Quick one guys: Can i use a “Mrs” with a maiden name?

quivah:
Hi guys.
I need some answers please.
On License, name is - George Getty Gerry
On passport it's - George Getty Gerry
However, on notification of result from NMCN , it's written Gerry Getty George

Tried renewing license online and it says - RN number doesn't match surname.

What can be done?
Also, can this different name arrangement cause any issue with NMC UK?
Thanks in advance

Goodevening Guys.

It's not about being ungrateful. Sometimes if you undersell yourself, it's very difficult to recover except you leave for another company. During my time, low paying graduate jobs in my industry were paying £26k while some were paying £40k. This was almost 10 years ago. I do not see anything wrong with the person raising an eyebrow about the pay. He/she was probably trying to gauge opinion on the salary. I thought my pay was okay since it was similar to my earnings in Nigeria but because I hadn't worked in the UK before, I didn't know much about the cost of living and taxation.

MrOkenwa:
Good morning.
Please what would be the fate of a 7 years old in pry 3 here in Nigeria, when he migrates with his parents to the uk? Is he going to start his education all over again?
Thank you in anticipation.

And when wahala starts its only you that will carry that cross. What worked for someone few years ago might not work in 2021 .however when the advice is made it doesn't factor that the system is changing as well to be more equipped

For example HMRC now has a "better" real time PAYE reporting for employers , making it much harder to work under the table. HMRC has also implemented better system to match your earnings with NI and that info is accessible during visa renewal

Half information is dangerous. All these your GRA GRA no be ham oh

The sponsorship you are talking about is for startup visa, where the student present a business and the uni endorses them for a 2 years visa, which allows them to work full time and switch employment.

No such thing as sponsorship for internship/placement by uni, as it's a part of you modules which you need to go and get experience from an organisation.

Hustle pass hustle, some people are into dubious stuff, others are in breach of there visa conditions. Because Mr A. Did and was successful Mr B. Might not be.

Before you say let experience people talk, please find my receipt below.

I know how many people University themselves don sponsor for self employed I dont want to mention.

Dont know why we black people are full of discouragement.

u will always look for a way to tackle and find fault not to appreciate a good idea.

Let ma tell u what its required of u to drive uber.

1) A good car at least £2000-£5000
2) u need to have FULL UK Driver license for ag least one year.

Ok- now, how can u get a full UK DRIVER license:

For you to Apply for a UK-FULL Driver license:
*You need a UK- Provisional Driver License.

(Dont ever think u can drive Uber with your Nigeria-International Driver license, which u can use to drive for one year I UK starting from the day u enter UK)

* Meanwhile, UK Provisional Driver Licence is a LEARNER Licence which valid for around 25years.
You can drive alone with it. u need someone with UK Full Driver license to drive with it according to the UK law.

* After u secured the PROVISIONAL DRIVER LICENSE
u need to book a Driver test at:
https://www.gov.uk/driving-test
(it has been suspended due to COVID19)

* After u pass ur driving test then u can apply for a FULL UK Driver license. dont think uf u re a perfect driver in Nigeria that should give u boldness that will pass a UK Driver Test...Error!!! its advisable for u to book a driving training for at least 3 days or 5 days ag around £100
for u to know the Driver codes. remember it RIGHT HAND driving and their road is so small...


your question:
It's not easy for students or their Dependent to drive an Uber in UK. it could takes u up to 1.5 years or more.

Meanwhile u can do Uber Food delivery (JUST EAT) with car ( with ur international Driver Licence) or Bike or bicycle.
u can even get a car at £300-500 and start ur uber eat deliveries and make money like Uber/Taxi Driving.

as a foreign student and new driver car insurance can cost u around £150 per month. with either ur Professional Licence or International Driver license.

Home this helps everyone!
Cheers

I don't think you understand the context of the question. I think that person is asking about the legalities involved. Prior to now, the government considered Uber drivers as being self employed hence a Tier 4 student could not work as an Uber driver. Now the Supreme has ruled Uber drivers be considered as employees, not self employed. Question is does this carry over into the immigration perspective as well?
Personally i doubt the government can have double standards on the same matter but who knows.

Iyanu6000:
Good Evening,

I was told i can apply to schools, pay part of the fees and work to pay for the balance.

How true is this? i am trying to apply for a masters...will i get a job that would be sufficient for me to pay for my fees and my upkeep?

Regards

PtBlank:
Hello guys,

Does this ruling against Uber mean students can now drive Uber since the drivers are to be considered employees rather than self employed?

