You can try but it appears you didn't tell them about your status before abandoning the job. If job still available you might get it though



I did explained I have an application and gave them my UAN but they were not patient with me and I don't think it can be termed abandonment as the contract equally expired with student BRPq

To secure spot for interview using indeedflex is hard. I have tried and tried...the message is no roles available, try again.

Do you mean the Florence academy? Or Florence like an app?

Gurus in the house how're you all doing?

If a tier 4 dependent is able to switch visa to tdier 2 (carework to be precise) can they apply for IHS refund and will the total amount of money paid for IHS be refunded?

Secondly, what and what is classified as public funds?

Good evening good people

I need guidance on this please.

My wife's passport has expired and we are preparing to renew it. Now the issue, my wife's passport has on it her maiden name which she didn't change after we got married and made it down to the uk. She wants to change the name to my name but we know she has to do that on her NIN first before we put in the passport renewal application. We got a place to do the NIN thing here in the Uk and the person said it can be done.

1.Someone is telling us that it would no longer be a passport renewal but she'd have to apply for a new passport
2. How easy or should i say, how possible will it be to change from her maiden name on all her Uk documentations eg. School, Job, Bank accounts, brp, driver's license, credit cards, tenancy agreement etc......to her new name (Mine)

That is where the issue is, the stress of having to do all that is already putting me off. Please i need advise. And also we intend to apply for NIN and a Nigerian passport for my 7weeks old son. Pls what are the things i would need to apply for it. And is it advisable to apply for a passport for my son yet ?? he was birthed here in the UK, there's been talks of us not getting the child into the Nigerian system as this would affect him as per say if we want him to have british citizenship and all. Cos we intend for him to visit nigeria even if its just for 2wks.

Edakun, pls advise.

Got reference from an old employer here as I had worked with another agency Sha before joining Florence but for indeedflex you can use any category for your reference.i would think indeedflex is a better place to start if you haven't got any care experience

In my opinion, there's no need for her to change name unless you both have reasons she really needs to.

Okay, this means for us to proof we're married we will have to tender our marriage certificate as evidence seeing we bear different names on our passport and brp.

For your wife to change her name..
she has to do her NIN.
If she has a previous NIN with her maiden name, then it requires modification of data on nin. She will have to modify from her maiden name to her marital name.
If this is her first NIN she needs to register as normal.
Go online and google Nimc centres in UK, find the closest to you. It is not free. Costs between 35 to 60 pounds for an adult.

When she gets her NIN, she will need to apply for a passport. If she is using your name, pls the NIN details have to correspond with what she will go onto to fill for her passport. Any difference and she would not be able to get a passport without going for change/modification.
If it is agreed she wants to change to marital name on her passport and she has gotten a NIN with same marital name, please she should start with filling the change of data request form part and not reissue.. change of data will ask her what she is changing.. she simply selects due to marriage and also selects what has happened to her former passport.. either expired, damaged, lost or active.
With that she will be able to complete the right form and pay for it online.

As for your son, all the things you have written about british citizenship and what not is false. Ur child can not leave the UK and enter back for now without a passport and brp.
So if u plan on travelling with him you should get him a passport and brp.
He can also travel on an emergency travel certificate to Nigeria but it is one time and he would need to do a passport in Nigeria before coming back otherwise no way out.
So if you decide you want to get a passport for your child now at the High Commission, you should start with getting him a NIN. Same process for getting a NIN for an adult is applicable for a child. All now need NIN for passport even a 1 day old.

Thank you for this. God bless you. I might have to settle with continuing with her maiden name. Another issue raised is if we are supposedly going to change to my name, how do we go about changing the name on all her UK documentations. Do we have to go one by one to all the agencies like bank, dvla, her employer to notify them of the name change and therefore a new brp, new credit card, new dbs will be issued on her new name. The cumbersomeness of doing all these is what's putting me in this dilemma

Yes you have to notify all that she has changed names and then each organisation will tell you how to effect that change. For BRP you will need to get a replacement BRP or simply always leave the country and return with the old passport and the marriage certificate copies as you maybe asked by border force.
I also forgot to mention, Nigerian passport change of name by marriage requires a marriage certificate, newspaper publication, affidavit of change of name, husband’s consent/permission letter allowing her to bear his name grin and husband’s passport data page

For CASH LISA account holders, do not forget to get the £4,000 into it to get the free 25% ((£1,000) by end of tax year in 5th April 2023. This could be used to deposit for your first mortgage house. Husband and wife less than 40 years could open this account and save upto £10,000 each tax year until both reach 50 years when you cannot save money in the LISA account.


For STOCK & SHARES ISA account holders, do not forget to max out the £20,000 allowance per tax year, 5th April, 2023. When you max out the £20k in stocks and shares ISA account, you can keep putting more funds in your General Investment Account.

There are so many stocks that are quite cheap in NYSE...you can cherry pick good dividend paying stocks with dividend yields upto 6-8%.

Remember that profits from stocks and share lSA account and dividend payments from your stocks and shares ISA account are not TAXABLE....tax man doesn't look into these earnings

Slow and steady win in the market....

HAPPY 2023.....


Please can you throw more light on this please. How does one go about it?

The two occasions I contacted Lloyds, one told me they don't offer it, the other one said there's nothing like that
