I checked this as it happened to a friend but this was many years ago so rules might have been checked so check gov website

Sadly when I checked there are no provisions for a Tier 2 or Tier 4 if the main holder dies than to go back . I saw during Covid time that if its key worker and its covid then ILR will be granted . Dont know if it still in place but I saw it

Apart from covid exception , its only ILR and British that I think their spouse are given ILR if they pass on

umarwy:
Murder is a crime.

I don't know the answer to your question sorry

Wow good of you to think that far oh. It is well with you. Hehehe

If someone that has Tier 4 visa dies will their dependents go back?

Hello ,I just completed my covid 19 second dose and I was told that to take the booster dose that it will be till another six month and I need to travel to UK month.
I want to ask if the booster dose not a necessity one must compulsory key fulfill as a requirement before allow to enter UK

It's not a requirement, my brother took just a dose. He had to do the test in Nigeria, the day 2 &8 test in the UK and self isolate.

Your wife should get exemption letter from school thereafter u can use it to apply to the council

Certificate of enrollment is enough to present as an evidence there shouldn't be any other special letter.

You can do any, either you wait for the first bill or ring the council and tell them to stay far away (in wizzy voice)

Yeah vit. D is good. Helps boost your levels and reduces body pains and low mood/ depression in winter. Watch your drinking when going out in the winter so you don't pisirii for body. Iusually rehydrate when i'mback home, so i don't wet myself outsde before finding a toilet which has happened to me before by the way---TMI

Thanks a bunch I will do more practice on my interviews to be more confident.

mdeeokoye:
Can’t say if we applied a trick per say. We just did lots of practice and tried to validate responses.
Accenture’s second level interview was more around picking a topic amongst a list of selected topics and then talking about it. She picked AI, she specifically picked up deep learning use cases I think. Talked about similar class room projects about it and her experience in it using python. Then there was the behavioural now because it’s a graduate role she tried to answer them based on class room activities and did not really talk much about her previous experience in financial related stuffs she had done on Nigeria because at that graduate level they don’t expect that much because they intend to train you I believe.
Also we did lots of practice as I wanted to hear how she sounds over the questions to ensure she was confident and all.
Her final interview was with a technical /lead person in the firm I think. Same kinda process like the first. I know it’s competitive �
All the best and good luck in your next interviews

Thank you very much I appreciate

Uk2020:
I'll suggest you go through the videos on this channel.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrtPXCqjm9c7nqgJL-vBSZg

I found the channel after I did poorly on a few interviews. I aced my very next interview after watching a few videos.

Wow this is so beautiful to read. I pray this grace and favour locates me soonest.

For me I've been getting plenty rejections as well and it always come during the interview stage passing the graduate test has always been easy for me but the interview is something else. I really wonder what the trick here is?

mdeeokoye:
Permit me to say a few around job search and a strategy when coming in to the Uk via your question maybe it may help a few peeps:-
My self and my wife we came to the Uk October 2020, My wife was a student while I was the dependent. I got a job almost immediately and starting working as a software engineer in a firm in Liverpool while my wife focused on her studies as we literally sold everything and planned to start a life here in the Uk. But we *had* a plan. Our plan was that by God’s grace I would get a sponsored job and because she also had experience as well, she would also finish her masters and also get a sponsored job kinda both of us having sponsorship running differently to avoid stories that touch. By the way my wife has about 5 years experience as a BA in treasury management mostly around a solution called calypso(one of the biggest around). Immediately she started school she started applying for graduate roles because they kinda offer jobs months/ even a year ahead with sponsorship before you even finish your program. We got lots of rejections, too many for that matter. Most times she would cry as I was always consoling her that they are the ones missing out as she would definitely get one.
As God may have it she got Accenture graduate role more inclined around project management. We were excited because at least we got the ball rolling as regards our big plans. 5 months after working in the firm in Liverpool I got an offer with sponsorship with another eCommerce firm in Leicester which required us is to relocate to Leicester, again the plan fell into place.
Wifey finally graduated in October with a distinction( as our money no fit waste �). Plans changed as I thought that she can actually get better in terms of job and pay. We started looking out for Calypso roles and to my surprise they are high in demand here in the Uk and the pay was great. Of course We we’re looking at sponsorship but we did not mind having one without sponsorship but with a better pay as she can go
Under me as a dependent but I had that believe that we can eat out cake and have it��. We applied to FD and LSE as they had roles and pay structure was great! To our surprise we had interview slots. My o my the interview was a breeze as na my wife they teach the guys for the interview. FD gave her an offer as a senior BA after like a week and said they will sponsor her visa under mine and we were like should we take it, meanwhile LSE was in the pipeline and the interview was also a breeze off cause we stalled FD’s offer and waited for LSE it was a bit slow because it was via an agency and the agency was skeptical about sponsorship but the final manager that interviewed her was so impressed and pushed for sponsorship and eventually they gave her an offer!!! FD got back to her and she told FD that she has an offer now with LSE, and they said they will match the money and started talks about how they can strategise her into management in no time but come on LSE was just the height!
She is starting with LSE later this month and all our plans since we came to the Uk kicked in, it was all God and preparation and opportunity!
Why I am saying this! If you come in to the Uk in October or January start applying immediately, don’t wait till your masters is about rounding up before you apply, there are lots of graduate roles, I would reckon that more experienced roles would want you to start immediately and would not give you the buffer to start months ahead.
Lastly you can always yearn for more! Go for it! You have it in you! Hope this helps anyone

