Goke7:
I have a senior colleague who got an offer in February this year, and until May, before the SC was clear and complete. When I did mine like two or three years ago, it took like 6 months, though I have been working for the organisation that did it, so it was not a new job offer thing. Currently, I hear there's a temporary pause on high-level vetting requests like SC because of a system scheduled upgrade, resulting in a shutdown of their operations till mid-August (privileged information), so take a chill and keep praying for a speed-up of your application. Cheers!

SC is not for the faint hearted during the wait period but rest assured you will get an all clear. They are probably on their way to visiting your village and all the places you lived previously back home

RodgersAkpafu:
Like I have told you
Let's give it a rest
U too rest

Just watch and see what happens in the next couple of months as the noose gets more and more tightened

Feel free to blame Aunty' Kemi as that happens

And no, the point u raised doesn't apply here because you cannot compare a straightforward process (Britain) with a convoluted one (Nigeria , India, et al)

Cheers

ehizario2012:
We know your type. I can see most people are already ignoring you, soon nobody would respond to your posts anymore. The presentation of a point is as important as the point itself. Cheers.

RodgersAkpafu:
like I (probably) said here before
I know of women who have been at the short end of the stick on account of archaic laws of Nigerian immigration

On different related matters

That's why I will have to side Kemi on this one

Go on reddit amd see for yourself the complaints from quite a number of our women.

Anyways, that failed shytehole will always do what makes it a failed shytehole

Please any idea how i can get a birth certificate affidavit in the UK for my Nigerian passport renewal? I'm processing the renewal via the app and currently stuck ar that stage.

Ejid1:
You’ll have to get someone in Nigeria to do it for you, it’s called declaration of age. Luckily i was in Lagos when my brother needed to renew his as well. I went to the NPC at one of the local government offices in Lagos.

You don’t need a passport to visit Northern Ireland as it is in the UK.

That's how it should be normally, but some airlines plying that route can be very erratic. I once needed a passport to book either on Ryanair or Easyjet (cant remember which one again).

See a related case below; they made the family pay almost 500 pounds, unexpectedly.

@ Vision202 boarding requirements seem to vary across airlines. There may be some that don't require a passport.

Lefty500:
If you read the story well, they were trying to fly from London(UK, England ) to Dublin (Europe, Ireland) and take a bus back to Belfast (UK, Northern Ireland). Definitely you will need a visa or Irish passport.

But if it's London directly to Belfast, you only need a proper ID with an expiry date, because it's still within UK

Northern Ireland is UK, Ireland is Europe, even though they share Border, you might even drive from N.I through Ireland without even knowing.

UK IMMIGRATION CHANGES FROM TODAY.

Today is one of the most serious changes to UK immigration rules in recent years, with further crucial changes following on 29th July.

How is it going to affect some immigrants?

Immediate Impact from today the - 22nd July 2025.

Skilled Workers will be hit badly:

• Skilled Workers minimum qualification requirements moves to degree level (RQF Level 6 equivalent to a bachelor’s degree)

• 100 plus occupation codes scrapped - care workers, hospitality roles, logistics, health support staff and others no longer eligible

• Salary threshold raised from £38700 to £41,700.
• Social Care Worker route permanently closed to new applicants.
• Supplementary work severely restricted - degree-level roles only

You will need to have a degree to get many roles in the UK. It will be back to school for many.

Further Changes from 29 July 2025

• Private Life settlement expanded for "half-life test" candidates

• UK-born children face stricter continuous residence tests

• Crown Dependencies residence now counts towards UK qualifying periods

I was banned by JustWise multiple times when I tried to help which made me to once abandoned the said account and was tagged as maybe fraudulent, but I understood.

Thanks to everyone that helped in keeping this forum alive, because reading here alone kept me going even when all hope was lost due to age wahala.

If I fit gather small time, I may share my journey as far as I could remember.
And help maybe one person to do a free Trade Course that costs about £7k; yes it came to me on a platter and I may have to help just 1 Londoner too who has the Zeal to become a Tradie.

As a silent observer, thank you for your contribution all the time.

I have another question as a first time driver

I have been on car search between Auto trader, Arnold's and other sites.

Conditions are; budget is 8k but I can do EV of more if it's worth it. I couldn't decide either to buy affordable new EV of 14k Dacia spring on payment plan or just buy any suggested used car under 8k. Suggestions given so far are Toyota Yaris, Hyundai i20, Peugeot 308 all 2020 version and above.

Kindly help me advice and suggestions that maybe outside of this list.
