Okay, thanks guys.
I think a hotel will be the best option

worry 359:
Female (Sister) staying in single room with man could be big wahalla!!!
You should book hotel room for your stay.
It could be refusal and waste of money!

Really?? Not even ur own brother. Same surname oh. Abi do I have to provide my birth certificate to prove it kwanu. My problem is the idea of two Pple in one room, Weda males or females

Hi guys,

I will be going for my graduation, so I will just b staying in the Uk for one week. I have put my brothers accomodation which is a school accomodation and it is just a room. From the address it is obvious that it is a one room school accomodation. Will they see this as a problem

Yeepy!!!! I got my PER just now

Thanks @Solomonwis, Bwave

Hi Guys,

Please how long does a general visa take if you are applying from lagos? Or is it better to apply from Abuja

Thanks

Vicjustice:
1) Definitely YES, you have not earned paid-holiday period, besides, you need to be at least one year in your employment in order to have the full rights to labour law protection.
2) No, that's not a problem except your visa carries a Duration Of Stay remark, and you exceeded the duration of stay.
3) They will use the NI number to investigate you and to do background check on you.
It is only for formality and for credibility purpose that they require you to enter your NI number because, in actual sense, they can fetch that out by your names or/and your date of birth.
It could be a problem if they found out that you breached the conditions of your student visa unless the breaches are pardonably minimal

Okay, thanks very much.
That was very helpful.

Hi guys, need some advice.
I finished my masters in Feb, got back in June about 2 days b4 my visa expired cuz the hospital I wz working for needed cover and jst wouldn't let me go.
Now I want to apply for a general visa to go for my graduation which comes up in november. My questions are:

1. I jst started working here in naija last month would dat be a problem cuz dey have asked for an extensive history of employment
2. The fact that I left jst 2 days b4 my visa expired, would dat affect my application?
3. They have asked for National insurance number, what do they need that for cuz I remembered working a little above 20hrs in some weeks while studying. Can dey decode dat with my NI number?

I just think it's beta not to apply at all than to apply and be refused a visa that is why I want to be sure before applying because I'm expecting a COS soon from my previous employer so I don't want any bad records.

solomonwis:

You get your CC/DD charged at the point when you receive your PER. Hope you'd share the goodnews when you receive the PER in the coming weeks.

Definitely, I would
Thanks for ur help

Bwave:
CIC is handling apps received first week of July within this period, so expect to hear from them soon.BTW is your payment confirmed?if yes, then you can rest assured of your PER.

Thanks guys for ur response.
You know that is part of the reason I am worried. My credit card has not been charged yet and I haven't gotten any message from them either.

Hi all, I'm just a bit worried.
I made my application on the 5th of July and I haven't gotten any response yet, not even a msg dat my application has been received.
Is this normal, does it really take this long?
The visa office stated on my application is London.
And I know my occupation has not been filled yet because it is category 3215
I'm jst confused
