grandma123: You can switch, it won’t reset. You can even combine the following visa categories with your Tier 2 to complete the 5 years needed for ILR 1 Like

Hello house Please I need a driving instructor number All the ones I looked on google map Seems to be fully booked till October I drive back in Nigeria But I just want to brush up my driving for 1 or 2 session..Make I day cruise my new 08 model car |

Khalifa99:It depends on the area you live in, you can streamline your search to your location using google. I’m sure you’d find an available opening. Also this is unsolicited but as a newbie UK driver, google map and waze are what I use to help navigate my way around, just one week shy of driving and I’m a lot more confident on the road and it feels like I’ve been driving here for years. So basically, just take the car out and drive. No dey fear 2 Likes |

Hello everyone. I want to ask a question please no judging. I recently moved here on student visa with my family. I discovered that I am pregnant now and we already have 2 little boys. I am so scared and worried. I haven't even started work as we only recently settled down. We have only been here 3 months. Please anyone ever been in this situation? How did they navigate it? Or what advice can anyone give me please. I am so down and feeling defeated already. Please advise me. Thank you. Joy |

tiptoe1: Yes you can. If you'd be granted is a different question, but personally, I'm quite confident you will be granted he visa as you have a long term residence in the UK. |

Thank you for your reply. The issue of getting a job. I dont know how possible it is to get employment now that I am pregnant as I do not want all the pressure on my husband. I don't even know how to cope with three kids especially here. I'm also worried about child care and expenses. We had plans of working towards a tier 2 but I am so uncertain of somethings at the moment. Thanks. justwise: |

Amarathripple0: No go dey give too much ginger oh. Everyone is not the same. A wholesome fear of driving in the UK, especially when not accompanied, is not a bad thing. Driving on the opposite of the road can be daunting for some people, before OP goes to do solo driving and jam train I drove for over 15yrs in Nigeria before coming to the UK. I recently drove in US and was struggling to maintain the correct lane, adapting is not easy. 2 Likes |

Lexusgs430: This is a very valid advice. Don't just see a cheap car and then rush to purchase it. You have to a matter if necessity, consider your size. |

Joyfuljoyful: You can still work for some months to save a bit to buy baby stuff. Child care shouldn't be an option now unless you have truck load of money, your best option now is night shift so that your hubby will look after the kids after school. Both of you can pull it off just have to scarifies a lot for the next one year 8 Likes |

Joyfuljoyful: My dear, you don't have to be so worried. I wish I can tell my UK story, maybe I would someday. Pregnancy for a married woman is a blessing, okay? We can't give much advice because everyone's situation is unique but I can encourage you with my full chest that you will be fine. My advice: Your husband should focus on working hard for the next one year while you focus on the kids, schooling and your pregnancy. Of course, your husband will also help with the kids as much as he can. If you're able to squeeze out time, you could get a job as well but it's fine if you don't work especially if childcare is expensive in your area. Track and monitor your expenses very closely to be able to save where you can: basically live low-key for the next year. Have fun in an affordable way to keep you upbeat: take walks, etc. This is my personal advice to just encourage you. Many people are in your shoes, you're not alone, okay? Sending you love, joy and light. 19 Likes |

Joyfuljoyful: You are not alone on this, I know at least two families in your situation, one is actually the main applicant and expecting their first child. You can look for weekend jobs that will suit your husband’s study time table while he does night if you can’t handle night shift. 4 Likes |

Joyfuljoyful: Please look at everything squarely, cause I know some women pregnancy can be very stressful. It brings out aggressiveness, if this happen it will affect everything you ever want to do here. That been said if you check and it looks tough pls and pls abortion is free in UK. Don’t put stress on yourself that will affect you and your mental health. 7 Likes |

Good day everyone. My Visa (dependant of Health and Care) just came back and I discovered that they made a mistake in my day of birth on the vignette. 08 instead of 09 was written. What can I do to have them correct it? Or can I travel with it like that? Like how long can it take for the correction? Cos I just plan to travel and remain at Abuja until the correction is made. Thanks. |

Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Josh121(m): 6:16pm On Aug 12, 2022 |
justwise: A lot can go wrong, she is the student, don’t forget she is not carry the pregnancy for 3months, the husband on the other hand will be working more that 40hrs a week, he may not have time to be home as everyone is suggesting. A pregnant woman need someone around her almost always. ( it may not be everyone but I am talking from my own experiences) 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by justwise(m): 6:27pm On Aug 12, 2022 |
Josh121: So all these you mentioned are worse than taking out the pregnancy,? This is not here first or second child so she has an experience Even if she is a student it doesn't change much, all she has to do is to speak to her university and she will be given time to finish her final project. My point is this..abortion is not the easiest solution 6 Likes |
