Sorry for your denial bro but I guess this letter is self explanatory enough

The issue is with ur bank statement. That u submitted a bank statement in a 3rd party’s name who u “claim” is ur Guardian.

That this person has been ur guidian for over 10 years and you refused to mention if ur biological parents are still living.

That this official letter is issued within the period you applied for your visa even tho they have been ur Guardian for over ten years.

Going forward, I’d advice u reapply but this time, have the funds in your personal account and write a supporting letter to support it

Goodluck

Happy new month fellows. To all the gurus in the building thank you for your continuous support.

Please I have an issue at hand, after my application and biometric, I was given a blank Passport, after mail and phone call to TSL I was given the attached negative response.

So I said I should throw it to the house perhaps I can receive the appropriate advice and way forward cos my mind is as blank as a whiteboard.

Kindly assist with a professional comment.

Thanks

Good morning Dear Men and Brethren especially the Ancients on the thread:

How many years would you reckon is long enough in one location to make buying a house there sensible. I.e if you know you will spend 4 years in 1 place then move, would you buy a house for the 4 years or rent till you get to your ‘final bus stop’.

Advice me please. Thank you.

Your answer is in bold

Hi everyone,
Has anyone traveled from Nigeria to Scotland recently after the quarantine hotel was introduced?

I know Nigeria is not on the red list but Scotland is asking all international arrivals to quarantine in the hotel.

Is true that if one arrives in an English airport have a layover and then proceed to Scotland on what will be a local flight you will be allowed to self isolate at home.

Please I need your inputs on this. Thanks

If using your intl license, it's only valid for 12 month's, from entry date stamped on passport (your passport would be required, if stopped). If police cannot obtain details from immigrations database.........

To insure your car with a PL, you would need a full UK license holder (3 years experience), to accompy you all the time (L plates must be on the front and rear of vehicle).........

Your last question, already answered in my 1st response......


NB : I am not sure if your holding a PL, invalidates your IL..... Make further enquiries........ cheesy

I think it will be better and quicker to go to Nigeria to have the name change done though it might be a bit expensive due to covid tests, flight and money to wet the floor

adebayoz001:
Hello o Everybody,

Please I need some advice regarding my situation as this Covid has ruined some stuff.

So I’m planning on applying for British naturalisation but my Nigerian passport (Now expired) and my BRP is in my previous last name. All my other documents are in my new last name. I got the name change via a deed poll.

I would obviously want the British passport to be in my new name but I was told that I would need to change the name on my Nigerian passport in order for my naturalisation certificate to be issued in the new name.

The problem now is Nigerian embassy is closed until further notice (May God help Us) and even if it’s open, I read on their website that they don’t accept deed poll as a change of name document.

Another issue is I might be changing job soon and my passport is expired but BRP is still valid. I don’t know how to go about the renewing the Nigerian passport.

I don’t know of any Nigerian lawyer that can advise me about this. Biko, any advice is welcome. Is there another document I could provide to the Home office as a proof for change of name when applying for the naturalisation and what do you Bosses suggest I do about renewing my passport.

This wahala too much, thanks in advance.

The bank with the horse

There are banks in Nigeria who have provided some embassies the privilege of using a a given url to only check account statements. They don't call such banks except there's need for further questions beyond the account itself. Nigeria's number one and oldest bank is one I'm sure of.

Trainee biomedical scientist jobs where u have to complete your registration portfolio are usually 24 months contract. However, if u complete within a year or less, u can register with HCPC

jaeybee98:
How many months/years experience do you think will guarantee registration with HCPC?
Travel › Re: Uk Student Visa/tier 4 Pbs - Your Questions Answered Part 5 by omopapa: 11:07am On Feb 28, 2021
Correct!!!

Naffyfera:
To add to this, if you already have BSc medical laboratory science from Nigeria and have lab experience in Nigeria, you can apply for HCPC registration through the international route. You don't need to complete the IBMS registration portfolio for this.

The bolded is the best option. The father of your child should give consent and mention that you have full custody of the child.

