TravelRe: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by santos247(m): 6:58pm On Jul 21, 2022
Please pardon me for this quick questions.
1. Are students and swv holders not eligible to rent council flats? I saw a few in my village and the rent even looks high? I am on the verge of renting.
2. What is the simplest approach to building credit history for somebody who just enter UK?

[color=#000099][/color]

bigtt76:
I said on one other thread - Master's degree in the UK is all about research and individual work, the lecturers only guide you through the process. When you heard about the council flats, the ideal thing to have done is look through your student visa terms and conditions before dabbling into it despite voices advising you to go for it. Always weigh your decision on both sides of the coin not one sided.

I agree with you that some Nigerians abroad may be deceptive but not all. Always weigh things before you take a decision on hearsay. Your reality may be different from the other person. One love peeps kiss
TravelRe: Diary Of A Nigerian Immigrant To The UK by santos247(m): 6:16pm On Jul 14, 2022
Don't speak like Buhari even if you share names.
1. Our self destruct policies I the reason behin d our poverty. Vietnam was in the same position as Nigeria in the 1960s.
2. What have we done with all the Abacha loot returned? Nigeria is what it is, because of the decisions of her leaders.
3. China imposed a one child policy for several decades to bring down population growth rate while exponentially growing their economy. They stopped the policy only recently because they now have an aged population meanwhile birth rate still remain lows despite the relaxation of the law.
4. There is a directnrelarionship between polygamous countries and poverty. The most polygamous countries are sitting bellow the human development index.
It is not a coincidence that Northern Nigeria have a chronic poverty problem and human development index worse than south. We are too many. The only use of that big population is when its amounts to vote for politicians. The voters themselves are left with hospitals without drugs, ratio of doctors to patients is astronomically high, few schools that lack everything a modern school should have etc. Didnt you follow the trends with Zamfarra?
Abeg... Too much to say.

GenBuhari:
My dear sister, Are you aware the trillions of dollars that have been stolen from us by RAClST Caucasian Globalists? e.g. Malibu oil block theft etc.

Do you think it is just a coincidence that our country and rest of Africa is riddled with terrorism and insurgency from top to bottom whilst Caucasian countries are living in peace and harmony? It is the handiwork of these globalists controlling the world.

Do you know that our government and African countries in general do not free will to fix our countries and economy?
Nobody is starving in Nigeria we are blessed with abundance of food that grows from the soil.

Can you imagine that after 24 years of our pretend democracy we still have not seen the advantages of the so called democracy and we have been unable to produce a constitution that would make us develop. It's all by design, globalists are behind our problems not our population.

China is the most populated country and they have developed to become the most powerful nation in the world.

GenBuhari:
Madam you are very misguided for making this post.
Population is not Nigeria's problem our problem is corruption and external sabotage.
Population is one of our problem. Tel me, how can a country be prosperous where under 13 are made to get pregnant and continjebto make babaies into their fourties?
The average litter size in Nigeria is higher then the global average. Plot the graph of the most polygamous countries with GDP/GNI and humans development index and you will see that the most polygamous nations are within the poorest bracket.
When you make excess babies, you also need to provide more schools, hospitals, social facilities etc, for them and if this is not managed, it becomes a burden on the nation. Why do you think China imposed the 1-child policy to curb overpopulation?
Please .

Yes. Just go with your signed lease agreement and university letter. The former should suffice but just take the Uni letter as well just in case.

Revolut is not a UK bank. Most organisations don't recognise their statements.
The bank rejected both. I was told I need a letter from the Home office addressed to me at that address... I think it's a longer run for me. I will try Monzo in the interim.

Please what other options can I use as proof of residence.
I rented a room in a flat and the utility bill is not in my name. Will a lease agreement signed by me and the landlord suffice?
1. If the landlord gives me a support letter
2. If my University issue a support letter, stating my address
3. I have a Revolut account. Could the statement of account from Revolut work?

I need this document to open a bank acount with one of the conventional banks- NATWEST. I intend to go to the branch as the online account opening process has stressed my life for several days. Its quite a distance from my place so I want to be fairly sure of my success. Thanks.

THis disposable card, can it be used to buy in store or only online?

jadepinkett:
With Revolut free account, you can have a virtual card that would serve the same purpose as your ATM. You also have the option to generate a disposable virtual card. Revolut made me not to know this country's currency cos I rarely carry cash

Add them as dependents/people travelling with you with their pasport details.
Obviously, u wont apply for visa for them. Rem, u fill visa form for each person, so in this case, u fill for yoruself only.

Your dependant needs a criminal record of they're above 18.

As for the email, I'm not really sure about that, but I've heard some people say they used one email for their application as a family
You can use a single email for the entire family application. I did for a family of 4.

How long did it take for the CoS to drop after the submissions?
Almost 6-7 weeks faaa. I waited and inquired tire via email and phone call. Infact the day it came, I had to make a telephone call to HR.
By my understanding, the employer was using resumption date to issue COS.
TravelRe: UK Skilled Worker Visa / Health And Care Worker Visa / Qualified Teacher Route by santos247(m): 6:52am On May 11, 2022
YOu can search Indeed.co.uk and LinkedIn.
Because UK is a highly competitive country in terms of academia, a PhD would be required for most academic appointments such as TEaching Associate, Research Associate, Lecturer, Senior Research Fellow or Research Fellow etc.
Goodluck.

Not sure I replied this earlier.
I filled an online form for the COS application, filled another one for DBS check (police check in UK), submitted copies of my degree certificate and passport (myself and dependents). I processed UTAS (those involved in research, ECCTIS/NARIC (English language certification) and sent them all to employer. Subsequently, COS was issued.
Goodluck

Hi Santos247,
Congrats on your new role. I'm celebrate with you. I've been pursuing same (academic role) to no avail despite having a UK MSc & Ph.D. I've had several interviews on zoom and microsoft teams but keep getting the "we are sorry another candidate was more suitable for the role". I don taya. Had more than 5 interviews this yr alone!

Do you mind if we chat offline to share some inteview tips from you? Im currently with one of the Federal Univs but increasingly getting frustrated with incessant strikes and no pay! Im tempted to resort to care jobs, but trying to thread with caution so that I dont derail my career trajectory. undecided

Pray tell,
What do we bring to the table that can be termed "exceptional"? Our Universities do not qualify to the category producing "global talents". It does not mean global talents are not emerging but our system is not the one producing them. Its a simple truth.

Completing the PhD and being able to showcase good research pedigree would be an advantage. The entry level lecturing roles in UK require a PhD most times.
