Meanwhile my baby is now in school oo, I think we are more excited than the child sef. After relocating as a baby, I struggled with childcare, combining fulltime work with nursery runs etc we are now free from Nursery charges grin grin. Although we are porting to Morning and afternoon club cost but its a relief from full time childcare cost.

Good day,
Please kindly treat as urgent

Our flight is on Saturday, filling the passenger locator form and it's asking for a UK phone number. What can one do about it since we don't have a UK phone number yet?

Thank you in advance

Please is it possible for someone on tier4 to become an apprentice for plumbing work?
Well I feel it wont be possible based on the visa you are currently on... I think it only allows for degree programs and 20hr/week plan ... except if you are doing apprenticeship secretly...
If I'm wrong here elders, gurus and ancients can correct me or shed more light

Interesting!!

My naija license expired few days ago but my intentional driving permit it still active.
Do you think I can use it? @ deept

Sorry, don't know about that but advisable to get the UK license as soon as you can. There might be no problems with you driving but God forbid if you have to claim insurance that is when you start to hear stories.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Bourne007(m): 8:49am On Sep 03, 2021
Not sure. Usually gov forms come with set of instructions of where, when, how to complete one Inc fees.

Choose self swap at home. The supervised form is too expensive , the on site option is very cheap but impracticable and stressful depending on your location and that of the provider.
The day 5 test to release is worth it if you have the money for two reasons, 1. If you are banking on the day 8 test you may not be able to go out until day 12 because posting the samples to the provider takes 2 days and to analyse and assess the samples takes another 2 days. The second reason being that the day 5 test offers an additional safeguarding because before using each kit , it must be activated , I did experienced some code activation failures myself but because I had the optional day 5 test I was able to beat the delay failures mighty have caused.
As for the telephone number , your Nigerian number will serve the purpose, only make sure the line is well loaded because roaming fee is very high even when you are only being called.

Tell that person to graduate first and use PSW to apply. You can't switch even before you graduate
Why so? I got a job with sponsorship in Feb, not even half way through my programme. It saves the cost of GRADUATE VISA, that eventually doesn't count towards settlement.

He/she should take the job if he is apply to stay in that field or with the employment for the next two years.

Dante is disappointing everyone here. Check their reviews online. I used them too, and I was lucky to get day 2 results in less than 24hours. Test to release results didn’t come till now. Day 8 results too, no show till now.

They also don’t respond to emails and have no customer care line for complaints. Stay away from them.

TTR is a risk, I'd say wait for your day 2 test result before you book it. You can take day two test on or before day 2 so take the test as soon as you arrive.
If someone on your plane just tests positive, you are likely to be called by test n trace and you have to stay for the whole 10 days. If you like, book 2 TTR, you won't be able to go out and worse, you won't get a refund.

Also, if your test kit never arrives after paying, call 119 and they will be able to send you a replacement kit.

If you don't get a result too, call 119 but make sure you have your test kit barcode for reference pruposes.

Accept the offer, finish your studies and take up the job/switch visa. I believe the organisation making the offer know the applicant is on tier 4 and needs sponsorship hence the offer.
I know people who got offers with sponsorship just after the end of their 1st semester around January/February for September/October start.

Hello, please I am coming into Bradford in a few days with my 6 year old daughter. She has finished pry 1 here in Nigeria and is currently moving to pry 2. Is there anything I need to get from her current school in Nigeria? Also, will she be able to get admission into a primary school in Bradford for this term? Any tips on how to apply for her?
