MrMash:
Please is there a way to track visa application made within the UK?

Has anyone applied for a dependent visa in UK recently, how long did it take ?

Thanks

Mine took 20 days. I received the email on day 20. The mail stated that my brp would be delivered within 7 days. But the brp came 2 days after I got the 'successful' email.

You can call the Home Office though. But they wouldn't do much. Will only ask that you wait it out. If it's a Health and Care Worker Visa, it will take 3 weeks max. If it's a skilled worker visa it might take more than 3 weeks.

Don't worry, it will come.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Oh it’s great that’s he’s a union member.

He should approach them and have them advise. A lot will boil down to what is in his employment contract so hopefully the union can get a lawyer to review it and provide guidance.

Thank you for your response. So theres nothing we can do in the meantime? He has joined the Union. They sometimes threaten their staff. I just wonder if its normal. The company is founded by a Zimbabwean. Its really affecting our home at the moment.

Start urgently looking for a new sponsorship role.

Good morning great minds,

Please I need help on a situation. My hubby works in care at the moment on a tier 2 worker visa. It's supposed to be supported living. And he was employed as a positive behavioural specialist. He has trainings and skills till level 3 on this.

He takes the train to this new job and we were just trying to manage and bear the cost for transportation pending when we move to the new place. But prices of housing there is so much on the high side. He was going to work about 4 days in a week initially. I was able to do some shifts on the side with that arrangement but as soon as he was given the cos and he was successful they syarted acting up. He doesn't have a permanent shift. And I can't even work as the shifts are nights and days sometimes.. Recently, they changed his rota and started giving him shifts like 1.5hrs per day. It's so wild that he has to go to this job just for 1.5hr and spend about 20pounds on transportation and then go back the next day for 1.5hrs again! We have kids and it's affecting us financially. We were enduring this becauseof the sponsorship. Now he just feels trapped.

He has emailed the office but they havent acted or responded to his email.
Its beginning to affect us. We don't know how to tackle this as we are barely 2 years here. Please anyone who can help as to what to do about this.

Thank you.

Awww....I just wanna hug you and tell you it will be alright..

Being 'alone' is not easy... Indeed we all need someone special to do life with. .Don't worry, God will give you the right woman just as your heart desires...she will even born ejima for you

Wish you good success in your search.

Hello everyone!

Thanks for all the contributions to this page which I have benefitted from a lot.

My own problem here is that I need a wife!

Yeah I'm not ashamed to ask. I have tried and maybe I haven't been lucky

I will be 39 by October. I'm 6'1, from Imo state and work with the NHS.

I don't know what handsome means to you. I might be your definition of handsome but if I'm not, trust me, I'm not bad looking.

I will prefer someone already in England. Not ruling out someone in Nigeria if it's by recommendation.

I'm looking for a good soul who knows what she wants in life and reciprocates efforts. I love a good looking lady, who smells nice, good communicator, kind and empathetic between 26-34 years of age. I will do all these as well.

I prefer from the south east, south south, some parts of the North(as long as you are a Christian).

I am Catholic (Christian) and I try as much as possible to be the best person I can. We can start from friendship/relationship and work towards settling soon.

Pls if you are or can recommend someone, pls help a brother out. Almost all the Nigerian ladies around me here are all married

I can be reached via this email: glucocareng@gmail.com

Thank you so much for this.

If the form would let you pass that section, you can apply as long as inside the UK. Put your explanation at the and of the form and attach all documents to prove you have applied for the passport. Then continue with your application.
You do not need passport as long as you are inside the UK. Most times you will end up using the Home office app if you are inside the UK

Thank you so much. I appreciate your input.[quote author=Ugochinyere1 post=125724479][/quote]

Okay then. thank you.

Lexusgs430:


Unfortunately, you old passport is no longer a valid document (hence cannot be used to apply)......

Your best bet is to push NHC ........ Hopefully, you receive it in good time .......

Hello everyone, I need your thoughts on this please. my visa expires in few weeks. I want to switch to a skilled worker visa as a dependant.

Can I apply without my passport as the old one has expired though I have gone for the renewal but yet to get it.

Can I apply with the old passport I have now?If its not possible to apply that way can anyone help with a reliable number to contact at the Nigeria High Commission in London?

glauri222:
You don’t even need your passport to apply. Your BRP is all you need, u ain’t even going for biometrics

Hello Bro. Please I just wanted to be sure you know someone who did this and got their visa approved.

Simply put your rent & bills, in both names ......

