Hello, please I need your advice
I have received my visa and will arrive in UK on the 29th September.

I'm trying to get accomodation so I was asked to fill a form to prove my right to rent online.

I've been trying to prove my right to rent online on GOV.UK. I'm yet to arrive in UK so I haven't collected my BRP. I tried using my passport number instead but I'm getting this response

*the details doesn't match our records*


How i resolved this with a friend is that landlords are able to contact the appropriate place to confirm right to rent. Tell the landlord to confirm right to rent directly ...in 2 days this was confirmed back

health and care employees are entitled to but most employers will still say wait on the decision even though they can clearly see the guidelines…
Hmm, I guess it’s better to start working before the need to switch visa or renew!

As long as you submit an intime application, section 3c of the immigration act automatically extends your visa until a decision has been made. So yes you are allowed to work.


Sweet!

Bro….. You listen to Dean Durham’s Legal Hour on LBC? I don’t miss it. If and when I miss, I listen on catch up. The Aunty was willing to spend ££££ in the courts to take custody of the ashes of the DOG that has been cremated.
I was furious at how out-of-touch that woman was. I bet Buhari has never happened to her, else she will have better bings to fight over, than the ashes of a dead dog.

grin Baba enter reverse ◀️ straight.

Apparently, the call isn't for financial advisory but information, hence you can't be liable for anyone's failure or otherwise.

It's presumed to be pretty much like what's obtainable in the Investment Section of NL with threads on Mutual Funds, Bond, Stocks, Tbills, Crypto.

But it's your call to make. cheesy

Omo I’m emotionally downcast, even to find an instructor in my town is an extreme sport. Thanks a lot, I’ll do some research on the release date for appointments.
Release date is Monday mornings about 6am or so. Book an instructor then speak to him about getting closer dates, they sometimes are able to help.
There is a website too that sells test dates in different locations , but they don't hv a lot of variety/choices and you hv to keep checking for updates. driving test slots dot com

By notes, they mean "physical cash at hand you stored under your pillow at home grin" and not your money saved with a financial institution.

While cash is still allowed in the UK, polymer notes would be the cash acceptable for the denominations affected while your savings in the bank is NOT cash at hand.

Hence, even if you paid in the said paper notes as at the time you were depositing, the bank would issue you the legal tender (polymer notes) that's now acceptable in the UK when you're ready to take out your money.

Another cool freebie as previously mentioned is BA Amex Credit Card. Use it for Groceries and Transport, pay back in full without interest and accumulate points. These accumulated points can be used to pay for flight in so many Airlines, not just BA. They can also be used to pay Hotel bookings, Taxis, etc for trips abroad.

I have used the card for about 12 weeks and accumulated roughly 70,000 points which is enough for a trip to anywhere in the world really, free of charge.

Again, my link:

https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/jEDIDAcKK3?XL=MNANS

70,000 points in 12 weeks? That means you spent (or made purchases) worth ~ 70,000 GBP in 12 weeks. Right?
#BigBoy!
Or did you accumulate up to 70,000 Avios from the 4-6k free Avios you get when people use your referral code? Any which way, 70,000 Avios in 12 weeks is remarkable!

Eerm if you got a free lebara sim at tls, use it to open revolut account, get your money transferred to it, just get a few coins to use for trolley at the airport, you will be fine.

Or just try and see if you can open a pounds account in a Nigerian bank.

It's quite easy, if it's polymer notes then you should be fine. The paper notes are being withdrawn from circulation.