hustla:
You seem like a fairly reasonable person so Ill write a last one

Look at it from JustWise's POV; London especially is not known to be easy. I have two friends in London and it has not been easy for them considering the bills involved ( they are both married )

No one hates or wants something negative for you .. I could walk past you tmr and I wont even know its you so what do I have to gain from bringing you down or whatever

If you were sure of the path you wanted to take and the ease of taking that path, you wont be asking those questions

Plan well, listen to advice and fine tune those plans so it will be soft for you

That one urging you on wont be there when home office starts to reason your matter or when your grades plummet. Na who like person dey advice am o, forget all this many many English

E go be

This is a better advise, you attempted bullying initially.

Peace out

hustla:
........

Bullies

mizGene:
He appears not to have money for his FIRST month rent and you are encouraging him?
Hustling is fine, but it must be done with sense.

I am not encouraging her in any way, I never responded as a matter of fact.

I only reacted when he was interrogating her in that manner. Give your advise, stop bullying people. We are adults here and will still make take our actions regardless

Same here darling. Enjoy your night shift.

hustla:
You are not worth a reply or back and forth exchanges

Shalom

So you came with all your school fees and living expenses? Gist me please

hustla:
[b]His advice is actually what made me plan a bit better with fees and choice of Uni [/b]but the problem is most Nigerians no dey always wan learn from the mistakes and experiences of others .. hard way na in them like

Oga I said I did it, I dey my house come and collect my visa now.

hustla:
Did your God tell you to lie in your visa app by any chance?

Olga please stop forming ignorance here that was not what he meant when he said that. She might have borrowed the funds, funds will be in the account until she is cleared but must return it. So she really doesn't have money to spend. But the clearance is not an issue.

Quit this ignorant Messiah talk abeg

hustla:
If you are asked these questions at POE, what exactly will you do in that case?

Get angry and be defensive?

Hehehe please my dear do what you have to do to move to the next level. Those that are asking these questions ask them if they came with trailer of money during their time.

People are coming here hustling it out without having all the money(why are we deceiving ourselves).

Even them talking their families are using the same method but you will come here and be forming KNOW ALL.

I used the same method I'm in my house come and ask me questions

At the end of the day you are not my GOD period#.

HopeLoveLife:
I know where he is heading at, I’m no fool and I have seen him doing that a lot. He feels people who ask such questions don’t actually have the POF. He is just trying to act tricky.


I also saw your gist on the student thread chai I see you are no different from the justwise guy...smh!

Just show up. Extra quid too.

canadaishome:
For the fast track, do I need an appointment or I can just show up?

Edinburgh is not like that oh hehehe. Clean and crisp city. In fact most cities in Scotland are clean and clam except Glasgow sha.

justwise:
No city in the UK without such prob especially when you have universities, bus and train stations located very close to town centres which is typical of UK cities apart from maybe London.

Hehe thank me for asking the question .

Thank you too cos your question made me start the research.

canadaishome:
I can't remember who mentioned moneybox but I checked it out and it's definitely something I was looking for when I said I was looking for something similar to piggyvest

Thank you so much joining money box too��

Endlessgrace:
You can access your funds plus the interest if the purpose of withdrawal is house purchase or pension(from age 55 i think). I’m with moneybox and you get your 25% interest paid on your deposit monthly.

Thank you so much and congratulations on your new home. I'm much at peace now to proceed.

abubarakat:
I used it in 2020 to buy a house with my wife.

We both had accounts with Newcastle Building and maxed the £4,000 allowance per year. We both got a top up of £1,000 each and used it for a newly built property.

The process of using it was very straightforward. I contacted the building trust and told them I wanted to use it for a home deposit. They gave me a form, completed and returned it.