Good day guys, pls i need advice on what to do. I am 30 years old man and i met this lady some few months ago who told me she is 27 years old then, cuz of her smallish nature i believed her. I love her and she loves me too, fast forward to 3 weeks ago wen she texted me dat she has missed her period (2 weeks) and she is sick...infact all the signs of sickness pointed dat she is pregnant. I invited her to my place and we went for a pregnancy test which the test result was positive. When we got home, we started discussing the way forward she asked me what i want and i told her i will like her to kip the pregnancy (she agreed) and c how i can organised my family to meet hers, but in the process of talking she said she is 33 years old unknowing to her that she has told me before she is 27 years...immediately i got angry and started saying things i dont mean..i even told her to terminate the pregnancy dat i dont need it. I wore my clothes and i went out, on coming back home she has packed her tins and left my house. I gave her almst 100 missed calls. I texted her. I have apologised, begged and yet she is not picking my calls. The truth of the matter is that i cant get married to sum1 of that age and i want the baby...i dont want her to kill an innocent baby. Pls help...i dont knw what to do. Lalasticlala ishilove seun

One bottle of Smirnoff for you! I hear young people shouting that they want to be president, they want to lead. Me I asked them if they have ever done anything in their street or village?

They can’t even be good to neighbours but somehow think they will be better leaders.

Can’t wait to change my passport. I will stop coming to nairaland

Chukwuka16:
Does not hold again. As long as main applicant is in-status (valid employment with visa) old dependants visas remain valid till validity expires (then they can switch to whatever visa main applicant currently holds).

veegal:
Hello everyone, please i need a clarification on this; hubby has been on Tier 2 work Visa(3 years) since 2019.We joined him as dependents recently. He got another offer with another Employer and he's applying for another visa. The new employer provided COS that will cover us as well. Do we need to apply for visas together with him? Are our BRPs still valid despite him applying for a new Visa? Please help!!

EmmyKing86:
This really does not make sense.

I received my provisional driving licence less than 2 weeks after application around mid-December 2020. My elder brother got his ILR application approved less than 2 months after applying also in mid-December 2020. I got my COS for tier-2 renewal sent to me following an application from my sponsor in less than 2 days.

Despite the huge restrictions and reduction of staff due to the implementation of social distancing rules here in the UK, essential services are still working effectively & efficiently through innovation. The system is adapting as the situation unfolds. Also, the times I called their phone line, I did not wait for more than 5 minutes.

However, the Nigerian High Commission is still closed with the back-log growing massively. No innovation to attend to customers. They cannot even answer their phones and respond to email messages. Now, I'm hearing one might need to pay extra to get an earlier date.

The basic can not even be accomplished. This is so so annoying. Who did this to us?

Gang90:
You should have asked why have I not had sex, it is not on any self control stuff but although as a child I wanted to be a priest, I grew up to see somethings as impure, including people, note this is not in the moral concepts, I only accept people that I love, by love here I don't mean sexual attraction, for instance even if my brother has an infectious disease, I may not leave his side but a stranger that I dislike with common cold could irritate me, that's how some things work for me, first of all I don't like my brother's wife whatsoever so this type of thing from her even seems more irritating .

I might stay up and work throughout the night so that tomorrow morning I can sleep in the living room a bit before sorting everything out tomorrow by noon

SamReinvented:
I greet the house ooo.

Please what is the current best place to change USD to GBP in terms of rates? Nigerian airport or Heathrow/UK?

Futureukstudent:

2. I am planning to start applying for schools now for September in take, how long will it take after the school givea admission before u can apply for visa?

3. Are there any other program someone can do with a 3rd class in the u.k?


I will be very glad if someone gives me a reply. Thank you in advance.

LagosismyHome:
I don't know for sure how nursing or care home is fully set up but this the second time I am seeing this were nurses appear to be working in a care home

Regarding coming. If you feel UK will give you a better opportunity then go for it and hopefully covid will be in better control this 2021. ... just ensure when you start work that you are fully kitted in PPE

Captaincool1:
I am expecting my invitation to work in the UK as a nurse.

You mean you are currently a Nurse, and is awaiting a Work Visa to migrate to the UK and practice as a registered Nurse (possibly in the NHS)?


I have so many concerns cos my brother in the UK is discouraging from coming due to no much activities as a result of covid 19.

What is your brother telling you? That there are no activities for Nurses in the UK due to Kovik?

What are the challenges in the hospital sector. Though I was told I would start as a caregiver.

Was it your prospective employer that told you that?

I would need help from caregivers in the UK. Thanks

Mimzyy:
Yes. Hope it makes sense now or do I need to buttress ?


It’s PTA for my mum...
