Thank you so much for your response,

We suspected the account pump, I had sent the money into her account over a month prior, thinking it would be okay to show some money in her account ( I guess I was wrong), after-all, she is a student and mustn’t declare any account statement and I also mentioned I’d bear her cost of traveling anyway.

What has changed is that, we won’t bother using any account statement from her, mine would suffice.

And I just want her to come and relax, chill and shop for all the stress exams has bestowed on her.

Once again, thanks for responding


The application should be fine. Attachment to Nigeria is her education as supported by a letter from her faculty on a letter headed paper. Just deal with the financial part, no pump the account, let the account show inflow and outflow of a typical student and if there is any significant deposit, put an explanation with evidence.

Yes!, this is exactly what I’m on about. I and my other siblings send her monthly allowances, so we would declare all of that. This is uplifting. Thank you

..and if you have parents in Nigeria, a letter from them giving consent to her travel can be a plus saying she is coming back to continue her education

I’ve never actually seen you share anything good about Nigerians as you must find a way to interweave a negative to buttress your point
Nairaland is a very public forum and when people google things about a country, this is part of what they see.

You can bet that person is not from Nigeria. I'm curious as to why people continue to respond to him.

Unfortunately education alone is not a good enough ties to Nigeria, considering that she has families in the UK. She is unemployed and have no source of income and to cap it up, she is still quite young.
The rule of the thumb is to treat every application as a potential "immigration risk" until to applicant successfully proves otherwise.

The sudden £500k credit looks suspicious, and normally she should have submitted 3-6months statement.

What you should have done is to make a monthly payment of 100k into her account for 3-5months label it as her upkeep. She will declare it as income of 100k per month from family for upkeep.

This will show that she has enough money back home in Nigeria and not a potential economic migrant.

Hello Gurus,

Please my wife is due to give birth in the UK in a couple of weeks. As required, we need to get the baby's brp within the first 3 months of birth for IHS to continue to cover all hospital and treatment costs.
However, reading how long it takes to get the NIN and Passport for the newborn in the london embassy before applying for the visa isn't encouraging.

Please who is able to advise on how to go about with this?

Make an application via : https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/pbs-dependant-child
You can apply with birth certificate only, (choose no passport option during your application)

So students are not allowed to visit the UK? She just has to prove she is a student and she is coming back to continue her studies. Her family in the UK Is sponsoring her and they are in correct status and not depending on the government for anything. I am assuming in this new application her parents who I presume is in Nigeria will write a supporting letter telling them she will come back to Nigeria to continue her application.
Plus someone close to home same situation, brother and sister in the UK, I am her family too in the UK, is a student was refused initially, same reason not sure she is a student. Sister reapplied for her immediately countering the HOs reason for denial, girl is in the UK as we speak. Only difference in case is the 500k this one had. The one I am talking about had significantly less but the account was active and inflow and outflow was typical of what a Nigerian student will have.

Was actually reading a news from telegraph this afternoon, where Reed managing director said there has been a plunge of 24percent of job posting on Reed.


What I normally do is by making sure I included a cover letter with my application, only focused on indeed, civil service and nhs (both England and Scotland).

I actually prefer applying for civil service and nhs cos real people get to read your application not like those cv filters that some private companies use.

If I apply to like 40-60privates, would get like 5-8 employers interested in, then only 2-3 will eventually grant interview cos other would not continue after asking for visa status (psw).


But with nhs or civil service , 10 solid applications could grant 3-5 interviews, tho, the application takes time, say like 30-1hr, but really worth it.


Another thing, always try to apply to most recent posted jobs, I normally filter out 7 days upwards on sites like indeed. (Not cs or nhs ).

My boss when you say civil service of course you are talking of public services maybe transport, hospital, accounting, or other fields.
Is there a general site where the uk gov post all their job opening for roles like how nhs has general site where they post job openings

This post is to all the people (on this thread) who are justifying the UK govt wanting to increase IHS/Visa fees to raise £1,000,000,000 to fund pay rises.
The first picture is a total tax deduction from a legal tier-2 visa holder. Remember, this person has paid the IHS upfront. This person has NOT been able to get an NHS dentist. This person has been held in a 7 month NHS waiting list.

Kindly note the amount of this person’s tax that has been pumped into the NHS. In addition to the IHS which has been paid upfront.

Also kindly note the amount of this person’s taxes that have been pumped into ‘Welfare’.
Remember, this person has No Recourse to Public Funds.

Let’s be Frank to ourselves. Is this justifiable?

Ah, that's actually a very popular trade at the moment as people look to save on costs by revamping, instead of replacing, their kitchen units, doors and windows.

I'd probably suggest that he search for companies in your area e.g.

https://spraygenielimited.business.site/

He could do a few jobs for them, take pictures of his work and then if he wants he could start working for himself by registering on sites like mybuilder.com, Rated people, checkatrade (using those photos as his portfolio) - or he could do it on the side.

I'm sure he'll do very well since he's experienced and personable -good tradespeople are in high demand 👍
