You can’t.

No need just exercise patience. They will deliver it.

Issorai then

You can’t.

Have you seen anyone who have tried it and got rejected?

Okay…
To (try and) put it straight.
Student gets tier-4 visa to the UK.
Student comes in alone, completes their Masters (or PhD etc).
Student applies for PSW alone. Student gets PSW for 2 years (or 3 years as the case may be).
6 months into PSW, (former) student wants to apply for Dependants to join?

What will be the visa category of the dependants?
“Dependants of a PSW visa holder”??

Have you taken a few minutes to look at the PSW visa rules?

stephoye:


Have you seen anyone who have tried it and got rejected?

Go to the uk visa application website, scroll through. Then see if you find the visa type that suits this scenario.

If your partner and child are not with you in the UK as dependants on your student visa, they wont be able to come to the UK as your dependants on a graduate visa.

You can go ahead if your lawyer insists, maybe you will be the first person I will know that gets rejected.

u dnt need ur passport to switch a visa or apply for a visa if you are inside the UK in your case.
Please go ahead with your visa application

But this is for Student to PSW applications right?
It will not apply to settlement (ILR) or SWV (Tier-2) visas. Right?

Please do anyone know how I can get a good insurance deal for my car. Renewing the insurance seems too high.
It's was better when. I registered with my Nigerian licence last year, about £130 and now since have gotten my full UK license and about to renew, my own insurance are giving me a quite of about £300 and trying to look around, what am getting is too high, like £230 thereabout.
Any advice on how to go about getting a better insurance deal. Thanks

Why don't you maintain statusqou. Must you do shakara to them now that you have full licence? Hope you get the point now?

Your partner
Your partner needs to have been a dependant on your Student visa or Tier 4 (General) student visa to apply. You’ll also need to show that they’re still your partner.

You must be able to prove that either:

you’re in a civil partnership or marriage that’s recognised in the UK
you’ve been living together in a relationship for at least 2 years when you apply

Oga one need a passport to apply for a visa, even a new born need a passport but the only exception is that you can use your expired passport to apply for visa and upload a cover letter that your new passport is under processing. Some case officer will even asked for evidence of application for a new passport

Lol, don’t mind him. One need a passport to apply for any type of visa

It's not shakara to disclose the truth in an application. Besides premiums have increased massively from last year - car, home insurance etc so OP would have seen a price jump regardless.

Dont be speaking on what you are not sure of.
A newborn UK born child of visa-d parents as long as inside the UK does not need a passport to apply for visa. The newborn’s parents simply fill that the only identification they have is a birth certificate and the form moves forward. UKVI will never ask a child born in the UK to go and get a passport first before applying for visa.
Like an officer of the UK immigration service would be asking you a Nigerian for evidence of your Nigerian passport application when you come to renew your visa and refuse to stay illegally?? Wow.
Maybe your own BRP carries your Nigerian passport number so UKVI will not go ahead with their visa process until you renew Nigerian passport. Wow. You guys just say anything you feel like.

I have renewed my visas + family x 2 without applying for Nigerian passport when it expired as High Commission gave me so much trouble . Home office allows this so that nobody can claim they overstayed because they did not have a valid passport to apply with. As long as you are a temporary migrant inside the UK with a Brp you will be allowed. Just state your personal circumstances on your application form and go through. Whenever you receive your home country’s passport, you update the Home office with its details by filling the update form online free of charge. This is what I did.
Don’t leave your child without a visa saying you were waiting for Nigerian passport or leave yourself without visa and/or overstay saying you were waiting for Nigerian passport.

Good morning elders, I am shopping for mid range SUV. please who has a review for Hyundai Tucson 1.6 Tgdi 2021?

It's a good ride.

Just be sure it has full service history, that way the manufacturer's warranty is still valid.

It's in the same whatsapp group with Nissa Qashqai and Kia sportage but I choose the Hyundai.

How do you guys save useful posts like this for later?

I have a folder in my gallery 'Nairaland Screenshot' . That's where I save them.

Many thanks. Useful info.
But I guess it depends on the visa type yes?
For some visa types, you have to enter passport start and end dates. And if you enter an end date which is in the past, it throws up an error and you can’t proceed.

Just as some applicants are lucky when renewing as they are simply asked to use the IDV app. e.g Health Care Worker Visa to another Health care worker visa. Or Student to PSW. Or Student to Healthcare or PSW to healthcare.
But for regular Student to SWV (tier-2) or tier-2 to settlement, they require full biometrics.

Please can anyone recommend insurance (medical) that can be used to cover for fertility treatments

I applied for a visa for my child who was born in the UK about 3year old. All she had before application was her birth cert. She didn't have any passport. She had her visa granted.

I also know family where I live who couldn't get a near date for their passport renewal and they needed to switch to skilled workers visa. All 5 of them had their visas granted.

Personally I just copy the relevant content into my one note (microsoft) for future reference under relevant topic. I have different topics, Driving, Car purchase, ILR application, Mortgage etc.

Interesting.

Most of Nigeria's embezzled funds are sitting mostly in US/UK banks all thanks to their government that enables and makes it easy for Nigerian politicians so export their stolen funds. The majority of stolen Africa's resources are been consumed and received by the Western conglomerates as well.

The UK/US govt are still running investigation on COVID-19 fund mismanagement.

Everybody government nah thief.

ReesheesuKnack:



This person is blaming America for giving loans to Nigerian Governments. Loans which the Nigerian governments use to purchase exotic fancy cars for legislators. Loans that are used to fund jamborees. I’m sure you are probably blaming America for Betta Edu.
You really blame America?

And that's why your government is empowered to steal more and more, huge amounts that in other countries would be shocking to hear. No consequences even when caught red handed. Everybody is a thief as you say, so how can a thief reprimand another thief? and a populace that is largely apathetic or like you, makes excuse for them, or just waiting for their own turn in government to loot their share.

How did they scale past the passport details section of the application please, because you can't continue with the application once you input an expired date, so how were they able to get around this please?

The vast majority of private insurers do not cover full fertility treatment costs, many might just cover the initial investigations.

However there is one specialist provider on the market now who claim to cover full IVF costs :

What you might find more of is that a lot of IVF clinics offer financial support in the form of payment plans like 0% finance, which is also worth looking at.

Good morning house.

I have Amex and Barclays credit card with a credit score of 887 on experian in my 5th month in the UK. What other credit cards can I apply for that won't Carryy out a hard search on my credit score. And how do I check my eligibility for the card without it affecting my credit score.

Amex carried out a hard search, which might affect my score next month.

They all carry out hard search ...no way to escape this once you are approved. Having too many credit cards affects your scores though. Why not wait a few more months and request limit upgrade?
