Hello Everyone!

Does anyone know any letting agent that has a room ensuite or anyone that has a room to let in a 2-3 bed apartment in Manchester(M10-M20) ?

Kindly link me up. I need it urgently.

Thank you🙏

Thank you for your honest reply.

Thank you to every other person that have replied me.
My case is actually similar to that colleague of yours, as I have only been in the UK for less than a month. However, my salary is a lot lower than his smiley
I thought I was going insane when I was trying to explain to folks why I have to go for this IT engineering job as against the Health care assistant.

I know it can only get better once I start this IT engineering role, as my UK job experience will begin to count, and I can easily switch to another company if the IT company won't increase my salary/offer COS after the 6 months probation
hustla:



Please go for the IT Engineering one and avoid those ones saying health care assistant now and later in life. A lot of people in the UK are dabimoseda FC and they have the capacity to twist your orientation to match theirs. I have heard people saying "Oyinbo no dey give Nigerians jobs apart from care worker" and you wonder where they get that mentality from when a colleague who came into the UK less than 1 month ago has already gotten a Senior DevOps role that pays £85K.

People often can not see beyond their noses and came into the UK with very little plans to rise beyond where they are and you need to be careful how you interact with them.

If the company is on the sponsorship list, you can ask for sponsorship after probation has been passed. Even better as you have prior experience in Nigeria and tech in Nigeria is the same as tech in Afghanistan grin

All the best

Hello Everyone!!

I urgently need your advice.

I'm currently in the UK on a dependant visa(tier 4), as my spouse is currently studying in the UK also.

I recently got two different job offers.

1) IT engineering job

2) Health care assistant job.

Please which one should I choose?

PS: I have got like 5 yrs experience in the IT field from Nigeria. But folks are saying I should go for the health care assistant job cuz of higher possibility of sponsorship from the health care assistant job.

Although the IT company didn't say anything about sponsorship. But upon researching on the gov.uk site, I found out that they are actually on the list of skill worker(A rating) sponsors.

Hello everyone, I thought to update you.
I haven't received a response from the Home Office concerning my decision or the complaints department since I submitted my complaint,
so I sent a mail to the UKVI contact center on Monday to inquire if a decision had been made, but I was told my application was still being considered.
Yesterday I received another email stating my case has been re-escalated and the Sheffield team reached out to me today to inform me my application is being worked on and a decision will be made as soon as possible.

I don't even know what to think or how to feel. It seems so long ago since I submitted my application with such excitement for my intended study in the United Kingdom. I even made a vision board of all my future plans with a detailed description of internships I would do, what I would wear to my graduation ceremony as a graduate with distinction, my dream job and salary, the company I would work for, places I would visit etc. Now I look at it every day and feel my dreams slipping away...

It is heartbreaking!
Sincerely, I feel your pain. I can relate to how you feel. Give them more time. Don't mail or call them till like a weeks time in order not to look too desperate. Please don't stop praying too. Your miracle is around the corner!

Who no go, no fit know! Only one who has gone through the different phases of this migration thing will be able to relate.

Please how did you go about the paid call? My application has been on DMC for almost 3 weeks now. Although I got an NSF mail like the 4th day after I did biometrics saying that they didn't see my TB certificate(this was even shocking to me, cuz it was part of the documents I took to the TLSCONTACT to be scanned for assisted service on bio day), and I should mail it to the Sheffield student email address, which I did the same day I got the mail.

My questions are

1) Do you work at the branch office?
2) Did you get the approval of your line manager/superior before using the reference letter from the branch office?

If both answers are Yes, I don't think you should be blamed here. The branch office is an extension of the HQ.

You can also go to your HQ and plead with them, but if they refuse to listen to your plea, just hope the ECO won't use that against. Cuz you can actually still be given a visa even without them replying. Its not all organizations that even reply UKVI to even start with.

Of I may ask, how did you hear about UKVI wanting a reply from your organisation? Was it your HQ HR that informed you?
dave0450:
I use my company letterhead as reference for uk student visa application. UKVI now send mail to them but they are refusing to reply the mail saying I didn't follow due process by informing the headquarter office before using the company letterhead for such things. Which I did not know because it was the branch office I use the letterhead from and I was thinking that they ukvi will contact the branch office bcoz the official email of the branch is on the letterhead. I have plead with the headquarter office but they are adamant that they will not reply the mail even to the extent that they want to sanction me. Please what can I do in this situation? I have spend a lot to get to this stage

Sakol4life:
Hi duchess and every other gurus in the house, I need a quick clarification please!!!

