Even the bandit must have helped someone in someways at some point. That doesn’t stop them from being dangerous.

In a time when politicians are throwing most migrants under the bus, they are here talking false things against migrants contributions to the nhs. Even when there’s data that supports us.

Zahra29 is a dangerous person, and unfortunately, our community has many of them.
Imagine making someone like the voice of people like us because they look like us. They'd make life hellish for people starting out in the same system that was favourable to them. Thank God man no be God.

Don't be too concerned about the tracker not showing. It doesn't always update in real time.
Wait for another week, it should be delivered by then.

Using the NIS Mobile App in the UK, passport renewal takes approximately 3 to 4 weeks after the old passport is received by the High Commission. The app enables contactless, home-based biometric enrollment, meaning you do not have to travel to London. The process is for citizens aged 18-60 with less than 6 months validity remaining. Key Details & Requirements
No Physical Visit: Biometrics (facial and fingerprint) are taken directly in the app, eliminating in-person visits to the London office.

Requirements:
National Identification Number (NIN).
Current passport (expiring within 6 months).
A smartphone with a good camera (Android is currently fully supported; iOS is in development).
Self-addressed courier envelope for returning the old passport and receiving the new one.
Cost: The cost involves the official passport fee (variable based on booklet size) and an additional £74.99 for the contactless biometric service.
Process: Install the "NIS Mobile" app, fill out the application, pay, perform contactless enrollment, and mail your current passport for cancellation

Hi guys,

Please how long does it take to renew Nigerian passport in uk using the NIS app?

Will I still have to travel for physical biometrics in London if using the app? And how much does it take to complete the entire application process. What are the requirements as well please?

This is my referral link https://app.outlier.ai/expert/referrals/link/cIJTeq9U_pRjGgkOjT__ZJsbQDo.

You would be taken through an onboarding process where you connect your LinkedIn, upload your CV and go through a rigorous screening process which would last about 30mins to an hour.

Make sure to pass oo as that would determine if you would get task and what type of task you would get.

Before 2026, the onboarding was straightforward as long as you are invited to the project but once people started abusing the platform, they made it tough.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Its white supremacy and entitlement in full display

Its the need to feel "in charge"

I'll tell you how

If he waved the British flag, they will say he is NOT british and he should "go home"
.He waved the Nigerian flag, and below is their response.

If Fury does Irish flag, no one will complain

To add pain to their injury, Joshua whopped their racist MAGA boy, thats double pain lol.

Its just a yt (racist) man's problem
The need to be in charge and on top of others

It cascades even to the larger society

Black folks (some) like being around white folks living among them and all, they will be saying they dont want you around them and be sneering and be doing white flight

Okay na, some Pakistanis say f.... it, they live in their own enclaves and having their things in their own way, these same fkers will say they are "not integrating"

You cant win with these guys

Zahra29:
Massive congratulations bro (or sis 😁) 🎉🎊🎉
May you prosper and have peace in your new home.

I love the bolded quote - so true.

I'd much rather have a cuppa with you lol....and to that point, I'm still waiting for my invite to
the house warming - spicy jellof washed down with a nice cup of tea sounds delicious 😁

deept:
As long as you have not exchanged contracts you can pull out at any time without penalty. The only thing lost is what you have spent so far and possibly solicitors fee.

D1uncle:
An overdraft is one of the most expensive types of credit, and using one can hurt your credit score. It’s better to get a zero-interest balance transfer card. Some even offer a cash transfer option.

jedisco:
As D1uncle said, your rates are quite exorbitant.
Know people who got mortgages even with a few months left on their visa but individual circumstances differ. Have you looked at Barclays?

The housing market is quite tepid and building your deposit for next 6months ish may be a good way to proceed

D1uncle:
The advice is to wait and increase your deposit. Those rates are not good. I think the current rate on a 10% deposit should be below 4.6%. I would advise you to wait until your situation aligns with the current rates.

Zahra29:
Hallelujah 🎉 and congratulations on your "relocation"

Sure, let's meet up when next I visit Canada. I think I mentioned that my uncle is a physician there, a surgeon, and I have a lovely big family settled therein.

Bdw, I've never hoped for you to be gone, or gone for good, or anything really. Your going or staying doesn't affect my QoL in any way - and beyond our spars on UK immigration the last couple of years, I don't spend any time or energy thinking about you or what you're doing. It's not me you need to impress, sorry 😂

Cyberknight:
As others have said, the visa will have to be renewed first. The dependent will have the same expiry date as the main applicant's visa, as usual.
Just to clarify, there is no automatic grace period when a visa expires (which is different from curtailment (cancellation)). Visas expire on 11:59 p.m. on their indicated expiry date and where there is no other valid application filed before then, the person becomes an overstayer.

Thanks a lot for the info

There is a discretionary grace period of 14 days which may be applied where the applicant could not submit an application in time for some reasons beyond their control.

Lexusgs430:
NOT LEGAL ADVICE :

I would not attempt to put something on nothing.... Don't give HO the opportunity to reject that application, due to applicant been an overstayer (breaking immigration rules)......

FINALLY : What's the cost of renewal vs consequences of overstaying......

Zahra29:
What 60 days grace period are you referring to?

You are permitted to apply for ILR from 28 days before completing the required continuous residency period.

Yes, the individual will be an overstayer if she has no valid leave when applying for ILR. If her visa expires before she is able to apply for ILR, she will need to first renew her visa.


She needs to apply before her current visa expires, but within the 28 day window (ie not too early as it will automatically be refused).

She can use an ILR calculator to work out the earliest date she can apply for ILR e.g.

jedisco:
If you've settled on a solicitor, you could send them their details while you finalise on a mortgage offer with a broker. The solicitors would still have to do searches e.t.c which takes time.
Regarding mortgage rates, Barclays tend to be relatively fair even for folks on visas. Their rates are available online and you could see where you fall - same with many providers.

mex551:
I am confused here. Are you referring to Mortgage in principle ? How can you get a mortgage offer when you have not applied or known the exact figures ? I thought you are supposed to first accept an offer , get a solicitor and then apply for mortgage? I am confused here. You are already taking of a favourable mortgage offer when you are not through with the basics.

Pardon me if I am missing something here

MonkeySee:
After your offer has been accepted

You will need to submit 3 months bank statements to the bank as proof of funds in order to get a Mortgage offer. You will need to have the complete deposit in order to proceed forward.

MonkeySee:
You will need to have the complete proof of deposit before you get a Mortgage offer

Mortgage offer is different from AIP

D1uncle:
Why your deposit may not be a major concern:
It depends on your personal situation. You can be approved with a 5%, 10%, or 15% deposit, and the interest rates will vary depending on the deposit size, so it’s up to you to decide what works best.

You can start with a 5% deposit and instruct a solicitor before applying through a mortgage advisor. Sometimes property sales take longer, and you can also buy yourself more time by delaying documents when your solicitor requests them.

D1uncle:
You don’t need to tell the estate agent that your deposit is not complete. Just provide a mortgage in principle along with the ID check. It’s your mortgage advisor who needs to know about the deposit, and that depends on how long you need to save the remaining balance, bearing in mind that there are other associated costs.
