Please note, nothing like international driver's license, what is recognised here is the Normal Nigeria Driver's license (was informed this by a police) and you can use it for 12 months from your date on UK entering.

Can I drive in the UK for 12 months with only my Nigerian driver's license? Not the international driver's license, and how long will it take to get a full UK license

Sign up for AMEX https://americanexpress.com/en-gb/referral/tEMItOhbvx?XL=MNANS

Good morning and how long does it take Amex to respond to a CC application? I applied on the 26th and yet to hear from them and I don't even know how to check if the application was successful

Goke7:


And the COS cannot be for more than 4 years, so they can only get at most 3 years COS and upon renewal the 38,700k will now apply. I hope folks are aware.

Help me alaysw this situation here,

I have someone on a 5yrs COS (entered March 2023) but her work shift is inconsistent (25-30hrs weekly). She later got another sponsorship offer 1-2yrs COS (because she's changing sponsorship) and the maximum working time of over 40hrs is 100% sure.

Is it advisable she stick with her old COS with less work time or opt for the new offer starting from January 2024.

With her renewal of new COS in 1-2yrs time (if she went with that option) won't all this inconsistent policy affects her application if her salary fails to meet the salary threshold.

Hello house, please someone was a teacher in UK before as cover supervisor but now on care COS, can the person do the extra 20 hours overtime teaching?
Hope this won't affect?.
Thanks

Nigerian Arrested For Chatting, Sending Intimate Pictures To Underage Girl In UK

Despite the extent to which this sort of news have gone viral on so many occasions, yet we are still having blokes messing up big time. I don't know if to term this as ignorance, sheer stupidity or just a dirty habit that have refused to go away.

This is really embarrassing to say the least!

Good morning. It should display on your screen the outcome of your application after submitting your details. Perhaps you missed out on this. If successful and approved, you should get your card in 10 working days.

I believe the person can only do 20hrs for another care company and not outside of the care occupation.

With her renewal of new COS in 1-2yrs time (if she went with that option) won't all this inconsistent policy affects her application if her salary fails to meet the salary threshold.

If her goal is ILR, then her present 5 yr CoS will likely put this in jeopardy because when she comes to apply for ILR, she has to evidence that her current employer still has a valid sponsorship license (which is precarious given that the company is not able to provide the required level of paid work), and Home Office can verify the amount of tax paid throughout the 5 year period. If there is a difference between income stated on the application versus income reported to HMRC, or tax not paid in previous employments/years, then the application will most likely be refused.

Switching to a new CoS is fine because she will not fall under the new policies, however she is likely to face issues when applying for ILR due to not meeting the salary requirement under the old CoS

Jump on the 1-2 yrs COS and do maximum time. The new regulation won't affect those already in before the implementation of the new rules. Staying on the old 5 year COS may affect the person when applying for ILR in the future because of the inconsistent work hours.

Should I declare driving fines in PSW application?

Because they asked about driving offences and penalties

Hi all, please if I have a flight layover in Cairo (I'm traveling with egypt air), do I need a transit visa?

A hard search was done by SKY on my spouse's credit score reducing it by 82 points.
Please what can she do?

CowbellY:


The reason your scores dropped was because of the Hard Search which was recently done. They have an impact and takes 6 months to leave your file. However you should begin to see a gradual improvement from next month

No

UrFears:

No
if you stay within the international airport area waiting for the connecting flight.

Everybody passed through that phase ,infact it took me 2 months of getting to UK before i can get something reasonable to do and from that time till now ,it has been a roller coaster situation for all my job applications .
You need to know that phase will soon pass and what need mostly now is getting information from your fellow naija and those information are golden and they transcend all this online jobs portal like indeed etc . This is the time to put more effort into socialising and engage more with fellow naija around you maybe tru place of worship etc they will give you sure u lead ,leave indeed alone for now , and ride on the tips and clues that u will give u for jobs .

What if you travel back to Nigeria and came back to the UK after few weeks which entry date will be used to calculate the 12months?

I can see what you're trying to do here ........😄🤣 It depends on the visa you hold ......

Alright thanks

NewT123:


Your Nigerian Licence even holds more value than your international licence. In some cases, you may be required to provide your Nigerian license even after providing your international licence. However, with your Nigerian license alone, you don’t have to provide an international license. But you can only drive for one year in the UK with your Nigerian or international licence

Wow. Thanks for this.

Tenski:

Thanks for this response. I did exactly as you said and his Visa’s approved. Thanks once again

you are welcome

The rule is clear sir. Do not introduce unnecessary complexity

mayowa94:

Your first entry into Uk with your valid resident permit will be the day when your 12 months start counting .

It depends on the kind of fines you received. Fixed penalty notices / penalty charge notices are fines for minor driving offences which doesn't need to be declared and will not normally result in refusal.

I wouldn’t say socialising with fellow Naija or going to religious houses is the gateway to getting jobs, although it has helped some to get settled quickly. I will advice the OP to tailor his CV to meet the requested skills and ensure he indicates his transferable skills in situations where he has no direct experience in a particular job.

@OP
If you have a good CV, you will get noticed. Use Chatgpt to write your CV. Do this and trust me you will get noticed. You can also use chatgpt to answer possible interview questions. It really helped me and it can help you as well.

Aside Indeed, google contacts of recruitment agencies in your area and call them about your availability for jobs. You can start working menial jobs with an agency while waiting for the corporate job to click on indeed. I was doing cleaning jobs with an agency till my corporate job in an energy company clicked.

It’s a phase, you will be fine. A lot of us passed through this phase. Best of luck bro
