I thought I am the only one having this issue.

However, story changed a little when I started calling and sending the direct care homes and agency call.

Where is your location and how long have you stayed in the UK?






Rheminix:
its become so hard to get a job here in the UK, I am talking about a menial job, despite the many applications I have sent through indeed and total jobs platform, its so frustrating. I am well aware of the pandemic and the impact it has had on many families in the UK ,which has forced them to look for all kinds of jobs, This situation has made the search for job a tough and competitive one. I need advice on what to do. thanks.

Please make me understand, how come your conversation rate is even higher than naira to pounds market rate. I thought it's meant to be a cheaper means.

Hello I tried an experiment this afternoon and here are my findings(wetin boredom dey cause grin)

Note, I'm 12days old in the UK

Title of experiment : Currency conversion
Aim : To convert naira to pounds via cryptocurrency exchange
Procedure:
Monzo account was opened on Saturday (online) I'm still in isolation. Debit card arrived this morning and got activated

Nigeria verified binance account was funded with 15k, since it was an experiment the account was funded trice with 5k each transaction in order to meet the minimum transaction requirements

Btc was purchased with ₦ and exchanged for £

Withdrawal from my binance wallet to Monzo account
Total of £21.81 was received

Major transaction costs
To fund 5k, 150 naira charge, I did that 3 times
(Minimum 150naira max 18million)
Withdrawal charge £1.5

That is it!
Do you think it's worth it?
Started out with 15k, got £21.81
What do you think?

Oggg:

Send an email to Tayo@paga.com
He is the founder of Paga. Maybe he can wade in.
Go to a GTB branch and show them all evidence and fill a dispute form with all your evidence.
Dnt follow up with them over the phone, the people on the phone are somethin else.
For GTB complaint email, they dont have
Fill a complaints form and they will reply back to you.

Thanks alot for ds. I have escalated the issue to Paga, GTb and Flutterwaves Social Media. Now they have addressed it but still awaiting refund. Thanks for taking out time to explain

Does anyone know if Bournemouth issues CAS letter without submitting the 28 days proof of funds( funds still in my account )? Below was the message sent to me after paying the deposit ....

This is to confirm that your payment of £3000 has been received.

Thank you for attaching these documents, however, we do not need you to send us anything else- your application is complete and CAS team will be preparing CAS shortly.

I suppose these documents will be needed for your visa application.


If we can help with anything further, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Best wishes,

* anyone with an update on this ?

Yes they do. Bournemouth doesnt need your bank statement to issue your CAS

Hello house , could 22million be ok for POF for family of 4, tuition fee balance for main applicant is 11,500. Pls can someone help calculate if it’s enough funds ? For both maintenance and tuition balance

Yes at the Moment. However, you may need to factor in the upward review in maintenance fee effective 1st of December, and give allowance for increase in exchange rate.

kingsilly:

I’m lost too, ihs for a year is £471 on the site, how’s she paying nearly 1k USD

I am confused my self. It should be for 1year 4months though. The New Fee for Tier 4 visa IHS effective Oct 27 is even $470 per Year, so 1yr 4month should not be more that $705.

The $955 stated above looks like the New Fee for others like tier2 not tier 4.

Are we sure its not a mistake.

Thanks Sis. This means my Mum will come as visitor, while they come in as dependants. I kinda like this option. I just fear issues at entry.

Can all the applications be done from UK? Tests, etc.

Yes, mum as visitor and children as dependant. My mum took that root last month with my sisters children.

Though as u have been advised, do ur Personal Verification.

I was so tensed reading that comment given the fact that career in finance are generally easy to get jobs compared to arts & humanities. It is well.

I can imagine. Even at that we have others that are so lucky, planning well and believing is key.

TheGuyFromHR:


The deposit is generally what you will pay for the next month's rent anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem; you must have it already anyway.
There will still be references requested or a guarantor or some months' rent upfront in lieu.

So if you're not willing to pay in advance for a place as yet unseen, then you'd best come over first and rent an Airbnb while you sort things out on the ground.


Really, I thought it will be held on too, until u are moving out.
