Hello guru in the house we have a situation we don't know what to do.
We are family of 3 we present have a visa application waiting for decision (DMC). My wife and son are my dependant. The issue here is that my wife got a job in Health care and her COS just came in this morning requiring her to be in the UK at least 12th of September. My questions are what will happen to her present visa application awaiting decision. Can we put up another visa application or switch visa. Or how do we go about it.

Please help us, anybody should help iio

This solely depends on you.
If you have the funds and its convenient for you and them,why not?. Also if you have someone over to help with getting settled easily e.t.c accommodation

I had C6 in WAEC, year 2006. Plymouth accepted it. They even asked for WAEC scratch card to verify the result.

Open a domiciliary account, then go to aboki to buy the required fund, try to top it up a little because of charges, then so international bank transfer through your domiciliary account at your bank. The school will see it latest the following day.
Cheers.

The time is far gone , I will suggest you use the Black market to pay your deposit, becouse the form A will take about a month plus, which will not do justice to your application.

Without undue sentiment, I think during the Governorship debates last week, the Labour Party candidate was the best presenter, and appeared to know what governance means. The SDP and Accord candidates are next. In my opinion, the APC candidate was the worst presenter, and seems not to have tangible things to show what he did with the four years given to him by the court. He only hopes on incumbency, and maybe external influence to go back to the government house.

Hello everyone,

I applied for Switzerland visa on Monday and got visa same week Friday but was given only 15 days. From 14th to 28th August 2022. Isn't it strange? 2 weeks visa?

Good question, the Indians along with some Middle East and South Asians are all in this criminal boats but the Minister who is of Indian heritage signs with 9ja.
Let’s wait if he will sign same with other nations (or maybe they have such treaties already) too and especially India, his motherland.
The Indian immigrants see other immigrants from other countries as competitors, most especially Nigerians
Recruit 1 Indian into a company and come back 6 months after to see them take over almost every aspect of the company.

The truth is, the UK economy isn’t doing fine and these immigration routes are ingenious ways of keeping the economy going - use n dump mentality.
They collect your school fee, IHS, and all collectibles then after your studies if you not smart or lucky enough to stay legally, they push you out
That’s why you have to plan adequately with different options so you don’t get stranded

The reality is, not everyone embarking on the student route will get the opportunity to stay and live in the UK permanently. This might be harsh but it’s the truth.

I came to the UK just before the old post-study was scrapped. During my 2 week orientation, we were told to study hard and get good results as that would help us secure a job. A lot of international students in my university took this advise seriously and despite some graduating with distinction and merit, only a handful were lucky. Those who couldn’t secure a job had no choice but to pack up and return. It was really heartbreaking to see some of the brightest people I’ve ever met forced to leave. Sadly, life as an illegal immigrant is horrible and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.


Some other routes to settlement you could consider should you choose:
Spousal Visa - You can apply via marriage (real love) if your spouse meets the financial threshold. It was easier before Brexit as being married to an EU National automatically gave you the right to reside. Sadly that ship sailed a long time ago. You can now only rely on marriage to a British citizen or someone with permanent residency ( ILR, EU settled or Pre-settled status).

Global Talent Visa - If you’re a tech bookworm and believe you can make a change in the digital world then this is for you. For more information, check gov.uk

Continuous study- You can explore the PHD option if you’ve got a lot of cash reserve, knack for research and 3 more years for academia. Personally, I didn’t opt for PHD because I knew I wouldn’t be able to cope with more studying. The MSc was more than sufficient �.
My cousin studied for almost 10 years just so he can qualify for long residency. Was it worth it, he alone knows.

For survival, I know some Nigerians are resilient and I’m hoping you are too.

- Come with the funds you showed Home office
- Choose an affordable city for your studies
- Seek academic help early if you’re struggling.
- Research organisations that can sponsor you early and put in as many applications as possible before your graduation
- Make use of charity shops if money is tight. You’ll be amazed at the quality you’ll find in some shops.
- Register for your National Insurance number as soon as you arrive.
- Get a UK bank account asap
- Register with Electoral Roll ( Nigerian INEC) and GP practice
- Start your job application asap
- Make good friends
- Brush up on your interview skills ( YouTube is a great place to start).

With regards to work, It’s important you have your living expenses when you arrive as it could take months to get a job. This way you can treat any income from the 20hr work as a reserve. I would encourage you to get a part time job that will guarantee the minimum 20 hrs/ week with holiday pay. This will ensure you have a steady income every month.
I’m not a fan of agency work ( aka zero hour contract) although I can see the appeal for students. Should you choose this option, be aware that you could go some days/ weeks without work if the agency does not have a shift for you.

To your other question, I don’t regret coming here to study because this country has given me an opportunity that I would have otherwise not had if I had remained in Nigeria. I was lucky to get a job I enjoy and have progressed in my organisation.

It is important that anyone embarking on this journey lower their expectations because the reality is often different from the picture family and friends paint. You’ll be amazed to know that some people have come here financially unprepared and then turn to the church or council for help when things go wrong.

All I can tell you is don’t let the fear of the unknown put you off. Remember no risk, no reward. You alone can decide if the student route is the right part for you. Good luck.


Wow!!!!! This is resourceful. Thank you for this exhaustive reply. I will have to read it over and over.

Hello,

It is quite risky, if you do find someone make sure it is a person you know and trust so you don't get scammed.
