..and yet if you read some Nairaland threads long enough, all you hear is how hostile and racist and ‘anti-migrant’ the out-gone govt was.

The unbundling of the Tier-2 and subsequent creation of the Health & Care visa by the Conservative Government had a lot of Winners from Nigeria. I’m not sure ANY UK government in the last 50 years have opened the door that wide for Nigerian immigrants.

As @zahra advised the wedding held in Nigeria, the wedding photos, other documents were able to further help the Home Office issuing us a complaince decision and now have been given go ahead to marry at the registry in 2weeks. I am planning to apply online for the spousal visa soon so i can choose a date for appointment on last week of October if possible. This might require me to delay uploading/submission of my documents till few days before appointment when i have received the marriage certificate. I am trying to apply early online so i can get a feeback within 60 days of visa application. which still within the validity of my visa. My PSW expires 31st Dec

Thank you for this explaination. So, if someone lands a 33,200 for a DA role within NHS. Will there be able to bring their dependents into the country?

Lefty500:
For example Data analyst has occupation code of 3544, with standard going rate of £33,200/y and £28,600 for lower going rate. So you must earn equal or above £33,200 to be eligible for sponsorship, but if you got the COS before 4th April 2024,then you go with the lower going rate.

COS gotten before 4th April 2024 => lower going rate
After 4th April 2024 => standard going rate.

Amylew:
Thanks a lot.
I will try this.

Zahra29:
Congratulations 🎉 Glad to hear it worked out.

It's a good idea to apply early, but it doesn't matter if you get a response before your PSW expires. As long as you make your an in-time application, your current visa will remain valid.

Edit - you should doublecheck the expiry date of your PSW visa. I suspect 31 Dec is the generic expiry date of your BRP due to the eVisa migration, and not the actual end date of your visa.

Hello everyone.

I need some advice from anyone with knowlege on how to go about getting married in the UK. My partner is a Brit and we're getting married early next year. All through my search, the only requirement was giving notice at the local registry and via HO, but only recently realised I have to deal with the Nigerian consulate as well.

In the typical naija fashion, the information is not clear on the website. I've been unable to reach them via phone and when I finally managed to speak with someone the lines was so bad.

I would appreciate anyone with knowlege about the process help me with the details.

Thanks.

Cyberknight:
What requirement to deal with the Nigerian HC regarding marriage are you referring to? There's none.
Are you referring to a passport name change post-nuptials?

rasputhin:
No, if you check the website, there's this requirement listed. And to be honest it doesn't even say what the end goal of the process is. I have the approval from Home Office, I don't know what this Nigeria's business is for and their request is just absurd. There seems to be a similar process for malaysian consulate as well.

Cyberknight:
Interesting. I stand corrected. I've heard of the no impediment to marry thing before that is meant to show that people are not committing bigamy by marrying someone while already married in their home countries, but not all countries require it and I think that in this case you will only need to get it from the High Commission if the Home Office requires it as part of its approval process.

In other words, no need to interface with the Nigerian High Commission unless and until the Home Office tells you to do so.

Morning Everyone, I am seeking some clarification.

Does the Code 6135 for care workers, include support workers, child support workers, residential support workers, or only those doing adult social care ?


I just want to know guys, because I work in a secure children home as an assistant practitioner in the care team, what is my eligible code? Will I qualify for health insurance exemption or refund?

hyzich:
Hi

Just seeing this, ask anyone youve met to be added into the group called Nigerians in yeovil, you would see someone who would help.. I live in Yeovil currently

rasputhin:
I'm of the same stance as you, but there's no official documentation from the consulate that outlines that fact. It's just sad that everytime you have to deal with Nigeria as a diasporan it's always a stressful situation.

Hi Everyone, I m just on a wee fishing /brain picking expedition. Bear with me

Was anyone in the stockmarket during the pandemic boom? Did you cash in then or leave your cash in the market?

Considering the 2022 bust, did you regret your position? What would you have done differently?

The stock market is at record highs at the moment. Everytime I think "surely that's the peak". I wake up to skyrocketing gains.

Should I stay or fold? Thoughts please

Firefunmi2014:
Good evening everyone.

I hope we all had a great day.

Please I need your urgent help. I would be travelling to Naija in Decembers, Air France tickets booked. My question is , do I need a transit visa?. My flight is from Manchester to Paris to Naija. Your response will be highly appreciated.

Thank you

dustydee:
Based on the information given to you above, I do not see why the high commission should be the one to give you the documentation when it is not a requirement to start with. You are getting married in the UK, they should tell you all that you need. If that includes a document from the Nigeria High commission (Which in this case it is likely not), then they will tell you how to get the documents. Please let us not be quick to disparage our own.

rasputhin:
Believe me that is not the intent, however, it's only the Nigerian government I have interacted with where there's this level of obscurity in dealing with these sort of things. Even calling the HC telephone number, the staff who answered the call was responding like my call was disrupting their day lol. The information they gave was contradictory to what they had on the website and still incomplete.
All I need is answers, I avoid that Northumberland Ave. as much as I can.

Came around for a week training and it's so different here. Didn't see diversity and it looks depressing

Samguine:
If you are assured of a 5m/month job in Nigeria NOW, will you leave the UK and go resume the job in Nigeria?

dustydee:
calling the HC can be very frustrating and challenging. As someone said, the NHC has nothing to do with your wedding, unless you want Tinubu as your father of the day. The home office will let you know if they require anything from Nigeria. I give you my blessings
Happy married life.

Ohh, Yeovil is a small town, are you through with your training?

rock86:
Yes, I noticed. No Uber/Bolt services.
People seems racist or ignorant. Like "staring at you", leaving the way when they see you approaching etc. Makes me appreciate my base in the Midlands.
Anyways, we are finishing training onFriday.

They still won’t work. I know them too well.