When it was time to drop the deposit, I gave their details to our solicitors and they handled the transaction. End of story.

Thank you. So does it mean as far as I do not withdraw my money (other than to buy a house) I won't pay back the 25%?

ukay2:
I use Skipton Building Society....you safe max of 4k pounds in a year and UK.Gov gives you 25% of what you saved....the 25% is not free o, you will pay back later

You pay back the 25% if you withdraw the money if its not to buy your first house.

You should be less than 40 years to qualify.


Other ogas and madams will help out.

hello elders in the house

Recently I have been researching on this Lifetime ISA thing to use in saving for a home purchase in 2 years from now. My question is: Does anyone know much about it and is it a good option for saving.

I have done my research just curious to hear from personal experiences too.

Thank you

lol wahala be like bicycle oh

dupyshoo:
Not every Nigerian man is like that too.

Please how long did it take for them to respond to you

1 month

iboboyswag:
So, I said I was going to update the group on how it goes irrespective of the outcome.

As advised by a few people here, we wrote to the home office requesting for an exceptional assurance. We followed the approach suggested by tobexin and Contra5 and thank God, we have just received a notification granting our request.

We were given an extra 3 months until February 2022. This should be enough.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who took out time to respond with a possible solution.

Justwise, quite unlike what I had expected, your words were soothing and encouraging. Thank you very much.

Tobexin, the fire in your words were just all that I needed to gain some confidence in the approach. Like I said, I had been advised to go the route, but I wasn't confident in the outcome. Thank you plenty for taking it up like it was your trouble.

Contra5, you made it all make sense. It went just as you had commented. Your insight was the key that broke the lock. I really appreciate you. Thank you.

Lagosismyhome, Ma'am graceful as ever. I admire your online personality and can only imagine how wonderful you must be offline.

Dupyshoo, thank you for coming through. I appreciate.

Theguyfromhr, although I couldn't lawyer up, your interest was timely. Thank you.

Now, there were others who had absolutely no solution to offer, rather than keep shut and just pass, they chose to pass scathing remarks, and conjure wild insinuations.

While the remarks are confined to the gutters where they rightfully belong, it is the insinuations that are disturbing. Because, I can't imagine how a supposed educated adult can come up with "supposed factual statements" on issues they barely have the facts.

I assume that the right approach would be to ask questions. But no! You chose instead to bask in your self-absorbed nature of sanctimony. Now, that's a problem we have on here. People are often quick to pass negative judgements on what they do not completely understand and by that, tilt the conversation or scare others who may have challenges that requires helpful inputs.

It is all shades of wrong. Yes, I concede no one owes anyone a comment but then I expect that adults would comport themselves as adults.

To you who may have a challenge but are too scared to speak up because of these ones, speak up but ignore them. These ones claim to know it all and are quick to state their thoughts no matter how wrong or how stupid it may sound. Ignore them.

Congratulations, I almost commented on how many people were mean and inferring absurd things like "I find it difficult why people cannot focus on their studies". If they said that to you would you be happy? haba

Sometimes this place can be toxic. Most of us are here for the same purpose to live and survive, now why is it difficult to help your fellow brother, but no you rather laugh at people's struggles.

May God guide you through going forward.

Hello please howcan I get their email address
thank you

I sent a mail to this immigrationdesk@nigeriahc.org.uk

And got appointment booking from this

appointment@nigeriahc.org.uk

You can try the two. I hope I have been able to help.

Cheers

calmsuccess:
Hi, thanks for this information. I would like to clarify if it is compulsory to send an email requesting for an appointment or one would be placed in the queue automatically after applying. We’ve applied for my wife about a month ago but we didn’t send any email thinking it was automatic.

Its not compulsory but sending will facilitate it. I got an appointment after I sent an email.

I hope this helps

Hello all please how do I go about the renewal of my Nigerian passport here in the UK.
Please

Hello

Go to the website https://portal.immigration.gov.ng/ and apply online for it, I paid $106 when I did mine. Click on apply for passport renewal and follow the directions from there. It pretty easy to apply.

Now after application is where the hassle begins. I applied for mine in March and went for biometrics in September (they take a lot of time to schedule you for an appointment)

What I will advise you to do is if you are patient enough, after you apply online send an email to them asking them to schedule you for your biometrics and wait for a response or otherwise you can go to the embassy in London without an appointment and stay on the queue (it attracts an extra fee of £100I think) and they/they may not answer you that day. I saw alot of people do it.

The good thing is after your biometrics it takes just 2 weeks for the passport to be ready (well for mine sha).

Goodluck. Start with the application online first.

Ogbaba123:
