RalphJean:
Help Needed please.
Just completed my studies (tier-4 visa).
I got a job and they are happy to provide me a CoS.

I have 2 dependants. The big dependant works full time already (on my tier-4 dependant visa).

Am I expected to show any ‘evidence of funds’ when I’m applying for visa for us since we are already in the UK?

Another thing, my love child (whom I left in Nigeria with his mum (I hate to use the term Baby Mama) when I came to the UK as student). If I want to bring him now that ground has levelled. Do I need to show maintenance funds in account?

Thanks as you help me with your suggestions.

Thanks.

Your employer (sponsor) shall provide a letter which will cover for maintenance fund. Whenever you're ready, speak with the HR, provide the applicants passport and they will give you a letter (maintenance letter). This is only applicable if your sponsor/employer is an A-rated sponsor.

I think your BRP will state leave to enter if you are coming in to the UK for the first time. However, if you renew within the UK, it will have Leave to remain on it. At least, that’s what I noticed with mine.

Thanks I now fully understand.

Business owners and contract staff, please I have a Question for you.

Can I create a foundation in Nigeria and pay money to it monthly then claim it as an expense to my LLC in the UK?

I’m looking for ways to increase my business expenses so I can legally pay less tax. At least I will be helping people back home in return.

Hi everyone. Please what's the process of filing for a divorce from UK? I'm married to a man who is not happy seeing me succeed,looking for ways to just bring me down. He's not been fending for me or the kids. I've been in UK for some years with the kids, working my ass out, taking care of them all alone while the father is in Nigeria. He has a dependant Visa but all he wants is to frustrate me. How do I go about it from here without visiting Nigeria please?
Thank you

Oh God, this is heartbreaking. I am so sorry. But you don’t need to divorce him. You can just love on with your life after all, he is dependant on you. If you don’t renew it, he can’t visit the UK. If your decision is to divorce him, I believe you have to do that where you married him (Nigeria I presume)

RalphJean:



Did you say you were scammed or you were the scammer?

Were you the ‘Scammer’ or the ‘Scammee’?

Dunno why this made me laugh

I sold on eBay using PayPal and the buyer used a spoof PayPal email to send payment confirmation to me. The emails said my payment was on hold and will reflect later. Called eBay and they said it happens to first time sellers. Only for me to send package and money didn’t show. Complained and both eBay and PayPal said the payment didn’t come through and the email wasn’t from them that I should report to the police. It was my first time selling on eBay and the whole thing was confusing.

Reporting a crime you cannot be penalised...so to answer your original question I dont believe it will affect PR

This is welcoming you to the UK. Unfortunately, you have been scammed, using an old fashioned format........

(1) Where did you post package to?
(2) What's the value of the package?
(3) When was item posted?...

Hopefully, others would learn from this...... BE CAREFUL WHEN SELLING ON EBAY AND GUMTREE.......

Infact to protect yourself financially, USE ANOTHER EMAIL FOR YOUR PAYPAL PAYMENT RECEIPTS.......

The scammer would not know this email and send spoof PayPal receipt, to your unregistered email...... (free advice)........

Anybody using azimo here pls?

I recommended azimo to somebody after reading about it here and the person tried it for the first time.
Azimo said they didn't receive anything and cancelled the transaction. The person called his bank and they said they sent the money to azimo.

What can he do now?

And to think that people are on ground to use this money for something now.

Lexusgs430 come and help me here pls.

Simple...... Take a copy of your bank statement + Azimo user id....... Send this details to Azimo's customer services.........

Unfortunately, those people expecting might have to wait for 7 days or so, till this is cleared up.........

Hi everyone.

Is it possible to get a National ID Number from the High Commission in London? Or can I only get it when in Nigeria?

Which fintech can I use to send money to a domiciliary account in Nigeria?
I used Azimo during the week for a test run. Although the money was delivered, the amount was different from what Azimo said the person will get. Per Azimo, asides their fees, Swift/Nigerian bank also deducted fees.
Are there any other payment channels I can use?

Head to your nearest police station and lodge an official complaint....

They would investigate it......

Did you post via tracking system?

If it's not yet delivered, stop/block delivery.........

Azimo always delivers amount on invoice. How different was final figure?.....

I used world remit which I heard about from here... so far it's been positive

Lexusgs430:

I tried with £200. They said they will deliver $257.6 but the person got $230.6. So $27 as charges by Swift/Nigerian Bank.

I posted via tracking system and it has been delivered. Someone signed for it sef.

Can't seem to get to send to Nigeria bank USD domiciliary account. Tried both worldremit and transferwise.

Good day experienced people in the house.
Please I intend to do my masters in the UK and also intend to go with my wife as Dependant. I will like to know if its advisable she comes immediately with me or should I wait after some months to stabilize first. Do you think surviving as new comers with academic responsibility is achievable.
What should we take note of as we proceed

Because you wanted it paid in $. If payment was in local currency, received amount would not change.......

All you can do now is report it and add this to your bag of online transaction negative experience.............

Yeah I wanted it paid in $. My experience when using naira was better. I got what was quoted.
Do you have any other recommendations?

No you cant, your foundation has to be registered in the UK in order for you to claim it as an expense.
