Thanks for this. Insightful. Hopefully, more people get onboard VSCode especially those starting out learning and can't afford full suite IDEs
Keep going at it.
Quick one, I thought indenting was there before now. Probably, it's the way I've configured.
As for pip I'll have to check again when I get to my system. I've got packages/libraries installed and import. Probably, I've got a setup out of the norm.

Education / Re: FUTMINNA Lecturer Give Empty Hall A Test As He Resumes 2023 To An Empty Class by semmyk(m): 8:23am On Jan 06, 2023
In saner climes, they do Pop quiz, lots of tests that gets aggregated.
Inbtw, you have formative and summative assessments!
Also, some tests count as class audit!
Nonetheless, the OP post appears fake or uneconomical with the truth. Yet, might be real though!

You may follow the link and read on the YouKay gov site. Just for noting, not all schools requires QTS! However, QTS makes lotta difference!
For Ireland, you may get better response on the Irish visa thread (see within Travel section)

... How easy can an internal auditor get a job in UK especially around Leeds and Bradford? I will appreciate any response
Quick one to ponder on.
- How many audit cycle have you done
- What's your involvement in the audit
- which side of the audit are you: account, ITGC ...
- subject to your involvement, role, what audit tools do you use, and
- are you by chance integral part of the planning (scoping, what can go wrong analysis) and report (collation, analysis, mgt comments)

Above might assist you in repositioning your CV and mapping your cover notes/letters based on the job specs.
Inbtw, there're some standard steps/processes in audit across countries and continents.

In credit application, inclusive of mortgage (bond as it's called in some countries), you have
- credit worthiness (where your credit score weighs heavily); and
- affordability (where your monthly financial commitments are scrutinized)
The degree of impact each plays varies from lender to lender; more especially where it is automated with algorithm or AI/ML
One quick thing on affordability is that if two applicants have the same credit score, and perhaps similar environmental (living) conditions, you may find that the one with £4000 income might be approved over that of £5000 or even £6000. Why, the 5k and 6k might have less (monthly) financial commitments.
Lexusgs430:
The impact the loan would have is, all your current credit commitments, would be considered, when affordability is been calculated.........

I am really interested in reading tips and experiences from black African parents who have been in the UK for ages in tackling the issue. Two solutions I have thought are sending them to schools owned by conservative churches, sending them to Nigeria so that they know the conditions at home, the stakes at hand and the reasons mummy and daddy had to relocate.

Based on the limited info you provided, what I can say is work persistently towards your CEng. You'll need your engineering body to register. ECUK, the regulatory body, doesn't allow #direct registration as CEng or IEng or EngTech or ICTTech. You must go through your engrg institution. For me it's IET: should be same for you.
PS, though I maintain CEng, I currently do not practice as an engr.
Question is; what side of electrical enrg do you tilt. What's your background; broadly speaking.
Do you do PLC related, or power or good ol electrical wiring?

With that said, being chartered isn't the all in all: might come in handy as you move to certain roles.
What I can say is ensure you work on ('referencable') projects, try ramping up on CPE/CPD and be visible in your engineering institution in so far you can.
I trust the Elders will chip in and advice you accordingly.

NB: this is just a pointer to how you might want to showcase what it is you've done in O&G and tie it into articulating impact: how you improve, what value you brought, what ideas you conceptualised that took your unit forward ...

There was robust discussion on NRPF around housing sometimes back in 3rd week of July (page +/-529). I posted a collation around mid Nov (although with focus on FE and bootcamps).
There's a body/network, NGO I think, focused on NRPF: search for them. [Update: they are nrpfnetwork.org.uk]

Your clarity is loud and clear.
So essentially, you've moved in already. Your contract started ticking, (Lexusgs430 assumed correctly).
Your clarity also shows that you're on a 9 mths contract (Oct to Jun) and you have two more quarterly rental payments to make: 05 Jan and 05 Apr.
Your rental agreement doesn't look like the norm. However, it is what it is. It's the subsisting contract. It has to be honoured. With that said, pay attention to Onecoder valuable suggestion: cordial, frank engagement with the landlord. Be factual yet 'firm'. Lexusgs430 suggestion remains valid.
LaXxOnebody was not way off either. With the clarity you've provided, you have to engage the landlord to reason and effect changes.
Whatever you do or the out outcome is or is not, one thing that must happen by 04 Jan is that you must ensure £700 is paid for the rent. You'll take each month as it comes, dealing with all the issues that might crops up.
Regarding you ensuring you at least paid the one month for Jan and monthly subsequently, kindly guard against using the phrase, unilateral change, whether by you or the agent/landlord. Just use the term, circumstances or any similar. All the best.
@Ticha, any suggestion from rental law point of view on effecting monthly payment in good faith? This seems one of your strong areas.

