This is a good idea but there’s a huge gap between market exchange rate and that of form A

If you have been qualified for over 5years, you can become a member of ICAEW i think. otherwise you have to write some exams and same goes for ACCA as per exams

Hello wonderful People.

Please I need guidance for a Nigerian Chartered Accountant who will be coming to work in the UK, wife is a health worker who already secured a job and resides in the UK.

1. What are the necessary courses or exams he needs to take for a good career start,

2. what are his chances of moving his career ahead in the UK.

3. Is there a support group or social media threads he can follow for proper guidance and mentorship.

Thank you.

Which name did she use on the application form? The name should be same as the name on the tuberculosis certificate. You can try submitting both passports but is the change of name a new development?
Yakeeboy:
Hello house I have a pressing issue bothering me. My spouse currently is not bearing my surname on her passport but we have registered for another one which will be out probably by Dec 10 but the issue is her Tuberculosis test is scheduled for Nov 29 and her current passport bears her name. Please can she use her current passport for the TBS? Then use the new passport that will bear my surname for her visa applocation.... Will there be any issue. Please advise

As a tech expert you can get the answers to your question online. Just search for IT jobs online for the type of job you interesting around the city of your intended University.
You’ll only be entitled to work 20Hrs per week during school term since you are a student ...but during holidays you can work 24/7 a week if u like ...lol..

Lastly use this sites to search for jobs : indeed.com
Reeds.com
Totaljobs. and also LinkedIn...
Okay, thanks.

Freelancers most likely would be paid by self employment or limited company. Both you cannt do on tier 4 visa

If the company payrolls you as a staff then its possible . However to find an agency that would payroll a freelance is almost impossible
I just learnt about this. Thanks.

If by “available” you mean:

Are freelance jobs just sitting around waiting for you?

Or

Do freelance jobs exist for Devs?

The answer to the first is “leemao!”, while the answer to the second is, “baba na IT person you be, why you dey ask this kain question when just fit google??”

Register on fiverr.
Maybe I should have asked another way. I've gotten my answer though. Thanks.

I am scared cos they use to hammer on joint bills, joint account, mortgage in both names, anything joint sha.

Wedding will take place December 24th. We will be applying early next year as against May intake.

I don’t think we will be having any of those join join things.

I know marriage certificate will cover the genuine part, but what about the subsisting part.

Nothing to be scared of as far you have your marriage certificate and it a genuine marriage no course for alarm. I personally applied for a friend to come join her husband three days after their court wedding and only uploaded her marriage certificate and visa was granted.. note this advice is based on Tier 4 visa and not spousal visa as it involves so many proves to show the marriage is real.

There's a difference between spousal visa and PBS dependant visa.

Guidelines from the UK are usually very explicit. This is from page 107 of the guidelines for students taken from https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/points-based-system-student-route

If the Student and the dependant partner are married or in a civil partnership acceptable forms of evidence include:
- a valid document providing record of the marriage or civil partnership such as a marriage or civil partnership certificate.
- a valid overseas registration document for a same-sex relationship which is entitled to be treated as a civil partnership under the Civil Partnership Act of
2004.


If the Student and the person applying as a dependant partner are not married or in a civil partnership, they can demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship by
providing evidence they have lived together for 2 years. This can include if the Student and the person applying as a dependant partner are not married or in a civil
partnership, they can demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship by providing evidence they have lived together for 2 years. This can include
• bank statements, council tax, or utility bills
• residential mortgage statements or tenancy agreements
• official correspondence or documents that link the Student and their partner and show they are living at the same address.


This is not an exhaustive list and other documents can be used to demonstrate that a relationship is genuine and subsisting.

Be careful not to add unnecessary docs that end up raising suspicion and doubts and showing desperation. They can smell it from afar. It's better they request for more. Give them what their guideline says - marriage certificate if legally married or provide the proofs requested if in a civil relationship and goodluck with your application.

If you are not yet living together nobody in this world will expect joint joint this and that for a new marriage that happened in Dec

Marriage certificate and some pictures would be sufficient

Guidance says marriage cert and joint bills. And also the guidance clearly states not to add unceasary docs or irrelevant docs.


April 2019 Me and my big head after reading PBS dependant guidance back to back out in application for my spouse with marriage cert and only docs requested (maintanance, passport etc) na so we see denial for mail oh.

When we reapplied, I put everything putable, pictures, chat call history, letter from naija government, letter from court etc. That's when we are granted the visa oh.


Moral of the story

Its better safe than sorry.

This interesting and noted ......as my family members came in January batch on tier 4 . All that was attached was their marriage certificate and wedding pictures. No issues at all , although they have a child together so birth certificate was also included with pictures of the family

They both lived in nigeria the same house but had no evidence in terms of joint Bill's or lease
.. my feedback was based on that experience, it good to note that it can be subjective and hence put all you have. Thanks

Good afternoon everyone,

I am a Tier 2 holder working on bringing my wife and kids to join me in the UK

For those who have applied for tier 2 dependant visa recently, I am aware TB test, marriage certificate, birth certificate, CoS, POF are the major requirements on gov.uk. ordinarily, i know they might need other evidence of relationship such as pictures, joint account, immunization card etc. All of which I have. What other items can my dependants submit to boost their chances of approval?

Also, is Monzo Bank statement acceptable to show POF? This is the only account I have in the UK. Wanted to send the money to the joint account but this one exchange rate is doing, anything can happen in 90 days.

here in northeast it only took two weeks to receive the one I did for a friend, a non British passport holder! I think it differs from one DVLA offices to another.
why could your friend not do it himself
sometimes we come online to tell fib jst to justify our claims. everything we apply for is set back by a minimum of 4 weeks cos of the backlog. there is no one in the office as they are all almost working from home. as we speak people who ha e been approved to get citizenship since April this year are still waiting for invite letters.
