Irrespective of how long the main applicant (student) has spent on his or her visa, dependents are issued with a year visa and must pay the full amount. Please check here https://www.gov.uk/student-visa/family-members

Hi house, Please I need to confirm, do you know the cost of IHS fee for children? The main applicant has spent 5months out of 12months on student visa.
Trying to calculate the IHS fee, I am not sure of the amount is giving. It is way less than what the main applicant paid.

Honestly. Imagine a family where husband and wife are supposed to be cooperating in full harmony and transparency but husband is always guiding* and wife is applying ogbon sodiki too. How will there be trust and progress, and will it not become a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Of course there's a place for awareness, but letting it occupy your mind and shaping your life choices around the chance of divorce is very likely to lead to divorce, in my view.

But to each his own as always sha.

Hello everyone,

Please, I changed employer (SW visa), is it possible to get a refund on the IHS I paid for my initial visa?

How do I go about it? I have tried calling UKVI but they have been tossing me around.

Stop cleaning, use mould spray to spray the affected areas, works like magic and cost about £1.

Dehumidifier works best in enclosed areas so even if you buy a bigger one, you will have to move it around and close where it's working.

I use that to atleast get rid of some and same time clean the stubborn ones even after spraying it.

I don’t get. Can’t people with legitimate means of livelihood (e.g working in oil & gas) buy property abroad. I know people who have bought properties in SA, Dubai, USA but to name a few. So because of AML murky waters someone that has income/network in Naira can’t diversify their portfolio. Let’s be open-minded please. If you don’t have the answer, no problem. I’m seeking experience people that have gone through the route legitimately. In fact, all I’m asking for is choice location or strategy for the property market in this country. Thanks and God bless

You can get it from any post office. There's also a post office close to the NHC but there's is a tad more expensive.

Can this cover a two bedroom apartment with kitchen, bathroom, 3 stores and a sitting room ? My apartment is quite big and i got a small dehumidifier (1700ml) that only does little. I don clean tire


Yes, it does, even the 12 liters type should do.


My apartment consistently faced issues with high humidity, leading to a cold environment, mold growth, condensation on windows, and even damage to lots of my furnitures and wallpapers last year.

However, since I started using this electric dehumidifier, I've been collecting between 3.5 to 4.5 liters of water daily. It made a significant difference, all the spaces, including all bedrooms and bathroom are now very dry

I tried various dehumidifying sprays before, but they weren't effective. Addressing the core issue of excessive moisture has proven beneficial. Plus, I now spend less on heating as the heater is not battling with cold moisture by trying to heat up the cold moistured air first, making the heating more efficient.

I have the Maeco 12litre low energy dehumidifier (the low platinum range ones) I got last year. To be honest, it’s my best investment last year. The funny thing is you will be surprised at how humid your house is even when you are not seeing any sign or mold.

The magic part is the air purifier that helps our young man sleep smoothly when he has flu. Till date, it’s the best money I spent in the UK.

I always forget to share the good news about the product. Thanks for sharing.


Same as me, I wish I had purchased this product a year earlier, especially given its energy efficiency.

Since buying it, my kitchen's smoke alarm, which used to be triggered when I cooked, hasn't gone off once due to the air being purified by the machine, did not even need to open the windows. A storage area in my apartment that had an unpleasant odor is now odor-free.

The mold situation in my house was so severe that it turned the ceiling black. Relying on sprays wasn't effective, and using them even made us all ill including the baby due to the chlorine content, causing symptoms including catarrh.

I believe the inclusion of air purifiers in the device contributes to its higher price, but it's worth it. Gone are the unpleasant smells in the house, and even my towels smell fresh after it dried up.

Hi

is there anyone that was able to switch from the health and care visa to proper professional roles like (project management,IT and stuff).

if yeah,i would love to know the process,how easy was it ?


thank you


Yeah, it’s possible if applying to jobs that can sponsor.

To me the easiest would probably be applying to jobs on the Civil service website(target EO, HEO, SEO roles) which hopefully they should be able to sponsor or NHS. But the former is more fair and transparent in their recruitment process based on my own opinion anyway and experience.

A close friend would probably be switching soon, Would let you know.

Just make sure you remove information like location from your cv.

Say for instance

You once worked as a Customer service representative in Zenith Bank in Lagos

You don’t need to put Zenith Bank, lagos, Nigeria.

Just remove those location.

Customer Service Representative- Zenith Bank.

Don’t put location., etc.

Same with your Uk jobs, you don’t need to put location as well.

Make sure you include that your care experience in your cv, it doesn’t matter.

Wish you good luck

Thank you! What I saw was £470 instead of £705 which the main applicant paid. Was wondering if I used the IHS calculator wrongly.

Hi everyone! Been a while that I've popped in here. Good to see the OG's still here doing the Lord's work wink

I have a question about in-country visa application... does anyone who used the ID check app when applying know if dependents can also use the app for their application? Chose the option trying to complete dependants application, but it keeps saying service not available. I was hoping not to need to submit dependant's application at a VAC cry
