How far can you hide pregnancy tho, it will be revealed with time

Aphrodite007:
I don’t think she should hide it. She should speak to a rep at the student union to ask for advise- make sure it’s not a Nigerian you see o, cos some Nigerians still have their bias.

She shouldn’t declare the pregnancy to uni just yet, she shld carry on with her studies. When she’s heavy or nee delivery she can then apply for leave of absence or extenuating circumstance

Risazii:
Thank you, she was concerned that the school might ask her to differ

dustydee:
How? Is that not why they said the test should be done after a couple of days to account for the incubation period? It'snot like they are waiting at the airport to take your swab for testing.

I’m referring to this point in bold. If anything happens on flight, the test isn’t sensitive enough to pick it up that early.

dustydee:
I think it actually makes sense to retest few days after arrival as a lot can happen between tests, even on the flight.

Cus the test isn’t sensitive enough to pick infection that new

dustydee:
Why?

Yeah seen it, thanks

Divine88:
I was in Lagos last month. I shared my experience on this Nairaland thread.

https://www.nairaland.com/6099141/nigerian-airspace-reopening-share-travel/6#94075246

If anything happens enroute, the test won’t pick it up so it’s pointless.

This is day light robbery ���

LagosismyHome:
While it's acceptable in Nigeria.... our greedy government turns everything to a scam or money making venture. They are asking everyone arriving to pay 51k or so and repeat the test in nigeria

If you have mandated passengers to do one 96 hours to arrival. Why charge them to repeat it in Nigeria. So the one abroad is not good enough ehnn. The whole system needs change not just SARS

Was the result tenable in Nigeria and you didn’t have to do another at the airport right

Bourne007:
If you Google 'Covid-19 test private', you will see a bunch of them Lloyds Pharmacy, Qured etc. They will all send kits anyways.

I however used NHS all free with details sent by email and SMS.

Guys, which UK universities are accepting low deposit for administrative courses please

Yes ur insurance is still valid for 12months but they have squeezed ur quote into 10 months making it seem like you have last 2 months free

It is cheaper to pay in full than pay monthly. You can use 0% APR credit card to pay and then make monthly payment to repay the credit card.

RalphJean:
Hello ladies and gentlemen:
Quick question about motoring, please.
Why am I getting insurance quotes that last 10 months (rather than 12)?

Yeah I do this yearly, I call them and say I got a cheaper quote somewhere else. 9 out of 10 they will ask you how much have u been quoted. That’s where I enter them and we begin the negotiations. It works

RalphJean:
Dear UK pepper, Na so car insurance dey be?

I’d say I no bargain now, Na so I for pay dem £718.33 shey dem no dey fear god ni??

The reason for the newspaper publication for change of name is to backup documents that might have their previous surname.

You can get a sworn affidavit from high court igbosere Lagos island and then do a newspaper publication after (5-7k Max)

Cc @thanksss

DANIREM:
Please guru in the house help us attend to this issue of change of name because presently my wife has misplaced her change of name document. Thanks.

Who says Birmingham isn’t a tourist city? There’s Aston Villa Stadium, Birmingham stadium, Cadbury chocolate factory, Jewellery Quarters (a whole street dedicated for jewelleries), Sea life, Bullring shopping centre and even Dudley zoo is few minutes away from Birmingham.

These are places you can mention when asked why Birmingham as your chosen city for holiday

eyeshaveseen:
Thanks for the update, but Birmingham is not a tourist attraction. His your friend in UK to write exam or something? We still need a Tourist POE transcript for people to know what's going on at the airport. Thanks

It is relevant because someone that’s going via the same route might budget tenner and become stranded

[quote author=oak202 post=94787457][/quote]

Yes, the letter is like a way of giving his consent and to declare that the money is available for you to spend. Also, don’t forget the birth certificate as that’s the only genuine document that link you to him

pwettyhardey:
Do my dad need to write sponsorship letter too?

Get in touch with your uni to change the details and to give you another CAS letter.

Otherwise stick both passports together and use the new passport number in your application.

Swiftlee:
I have my CAS already! My passport has expired and I am getting a renewal next week before applying for VISA.

Will this affect my application in anyway, since I am going to have a new passport number different from the one on my CAS?

Regards.

They MUST declare the refusals, a simple search of DOB and biometric details on UKVI database will reveal who they are.

I will advise they get official documents like sworn court affidavit and newspaper publication to declare their change of name (Not too late).

Then explain the reason (maybe religious) for the name change in next application

It’s been over 10 years since the last visa refusal, even if they were banned, they would have served the ban. So it’s best to give as much info as possible.

