Hello everyone:

Kindly help me out here:

Is it wise to submit 2 different account statements to the emabassy?

I have paid my deposit but I have the tuition balance in my husbands pounds account

But The living expenses fund is in my own account ( applying as a family).

Should I covert the balance to naira and keep it in the same account as my living expenses ? Or move the funds to my own pounds personal pounds account?

Thank you all.

Good morning Grace321
can i please get the email to copy?.

I applied since the 20th September 2020 for this years September section I am yet to get a decision.

I have sent several emails yet nothing.

Probably because they are still attending to some January, February and May Applicants.

Please, I need help. UKVI Pretoria sent me a mail for interview next week Wednesday and few minutes later, they sent me a non straight forward email which they normally send when decision has been made. Can someone please help me clarify this?

You’d have to prepare for the interview.

I think the Non Straightforward mail was supposed to come before the Interview.

Relax and go for interview.

I received pick-up text from TLS not long without any decision mail....I submitted a priority app at Abuja center on Jan 19th
I pray for a positive decision

Good morning NL family,

Please my aunt is about to apply for visa for herslf and her son. But we are so confused on how to go about it. My aunt was once married but her husband abandoned her and left for Uk for like 9 years now. He no longer cares for his family and no communication with the family. We got information from the cousin that he is staying in UK as an illegal immigrant.

Our question now is:
1) If we should fill his details as my aunt husband and father to her son. She has been the only one catering for her son for 9 years now.

2)Will filling his details on their application affect their chances of getting a visa based on his immigration status. Please what can she do about this.

Ps: my aunt was later in a relationship with another man for a year now. Can he stand for them?

@mimilyrics @Lagosismyhome @ Justwise and all the gurus in the house.

.

His immigration status in the UK will likely have an effect on there application, there is no way to proof that he is not in communication with his family back in Nigeria, this could be seen as a way of bringing his family to join him .

Your aunt will need letter of consent from him to travel with those kids.

2. Stand for them as for?

She needs court documents stating she has sole custody and other parents not in child's life. That might help

Any decision mail for those who did their biometrics on the 13/01/2021?

I did biometrics on the 30/12/2020 at TLS Ikeja.
Although, I received a phone call from my bank(Access), to confirm if I sent a statement to Uk embassy, then the following day which was Tuesday, I received a non-straightforward mail

@justwise, thanks for your reply.

2.) If her current husband can give consent for her son.

Or is it better she get a sole custody order for her son?

Thank you so much @Lagosismyhome.

Please one more question.
Previously they applied for visa last 2 years and used the father"s details and the visas were refused because she couldn't provide the father's consent. Please advise if this current application with sole custody order will be affected by their previous application that was refused?

Insights on career paths for aspiring analysts in the UK.
Data analytics is gaining ground rapidly in the IT world. Your remit would be to produce dependable business insights, metrics, bus. intelligence, and easily understandable dashboards to mostly senior management. Look into learning tools like PowerBI, Tableau and if possible SAP Business Objects.
Some knowledge of SQL will not go amiss.

Even in computing, you generate structured and unstructured data every second, people need to analyse it. There are data lakes, databases and data warehouses everywhere now where insights and reports need to be generated. So, this is not going anywhere. It has been established that we have more connected devices accessing various social media platforms, APIs & microservices generating humoguous volume of data in petabyte scale upon which some form of intelligence is required. In fact, all the fintechs, startups, banks, telecoms every area rely on data to function. See, some data analysts are even providing Boris with information everyday on Covid19. I don't think there are well known certifications for this area of specialisation except to be very proficient and be able to demonstrate it. Covid has impacted most field of study but in my humble opinion, this going to grow bigger and bigger. Data is the new gold! It's a generic advice which I use to guide people close to me. UK is very work focus and less of education for a lot of sector however it good to have the MSC to use as stepping stone into the country. Now start to build your resume. Look at the internet to see if you can find people in that industry cv or resume. It would give you an idea of the skills set . If you can find at least 10.do not plagiarized but use it as a guide. It would give you insight into INDUSTRY skills or software u need to learn.

Then try to build yourself up toward those skills. If you have such relevant work experience great. If you dont then start learning it and practise them . Use your master year to really build yourself up on whats expected in the industry. Then sit and write that Cv......Offcourse it only what you can defend or articulate that put down . Doing a good cv will get you to front of the house, selling yourself well will get u inside the house and most importantly delivering with keep you in the house. So dont play with those 3.

A lot can be self development if you dont have the skills from Nigeria...... That is still sellable (self developed skills it's all how you can articulate it on cv and in an interview) . For IT the regular jobsite such as jobsite, jobserve etc usually is enough. Jobs are posted and you just keep applying. A good CV will usually get a call back so that Cv has to be on point. Good luck as you embark on this journey.

Many Thanks to @Ralphlauren, @wonlasewonimi, @Aphrodite007, @LagosismyHome for their input.

Please can someone explain this

The people that have their transcript, how did they do it?
My school said they don't send transcript to people except for institutions.
I am applying for MSC in a university in UK and they said I should upload my transcript mysef. Now how do I do it since I don't have my transcript. I will also like to have my transcript for other applications.

Request a student copy of your Transcript from your university.
