If you switch your Lloyds or main account all your payments and details are switched too.

I wouldnt advise it though.

I aslo do not knownif Monzo accounts are accepted. If you want to chop switch miney you may want to open a Metro and or VirginMoney, you can then be switching those ones.

You credit score may be slightly impacted.

Can I switch my Monzo account?

I have a Lloyd's account but it's also the account I gave my employer for payment. If I switch it how does that affect me?

I'm planning to apply for a dependent visa. My partner (F) is the MA and she's a Masters student. Has anyone applied since the recent requirement changes with a positive response? And if you don't mind what are the docs you submitted?

Hello guys..

After studying master's in International business with data analytics in UK, can the graduate get a professional job in UK within this area of study?

Please help with advice someone wants to make a final decision whether to accept the admission offer or wait and go for masters in Cyber Security.. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

There in no answer to this question. Nobody gives you a job because you have a degree, be it cyber security or English literature. They give you a job because you can demonstrate that you have the key skills and strength that they require.

Even Graduate roles, will require you to go through a rigorous screening process, because it's not an experience hire, hence they needed to test your strength and skillsets to be convinced that you have what it takes to be successful in the role.

I donโ€™t understand what you mean by this and what was wrong from what I asked , can I go earlier or it must be 15 minutes to the 11 am that is my time. I never go for UK visa biometric before so Iโ€™m asking to know what best to do. Because for my IOM TB test time 11 am but I went there by 9 am and was allowed to go inside for my test, maybe that will also be the case for visa biometrics

Please is there a way to track visa application made within the UK?

Has anyone applied for a dependent visa in UK recently, how long did it take ?

Thanks

Mine took 20 days. I received the email on day 20. The mail stated that my brp would be delivered within 7 days. But the brp came 2 days after I got the 'successful' email.

You can call the Home Office though. But they wouldn't do much. Will only ask that you wait it out. If it's a Health and Care Worker Visa, it will take 3 weeks max. If it's a skilled worker visa it might take more than 3 weeks.

Don't worry, it will come.

I'm always curious why people who hate the West, or support the enemies of the West, choose to live in the West and not those other countries where their views will be accepted and even nurtured.


I don think this thing tire, I had to let the matter rest.

Funny thing is when they get to the west, they will want to start imposing their views and ideologies when there are countries willing to uphold and nuture the views for them.

Las las everybody like civil societies, na to identify the cause of uncivilization and stop it nai be the problem.

Your questions initially didn't make any sense. You asked what time will you go for Biometrics without stating, what the Biometrics is for and where.

Is it Biometrics for Passport Renewal
Biometrics for Schegen visa, Canadian or US visa from inside the UK
Or UK visa Biometrics in Nigeria.

Thank you so much. But you know work experience in Nigeria is almost zero because some of us left the area of studies to do things that are totally different once it pays our bills...

I understand your perspective,. However, I don't believe any experience is irrelevant.

What ever you did in Nigeria had skills that are transferable to roles in the UK.

After NYSC in Nigeria, I opened a Barber shop .

I learnt alot about customer service, bookkeeping, resources management, business development and how to manage irate customers.

These skills eventually helped to get a good paying job later. I operated the salon for just 4 months .

No experience or skill is irrelevant, I am sure you even have some skills you don't know are valuable. Just look inward and find the right professional keyword for your skills and find roles that would require them.

My opinion.

I think we have to be careful about repeating right wing talking points.

Give me an example of a country where this is happening currently.

The right wing is no place for people of colour because if they win, you with your ebony skin which you cannot take off, will be the first target.
We live well with Muslims in Nigeria( Yorubaland) why is it different in the UK?

Unless he likes standing around in the cold. Arrive no earlier than 30 minutes for anything UK. If you are late you are on your own though

No. when Ikeja gave me a schedule, I noticed they strictly work by schedules given. If heโ€™s given a 12pm schedule, he should get 15 minutes before. Going there by 9am is waste of time and energy. Btw, no one asks a silly question, only foolish people think there are silly questions

As a graduate just target graduate roles in large companies like the big 4, consulting firms or engineering firms. Thatโ€™s the best way to go as they are entry roles requiring no experience.

You can never go wrong with any course on cybersecurity.

Arriving earlier, is better than later ....... Hanging around and exploring the local area, is better than sweating on a delayed train/bus or stuck in traffic......

How do you define right-wing? The right-wing are the conservatives and most Africans are by default conservatives. What do you then mean that the right-wing is no place for people of color?

Have you tried to take a test to see if you are left or right leaning ?
