Is there a way to update/rectify NIN biometrics issues in UK. I am unable to verify my NIN while filling passport renewal form. After the back and forth, was told my fingerprint capture was not successful during registration. Most NIN centres in UK only process new registrations. Any idea on how I can update my NIN fingerprint? |

Lexusgs430:Is this not something that can be contested if it was not mentioned as an issue or advisory on the last service/MOT? More so if the driver has not covered significant miles since then |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Lexusgs430: 12:26pm On Jul 29 |
jedisco:I am certain tryre advisory would be present on the test result....... Many of us tend to ignore advisory warnings.... Motor don pass, e don pass b dat...... 🤣😂 |

Lexusgs430:NA wa oo NA de front tyres cause the accident? Were the two tyres mentioned in the MOT as advisory? How did the car pass MOT? |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by ukay2: 9:18pm On Jul 29 |
Lexusgs430:Congratulations Boss |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Lexusgs430: 9:21pm On Jul 29 |
ukay2:A car can pass it's MOT test, with tyre thread depth of 1.6MM (this would be advised)... Any tyre below 1.6 MM, would be refused an MOT certificate.... Unfortunately, the insurance company would blame anything blameable, to avoid paying out. So the onus is on the insured, to ensure...... Everything correct..... 😁😂 |

ukay2:Thank you Oga.... We don go, we don return..... 😁 |

Lexusgs430:Hehe.. Experienced same when I had a crash. My tires were a bit low a d mentioned on my service but not there yet. When it happened, I was quite worried of them checking. But I think the company are just trying to wriggle out. If it was an advisory, he can take it up with them especially if he had not driven thousands of miles afterwards. I remember telling u then when I had to drag with my insurers abt not informing DVLA abt my change of address. Good enough, I had informed the insurance company. They wanted to cut £200 from my payout for something I could do freely online and something that wouldn't have had an impact on my payout. I kept refusing the payout. After some dragging, I got my full payout. Insurance dey sweet during payout finally. |

HustlaOfLagos:They have a surface resemblance because both may use evidence of achievement and recognition, but they are separate systems with different legal tests. EB-1A requires either a qualifying one-time achievement or evidence meeting at least three listed criteria, followed by a final-merits review of whether the record as a whole shows sustained acclaim and that the person is among the small percentage at the top of the field. The UK Global Talent route uses its own endorsement or eligible-prize framework. Some documents may be useful in both applications, but an argument built for one should not be copied into the other. The evidence has to be mapped to the exact test of the route being used. |

jedisco:So you are saying tyres got advisories, same vehicle was involved in an accident, insurance company attributing accident to bald tyres......... And voided insurance policy...... You now want to take your fight to the test centre for what exactly ? Because you have only done 20 miles since the test and you want to hold them liable ......... ![]() Just read your insurance companies small prints....... Everywhere go blur ....... ![]() |

jedisco:After una claim by how much the cost of una insurance go up. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 3:58pm On Aug 01 |
directonpc:Can't remember the numbers fully, but I think it went up from about £700 to about £1,150. Also, bear in mind I moved to an electric vehicle, which tend out to have higher insurance costs eitherway. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 4:02pm On Aug 01 |
Lexusgs430:Not the test centre but insurance company. There should be a way to challenge them denying an insurance claim. Afterall, what does he stand to lose? |

Interesting video. Always love the nuance he brings to interpreting data https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP0DH47rnAM?si=QLiJPWSFiNLr3B05 |

jedisco:This is really insightful. I like the way he breaks down the issues tracing it back to the circumstances surrounding how each group arrived in the UK, the cultural backgrounds etc. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by jedisco(m): 7:19pm On Aug 01 |
LionInZion:True. The cohorts that migrate and the struggles they face initially almost always have far-reaching effects in terms of attainment. Legal migration today into the UK is highly selective, and it doesn't surprise me that this would fit into attainment. Also, if you look at the past and see the struggles and issues with racism, that really put a ceiling on what blacks could achieve for a while. This is the main reason why I'm very particular are macro changes that limit attainment. What I find surprising is that despite attainment among kids in Caribbean communities lagging behind their West African counterparts, this tends to balance out once they get into uni. I wonder if self-selection is playing a role here again, as those who get into uni will already be academic. |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by LionInZion: 7:38pm On Aug 01 |
jedisco: Yes, I also suspect self-selection as a factor, plus possibly having survived against all odds (racism, being put down, being told off etc) from primary through secondary school. By the time they get to uni, they would have attained some level of self-awareness and confidence that can withstand all sorts and ensure they hold their own. |

jedisco:You want to challenge the insurance company, when in the small prints you signed, as a condition to them selling you a policy..... You agreed that your vehicle would be mechanically sound, as a pre-condition to their policy......😂 They probably also sent you pictures of your very bald tyres...... 😁😘 |
| Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by directonpc(m): 10:54am On Aug 02 |
jedisco:That's not bad at all. |

jedisco:This is so true because majority of Jamaican men I know just want to sell weed + drugs and they all have 2 to 3 baby mamas. ![]() |
