Hey all Apologies i have been away, not been well had 2 weeks of sick from my work with really bad anxiety, all well now though. Im nearing for hubby to submit which is next month (jeez that seems weird saying next month ha ha) Few questions: i) Does hubby need a copy of our marriage certificate to submit in Nigeria, since I have it in the UK with me and Ikoyi wont issue a copy? ii) My payslips are all online, they have the company logo etc, do I need these to be stamped too? (I am supplying payslips from April 2014 to the most recent) My bank have agreed to stamp my online ones, but did say HO should accept them. iii) What is the website address to start the application? iiii) Please can you advise me of what happens once hubby has filled out the application online, and is it worth to pay for the priority service? Thank you Karen (10 days till I am in Lagos, to see hubby whoopie) |

Romance / Re: What Is The Excitement Of Wedding Night When Your Wife Is Not A Virgin? by Portsmouth86(f): 1:22pm On Sep 19, 2015 |
Sagamite: Can I just point out that virginity does not have to be broken by intercourse Having a hymen and being a virgin are not the same thing. There are other ways that a hymen can be stretched open, by inserting something into the vagina (like a tampon or a finger) riding a bicycle, or doing sports. And some girls are born with so little hymenal tissue that it seems like it was never there. A virgin is someone who has never had sex. But "sex" is defined differently by different people. A lot of people think that women and men lose their virginity the first time they have penis-in-vagina intercourse (vaginal sex). But this definition is really limited because it leaves lots of people and other types of sex out of the picture. Some people who haven't had vaginal sex don't think of themselves as virgins because they've had other kinds of sex, like oral or anal sex, yet having any kind of sex vaginal, anal or oral is still sex So not all women bleed after her first time and not all women find it painful, if a man knows how to take the time to pleasure his women then sex should never be painful, if shes tense then your doing something wrong ...simples |

Would it raise red flags that I recently had a Natwest bank loan, which i decided to take out to consolidate my small creditors and tidy up my accounts which as a result I have much less outgoings? I have a letter from Natwest, the loan was just £4000. thanks |

Hi all I need some advice on the bank statements I will need to supply to Sheffield for hubbys spouse visa application My bank statements are online PDFs ive printed, and I seem to be just going over everything like a million times. I have seen conflicting information in the immigration appendix it states this: (1) on official bank stationery; or (2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear th e official stamp of the issuing bank on every page. All my pdf have headed paper etc. has anyone had to get these stamped, my bank NatWest have said they do not stamp statements. Please advise thanky you |

FrontPageLawyer: Lufthansa is a huge airline, very funny with fare rules, as a travel consultant i know them to be very difficult to deal with when making any changes as they have so many restrictions should you need to make changes, but as a passenger you should be fine. http://www.airlinequality.com/seat-reviews/lufthansa/ the reviews are not too good, but then it all depends on what you are looking for or what is your preference when looking for flights, is it cheapest vs fastest etc. Also dont be afraid to use other airlines such as Iberia(owned by British airways) , Royal Air Moroc where you will find tickets at a fraction of the cost of direct flights with Virgin or BA. |