Then register with relevant credit building agencies.......

Thank you so much.

Estroller:


You can open a joint account, you both pay your share into the account and pay your bills from the joint account.

Thank you so much for the clarification.

koonbey:


For council tax, definitely, one person pays, ideally by direct debit from an account. You can pay by card and so pay separately (one person pays part and the other pays the rest) but there's absolutely no point to that as council tax doesn't affect credit score unless you default and they pursue you in court.

Regarding rent, I guess it's possible to transfer separately but I haven't ever heard of a married couple doing that. Again, rent does not contribute to your credit score, and you don't have to bother yourself with all those services you mentioned. Get on the electoral roll,eEarn and spend normally, and get a credit card each that you'll use wisely, and your credit score will grow naturally over time. Time itself is a big component and you can't rush it.

The credit score you see on those websites are immaterial when you are applying for things. Don't let that be your preoccupation.

Hi everyone.
I have a few questions please.

How do we pay house rent as a couple in order for it to reflect on our credit score? Do we split it in half and pay our halves to the agent individually or one person makes the total transfer?

How do we make it reflect on a rental exchange partner like Canopy or Credit Ladder?

Also on Council Tax, We both have a total of 174 to pay how do we pay it? One person transfers or we split it and each of us make the payment to the council account individually?

Please help me out on these questions. Thank you

This is for everyone of you trying to get a group. There’s a telegram group for UON as well as those awaiting visa..

Gloriyah:


I think people just feel your message is to discourage them me I understand your message ,the Uk is not bread and butter the struggle there is real but I think people are okay with the fact that the system is somehow favorable and your replies are kinda rude.

Congratulations!

I'm very happy for you.

I claim this same success story for my family and I in Jesus' name.

Cheers to the family.

Congrats in advance to all

Use Oanda to check today’s rate and then add a little extra.

splendorian:

Can someone please help me out with this?

You like Malt and milk sha
You’re doing a good job here. Thank you.

DuBooVay:
T for tenks. Send me funds make I take buy malt and milk

As it should really. But once the transaction starts running to a week or more, then one should do something.

A slight delay can make a person loose their admission..

bomsilaga:


I initiated same process and it took just 2days before I was debited and disbursed next day.

Lucky you!

bomsilaga:

UBA

Which bank?

Please go to your bank. You probably have filled in a conflicting information as against what they have in your records.

Go to your bank. let them check the update and review it if there's a need for you to cancel everything and re-apply. I'd suggest you reapply though becaue it can stay that way for weeks if you are not proactive about it. Tradesystem doesn't joke with wrong documentation.

All the best.

Donkcbrown28:
Good day everyone, please I need your urgent help as it is now I am just worried about this Tradesystem which is A Form, I filled it the first time last month February 17 and submit but after some days I find out that I made mistake and the signal was very bad, than on the 24 of that same month I replied and tried not to make mistake than after 2 weeks and some day I check the history in the status I saw WRONG DOCUMENTATION and recommended for REJECTION, what can I do as time is not on my side my course we be starting by April 25 I don’t know if there is still time

Customer care line? Ahaha! If you love your self, don’t just wait for them to email you oo.. UBA will do you dirty if you don’t go there.

My advise, go to their branch first thing in the morning and sit down there!!! Tell them your school has given you a deadline for that day! Worry, act agitated, do what you have to do to get them to escalate the whole issue oo.. hmmm I know what I’m saying. Otherwise they’d keep telling you it’s on a friggin queue!.. Don’t let them mess you up.

Kilom41:
I made my form A payment with UBA since 9th of march, still no approval.
I have called customer care tire, it's the same excuse "the list is long".

What can i do at this point to facilitate the process?

I'm tired

Yeah...checked their website out. Thanks for your concern.

[quote author=SerendipityHere post=111041944] Just surprised! Didn’t expect the mail honestly.

There’s Ulster though but...I don’t like the course. quote author=[leogho post=111036038]My bro,

I don't know how I will be able to eat now o. I cancelled my form A shortly after receiving the mail this morning. So, so, heart broken... I have also written to them to defer to September while considering if I will go to Teesside.


Do you have another May/June offer? You might start considering such likewise.

@Elolam87, you tried emailing me? What’s up? Pls direct all questions or information here. Quote me. Thanks.

Okay noted. I have emailed them. I’m awaiting a reply. Thank you.

kennykale:


Do not make the payment unless the school asks you to. Contact the school and inquire wether you can go ahead with the payment or ask for exemption. But do not make the payment until the school says so
