But not impossible. There are exceptions - a British citizen who is not able to meet the new income threshold can still bring their partner over, just on a 10 yr route, as is currently the case

Wait until Trump gets back into power, we all know how he feels about migration from s**th**e countries. Im sure the UK will soon appear extremely liberal in comparison

I would appreciate if you shed more light on practical steps to this 10 year route... Thanks

A section 8 is an at fault eviction so you are deemed to have broken a, some or all the terms and conditions of your rental agreement. Did they state which ones? If yes, then it is a valid notice. You are not being discriminated against. It is one of the proper ways of evicting a tenant.

Your main issues were 1. Not contacting the agents immediately issues started arising and 2. Not documenting anything at all. Certainly the 2 visits to the agents office should have been preceded by an email detailing the circumstances in the house. It is now a he said/ she said and the agents/ landlords likely don't want to deal with that which is fair.

Be that as it may, it is in your best interests to find somewhere else and leave unless you want them to go through the full eviction process ie court and I bet they will have their costs charged back to you.

You can seek legal advice but be prepared to spend money. Do you want to go through that hassle? You'll need to prove that the notice was wrongly issued and even if you win, they'll probably hit you with a S21 which is a no fault notice ie they don't need to give you any reason at all apart from I want my house/ room back and that is also 2 months notice

If I were you, I would negotiate for a longer notice period and get them to agree that they give you a good reference so you can find somewhere else. In fact, get them to pre-write, sign and give you the reference so they don't back track later. Obviously if you don't need a reference then that's a moot point.

So a landlord can evict a tenant in this country for no reason. While I sympathise with those facing landlord/tenant issues, it's good that things are unfolding because the impression that have been created on this thread was that tenants have more rights than landlords in this country.

Some even said a landlord cannot evict tenant except he wants to sell the house and I was wondering, my own house.

There are 2 types of 10-year route

Long Residence is a 10 years' continuous lawful residence which leads to ILR

The other 10 year route is if family (either by partner, parent or child) is at least settled

I think this only applies to in-country applications. I doubt if one can bring their partner applying from outside the country.

Good point, and I had to double check to be sure, but it appears there is no distinction between applying in or out of country - the requirements are the same.

The main requirements for a UK Spouse visa application under a 10-year route are as follows:
Both, you and your partner must be 18 or over;
You need to prove that your relationship is genuine;
You intend to live together permanently in the UK;
You must meet the requirement of adequate accommodation;[/b]
The applicant must meet the suitability criteria as set out in Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules.


There are exception pathways in the application process that could lead to a 10 yr route decision instead of a refusal.

Goke7:


Not really, if she gets a job that can sponsor her visa at the new salary requirement why not? Even for care just that she can’t bring any dependent.

Ok. Thanks

missjekyll:
Right.
from what I can see of Labour policy on immigration, They agree immigration is too high ( I don't agree, obviously).
They know this is due to a skill shortage in the UK which now needs immigrants to do much needed jobs.

So, plan is to link immigrants to where skills are short in the short term.( shortage occupation list likely to stay) In the long term , to train up UK citizens to take up posts.

I think this is a better plan than the Tories who cannot think beyond breakfast. So I would advise for us to hang in there till next year, make sure you are registered to vote and vote these boogers out of office.

As for the silly salary cap nonsense, I predict it ll be challenged in court and thrown out or labour ll throw it out next year. You cannot keep families apart because of money shikena

If this were to be about Nigerian politicians, I'll have laughed in Spanish to this! But this is a country where the system, laws and processes seem to work! So there's a possibility the new pronouncements would be challenged to a logical conclusion!

That pre-signed reference it is for me, no need to back track. Do they reaygive that in UK?

Thewritingnerd:
When you say “cast this update” you mean you don’t want your other country people to have access to this useful information that could also help them?

Honestly I think they should ban YouTube, X and tiktok for anything UK immigration related, e don over cast! Let information be passed through Nairaland and other such text based forums, at least all those Olosho and yahoo boys who Japa anyhow won't be able to bring up senseless video contents littered with poor grammar! Typing and constructing simple English sentences would chase them off Nairaland I'm sure! Information would be kept sane and controlled that way

Thewritingnerd:
What other ways are there to pass vital information, pray tell? I mean, that’s what social media platforms are for, I believe. Someone here posted about CV library and that immensely changed everything for me with my job search. That person chose to use text format to pass that info here on Nairaland.

Another person could have chosen to set up ring light and open YouTube channel to pass same info, and there’ll be absolutely nothing wrong with it.

So I ask, is it the method of passing the information you don’t like, or that you don’t want too many people knowing about a useful information that’ll help them? 🤔

Also, what is wrong with a travel agent or a student advising people about how to apply for jobs?

