they dnt care about change of name. If you are married, you are married. Answering your father’s name whilst married in this world doesn’t stop anything

Please guys, I need advice on this.

My course has the option to choose from either a dissertation or a work-based project. Personally, I would prefer the second option because of the work experience it will offer, but I suspect one may need to find the placement himself. Please, which is best out of these options, and if I'm to go for a work-based project, any idea how best to find an employer for it? Thanks
Ask your school na....(personally I would choose work based)

Nationwide Bank served me breakfast yesterday.

Waiting for Lloyds bank and one other place. Hopefully, I'll get in. One of the guys I know who took the internship and currently works at Lloyds said I shouldn't worry and they'll call me as they increased their quota by a bit

Fingers crossed smiley
For Lloyds, is an internship or apprenticeship?

I really dont understand the Nigerian obsession with Ikoyi registry with all the stress. Do you seriously expect people from Bornu state to come to Ikoyi? Tells you all you need to know grin

Its not the only one that can be used for travel purposes. Your Ikeja or surulere or ota registry does the exact same thing

I have just applied for a tier 2 update.

For some reason, I didn't get the immigration ID check app invite like before, I had to book a physical appointment...Anyone know why? Or they just figured they are not making money through that?

No appointments available anytime within 3 weeks, the few available appointments were in crazy far places and also not free..so unfair. Why does one need to pay for an appointment slot after paying for visa?? Why not make the free slots available for all?

Also the IHS thing is really annoying. I have switched or updated Visas a couple of times, each time I had some months (3 to 5) leftover but they conveniently forget how to do proper accounting and bring a balance forward.. but if you owe the government one pound of tax or debt, they will come after you even 20years later with a hammer.
Also when you think about it, For those working in exempt organisations...why do they need to pay that IHS in the first place and then come back to claim a refund?? The home office has access to national databases, they have the sponsor licence number and this should be enough to let those ppl off but no, they want them to pay amd probably forget about claiming or if they switch visas in future, they won't meet the 6 months payslip criteria for claims..

I feel exploited sha embarassed embarassed sha especially because I needed this urgently and didn't have a choice and also because I have just haemorrhaged some hard earned cash.. cheesy
All these students and people with families doing PSW and tier 2 processing....I can only imagine what they go through sad

Asking for someone, pls how can someone get a factor work or kitchen assistance work in Liverpool.

Also, does a student tax exemption covers the partner too. Or will the partner pay his/her tax separately.

Hello
I went for renewal of my Nigeria passport on December 15th last year at the Nigeria embassy in London and my passport isn't ready.I have tried calling their number but it's not going through. Also tried tracking it on royal mail and it's showing passport not registered.
Please I'm really tired of the wait as I need to use it immediately. I'll be grateful if anyone can suggest how to go about it.

Thanks while I await responses.
For those who are asking, my international passport was delivered today. I completed biometrics on November 3, 2022, in London. The anticipated delivery date was January 4, 2023, according to the date on the acknowledgement copy that was captioned on phone. Give or take any glitch, that means the arrival date will be around one week later.

The UK government like to play dumb/busy on things that patterns to updating system or improving process, but smart when it comes to getting money off immigrants. When you think of how smart they claim and how they tend to act unaware to some things you can only tell it’s a selfish act.

If Nigeria ever gets a good president (now or in the nearest future), believe me, over 50% will leave the UK. I would have said 80% but since I did not carry out any survey, make I leave am for 50%.

The country is a rip off, environment is not healthy, people get serious health disease/infection without knowing what they have gotten. Spend lots of money on electronics (dehumidifier, purifier n its likes) just to stay healthy and alive.

To be honest, if not for language and security I would have preferred India or South Africa to living in this UK (that’s comparing with Nigeria’s current state).
