Double your hustle, bro. That is the poverty mentality in you speaking. If God blesses your hustle, taking a very good care of your 2 children won’t seem a DIE affair to you, with or without a wife. What does it cost to properly raise a child in the UK per annum? Is that worth sacrificing one’s life or peace of mind over?

Do you have a problem when a matured woman with her family members come and beg a man to allow a woman back into the house even though the money to build the house came from both? This is what happens frequently in Nigeria.

I will love to hear from the wife before coming to any conclusion.

However, whether it is a matured man or matured woman, nobody should be too big to say sorry and beg if you are at wrong. There is nothing insulting about saying sorry when you have offended your spouse.

See advices throwing up and down

So marriage is now a do or die affair

Amen, I really appreciate the love u guys have given so far.

u all don't know the value of it all to me

Na so o. As if it is very easy to be going through lawyer palaver. I can imagine the stress he will go though and the money he will spend with no guarantee of success. A lot of lawyers are just after money with no clue of what the immigration law says.

My advice for him is to try and reconcile with his wife and also look at this senior care worker route of getting skilled worker visa sponsorship. He might be able to get that done within 6 months.

i love ur spirit but I if u u what I have done to make the home bro am sure some of us here cannot do half of it.

Thank u

STENON:
Thank you all for the advice. We actually invited her to come over for holiday and tourism and we wrote a supporting statement that she is definitely going back to continue her work. The bank statement was the main issue as pointed out. Is it wise to re-apply but without using the bank statement again?

STENON:
Goodafternoon. I applied for my younger sister for 6 months visiting visa but she was refused. She is a graduate, worked with a private hospital in Nigeria for 1 year prior to January 2021. She left her job, moved to stay with my Parents as Home Care Assistant because they are old and now wanted to visit for holiday. I and My husband are sponsoring her trip but I was disappointed based on the reason for refusing her visa. Why are they interested in her bank details ??

tushqueen:
Hello,

I have a question, please can someone who is on a visitors's visa apply for jobs and attend interviews? He is a healthcare professional who has license to practice in the UK but finding it difficult to get interviews in Nigeria. He thinks having a UK phone no and address will help boost his chances of getting a job that can issue him CoS.

Will this work? Can he attend interviews with a visitor's visa?

Preshyi:
Unconditional offers? I guess getting original certificate is a must, really trying to skip that.

profemebee:
hi hi,

Has anyone traveled from UK to Naija with Air France recently? i hear there is a transit visa one needs.. how easy is it to get?

Also, Nigeria where you do covid test on Day7, what if the Day7 falls on a weekend or you're to travel back to the UK on Day 8 or 9.. can you use the same Day7 PCR since it is within 72hrs of departure from Nigeria?

collinsfbi:
Please my cousin want to apply for visa after getting CAS but the site is redirecting to pay immigration health surcharge of $1005.09 pls for those who has applied, is this the normal procedure ?

STENON:
Travelling from Nigeria to London Heathrow, please what is the cheapest and easiest route with stop over ? I am tired of reading all these quarantine rules for red and Amber countries �

Preshyi:
Hello guys,
I am new here and dont know if this question has been asked previously. Please what's the best and most affordable option for the day 2 and 8 Covid test?

SamReinvented:


Yes. You won’t be allowed to board if you don’t have it. The guide on how to go about it is in the pop up you’ll see when you get on NCDC COVID-19 portal: https://covid19.ncdc.gov.ng/

Try to get this sorted as soon as possible, because there’s been several complaints that the online payment can take too long to reflect.

LagosismyHome:


No, its not longer allowed... had to use the boot inshore test version which is £89 or there about

Regex:


The whites will not even open the door of its someone they do not know... So what gives?

@Bolded, not sure it is that hard to save 3 times monthly salary. Especially if you are not staying in London or any of the big cities. Where I live, you can get a 3 bed house for £500- £600 or mortgage of about £350-£400.
Imagine, a couple with a take home of £5k and expenses of about 2k-3k. They can easily save 2k per month

I think it's all about contentment. Use credit cards as debit cards and don't buy what you can't afford.

Hi @thegurus

I am lost on what to do...

My husband and I have both studied and lived in the UK some years back before moving back to Nigeria 4 years ago before our visa expired. However, we are both coming back to the UK in September for his PhD studies while I come on as a dependent.

I do not know how to say this but I have to. During my stay, i took an unsecured loan and credit card loan from a UK bank and I didn't pay it off before I left the UK and I totally forgot about it while in Nigeria. i recently logged into my UK bank account this week and I saw the deficits. There was no official mail from the bank during the years I was in Nigeria so I wasn't in the know. Although i should have remembered that I didn't complete the payment so it's all my fault.

I tried to access my credit score and as expected, it has been impacted and I observed that the money has been passed off to a collection agency.

I would like to know if

1. I can contact the collection agency and find a way to pay off the deficits or have some kind of a structured repayment plan.

2. As my husband and I are both coming to the UK this September, can this affect us from securing accommodation in the future, especially when they do a credit check on our documents?

I would really appreciate your response and I do hope to be able to clean up this mess I created.

So, the moral of the story is that you may actually find more decent people in Nigeria than some Nigerians living in the UK.

Good day everyone,
I urgently need the services of a barber (preferably Nigerian/African). I live in Birmingham (B13), I have a job interview scheduled for tomorrow and I'd like to look as professional as possible. I just arrived here(in Birmingham), I came during the lock down and I haven't been out and about. If you have any recommendations, please do tell. Also recommend, if possible, places of interest; areas populated by African diaspora or black businesses in particular. It'll be nice to patronize them whenever and wherever possible.
Thanks

Asking for a friend who just got her visa for May intake. How can she plan to bring her mother to the UK while on a student visa if she give birth around August or September.

Ykaa:
Hi everyone,

Please, considering these two posts below:



AND



....would it be right to assume that whenever one of the members of a family (applying together for UK visa) apply for PRIORITY VISA (PROCESSING) and others apply for STANDARD VISA (PROCESSING) that all the visas would be 'processed' within the response time of the PRIORITY VISA? Thank you.

Doing the paperwork now might raise a red flag, waiting for UKVI response to know the best step to take.

Hi Bosses in the house;

I have my little autistic brother who’s 15yrs and has been living with me since 2017 due to being bullied at the village. I intend to travel with him and my wife to UK for my studies only to read here that the only dependents allowed in your application is your spouse and children.

Please house, what would be the best option to travel with him as I can’t afford to send him back to the village to stay with my parents.

Please; your responses will be greatly appreciated.

george009:
Please who knows how to calculate the exact amount for POF in Naira, I'm travelling with my pregnant wife and possibly my little brother, I'm only owing 1,500 GBP as school fees. Thanks