It is well..May God help us all

Please do landlords truly refund deposit when leaving....I wan enter 1 year contract and I want to be careful

Yes they do

Why should it be banned for immigration-related information? We also see levels of insanity even on text-based platforms like nairaland.

Lol, once again, the real problem people have with content creators is that they’re passing information that most Nigerians love to hoard! That’s the real thing pinching most people about content creators. You don’t want “crowd”.

Depending on what the actual content is about, Content creators are not the reason for stiffening immigration policies
Some nigerian immigrants will purchase fake COS. Others will “run” fake marriages to fake dependents. Those sets of people will now have the audacity to come fix their mouths to blame content creators. THOSE are the people all this anger should be directed at, not content creators. But as usual, Nigerians love to blame baseless things as the cause of a misfortune.

I hope content creators never stop. Those “4 easy ways to get xyz visa” and other informative videos you don’t want to “cast” (as the information-blocking person some Nigerians are) go a long way to help someone who needs it. 😊

Yes that's the requirement but for out-country applications, they normally want the applicant to meet the five-year residence requirement. I personally haven't seen or heard spousal visas granted 10-year route outside the UK except for in-country application. We will see how it goes .. . Spring go soon reach .. . oju lo pe si

Honestly was your Nairaland account hacked? I am quite surprised at this line you towing... Put information in text and cut out the "noise" on video channels!
And who told you those content creators are not eh ones selling CoS??
Ukvi needed tiamiyu iscariot before finally announcing their decision, they thrive on public opinion/validation!!!
I am surprised at the level of decorum among Zimbabweans, even though they perpetrate the biggest CoS scam! You don't see them twerking on YouTube in the name of "5 ways to beat UKVI controls"
We need to sanitize ourselves!!!

Thewritingnerd:
First of all, you have the wrong person so maybe check the name again.

Secondly, Tiamiyu and my statement are completely two different things. I am asking the OP if by “cast the update”, he wants useful information to be shrouded in secrecy from his fellow countrymen.

Thirdly, people’s grouse against the Tiamiyu guy even makes me laugh, (granted that the Tiamiyu guy absolutely goofed), some people always make it sound like he’s the sole reason why the UK is suddenly clamping down on previous immigration routes.

You are right. It was a different person who posted it.

I was very clear and careful with my post,: “Depending on what the actual content is about, Content creators are not the reason for stiffening immigration policies”

I clearly said content creators posting USEFUL INFORMATION. So all the other things you’re saying, I don’t know where you saw them from in my text. And no, my account was not hacked. 🙂

Thank you, they didn’t state what the grounds for possession are. everything about the issues that happened are documented, I have pictures, videos and chats. I didn’t contact the agent because I felt it was unnecessary but I immediately let them know when the police was here. I will spend a lot of money moving out of the apartment, getting a truck, taking leave days to pack up my things as well as looking for somewhere with the same amount of rent.

Zahra29:


Sorry to hear about the stress you've been going through.

Do you know if your housemate has been asked to move out as well? The letter from the landlady isn't clear on that

We’ve both been asked to move out.

iyatrustee:


Would you rather not stress to look for another apartment than living with a co-tenant who seems out to frustrate you?

How many more police incident awaits in the future? After all the hustling, the least one thing everyone owes themself is to retire back home to peace in a dwelling free of rancor.

That is my point of view, you and others may see things differently!

She doesn’t frustrate me anymore, that ended a couple of weeks back after I stood my ground and refused to be bullied. Looking for an apartment is a whole lot of stress also rents are higher than it was when I moved in.

Strata1716:

What if she does something to harm you? Physically or by telling another lie to police or other services to implicate you?

I hear what you're saying about the stress of moving out but I honestly believe that doing so is the best and safest option for you in the circumstances, and the landlord is being reasonable as well - they don't want to risk further escalations in their property.

As Ticha has said, you can challenge the notice, but it'll likely cost a substantial amount of time and effort that's best channeled doing the things she said - asking for an extension and seeking a good reference etc.

Greetings all!

Please has anyone written any English proficiency test other than IELTS here in the UK for visa application? Kindly share the test name and your experience. Thanks

Like Zahra stated.. countries are revising policies.. it isn't just the UK.. even Canada

& like i stated ... pray for changes to favor your choice and path for you and your families especially for policies we can't control..and plan accordingly for even the worst scenarios

Increasing proof of funds makes no difference
Unless the change of policies include confirming students actually have a certain portion of the fees available to the schools as payment eg. 1st semester paid.

Showing proof of funds doesn't mean you actually have the funds available
Students in Canada are a good percentage of asylum seekers in CA
