accounts and you want him to run it the way you want?
Buhari and Co ruined Nigeria by running it hopelessly and yet Nigeria doesn't have the raw cash Mr. Musk has. And yet many Nigerians don't call out her leaders as thoughtless and loose canons!
Stenvee: Please anyone who has successfully applied for a visitor's visa should help give me insight abeg or refer me to a page where it has been previously discussed. The information I have been getting is quite conflicting and I don't want to make mistakes
Omakraid: Stumbled on this thread and decided to read through only to see the above link which I quickly scurried to... Omo, dey don dey scam Nigerians no be today ooo.. Imagine the thousands of people that were scammed but trust naija, people no dey learn if e never do them...
Kudos on your stance in that thread, you Nd those other guys
Zahra29: I'm not saying they are racist, but what I do know is that racism does not automatically equal stupidity
The MPs knew that if they didn't choose the person they thought could deliver (whatever his colour) then they could face an early general election and with the polls as they are, get wiped out completely.
So even a racist (if any ) would choose the brown man over unemployment
Another angle is that the Tories love/respect money, and RS is said to be even wealthier than the king - not your regular brown man. Success has no enemies. It's difficult to victimise or discriminate against someone who could literally buy the whole of parliament. Levels.
Zahra29: They didn't have much to choose from though from the candidates who stepped forward.
Alexander was a no go and they couldn't risk another woman (and blond again! ) so soon after the last woman was regarded as a disastrous disaster lol
So RS became their best and only option.
They do but he got more support than the other two, my point is..if this is all about racism then they would have gone for white candidate no matter who bad those other white candidates are.
phyl123: You should have included all my statements regarding this discussion, not just this bit.
Rushi should have been chosen the first time over Liz because everyone knew he could do the job. Liz was not chosen based on capability.
They had no choice, they have messed up and needed someone to clear up the mess. They were desperate because they were loosing money by the day in investments.
This happens all the time, you go for an interview, they pick a white person over you. That person messes up and they call you in to clean the mess. ( I’m talking from personal experience).
Yea of course i know you will come up with another excuse, they had other choices but Sunak got more support than the other two who are all white!! Sunak is still brown skinned remember?
phyl123: Everyone knows this but the English are not ready for a brown skin prime minister Even if the party had chosen him they will loose the general election. Those two Uncle Sam they gave positions are just for camouflage.
pufframmy: i just got my msg too, some minutes ago too am affected by this and so very painful to me cause my flight have been booked and there is no how i can get refund now?
I feel your pain, booking a flight before getting the visa is always risky which is why embassies discourages it.
The cancellation could be related to that article above..its security related...

phyl123: Anyone working in the uk If you earn between the Primary Threshold and the Upper Earnings Limit, then you will pay the standard rate of National Insurance (13.25% in 2022/23) on your earnings over the Primary Threshold. The Primary Threshold in 2022/23 is £190 per week to 5 July 2022 then £242 from 6 July 2022.
Nothing to do with the colour of your skin but how much you earn.
Exactly! So Nigerians also earn and pay that 13% this include those families coming as dependant. After paying IHS as part of visa requirement they still pay 13% when they get here and start working. Then you have some people turned up to moan about Nigerians abusing the system.
mescanayo: Pls gurus in the house; 1. Please house how do I get bank account details of HULL to make deposit via Form A. 2. Please which do I need to go to bank at any stage during the Form A process? Thank you for you kind response.
Email the school to obtain their bank details else scammers will send you one and your money will be gone
Gemma11: Stop gaslighting here in order to defend your lies as I have no said that.
To reiterrate I have only spoke out against fake Nigerian students who are abusing the system so stop. As I said, it appears you are one of them this is why you are so adamant in trying to shut me down.
Gemma11: Old age British citizens are not using the Spanish healthcare system as they are not sick. Most times they own properties and and businesses over there which generate taxes. Unlike fake Nigerian citizens they are not going there with a truckload of dependents taking up places in schools and other amenities meant for Spanish born children of citizens who have paid taxes. Stop comparing apples with oranges.
This is just ridiculous coming from you, of course they do, so when they are sick to return to the UK for treatment?
Many Nigerians students who paid truckload of £££ into the system before coming here don't even use NHS but they paid for it. They all work to pay into the system.
Nigerians are not lazy, probably the most hard working immigrants in the UK, typical example is your parents, they worked hard hence the reason you are here today talking property they helped you with.
You clearly got no clue how the system work, you are just repeating daily mail talking points
Gemma11: Old age British citizens move to Spain to enjoy their hard earned pensions in the sun. They don't go on student visa with no intention of studying so this your useless defence no dey make sense. Please sit this one out.
Old aged Nigerian student are spending thousands of ££££ to bring their family through student visa, its their own way of improving their lives.
Why did those old aged British citizens enjoy their pension in the UK? Why travel to Spain to put pressure on their hospitals and end-of-life facilities? At lease these Nigerians and their families can still work and contribute to the system while old aged British citizens in Spain are only there to be cared for.
