It's funny how right wing British politics has got.
Labour now are centre-right
The conservatives are 'mid-right'
Reform are far-right
Restore Britain are the farthest (abi extreme) right

It seems everyone is scrambling for the right-wing vote leaving LibDems and Greens +/- 'Your party' to scramble for the left

Don't you want faster route to citizenship?

3 yrs to ILR but with 1 hand, 1 leg and half of your face missing, small schizophrenia here and there & maybe severe PTSD

Small price to pay for a passport which grants you rights to enter heaven and you can also sneer at your fellow Nigerians because you better pass your neighbour

See Badenough complaining about identity politics because someone implied she and her children are not really British -

Doesn’t she have a sense of irony?

Dear Elders and my intelligent community,

Please i need clarification on the following.

1. What do you think about a 6 months pregnant women traveling to Nigeria from UK and returning at 8 months. This is because she is on maternity leave and would be having an irish twins. She has a 9 months old baby and it is getting harder to take care of herself with pregnancy and taking care of an active 9 months baby.

2. Can one travel with a one month baby to Nigeria. Does the baby need to have a passport before traveling out of the UK. The baby will be put on the parent's visa once born but she would like to go back to Nigeria to be taken care of after birth. What are the things she has to put in place for this to happen.

Thank you.

Just so you know, the term you used to describe the children's age gap is considered derogatory.

1. I think you can get a fit to fly letter at 32 weeks and up to 35 weeks or so. You need to check with the airline she'll use as their policies may differ.
2. You can travel with a 1 month old baby. Yes, the baby needs to have a passport.

Good luck to you both. A family member had children 15 months apart (in Lagos, both holding down jobs, family not present) and we all ultimately had to pitch in with what became a small-scale community project to get them over the hump.

When did this one start again

Due to the ongoing merger of NHS England and Department of Health and Social Care, we are currently unable to provide certificates of sponsorship for individuals joining the organisation.

Knowlegeseeking:
Thank you for your insight Cyberknight.

I didn't know the term was derogatory. I thought it was just used to describe babies born within twelve months of eachother. I am talking about myself and so, i wouldn't have knowingly used a derogatory word to describe my situation.

I have checked the NIS and based on the next available biometrics date, i wouldn't be able to complete biometrics and get passport for the newborn within a month.

Can i use the emergency travel certicate and then get the passport done in Nigeria before flying back?

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

Please who has been in a similar situation.
My student visa was supposed to expire 30 Aug 2026, however because I completed my study early, my leave was shortened and the new visa end date is 28 March.

I have now gotten a GTV endorsement, applied for the visa and paid IHS.

Am I eligible for a refund as I have circa six months left on the original visa? The info I see online mentioned that there is no refund for shortened visas, but this was not due to a negative situation. Chatgpt also says that my case will be judged with the new expiry date which means there's only one month overlap.

Please who has a lived experience? Make I no if I get small hope to get refund for my family as the payment no be small money abeg.

Goodenoch:
As I understand it, the operative date is the date when you get your GTV; when you applied doesn't matter. If you get it before 30th of February and so have 6 months of IHS that you paid for but haven't 'used', you should be eligible. If it's even a day after, you won't get anything because the refunds are only calculated in 6-month intervals.

If there was up to 6 months overlap you'd have been able to but the refunds are only done in 6 month intervals.

Source: I have claimed overlapping periods multiple times. Not in relation to a shortened visa as in your case though so I might be mistaken and the rules may be different for that.

What is the derogatory term or phrase used here please. Asking genuinely for learning purposes.

I seem to recall that there was a parenting in the UK thread that opened sometime ago. Tried to find the thread cant seem to locate it, not sure if its still going on. I am hoping I can get resources there on diagnosing a kid with Adhd. Would appreciate if anyone has knowledge of the process or got a link to the thread. It about time I stopped being a typical african parent and face reality head on.

I was about to come say this. Congratulations to them.

No more ass licking, Reform chasing Labour party.

I'm never voting for them again.

Green is the way forward.

Thumbs up Hannah Spencer!
