Bro, does one need another COS from their company to apply for a visa extension assuming their 3 years SW visa is about to expire?

Yes, to the best of my knowledge, you need a COS to extend your work visa even if its with thesame employer.

Wait. Which coin was halved? Been a hottt minute since I paid any attention to the markets 😩

Hehe..
Halving (different form usual half)... a historical event in the crypt0 world which I believe would soon loose its relevance

I use this site for my life in the Uk test exam 2 years ago and it was very helpful for me, you can use it as well.

derbylicious:
Happy new year.
Kindly recommend resources (app &/or website) for a successful life in the UK test prep please.

missjekyll:


Thanks. Should have been clearer

Infact, the super priority is £1,000.00 on top of the £2,885.00 application fee.

Tier4Dependant:

One can have multiple CoS, the other company doesn't need to cancel.

Sorry a couple of my colleagues have had this same issue. Not one. Not five. Not twelve. I am not here to argue with you or anyone else. Shalom

Can anyone help with why my dependent wasn’t charged for IHS?
Is there anything I need to do?
Will it delay the application?

Is it now ? Wrong again. Thanks . I believe someone said it was £100

Tenski:


Try get the proof but if you can’t, just renegotiate. My opinion though

My Insurance asked me for a no claim proof here in the UK, anything outside UK isn’t accepted by them and I’ve already signed a contract with them before they told me that. I just called their customer support and explained to the guy that as at when i was looking for quotes at Confused.com, it wasn’t indicated that it must be a UK no claim bonus only. I just renegotiated the deal and they added £50 on top the £1080 they charged before with their service fee. That’s the easier route for me because i and my previous Insurance in the Country i used to live, parted ways on a bad note. I no fit dare call their number for anything.

Please did you get this £1080+50 with UK full license or provisional license? Tx

elengine:



Thank you for your response. I will advise accordingly.

Thanks.

But find more information before cancelling, it seems Home Office is taking time to issue new skilled worker visas/issue CoS now (I can't confirm this though but I've been hearing it)

Don't empty your drum at the sound of rain...

I was charged around 600 USD for IHS. I thought maybe I'm paying less because the MA's visa has only 1 year left. 3 days after my application, I got a mail asking for top up. I believe that delayed my application by a week.

Please send a paid mail ASAP (it's even better if you do this before biometric)

Hi guys what do you think is the best account to open for int students in the uk? I’m in between Barclays and royal bank of Scotland

Oh
It’s a graduate visa, biometrics has been done online already before submission.
I will send a paid mail.

Please what happens next after someone has spent 5 years on a work visa. At what point would the person be able to apply for ILR. Is it after the end date of the COS. Does the person need another visa extension to be able to apply for ILR?

Hi Elders,

Quick one on no claims discount and car insurance.
I have been driving for years in Nigeria (13yrs). I have a full UK drivers licence (Aug 2023). I’m searching the market for most affordable insurance policy. For NCD, I put 13yrs (Naija) and I know someone who’s asking for 65k to prepare the authentication and record document from FRSC. It looks like Canada immigrants are the ones that need the document. Is it worth purchasing the document to reduce my UK insurance? Would they accept it in place of a NCD proof? Will it make a huge difference to justify the 65k naira (£37) spend? Thanks in advance

If this is forgery then don’t indulge in it.

Tier4Dependant:

Seriously?? Didn't know this o. Does this mean someone with a domiciliary care CoS for example can apply and also hold a care home CoS without switching? You mean it's possible to have two employers? Kindly clarify...

Goodenoch:


They can apply for civil service roles covering legal (many employ you with your Nigerian LLB/BL and give ~two years to convert), compliance, GRC etc. It's mostly dependent on what their prior experience is.

Thank you she’s already doing the above

You should apply for your ILR no more than 28 days before the expiry of your work visa. If you wait till it expires then you must extend it before applying.

At the time of application you should have passed your life in the UK test.

Owoado:

It’s not forgery — it’s my real driving experience in Nigeria, without making a single insurance claim. The verification is done from FRSC head office Abuja. Why you would think of the negative instead of reading what I wrote, I would never know. My question is it acceptable for UK insurers as proof of NCD?

Check the email notification from HO with respect to your last cos application. It is documented there.

So what this means is that one can write the life in the UK test before the 5 years elapses and nit a must you have to clock 5 years first.

Vintagee:

Yes. By the time you clock exactly 5 years. Your ILR application should ideally already be with the Home Office

The information you provided sounded like forgery (to me).
FRSC has NO business issuing out NCDs.

For the 13 years you have been driving in Nigeria, did you have valid insurance policies from valid insurance companies?
If yes, you are a great customer (13-year’s worth). Contact the insurance company and ask them for an NCD.

From your OP: "I know someone who’s asking for 65k to prepare the authentication and record document from FRSC."

1. The questions are: Is this 'authentication and record document' listed anywhere on the FRSC website or in any official communication from the commission?

2. Are you going to be applying for and obtaining this document from the FRSC directly? Will you be obtaining FRSC receipts and other documentation from this person?

These points are important because even if you scale though the mostly automated signup process and get a policy but insurance claims adjusters challenge your NCD when you need to make a claim here in the UK, you'll need to prove it beyond saying 'somebody on Nairaland said...'

The answers to those questions should indicate why the person you quoted said what they said, and I daresay, they'll also give you the overall answer to your question.

Oga, it’s third party insurance in Nigeria. I never did anyone myself by going personally to insurance office, except one year I did comprehensive with Axa mansard (new car). I used our office plug for car paper renewals (road worthiness, insurance etc.). Total cost back then was 5 - 15k. I’ve now contacted the office plug (FRSC staff) and he’s offered me the driver record document, he says that’s what is obtainable. I explained it’s for NCD and he claims yes that’s what they give people (his customers, I.e my former colleagues). He showed me a sample and it was addressed to someone in Canada. If you ask me the name of the insurance companies I used for 3rd party, I have no idea, they’re mushroom coys. Not convinced by the guys story, I wanted to know if I should proceed or not. I think I’ve gotten my answer from Google. Thanks

Read my response in my previous post. It’s an authentic document. Ask folks in Canada, they use it. Everything is not fraud fgs. I only asked an innocent question if it’s applicable in UK, and the answer is clear to me…NO. I don’t have record of all the 3rd party insurance coys I used over the years, if not I would have gone directly. But posters couldn’t stop themselves from assuming forgery was the case here (wrong). Lazy stereotype. We need to do better especially when we demand more from others.

Do you have a link to the FRSC website or any other official communication where this document is discussed? Something to the police character certificate, passport, etc?

I haven't said it's forgery. It's you who's seeing allegations of forgery everywhere and I can only wonder why.
