From this experience, can I conclude that I can also do something similar? I have a spousal visa application pending too as I'm trying to switch from student visa, but I have the chance to get a tier 2 visa through an employer. Can I just apply for tier 2 and cancel spousal visa based on that, as the employer won't take me on a student visa?
CheesyTee:
I didn't withdraw my application. HR issued another COS and I submitted a new application without withdrawing the first.

I was asked if I have a pending application, I selected yes and provided the application number for it. Old application was nullified

Nothing... not until you want to renew your visa or travel out of the country


profemebee:
thanks.

Generally, what happens to valid visas on expired passports?

I still have just over 6months left on the passport.. I think I will wait an extra month to see if I get my spousal visa extension approval from HO

You would not get a study loan, from any financial institution.......

So your only choice is a personal loan....... Let's assume you request a personal loan of £10,000 * 2 (assuming it gets approved) ......

Think thoroughly about your repayment plans ..... Make you no go chop fish, with crazy bones ......😜🤣

NB : I just got a loan illustration..... On a £10,000 loan, over 36 month's........ No be small repayment o, assuming you require £20,000 ........😂
Lexus baba ,please help me to break down the total repayment depicted below as i know understand all these apr jargons embarassed:
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Bourne007(m): 6:34pm On Mar 12, 2023
You can 'vary your application' at any time by making a different application. You are better off on a spousal visa though

kindly help me to break down the total repayment depicted below :


£229.21 * 36 months

Interest on £10,000, is £771.56 ........

Apr is fixed at 5%, throughout the loan duration......

NB : That was an illustration based on my personal credit score ........ Your credit score could be much better than mine, meaning you get a better apr + lower total amount repayable.........

Not sure i understood the bolded part in your response

One more question pls..

For a successful spousal visa extension, will my passport be stamped like the first spousal visa (I didn't submit the original passport though)? or just BRP will be changed with a letter from HO?

Good Morning House,

I’ll like to know how to go about newborns payment of IHS, I haven’t seen/read any distinct way even after going through previous pages and ukvi site. Has anyone (a student) given birth In the uk and paid the Ihs fee for the baby, kindly help. It stated that babies can receive treatment up until 3 months, but baby passport will be needed for payment processing and you guys know how Naija passport issues can be.
Kindly help explain if you have gone through this before.

How many black parents are killers or got flagged in any of the high profile cases?

Meanwhile, schools n SW are usually quick to raise eyebrows when cases of safeguarding happens to black parents while looking the other way when e reach their people turn.

You are just getting to know your hosts for who they truly are - they are masters in twisting words. They do this even against themselves. You just have to get your words right and insist on it - don’t change your words every now and then, no matter what form the questions take.

Hello

No transit visa is required for layoff in Istanbul as long as you don't plan on leaving the airport.

I don't know about the free hotel but you may be best served asking TA.

Those social workers are evil, they gave 2 kids recording devices to monitor the kids' conversation with their parents and instructed the kids not to inform their parents about the devices. The whole thing started when the kids said in school that one was beaten and the other one was asked to face the wall. The parents were invited and questioned, but refuted the allegations. Days later, the kids were given recording devices with chargers.


It’s an agenda.
New immigrants need to be careful.
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by Bourne007(m): 2:25pm On Mar 13, 2023
Any visa are typically not trackable. You just need to wait till they notify you.

Yes, I think it is.

I sincerely need all the help I can get as I have just been made aware by the Family Support Worker that he has made a referral to LADO. I am just confused and worried because of my profession, I don’t know what to do.
Please anyone with a useful information that can help my cause kindly reach out. These people are seriously on my case even though I have not been found wanting, it is even my wife that is even stricter with the children. Now they are trying to attack my career, to destroy everything I have laboured for…


You would come out of it better.
Keep calm and approach professionals who are church members, friends, networks etc for professional advice.

Good afternoon famz,

I am going through alot of mental stress right now, UKVI has really dealt with me so badly without committing any crime. I applied for a student visa, priority to be precise, bio was done on 20th of January, decision was made on 23rd January and I got BRP mail on 26th of January but could you believe that since then ukvi refused to send my passport back to TLS for collection, I have been battling with this for long, I keep going to IKEJA TLS but the truth is even the so called TLS are not ready to help and now my school told me not to bother coming again even if my passport is return back to me. Right now I want to ask, can ukvi be sue and also how can I request for my IHS refund? Please house help me


This usually happens during rush intake seasons.
Head to the UK student thread and you ll see someone who’s gone thru this and conquer in that thread.

I’m a newly qualified social worker. This is 💯. Spot on

My 7 yr son was asked to write a composition in school and the young lad wrote a Robin Hood kind of story. How the thief would rob Amazon warehouse and bring home toys and bikes for his children. He went on by saying the the thief was caught and he ended up being his dad. While the schools acknowledged his creativity I was invited for a chat about my past and a fresh background check was conducted on me. The young lad was also questioned and he told them he was simply trying to portray the extent his dad would go because he loves them. Matter still nor end till I called their bluffs. Meanwhile I wasn’t living in the same county with my family as at the time.

With that in mind, I ensured I erased the hard-steel naija parenting style from their memories to avoid future invitations using those steps you mentioned above


Hmmmmm.

Yes, I carry them along, and I have been receiving lectures online and yet they told me not to come any more


That’s not helpful on the part of the school.
Know of Uni of Chester whose students got delayed for months on similar cases and yet were supported all the way and still meet up with physical classes.
I guess, things change every term time and things are getting stricter.

Catholic is far better.

A close fellow had his child dehumanised by the school and secretly put on the Autism spectrum class and activities w/o parental knowledge or consent.
The child will go to school and come back with wounds.

I am not there all the time especially when they are eating... The rot has set in - that is a fact of life. She eats junk and gives the kids junk.

We are in the UK - you cannot force kids to do much... They now have a sweet tooth and are used to junk; it is not easy to change.

I cannot change the missus my advice and warnings - she has brought her Nja mentality and food habits; moreover, money now dey to eat any old thing.

I am mad about it because it gives a headache when I have to feed them or watch them eat sh1t or come home to one of them whispering that they have had KFC or something like that!

She had the children before they came over and did not take my advice and warnings - you can make it what you like!

She also got into hot bother with the school - my mistake; leave Nja people alone to their nonsense, I have learnt my lesson.



‘ leave 9ja people with their nonsense’ …….not aware KFC, McDonalds etc - junk experts - are 9ja franchises.
