Hi all,

Has anyone here tried to renew their Nigerian passport in the UK? What's the process like please? I've visited the website several times but can't seem to progress beyond the page where I input the reason for passport renewal. It also navigates to a login page meanwhile I don't see any link for creating an account (which I assume is required before you can log in, in the first place).

Thanks!

I renewed my passport and it took about 2 months before obtaining the PP.
Read this link below, perhaps it could shed light.

Hi,

Please is there a delivery company that can bring in palm oil and other foodstuffs from Nigeria to the UK

Yes, I just got 10 liters of palm oil from Naija. I think it cost about N28k or so

Absolutely (at the bolded: #soleincome). What I understand Lexusgs430 alluding to is where both are working (having income) and only one is paying (or expected to pay or 'arm twisted' to pay) bills.

claremont:
There are many families up and down this country with a sole income. A sole parent works to pay the bills whilst the other parent takes care of the kids at home. What works for family A might not work for family B, there is no one size fits all. The problem, I find, with 2 parents working to split bills is that a large chunk of it is spent on childcare which defeats the whole purpose of both parents working in itself.

Lexusgs430:
........
One person no dey pay bills for the UK, person go just die (whilst the other person is just buying bags and sending unallocated fund's to families abroad)......😂🤪🤣

Elders, I have a question.

My married friend on Tier 4 visa wants to bring in his dependants. As at the time of filing his application his wife was pregnant, so he listed the names of his wife and other children as his dependants.

Now the baby is here and he wants to bring them all in. How can he go about it considering the fact that the baby’s name was not listed in the initial dependants list he submitted to UKVI?

Thanks

Exactly....... Carrying the Nigerian mindset abroad..... That only the man, MUST pay all household bill's + all other extras (whilst she does whatever she wishes, with her income).....

bigtt76:
You can't get a share code without BRP 🤷🏿‍♀️ This was the reason we argued the need for dependents to apply at least 6 months before MA visa lapses. BRP is not issued for less time left on MA visa or less visa duration but hey what do we know.

True. I remember seeing it on here that one had the same issue last yest

.. Before the visa expires or before the main applicant's schooling is done?
That's one part I want to be sure of 1000%

Think it makes sense to just come in 6 months before anything to avoid stories that touch

Hi Maureen, a lot of things don't add up here. Which university do you attend? Students have rights! It doesn't matter whether you are international or local.

You need to search your uni's policies and regulations regarding resit. You don't start fighting with emotions but written rules. First off, was the finance team informed of your pending form A? Most uni just need to be aware of what's happening - they wouldn't shut your account unnecessarily.

I find it hard to believe that you will asked to submit a dissertation for PgDip! I think you can still change the situation If your visa won't expire until October. Usually Students can resit a module twice depending on the school's policy.

Check the policies, if its different from what this unhepful module leader has said - craft a letter to your VC, head of department quoting the policies and add all comms to the Nigerian bank that delayed your form A, tell them you are more than happy to write the exam within an hour If given the chance and at the end sprinkle all the emotional turmoil it has caused. Let them know, not getting that full degree is a big fail to your kids and family.

Lastly, go on Twitter and copy the school handle with all the proofs if that didn't work out and you know this is truly not your fault (sorry its difficult to see it from your post). All the best.

hi hi

Happy to confirm that my FLR M application has been successful.

Thanks for the support.

hi everyone, its been a while..

I need advice on a current situation

I applied for my spousal visa extension (FLR M) in the last week of June 2022 with biometrics done same week, and not gotten concrete response from Home Office since then. It was a standard application as there were no priority options available then, which I think was due to the Ukraine Family Scheme which affected timelines for applications within and outside the UK.

I only received a mail in August 2022 stating it will take longer than expected, and nothing more. There has been no proper way of communicating with anyone in Home Office, as the Home Office designated phone nos is automated, and there is no human interaction available.

I contacted my MP twice in October 2022 & January 2023 explaining the situation and the mental effect the delay has had on my family and I.
Home Office replied to the MP that my application will not be expedited unless I can provide medical evidence, prescriptions or a doctors note that my mental/physical health has declined as a result of the outstanding application (which i couldn't provide).

My passport also expires in October 2023 and i thought by now, I would have gotten my extension and can then face the Nigerian passport renewal hustle.

Questions:

- Is there anyone with similar delay for any applications within the UK? If so, how did you manage to reach Home Office? I was thinking of contacting my MP a 3rd time next week when it will be 9months since I made my application.

- My passport which is to expire in October 2023 has the initial spousal visa on it. Can I renew now even with a pending application? Should I wait?

- I haven't been able to switch jobs because i feel having an expired BRP will be a problem even if I have scale through the interview stages. My current employers have no issue, as they do that right to work check with my application nos. However, I intend to switch jobs as the UK economy dey cost more and more. Can I switch jobs with an expired BRP but with a pending application for renewal?



Apologies I'm posting here. I didn't post in the FLR M forum because it has been quiet for almost a year.

This whole thing has been annoying, after spending good sum on application fees and biometric appointment to get a good time slot. I can't even travel for personal and work purposes as i'm sure I won't be able to come back in with my expired BRP.

Thanks for anticipated responses.

I'm curious - if he's on a student visa how does he plan to support his family as presumably his wife will not be able to work (or work full time) with a new baby

Meaning that A Nurse in Australia can easily have enough savings than a Nurse in Uk.Am I correct?

Basic Aussie nurse salaries - https://www.medshop.com.au/pages/nursing-salary-guide I've used this site mainly as it shows a direct comparison.

Use www.seek.com.au to check actual salaries for each nursing role as presented in Aus.

A lot of people don't put things into consideration. All his thoughts is, let me just move myself and my family out first. This is suicide I tell you.

A friend's cousin is here as a student. Apparently he's been struggling with money. His wife just arrived with their child...and another one about to make an entrance. My friend was She had been looking forward to wifey arriving to support the cousin who she's been having to help financially.

I asked did they know the plan regarding work etc.. Apparently they did, and they also didn't inform my friend that they were expecting. They don't even live in the same city as my friend to help with childcare. I still can't wrap my head around it.

Lol just dey look