Menab:
good afternoon guys, I have posted here before and has been following the guild lines given

A single mum of a 7 year old son and my 14yo sister lives with me.. our both parents are late.. from the advice I got from here, I already started the process of legal guardianship for her and started applying to schools.. (accelerated Msc adult/mental health nursing) I didn't do nursing at BSC level. I studied mass communication with a second class upper though I did auxiliary nursing for two yearsl and I have about 3 years of working experience in the health sector..

I first asked here the possibility of going to the UK with my son and sister since there is no one here to leave them for and I was advised here to do Legal guardianship for my sister which is underway..

as I logged on today, a question caught my attention.. someone asked if she could go with the child she had for another though she is now married to someone else.. some of the responses are what got me worried and prompted me to want to ask more on my own case..

I am a single mother.. never lived with the father of my child and never been married.. child is in my custody since birth but no bad blood between the both of us..

do I also need court documents for my son to go with me or a consent letter from the dad is enough?

please your inputs are highly appreciated.. I have been refused UK tourist visa twice 2018 and 2019

N.B

reason I am switching career is because I am now fully in the health line.. I run a Surrogacy agency at the moment and I want to study something health to enable me be fully involved in Fertility line..

Thank you lacrimossa2020 for the information. However I need to make some clarifications from the message.

BSc Biomedical Science does not automatically qualify you to be registered with the HCPC except you have done the registration portfolio while studying.

With what solalal36 said, yes you can send your certificates for assessment and they determine if there’s any fallbacks which can me made up by doing topup modules.

To be registered with HCPC you need to have accredited degree and experience which is in form of portfolio.

solalal36:
Hello, where did you see this?
Well, from Omopapa's previous posts, after your masters degree, you send your portfolio to IBMS for assessment. They will send you the necessary courses for top up.
Do the top ups.
From there, you can get verified by IBMS, then HCPC certificate.
Let the Gurus say something on this

I wouldn’t advise that tho, it might come back to haunt you.

He can simply give consent letter and attach his data page of international passport and birth certificate of the child

But the best is still for him to apply and travel with y’all for like a week or 2, then he can return back to his work in 9ja

My husband cant come with me to the UK because of his job and he wants us to go through the court for the sole custody thing, so I was wondering if it makes sense to be married and have sole custody of our baby.

If u need a licence or registration by a professional body before you can practice, the professional body will not grant u the licence if your degree isn’t accredited

Hence, I’d avoid any uni that their course hasn’t been accredited by the professional body

Samopex05:
Bourne007 Omopapa Justwise LagosismyHome mimilyrics aprokodaughter and others

Are there any implications if I study a course that is not accredited by a regulating body. In my case, I am going for MA-Journalism.

I noticed that journalism in the UK is accredited by NCTJ & BJTC.

Some of the schools I have in mind don’t have the course accredited by these bodies. Schools like MMU, SHU, Uni of Chester and Leeds Beckett don’t have this course accredited yet they offer it. I went the extra mile of checking their websites just to be sure. (nctj & bjtc websites).

From experience, what do you have to say or advice.

Hello veegal,

It is good that you are already in the UK, this will make ur process easier and faster.

NHS is the highest employer of labour especially in medical field. To work within the NHS lab as a Biochemist, u will have to be HCPC registered as a Biomedical Scientist.

To achieve this, you need IBMS degree assessment

https://www.ibms.org/registration/degree-assessment-for-hcpc-registration/

The outcome of the assessment will determine which add-on courses you need to take with IBMS accredited uni

https://www.ibms.org/resources/documents/ibms-accredited-undergraduate-degree-coursesa/1accredited-course-honours-updated-2021-february-16.pdf

Good luck and feel free to ask more questions

veegal:
Hello Omopapa & all the gurus,

Thank you for your advice as regards working as a Biomedical Scientist in the UK.

I am a graduate of Biochemistry and have an MBA from a Nigerian University. I have over 10years work experience (Medical Sales Rep.) but not related to Laboratory experience. I checked the shortage occupation list and Biochemistry is included.

I'm currently in the UK on a Tier 2 dependent visa and i would like to search for a job with my qualification.

What are the steps to take especially getting the IBMS evaluation and then HCPC registration?

Are the modules or add-on courses to be taken to make up; masters degree courses? How long does it take for this whole process to be completed? What are my options please? Kindly advise! Thank you.
