Mrphilia: Is your surname constant in all documents? If the inconsistency is only in arrangement of first and other name, it might not be a major issue (I am not 100% sure about embassy though but I doubt it'll have a major impact on your application since your passport as well as other supporting documents are arranged correctly. I know using other names interchangeably isn't as much issue as your surname being switched with your name (then that becomes a complete change of identity). The most important things that make up your identity is surname, (first and/or second name, date of birth and your fingerprint |

Ayowolebami: My Surname is Consistent in all documents. I guess I would go ahead with the application then. |

Surname is most critical. If surname and one of the first name is constant, even better. If you're apprehensive, depose to an affidavit at a High Court. Just ensure, it's done properly. NB: the affidavit might not make any or much difference, but it can become the thin line between granted and decline before an overzealous VO In-between, I have name rearrangement in my first passport and subsequent passports, i scale through countries with ease.

Lexusgs430: Please I don't understand why 1 or 2 months. I intend to clear my CC bill in full every month. So for example, if it's 12 months contract...at £500/ month...I'll pay it monthly. Rather than buying the whole car £4k+ upfront. Will APR still apply? |

Good morning, pls does COS for tier 2 come with work date of 2 years? mine is saying work date from 2022-2024 do i need to inform my employer for the correction? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by semmyk(m): 9:05am On Oct 18, 2022 |
1. Most CC offers 55 days interest free. Some 3 mths, some 6 mths. 2. When the interest free period elapse, your APR kicks in. You become liable to paying the amount and the interest. For as long as the balance remains negative, interest will continue to mount on the balance due. A slow drift towards CCJ/HCJ ( 3. If you yank off £5k from your CC, depending on your interest free period, the amount to pay back is the £5k. If say your interest free period is 55 days, you're looking at about £2.5k for two mths (depending on the cycle). If your interest free period is 6mths, you might look at £1k per mth. (However, kindly note, there might be some 'minor' fees here and there; monthly card fees, life credit...) I think Amarathripple0 and lightnlife wrote a wonderful piece on CC. ugoonuoha: Lexusgs430: 2 Likes |

That's the period of sponsorship. Your visa should be pegged to two years in the first instance. If you want more, negotiate with your employer and get a new/updated COS hapiaka: |

ugoonuoha: My understanding was that you wanted to swipe £5K, from your CC, to buy a vehicle........... But it seems you want to buy a car on a 12 month contract, using your cc ?......? I doubt any car dealer would let you pay £500 per month, without signing a car finance deal............. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by ugoonuoha: 10:06am On Oct 18, 2022 |
Lexusgs430: Yes I'm referring to car finance deal. Longer term repayment plan. What are your thoughts on this option? Autotrader has a lot of "Finance" available options. I want to avoid the heavy upfront cost and spread over 12months max. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by mizGene(f): 10:19am On Oct 18, 2022 |
Mrphilia:Get a "one and the same person" affidavit as well and within the affidavit state the correct order of the names. |

Great to know that you are thinking of investment and not consumption. Let me drop few lines to guide you. However, I want to state that I am not your financial adviser so you are investing at your own risk as stocks are one of the most risky investment. Also, I am not making any investment recommendation for you as investment and financial planning practice in the UK is a highly regulated. Currently, the stock market is in a chaos due to Russian war in Ukrain and high interest rate policy pursued by Bank of England to fight inflation in the UK. A combination of these factors have prompted a huge sell-off in the market making the major UK stock market Index (barometer for measuring whether investors in stocks are making or losing money) has falling by 6.1% from Jan. to Oct - implying that those who buy stocks this year have lost money rather then made money. The good news is that if you are investing for long term - 3 to 5 years, buying stock now is a huge advantage since most of the stocks on the UK stock market are selling below their fair market value i.e. at a discount. The main concern is how will you be able to pick the right stocks that have strong fundamentals and how would you build a portfolio that will help you diversify your risk so that even if one or two stocks you buy are losing money, the other stocks in your portfolio will gain money and this gain will off-set the losses. I must tell you that it is quite a complex and technical process that is reserved for trained professionals who have gone through professional certifications such as CIMA, CFA, CISI, etc. and are licensed by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). I have got CIMA and passed CFA Level I but have not yet obtained my FCA license. I hope to obtain the FCA financial adviser license as soon as I receive my PSW permit, hence my refrain from making specific investment recommendation to you at this point. Olinga: 5 Likes |
