Wow, so the wait begins… Thanks Boss. Who else took this Assessment? Any Luck yet?

Mofolam:
I’m confused why people are complaining about lack of shift or jobs. I may be wrong but I think the problem is either they don’t drive, have a car or have license. Shift yakpa for where I dey. But only if you are mobile. Things I did that I think helped ; get a car with insurance, get ur int driving license before leaving , most imp before u leave get used to road signs and driving instructions via the gov.uk site. If possible pay the £15 hazard perception multi trial test. Then Watch tons of YouTube vid on how to pass the test.
Hopefully this helps someone.

Good day house,

Please those of your planning to come over please and please plan yourselves very well.

Youkay here, no one will accommodate and feed you. Family members can only do little highest do it for 2 months and throw you out las last.

Please are suffering here, no job oo if your employer promises you a job, make sure it's certain o or else na street you go sleep o. If you and your family are coming over pls and pls hold plenty money, money that can last your guys for at least 3 months plus before you settle.

No body dey give anybody money for here o the only think they can give is advice and help not money.

If you are couple with no kids, shared apartment will be okay for you budget 600-800£ bills inclusive and depends on location. If you are with children, studio apartments or 1-2 bedroom will be okay but excluding bills. Rent per month arroud 800-1300£ depends on the location. Bill like Gas/Electric, water and council tax maybe around 300-400£ depends on the location.

Furthermore, no house agent would rent a house for anyone just coming in even with your 3-4 month payslip. The best bet any off license shops, you can ask or tell the shop owners that you just came in and have been staying in an Airbnb for like 2-3 months that they should help you with any landlord they know so you can rent. Or better still if you have a relative, brother, etc that has rented their own, they can help you rent yours with their details.

The Sim card they gave you at TLS you can activate it the next day or at the arrival airport. It's free for the first month and next month you get 50% off.

If you are staying in the city, first bus is the best for your mobility. Try using your Google maps to navigate your location. Bus fare 2£ per adult on trip. Day adult tickets is 6£, ticket for group 6 ppl 12£ per day. When you download the first bus App you will see all tickets prices

When you get here, first open monzo bank use your brp under 7 days your day will be delivered to you. It's the card you will use to activate the account. Or you can try Revolt they card for card delivery. Also open any high street bank like Lloyds bank, you will open the account on the web then take your brp to any of their branch for activation. Their card is free and would be sent to your address within 7 days.

Please note: coming down here, money is the most important thing to carry or hold. UK government no send anyone here if not you will suffer.

I will advice carry enough food that will last at least 5-6 months o, this is no joke. Those things you deprive yourself from eating or buying in Nigeria here you will buy it's x2 or x3.

Not that I'm trying to scare anyone, it's my own experience.

Please watch the video below. That's exactly what's going on now in the UK.

If your employee sponsored you here, then you don't have a problem o.

Watch and learn.

Sorry about that.
You posted weeks ago about your employer issuing a maintenance letter to you and as well ticking YES for the maintenance part on the COS. Does it not cover Accommodation for you?. I'm asking cos my Employer ticked Yes for me and I am not budgeting for AirBnB so I can prepare for unforeseen circumstances.

Will i be able to recieve hardcopy of the result before monday afternoon or i should just shift the appointment? So am very worried as am not sure they dispatch on saturday pls i need advise on what to do

Ceejay2:
Well depends on the IM officer you are assigned to. I just got in through Gatwick today and I didn't even spend upto 2mins with the IM officer.

1st question..is this your first time in the UK,
Me..yes
2nd. What's the name of the company and Where in the UK are you going
Me...told him
3rd..bla bla bla
Me.. I just said No
4th. What job
Me..health care worker
He now said that's what I asked earlier and you said No.
Me.. Oh sorry I didn't hear that very well
5th..Do you know where to pick up your brp
Me. Yes and told him
He, ok ok please place your right thumb, index on there after which he stamped me in.

Before then there's this Nigeria guy on another IM officer Booth, didn't know what they asked him at first he showed them the Cos print out and one Lagos State letterhead paper, heard him saying...it's from lagos State government with a high tone. I pray they let him in because he's probably not answering the question.

See my ppl It's all by God's grace and mercy and also pray that you meet someone that will favor you. I didn't take out any paper from my folder because I had them printed out just in case. It's just God's Mercy.

I don read tire all the likely POE questions people pasted here even the work address I store am for head.

Please when booking flights check the nearest airport to your destination, not because everyone is going to Heathrow, you too won follow, Heathrow might not favour you. If they don't ask for your cos print out don't give it they don't even need it for anything.

Thanks and God bless.

Hello please I applied online at the enter Finland website and I chose embassy of Finland in Abuja as my service point. What am I to do next and how do I book an appointment at the embassy

Onyxunlimited:
You're doing well, honourable. If this was done in a WhatsApp group, I wouldn't have gotten the wealth of information I got from you.
Truly, nothing beats experience. You won't believe the amount of rubbish I got online while trying to get genuine information concerning study in Finland.

Sir please I have a question. I read online that as a permanent resident of Finland, tuition is free. I also read that one can apply for permanent residence after 4 years of stay
Now, I want to go through this vocational study route that takes 3 years to finish. If I stay back and work for another year, does that amount to 4 years? Would I be eligible to apply for permanent residence by then?
I also read that if one comes in via study visa, the years taken to study would not be out in consideration when one wants to apply for permanent residence. That is, they won't count the years one had study visa but would count from the years one has work visa.
How true is this, Sir?

Please, what are the other ways to get permanent residence in Finland?

Thanks for all you do.

Onyxunlimited:
Hi. Please I asked you a question in the other discussion thread. The one about the Finland education.
Please, I need your input.
Thanks.
