Hi
I’m new here and I recently applied to Nottingham Trent University,
Is there anyone here that also applied?

Hey, anybody in Nottingham or Loughborough? I will be coming to the Sutton Bonighton campus of the University of Nottingham by April. You may be of help in securing an apartment. I intend to come with my family. I need to connect and get people on the ground to show me some light.

Congratulations and kudos for your good work here.
Please I want to ask if this will be applicable to me: "your UK PhD certificate, or your unique Ecctis reference number (formerly unique UK NARIC reference number) if your qualification is from outside the UK - you’ll need to apply through Ecctis"

I am coming in for a position that requires PhD- lecturing position. I sent to the HR of my school a copy of my PhD and a WES evaluation of the PhD (I did it with the hope of using it for Canada). I have not been able to submit visa application as my TB test date is March 1 meanwhile I am still waiting for another police clearance apart from Naija own. I want to do all other things during the waiting period. Any other step you think I should do for now?

EvergreenDiarie:
Thank you for the comment, I have been so so busy these days that I couldn't make it to update this thread. We have gone all through the ups and downs and visa was finally out but that of my son of 6 years old was not sent along ours so we have to keep waiting, sending paid mails, visiting them at the office and finally it was issued and released to us.


This cause us delay so much so we couldn't leave earlier as planned but we will be leaving this weekend, God's willing.

You see why I came here? So I won't make any mistake. Thanks for the counsel.
I don they gather document. If I need more questions, I will be right back.
For now, TB test and police clearance are delaying me.. Not naija police clearance o...Satafrika. Those ones don't do accelerated issuance.

if
you are coming to the uk on a skilled worker visa then your spouse’s visa category will be partner dependent skilled worker and that of your children- child dependent skilled worker. It wont be spouse visa as you have stated above. Dnt apply for the wrong category of visa as you will be denied and your money lost. So confirm very well.

Please anyone here living in Nottingham or Loughborough?
I need help with pre-arrival inquiries. Somebody i can chat with and get insights.

Thanks so much sir.
Can one access credit services on this Monzo account? I am looking towards building credit history?

1. IELT i believe is mainly for student visa, check the requirement for spousal visa on their website, if its needed you will need it before moving
2.Easy as it gets, once you get an official letter from work or school. Many banks will open one for you. If you need one 2/3 days then open monzo, Revolut download the app and send the necessary I.D via the app
3. Apply as early as possible. Search for your county/city website, search for education section and put in an application
4. Yes, Yes and Yes...you can get a good place but you will need physical inspection and meet some conditions before getting any. Accommodation is proving to be very difficult recently for many new migrants.
Not a bad idea to get in, get accommodation then they join you after, dragging kids up and down airbnb, hotel shortlets can be difficult

Hello guys,
Please I am moving to the UK in few weeks/months. I have loads of questions on my head.
1. My wife will come along on spousal visa. Does she have to write IELTS before or after moving to work? She is considering the health care assistant jobs. Are there cheap schools she can attent to hone her skills along the job. We are settling in Nottingham from MAy.
2. HOw easy is it to open a bank account. Any advice? I need a valid bank account as early as 2/3 days after arrival.
3. How do i go about getting the kids settled in school. Are there government websites where one can apply? I am cosidering either to come in first and beging sorting the school and they join few weeks/months after.
4. Accomodation.....Can one search through internet and get a good place or its better to check into BnB first and complement the search with the physical inspection?
5. Anybody in the house who resides in Nottingham. University of Nottingham is my destination.

Hello bro,
I just got a job offer as a Teaching associate in a University. Its is an academic position with the Department.
Any advise for me on settlement, VISA etc.
I plan to come in by MAy. I got the offer 2days ago.
Thanks

It's changed now to the Global Talent Visa but still same old rules mostly. Difference is the addition of the UKRI fast track route for academics.

I recently got my endorsement under UKRI but chilling as I had earlier made a Tier 2 application. If them never answer me in the next couple of weeks I'll just put in my app as na 3 months the endorsement dey last.

For any academic coming in for postdoc positions like RA or RF and position is for 2 years at least, pls inquire about the following:
1. Is the project funded by any of the UKRI research councils - ESRC, EPSRC or ERC (Horizon 2020) etc (pls check for list of endorsed funders)
2. Is the grant sum at least £30k (haba how much them wan come pay you ni)
3. Is the duration of the funding at least 2 years.
4. Is your employer on the list of approved employers (not necessarily a university, it could be the catapult centres, Chatham House etc.)

If you tick all 4 boxes pls tell your employer say na Global Talent you wan do o. No go do Tier 2 o. That one get plenty wahala o as your employer na your master for the 5 years you need to get settled (and for some, they may not meet that salary threshold when they want to apply for settlement). You get to work for who you like and get settled in 3 years (including years spent on Tier 2) using the Global Talent visa and the endorsement stage is practically under 2 weeks. Got mine in 3 working days.

If you don't ask, you don't receive. Don't limit yourself.

Hello sir,
I am a prospective newbie to Nottingham and I really think you can avail me lots of helpful information ahead of my arrival in few weeks/months.
I want to be sure you are still active on this platform. Please do reply when you get this. Thanks

ronvlaar:
I actually didn't believe I could read the posts from page 0 to the last, big ups to everyone who has contributed.

I'm still a freshet here in d UK, came in bout 3weeks ago on a spousal visa. We're based in d Midlands (Nottingham).

Its been a really different experience which I'm enjoying.

I've done all d necessary things, only waiting to get my provisional DL. BRP, bank accounts, GP, NINo all sorted.