I got an advise from someone that what ever document my wife will be using should carry the same address as mine….


Therefore my spouse and I , did our TB test on the 11th of May claiming my home address for both of us.

On the 8th of June, we did our wedding but different address was written on our marriage certificate

I and my dependent have not been living together as at the time we went for our TB and we used my address for both of us.

but we got married in june with different addresses on our marriage certificate.

Please do I need to go and correct the wedding certificate to the same address or I should leave it the way it is?

Your opinion will highly be appreciated.

I think it's best you leave the addresses as they are. Just my two cents though ✌
Besides, females don't move to their husbands house before marriage in Africa. They only do so on the day of the marriage. So if peradventure you were asked or you may want to add a cover letter explaining the contradictory home addresses on the marriage cert & TB cert. Let them know you applied to get married @ the registry like weeks/months before the June 8th day you chose, and it was only normal you chose your spouses parent's address as at that time. Hence the reason why the marriage cert didn't carry same address as yours.

Locate any NIN agent in your place (maybe go to where one can register sim card and they can direct you) or visit the NIN office (NIN office is located in local government office here in my town) I hope this help you.





Is it compulsory for both husband and wife to update their house address to same address on their NIN?

Then again, is it part of the visa requirement for a dependent to show an official document that he/she lives at the same address with the spouse?
If yes, which other document can be used apart from NIN?

Since the volatile increase in rate to N838 to £1.

hotdi:


It is called single window Forex.
CBN will no longer fix official price for exchange rate anymore, but let the demand and supply forces of the market determine the rate.
Single in the sense that they wouldn't be official price on one side, and parallel market on the other side.
In this case, the CBN ceases to be the only supply of e.g. Dollar into the market. Also, CBN becomes a participant in the market
instead of playing the boss. Its influence becomes minimal base only on regulatory roles.

Are u satisfied?

What all the depositing banks are basically doing is to mop up old notes without reciprocating with new notes. Which economy works on such model?

This is a very simple issue... I have been saying this for some days now. CBN or commerical banks weren't in the suit. So, nothing concern CBN who is a separate entity by Law. They've made a deadline. Even Supreme Court can't stop them. If you like yourself don't go and deposit your money in the bank. As it stands now, the deadline is today

FG can honor the suit while CBN carries out their own duties

CBN might suspend this deadline only out of good will. The Federal High Court has dealt with this matter before, except the judgement is been challenged by the governors

So, there's no confusion here. CBN deadline still stands, otherwise, communication will be made by the CBN

To be honest, the guy spends recklessly. He should move to a cheaper accommodation, and cut some costs. If care is not taken, even when he earns 1m, he no go still see anything save. Make him forget big boy forming O. If dem sack am for that job now, he go be like say the whole world is crashing on him, cuz there is no way he will be able to cope. The best thing is to invest. Cuz saving itself is useless with the rubbish currency called Naira
chatinent:


He lives a pennywise-man-foolish lifestyle. How can you be paying rents almost thrice your monthly net income?

Just look at the whole expenses listed there!

If I were earning ₦400k, I'd relocate to a flat where I can pay at maximum, ₦250k yearly (and that's because I want to have a family). A two bedroom flat is okay for a start.

I'd use my first monthly to pay it off, doing a little refurbishment too. I like to buy foodstuff in bulk so I am definitely going to spend up to ₦80k for it. If I don't have a freezer, I wouldn't bother buying goods that are too perishable. I would save for a freezer and a generator together.

I have to buy the major things so as to enable me begin to save. Sorry I didn't tell you, I don't save. I actually invest. I'd start up sth else with the saving..rather than leaving it lying adamant.

It's not a must to live a big boy life!

Look at the figures he uses to flex. To spend on top drink and woman!

So e no fit wash cloth or save up for a washing machine and drier?

Data for ₦10k? E should kuku send a CV to PornHub. Abi free WiFi no dey workplace?

Recharge card for ₦15k? Sure this uncle want to live long in this life? Even Elon Musk doesn't recharge ₦15k.

Cleaner ₦5k? En hand dey pain am? Why can't he marry and send this to his wife instead?


In fact, let me stop analysing. How old is his stupidity if I may ask?

Tell him to use the savings of ₦7800 to buy GO90 and Snipper and drink! He doesn't deserve to waste the oxygen others need. Better still, make una call Cele people to flog out the Aso-Rock demon in him.

It's nice to cloth your clothes according to your cloth size.
