Mikool101: Don't think transaction date is relevant because what if there no transaction for 30days....that would have still been ok What is relevant is when does on the top of the bank statement does it say the statement starts from and ends 2 Likes |

Pls does anyone have any experience cancelling application made within the UK? Apparently it's not as straightforward as outside UK application, and all the links directed has some conflicting information. |

Please be careful. I received same mail from this guy from Facebook market but he used another name. My brothers and sisters, I went to the house just to see before transactions. Behold, no building like that existing and there is a family of 4 in that particular address. The main owner lamented, he said the guy has scammed more than five persons Kemifaj:

kingvilleshines: No but if you tested positive in day2 PCR test then you will be asked to isolate. Do your pre-departure PCR test and book day2 pcr test to be taken when you arrived the UK, the PCR test kit will be delivered to the address you selected in the UK . |

This Lemonade Finance app is awesome. I wonder how they are able to achieve and sustain this excellent transfer rates. I have always used worldremit for years, but I decided to try this app today. Transfer was done in less than 30 minutes, exchange rate is 50% higher than worldremit. No fees as well. There has to be a catch somewehere, this is just too good to be true. Circa N720 odd exchange rate when all the market leaders are all offering circa N550 odd. 2 Likes |

claremont:Stopped using worldremit 2 or 3 years ago. Until the recent ban by the CBN, there were apps that you could use and get much better exchange rate than world remit. No catch, the street exchange rate is still higher than what they charge. |

I got my ILR. 10 year route 1 year - Student visa 5 years + tier 2 4 years Spousal/partner Hopefully I will get my passport in January. Then I can start applying for jobs abroad. I did not apply for my ILR on tier 2 because I was naive. I was at risk of redundancy with barely 2 months to my ILR and the company wouldn't give me a letter without stating that I was at risk. I didn't feel comfortable applying with that on the letter so I canceled my appointment and when I failed to get another sponsor and not enough time to find a decent job in Nigeria, I applied for a spousal visa which reset my timeline. In hindsight, I should have applied and I would have been granted it, saving me thousands of pounds in application fees and NHS surcharge. More painful is the fact that I had considered moving back home in the earlier years but got to the point where going back without at least ILR was not logical. Hopefully I find a good role back home or somewhere near ![]() 34 Likes |

5gee: Congratulations. The risks attached to Tier 2 visa has not been discussed on this forum. Hats off to those that are on this route. I know many people that were underpaid but just had to stick with it just because the company offered sponsorship. I remember a friend who was offered sponsorship by a tech company straight after university but less than a year later, he was asked to leave the company. He struggled to get another sponsor with the 90 days grace period and he had to return to Nigeria. The risk of redundancy, "offending" your bosses, not meeting productivity targets, misconduct, saying or doing something that's not politically correct, not scoring well during yearly appraisals. . . I can only imagine the prayers, constantly thinking about a plan B and uncertainty people on this route sometimes have to go through. . . . 6 Likes |

5gee: Congrats and glad you had a backup.... I don't know why companies can be so mean. There one guy I met, he was made redundant one month to iLR while on tier 2, he begged them to not even pay him and just be on the books since it was just one month and they said no. It was very painful. The wife was a housewife and no backup to even quickly do student visa...he had to go back and back in naija no real job. So I am really happy to see you got to the finish line, even though I don't know you lol... 13 Likes |

LagosismyHome: Honestly, hats off to those on that route. Imagine being at the mercy of your bosses and HR who know very well that you are in the country just because they agreed to offer sponsorship ![]() |

Ralphlauren: Wetin person go do.... sadly baba Buhari and others have helped ruined the country .... Even I was made redundant during the earlier days, 2 months to ILR but thankfully it was HSMP and it didn't matter much as long as someone had the earnings I thought with brexit they would bring back a visa that doesn't tie you down to an employer like hsmp, but I guess we all still dey wait 3 Likes |

Ralphlauren: Hmmm. Is there a restriction on switching jobs if your potential employer is happy to sponsor? What route is advisable? |