I've also been applying for jobs and luckily got one last week to resume July 2nd (though not the kind I really want but make man no just fold arms siddon for house), pay isn't too bad atleast for a newbie like me with no UK work experience and I'm not a professional. I have vast experience in sales, marketing and management (pharmaceuticals). Plan is to do it for few months while I take up some professional courses then switch to something bigger (God help me).

I dey follow this thread bumper to bumper sha.

Make una welcome me o

@EvergreenDairie
How are you. I presume your family is settled in UK now. Would you mind sharing your experince with getting a school for your kids.
I am planning a move to the UK with a 6 and 8 year old. I really wants to have idea of what steps to take before I arrivae and as soon as i arrive .
Thanks

Hello house please I need your advice.
I intend to apply for a skilled work visa to UK together with my family. I am applying from South Africa.
My wife's SA visa is due to expire in few days. Although we have applied for an extension of her SA visa, there has been delays. Will UK not deem her as living illegally in SA if by the time we submit UK visa, she doesn't have legal status in SA. We can provide explanation to say she had applied for the visa well over 3-4months ago. The children have valid visas.
I know you are deemed illegal in UK only when the outcome of your visa application comes out provided it was submitted before the previous visa expires.
I need insight into what I can do. I need to resume in about 2 months.

Hello,

If indeed the man died in the hotel and his body was found to have been buried secretly and exhumed by the police.
The hotel owner or his managers have a serious case to answer. All these spin doctors deserve to be amputated so their hands will cease to type rubish.
May I add, I don't like violence, but i am not sure that hotel deserve to remain standing.

If hurricane Ida magnitude of flood should hit Lagos, what will be the fate of Marina, Lekki and other places??

God bless you. Lets add that the poster should not start his family on conflict. Relocate and live far from them. Thats your best bet. IF she comes unannounced, please welcome her no matter displeasing it is.. MArriage is a union of 40 or more years, if God preserves both of you.

Ammishaddai:
Bros endure her visit for today. After that, try and relocate to place that's far. So even if she wants to visit, she will think twice or latest call to know if your home

The author wrote this based on the Nigerian factor...This steps would be so divergent if it were to be in more advanced nations.
For example, how do you place Journal Publishing, conference attendance etc at the lower rung of your list and premium things like "being within the University System"?
For your information, It is easier for a fresh PHD grad from another University to get recruited than for a non-academic person who pushes through a PhD within the department to switch roles. Research impact (mainly analysed from the Quality of journals, conference, grants won and patent records) and potential to diversify the Department's research profile is key to securing a lecturing/University academic position outside Nigeria.
This is the reason most best graduating students end up doing MSC and PhD within their department. The system is always afraid to hire "foreign brain" into their fold.
How many lecturers within a Department at UNN, for example, were hired after studying in places like OAU, UI, ABU or abroad, apart from those who secured TEFUND to do PhD abroad while being a staff? NIgeria is walking backwards as usual.

I can meet you at Amuwo Odofin. 45K, you gree?

While your argument may look valid, will you also consent that all Muslims schools should allow teachers and students from a non-Muslim background and be allowed to dress as much as their conviction and liberty allow? Even if it means they do different shades of hairstyle and dressing or is Rleigious freedom only for Muslims?

Tranquility4u:
I see no reason why Muslim students should be denied their constitutional rights.

Moreover, these schools are government schools (though bearing Christian names). All Muslim students, in particular, female students should be allowed to dress in Hijab since these schools are for the public.

Between me and you, I dont know who has simped more. But the beauty of it is that we have seen the light. Its never too late to be free.

lamidiinjury:
Thanks you

THis issue need to be clarified for real.
Yes, there was shooting. Wrong move.
But was there a mass killing as the media hyped it?
The evidences are still sketchy even almost 48 h after.
I fell for it, big time if it was a ruse.
I shed tears that night .

After all said and done.
It is now almost 48 hours after the "Lekki massacre", it's important to establish if the shootings actually resulted in massive deaths or not.
We need to establish if there was hysteria or our freelance journalists reported accurately.
This will help us in managing social media information, in future.
Pls who and who died as a result of Lekki shooting?

May the soul of the dead rest in peace.

It should be 30 calendar days. Check SQA page for FAQ.

fazbuk:
Please, I want to ask Like how many days will it take SAQA to release the certificate after they have have gotten the response from my institution?

PLs since VFS opened on August 7, has anybody been able to submit VISA application or the resumption is for collection?
My family intends to submit a VISA application on thrusday and I want to be sure they wont be travelling to lagos only to be told submission process has not commenced.

Please I want response on the use of this health supplement .
I don't want the "Can do everything" hyping and report of the marketers pls. Somebody is trying to get my mum to buy it and she needs my advise

Please whats the source of this info..I need it to share further..
I however know of the names mentioned below to be true and Christians.

Jeromejnr:
The Atheists are gonna hate and spew crap.

But they are ignoant of the fact that Modern science (which they worship) was founded by Christian's.

Galileo

Pascal

Kepler

Newton

Faraday

Clerk Maxwell

Boyle e.t.c


And also over 60% of Nobel laureates were Christian's.

P.S funny thing about this chart, is that Atheism was classified as a religion. And also, they had to be lumped together with other groups to even make a significant percentage.

Are you a PhD or MSC student? A lecturer or researcher in any of the Natural Science fields?
Do you need assistance with thesis writing, Journal article preparation plus language editing? Access to most of the big journal databases for current research information.
Do you need to run Turnitin plagiarism test on your work before submission? (Comes with full Plagiarism originality report)
I can provide any of these services and many more...