Just like Bigtt76 indicated, it appears OP was not well articulated with the post.
What I gather though is that
- Husband got Student visa (former Tier 4)
- Family came to the UK
- Wife got sponsored work. Moved to skilled worker (former Tier 2)
- husby remained on student visa (for reasons best known to them)
- children successfully applied for dependent skilled worker visa
- Home 9ff8ce with their 'evasive' data science big data picked dual visa for parents (one skilled worker, the other student visa). Home office apply the rule. Children have dependent based on least visa stay
OP wants to know what's up and can gan!

I concur with Bigtt76.
What should happen. Family should have moved to skilled worker (husbot (as Ticha would say) and children become dependent). We've discussed on this thread switching student to skilled worker visa; the impact et al. See for instance (my previous attempt at part collation)
semmyk:
.... Switch from student to workers ... ...
semmyk:
... ... Simple response: dependent have right to work. ...
Inbtw, ILR starts to count for all.
Way forward:
Husband and children apply for dependent (skilled worker) visa.
PS: recently, last week I think, we discussed on this thread that a proper application will keep the current visa stay legal, until Home office reach a decision.
Advice herein are not binding advisory as contemplated in law
bigtt76:
Not well articulated but what I gathered is that the man applied later instead of with the wife for tier 2 before the children.
Ideally the children's stay are determined by both parents and not one. Because they all got to the UK on a student visa with their mom and them being dependents on same visa, they needed their father to have been on the tier 2 before the children.
Try and reapply if possible
Pogracious:
... advise for a pal of mine who has this scenario
He came in on student visa with his wife and children. Along the line the wife got a sponsored job but because he still has more than six month on student visa,they decided children and wife move to tier2.tier2 approval according to him took months to arrive and as he was preparing to apply on the tier2 dependant they got a mail from home office that the children-dependant visa has been shortened to the parent with the shortest stay and a new brp issued to them.In a Cross road now what can he do even though he has the PSW option or can he reapply the tier 2 for all dependant again using the same cos the wife is presently on?

It seems others are asking: a thread created - https://www.nairaland.com/7080230/how-apply-renew-nigerian-passport#118848406
You might want to ask there as well.
I suppose passport should be ready within a month. They should give an indication on confirmation slip when you go in for biometric? However, things at that high commission (indeed almost all other 9ja high commission globally) changes so often like Dublin or Cape Town weather.
Unfortunately, calling them is almost a waste of valuable time!
Someone mentioned on this thread about collection earlier. I'll try look for it if I can.

Ok, so can you get it within a day. It's possible!!! I won't advocate that route neither do I have a plug!
Regarding travel, Justwise indicated earlier with expired 9ja passport and valid UK permit, you might be good to go: as in 9ja trip to & fro. If there are stop overs or if the trip is not UK-9ja-UK

mex551:
Please I will be travelling out of the uk by march ending. I just realised that my passport will expire before then. I have applied for renewal and my biometrics date in London is End of January.
Is it possible for the passport to be out within a month? Is there a way to hasten the processing at the Nigeria house? As per Naija style. Pls tips will be appreciated.

I understand your enquiry is about collection. Here's an earlier collation on 9ja passport in the UK -

The students thread might be your bet bet - https://www.nairaland.com/7267459/uk-student-visa-tier-4/479#118300195

Hello, my sister's husband is applying to join his wife who is already in the UK on a student visa, meanwhile their son is also a student in the UK but in a different city.

When asked if he has another relative apart from his wife, he added their son. Now the application is requesting him to choose where he is going to stay, he chose his wife's address and now it's asking for date of arrival and date of leaving.

Note, he chose temporary visa when asked their type of visa. Please what type of visa is student visa?

Please is it safe to put date of leaving as he doesn't intend leaving soon.

In-between, DesireFarms is right. #WrongVisa
DesireFarms:
He chose the wrong visa category. If he’s going as a dependant to his wife. He will need to choose the option of student Dependent PBS , I think.
