Write letter and submit

Santa2:
I have got a perculiar question, just want to know if someone has been in a similar situation..I made a mistake while filling my kid on dependant application skilled work visa (not health care). I checked yes for having ILR /british citizen (dont know how in Gods name I missed that even after several reviews). Hence it didnt ask me for my COS while filling it, even though it did ask me for the type of visa I was on and I paid for the visa length(Skill work visa already issued). I noticed the error while booking biometric appointment. I am thinking of adding a letter of explanation to clarify this error and attaching my COS. Or option 2 will be to withdraw the application and apply again(expensive option). Dont know if anyone has been in similar shoes, done letter of explanation and received visa

Hello family.

Mighty thanks to everyone who's contributed positively to this thread so far. I have a question.

Does a dependent still need to show financial evidence even if the main tier 2 visa holder has a COS from his employer.

It depends.
If your employer ticks maintenence for the applicant and dependants. You don't need POF.
But if the employer says maintenance is only for the applicant, then Dependant needs to show POF. For a Spouse and two kids, you may need about #2m.

You can still use OhentPay for naira to pounds and pounds to naira. There are lots of other currencies too.

Just add récipient for the country and currency of choice and you are good to go. They charge 1000 naira per transaction for Naira to pounds, add your UK account as recipient.

You can Sign up with this link to get your first transfer for free https://www.ohentpay.com/i/BD013843B1

Xiaomi had a store in Westfields, but brand snubbery killed the store ........

Your Xiaomi taste, can now be quenched only via AliExpress, Alibaba, eBay etc etc ........

Why do you only want Xiaomi.........

Buying via operator, you get warranty throughout your contract.........

Independent, you only get basic warranty.........

Makes sense going with the mobile operator only issue is they won't pre-qualify me due to the poor credit history. I only started building it and I don't want to put the phone purchase on credit card yet.

Xiaomi has this dual space feature I currently use on the Redmi Note 5 version and I have lots of my financial apps running there (you know that SARS dem wahala dat year naa grin). I also have my general Whatsapp there so I don't need to attend to every calls... I just peep and check if I want it or not)

I notice on their official website they deliver locally and also at Currys buy the buy no pay later payment be what I de look for.... Any idea how I can get past the credit check thing? How long before dem go start see me naaa grin

Passed Driving Test First Attempt.

I actually followed the advice from this forum.

Got an instructor that charged me half of normal price because I used my car to learn, tho I’m still within the 1 year limit for international drivers licence holder.

Also, I watched almost 10 different videos of about 20-25 mins long from (DGN driving school mock test).
Only the mock test nothing else from the channel.

My insurance is now around (£1.1k) for 1.6l engine diesel car, due to the the Uk licence.

Good advice from our predecessor on this forum.

Thanks for all the Good job.

Will also try to be an active participant to also help others with advices that has worked well for me or people around me.
