What your friend said is true, but before you go ahead please read about UK spouse visa requirements to know if your woman meets the requirements. Its very expensive visa to apply for, so you have to gather a lot of documents.

There is spouse visa thread here, take your time and go through it for full understanding of what it entails.

I really don't understand the procedures anymore, it used to be straightforward by applying online, make payment then book appointment but now i'm not sure if the embassy is even opened let alone making an application.

Please, what location(s) is advised for a newly wedded Nurse about to relocate to the UK?

Spouse is a junior-level data analyst and won't mind working remotely.

Considerations would be on cost of accommodation, transportation, groceries; friendliness of community to blacks and newcomers; suitability for raising kids - schooling.

Dear Nigerian-UK forerunners, based on your insight and experience, kindly advise on locations to target based on profile above.

Thanks - Nagode - Daalu - Ese!

First of all I would avoid London. Staying 2yrs in London and paying nearly half of my salary for rent and another fraction for bills, with no assistance, largely kept me out of this group for months. I lived from shift to shift and nearly got my back broken, only to get home to be reminded that food stuffs is running out, and cable was giving a resuscription warning. I couldn't cope for long. Despite sticking to Amazon prime, and using only charity shop, the permutations did not balance.

I got a job up North without discussing this prior and informed my family that they could stay back if they wanted. Obviously they ran along. I still pay these things but its a fraction of what I earn, so I don't mind at all. All my expenses is not up to the rent I paid in London despite increased wages

The Midlands would be a place to look at, places like Stoke on Trent, Sherwood forest, Black country, Lincoln etc are all cheap but run down areas compared to the big 4, there is also a flux of Nigerians there, with Nigerian pastors opening ministries too. Pay 10% of your income to these dudes is at your discretion, I guess most are hustlers on suits. On the borders of Manchester but still in the Midland is chesterfield a very nice place too.

If you move toward Manchester avoid the city centre. Areas like Boston, Preston, the Pennines etc, is like living in Mowe but claiming Lagos. These would probably be cheaper than living in Manchester.

The north of England have some very affordable places too. Ranging from places like Scunthorpe a near shot hole, to Bradford that is filled with Muslims and blacks, but are both affordable places to the very deprived Hull where Doctors are paid to train. Leeds, wakefield, Sheffield are all big cities from the Yorkshire point of view but are quite affordable. I would avoid York itself if it
you want to save money. While it's beautiful, and heavenly to live in, its cost of living is close to London in some ways. There are other largely rural areas in Yorkshire, people own 2-3 horses here, and a lot of farm lands, things are pretty cheap and organic.

You can live in Newcastle, Sunderland, middlesborough and it's surrounding areas with a fraction of your income. Those areas though cheap are quite cold and you cold end up being impregnated by your husband every year in a bid to cure cold, and end up with more child care bills.


I could write about Essex, but I found Chelmsford expensive but beautiful to stay in.

Lastly let the one true guide lead you to were you will find comfort and peace

But I would avoid London, Cambridge, oxford or the other big 4 as a rule of thumb

[b][/b]”The very deprived hull”. By this do you mean Hull so deprived that nothing is happening there?
Nah wao are you sure I will still go to this Hull university

lynniebabes:


Pickup and deliver to same Manchester? What is the cost?

sgtponzihater1:


Not in that sense boss. It's a good place. Deprived in term of their own yardstick. But for us it's affordable and a sensible place to start.

Google is the best plug for the information you need. 1Search for Universities that offer the course,
2 put a call throught to them to be sure they accept international students (cos some do not).
3. Ask about their interview process (it used to be done in person/on site pre-covid).
4. Best of luck to her

Please are visitors to the UK eligible to take the vaccine? If so how do they go about it?

LagosismyHome:


This what a friend told me and how she went about it for her MIL.

Visitors are not charged and allowed to take either the test and vaccine for free. However for vaccine the NHS number was required.... so what she did was call her gp and explained that her MIL needs the vaccine and is a visitor. The MIL was register in that gp with no check on I'd or address. The NHS number came shortly after and they were able to book the vaccine

However the write up below makes it seems you don't even need NHS number so maybe she could have just gone to the website and book the vaccine without gp registration. Because it says
vaccination against coronavirus
No immigration checks are needed.

Pickup from most post codes is £18 for a 0-30kg cardboard box. Delivery to Manchester depends on plenty things. From where? Weight of item etc. Kindly send a pm for more deets. Thank you.