However, under the GDPR, you have the right to request for information owed by UKVI about you. You can request for your previous visa applications and it is completely FOC. Yes! FREE

firstLadyy:
Guys pls, a friend of mine wants to apply as a dependant and has had 2 uk refusals for undergraduate studies in 2007 and 2009. The name he used then is quite different from what hes using now. he used Ndubisi Obiora then, but his current passport is carrying Paul Obiora same date of birth, pic, signature n all.
1. Should he declare the refusals since its not the same name he's currently using?
2. he cannot find the first refusal letter and cannot remember why he was refused. What can he do in this case.
Pls gurus in the house, what's ur take on this?
@justwise @mimilyrics @LagosismyHome other guru pls help

The cheapest taxi ride from Birmingham airport to Walsall by taxi can’t be lower than £20-30!!!

Wales1111:
he got himself a taxi . 10 pounds to be precise.

People have warned on here several times not to mix business funds with personal funds. You need to be paying yourself salary monthly from your business account to your savings. Do that for minimum of 6 months, that way you will be able to calculate your disposable income

kaampe1:
Good evening house, and thanks for all the help and support you give freely to those of us who are not so familiar with the system.
Please I like to ask, if it's OK to submit just my business statement of account since am an entrepreneur and not really on a fixed salary. Although I have a savings account but the acct balance isn't much since I usually spend everything I put there.
Again do I need a leave approval letter since am my own boss.

Officially the visa will be cancelled when the uni reports to HO. They do this to protect their licence.

However, it could go 2 ways, either the company checks with HO and realise it’s been cancelled or you get away with it.

walesho:
Can someone work with student brp even though he/she stopped going to the school

Yes sure

preciouschiomy:
Should I include bank statement and tenancy agreement?

Write an invitation letter indicating that you will be responsible for her accommodation and feeding.

Attach a copy of ur BRP/International passport
Council tax letter and/or Utility bills as proof of address
Payslips
Birth certificate to proof she’s your biological mum

preciouschiomy:
Please I have a question. I want to invite my mum to spend 2 weeks with us. I hold EEA family member residence card. And due to childcare I work only 24 hours a week. My mum is self employed but the business is not registered. Please how do I go about it?
Note; hubby doesn't want to be a part of the invitation.

If he decides to change to another course within Same uni and same faculty, they might consider

just4obitex:
Hello @mimilyrics @justwise @ other gurus in the house please my friend is having a situation in the UK.
He studied chemistry here in Nigeria and applied for a course thats more of mechanical engineering. An agent helped him get a course. and he's travelled and discovered that they re three in the dept. He's noticed that the guys are all grounded in mechanical engineering and that even the assignments are not child's play, so he's asking if there's a way he can change his course now that he's already in the UK. Thanks for your time.

Check Samis store in Newtown, there’s an Asian meat shop not far from Sami’s too, they sell them

AirBay:
Hello sir/ma

Please where can I buy fresh beef organs (shaki, heart, kidney e.t.c.) popularly called 'inu eran' in the western part of Nigeria, in UK.

I am heading to Birmingham. I once lived in Sheffield but I could only get fresh liver at the market. I never came across others, are they banned or i have to get it directly from a butcher?

I could get frozen shaki but nothing pass to chop fresh one

I will be glad, if anyone based in Birmingham can help out.

A big congratulations to you, I’m so happy for you

@ Omopapa and all

Liberty heights?

phadexzhi01:
Thank you very much, yes, I have booked the student accomodation.

Yes u can fly to london but Birmingham airport is still the best option for you if u ask me.

There’s a direct train from Birmingham airport to Wolverhampton train station which is just 30-40mins. It is less stressful and cheaper compared to coming from Heathrow airport.

Also, if u add the cost of train from london to wolves to your flight ticket, it will almost equal direct flight to Birmingham.

The adv the london route have for you is that you said you have family there, so you can rest for few days before travelling down to the West Midlands.

Have you sorted accommodation in wolves yet?

phadexzhi01:
Hello Everyone, please I need your help. I’m to resume at University if Wolverhampton this month, I have already gotten my tier 4 visa . The closest airport to Wolverhampton is at Birmingham (which is expensive). I want to know if I can fly to london instead and observe the 14 day quarantine with my family there. I don’t want any issues with immigration. Any insights please?

Follow mimilyrics’s direction but next time Birmingham airport is ur best bet Cus it’s closer to Coventry

Preshnificient:
Please house how do I get to Coventry from Heathrow terminal 2? And what are the possible costs for the possible options? Please help.

Yes you can run ur apps in the U.K. just make sure u get ur token and set up online banking. You can make transfers in exchange for pounds.

Olly10:
Please can someone put me through as regards bank issue.
Can one still access Nigerian bank app while in London?
I don’t know if I’m to withdraw all my money and change it before traveling.
Awaiting response please
