Hello everyone.
Does anyone know how life is in Dunfermline? I got a job there and I'm planning on relocation

You will like it there. Its a quiet town and its quite popular for those who can't afford to buy a house in Edinburgh or those looking for more space for their money.

Its just about 30 to 40 mins drive to Edinburgh. You have to drive across this long bridge(i think its called the new forth bridge). A bit scary for some but with time you'll get used to it.

In terms of jobs, it's a strategic location as you are about 45mins from Edinburgh and Glasgow and around 30mins or so from Stirling. These are cities with a lot of job opportunities compared to Aberdeen which is literally dead job wise. You can easily commute from dunfermline to any of the surrounding cities I've mentioned.

Hello guys, I just got into Uk

Please can someone share the email format for securing an appointment with IOM Ikeja? I've sent and sent and sent emails. I am tired.

Option 1:
Call their customer care number (it's in their website), they will tell you what to do. When I was doing mine, anytime I call them, they pick and talked to me nicely.

Option 2:
Something in the line of
Dear ...
Kindly book me for TB test for the purpose of visa application to UK. My details are:
Full name:
Passport number:
Destination country:
DoB/Age:

Regards.

Wait for at least 3 working days for their response.

Option 3: go to their office in the morning (plan to stay outside till evening), the security men will tell you to go and send email, but sometimes a rep comes outside to attend to people. The rep will ask if you have sent email and has not gotten response for at least 3 days, if your answer is yes, she will take your email and promise to book you for the next available date.

Do what Viruses suggested above esp that email part. Send the email with your passport number and details and not just long stories in it.

Alternatively, use VPN and comb their booking portal, you'll see a date.
Cheers.

Thanks

I have checked using the link however the status is not updated for example it did not even show that I have done biometric . The last update was passport application received verified and sent to work station

DrObum:

For visa purposes, yes.

Thanks. I used to think IOM was a charity.

Ok there may be delays due to unavailability of booklets etc

The global talent has researcher and digital technology amongst others. Each has the exceptional and the 'promising' (something like that)
The exceptional offers you 3 years route to ILR, else it's same 5 years.
Doesn't seems the OP qualifies for the promising based on the scenario. Obviously, not the exceptional.

giselle237:
If you are on student route, you can continue on that.. as long as legal and all going well, you will be on 10 year route to ILR.
and if u switch to work visa.. it is either u spend 5 years on the work visa to ILR or u combine both student status and work status and any other legal status for 10 years to ilr. They are not same.
If you decide to switch to spouse kwa, you restart on 5 year route from the date the visa is granted
No shortcuts.
...
Someone also mentioned global talent or smthin of 3 yrs, I dnt know about it so much so pls use google
Concentrate on getting your student visa first.. when you get in, all will make more sense then

For someone who has student visa of 1year. Then work visa later on

Haba....... Look on the brighter side ........

- Deposit would be minimal
- Repayments would also be very minimal

It's called, shared generational debt responsibility payment ....... No point rushing, you have 50 years to pay it all up .......

Interest payments would put a very big smile on the lenders face.......... But they are robbing your back, you have to rub their back too ...........

Yes now, for a 50yr mortgage just imagine how much interest you'd have to pay on that. Instead of focusing developing more affordable housing and preventing all these shady investment practices that drive up the price of the remaining housing stock, the government is instead ensuring its coffers remain topped up to the brim.
This scheme is designed like almost everything else, to take advantage of the poor, though it seems like it's meant to help them when considered at face value.

Hi, can someone please kindly share link to book for international passport renewal.
Thank you

It's give and take........ On the 50th year, the children/grand children, would have fully paid up......

Then the children/grand children, would enjoy and hopefully start building wealth..........

One must suffer, for others to enjoy........

Hope the mortgage will be at 0.5% since it's a long term debt of 50 years?

Hello guys, I just got into Uk and I’m not really settled due to lack of funds. Is there anyone here that can help me with a loan? I can pay back monthly for say 12months.

Are you a student?

The children/grand children will have to pay inheritance tax innit? So when they take possession from their parent, they lose equity, innit?

Are you a student?

No inheritance tax ..... It's a new scheme, that would put into consideration, all implications........

Interest rate would be lower enough, to attract the intended.........

It would not be for all, but an available option....... Best to have some more options.........

The children would have a choice, continue with mortgage, or face repossession........

And become homeless...........

NB : Nah only small remain to pay, why waste your inheritance........

jumpshot:


Show proof please.No money sha

Honestly nobody in my cohort has been able to book online. Over 20 of us
