Is there an advantage to paying rent early?

It prevents you from using the money to shalaye and Jaye Jaye.

LL doesn't care when rent is paid as long as it's paid when due

missjekyll:


Decidedly odd. Definitely an illegal structure. Indian landlords, perhaps?

I saw it on zoopola

dupyshoo:
Yes, you can sponsor your mum to come visiting.

Children born by non citizen don't have to wait for 7 years before they can get citizenship. Once one of the parents get ILR, the child can either get ILR too, if born outside UK or register as British citizen, if the child was born in the UK.

7 year rule apply to children whose parents do not have legal stay in the UK.

This is what l know, but am surprised aunty lagosismyhome is saying otherwise...10 years now?

Hi everyone! I don’t know if this has been discussed earlier here, because it’s been a while I came in here. I have a very big issue with mold in my house. Been cleaning and cleaning but it keeps coming back darker, bigger and scarier. I had to complain to the leasing agent and the landlord’s contact was sent to me. He handles all the repairs in his house.
This man keeps saying I should clean and open the windows but this isn’t working. I keep opening the windows despite this extremely cold weather but the molds keep getting bigger. My kitchen entirely turned black and I have to scrub the Walls every 2 weeks.
I signed a one year contract and I’ve just spent 4 months. In fact getting a house in Wales, Swansea to be precise is like hitting a million pounds jackpot so moving out is not even an option now.
Kindly advise on how to deal with the molds of you have ever being in my shoes .
I’m so particular about it because I have 2 children ages 2 and 4 and I heard inhaling it over time could cause respiratory issues especially in children and elderly.
I’m so sorry for my long post. Good evening!

That place is not safe for kids at all. It could give them long term health problem. Their lungs are not fully mature. Pls vacate the place as soon as u can cos of your kids.

We many when they find this ...lol. sadly it been turned to serious black market runs. So many of the private sponsors are quietly asking for money. Big money self ... when really there a shortage of labour and should be the one begging you to work. Ms Patel biko sort it

Abeg when you see let me know . I am looking for, my village is plenty

This has always been the case.
Sometimes they bring people in and dont pay them the official salary minimum they're supposed to pay (I hear some ask you to kick back a certain amount every month, etc.) and those ones can't leave because they need their papers.

rollykotex:

Yes I have a dryer.

Remember dryers use a lot of leccy.
Make sure you use only with full loads.

You can get portable DHDs (dehumidifiers) for about 40 quid for a 500 ml version. Pro Breeze is a good model.
One is OK for each UK-standard-sized room.

The waka and not getting paid for it. You leave house for 14hrs get paid for 10hrs and not like the hourly rate is good. A lot do not have this information but it could still be a better opportunity for people coming in directly from Nigeria.

Exactly.
However, last year, the unions won a court case, so now all domiciliary care employees are entitled to claim travel time as paid time, so anyone wanting to enter or who's already in that field should know that they have this right.

Hello,

I’m trying to rent a house in Birmingham, 1 bedroom flat or studio apartment. Rightmove and others have not been helpful. Can anyone help or direct me to how they got theirs. I’m tired of staying in an air bnb

Captaincool1:
Please how does one get a Netherlands visa from the UK using a Nigerian passport. Am going there as a tourist. I work in the UK.

Others have mentioned travel insurance .
It's separate from the 30,000 euro cover Schengen travel insurance that most Schengen countries specifically require from visa applicants which you have to submit at the time of making the visa application, so look into that.

Secondly, you can get a GHIC which is basically a card which allows you to use your NHS cover in EU countries to a certain extent, i.e. a UK resident travelling in the EU does not have to pay for any emergency medical treatment in EU countries which is ordinarily free at the point of use for their own residents.

Which bank please? Cause binance is not accepting Monzo MC.

I used my Revolut and transferwise and it worked. I also used my Lloyds too.

Sorry yes I needed to clarify

Offcourse children who are on their parents visa ie dependent will follow the path of their parents. So if a parent is on tier 4 to psw to tier 2, the child as their dependents will follow and would only get citizenship when the parents become settled (ILR). If the parent is straight from Tier 2 to ILR 5 years later the child too will follow that path. Same with all the dependent of the main applicant

However if the parents settlement is taking long for whatever reason, when the child is 10. A British born and lived child can apply for settlement.

The 7 years I talked about. It used to be 7 years hence the name is still quoted but it been changed to 10 years for some years now

omopapa:
You want to get NVQ level 3 in health and social care. Get a license if you don’t already have one

Thanks, will research that a bit.

Hi nairalanders, I've been reading about switching from student visa to skilled worker visa. I got NHS offer (band 6) as a psychotherapist.

I am September term and they're still doing some background checks so it's may take 4-6 weeks before I receive an unconditional offer.

I'm looking to switch even though I'm yet to ask for COS. I'm waiting to receive an unconditional offer before asking.

Good on you. Switch if you can. If your studies don't interfere with work too much, you can complete it on the side...otherwise, defer or abort

Hi everyone, please could anyone with dependant who have applied for the graduate visa help me with this? If applying with your dependant, how is the IHS Calculated? Since you don’t have a new visa expiry date? What I mean is, my partner isn’t getting the correct IHS fee, for example my own visa is expiring beginning of feb and once he input in that date on his application, the IHS fee calculated for him was £312.
How can this be solved?
Thanks

Peerielass:


You need to tackle the source of mold. In the meantime, buy a dehumidifier to take out the excess moisture in your house. Brand new ones are about £200 or you could pick up a fairly used one from Facebook.

Instead of buying, you can hire one.

Viruses:

Thank you very much, this is an eye opener. My apartment has dehumidifier but I didn't know the value. I remember my landlord telling me when I came to put it on when I wash clothes I just said ok. After reading this post, I read the manual and put it on, you need to see the quantity of water it has collected in my enclosed room. Many part of my walls that were wet are now dry.

Humidity level was 90% when I put it on, it is now 68% at the time of this typing. 40% is my target.

Knowledge is power. I hope your problem will be sorted out soon. It’s really good to talk.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for all the information dropped so far

Please what happens if you get a your visa a week after your IOM expires? Do you need to get a new IOM again?

Case in point, IOM was done for school travel, things came up and you had to delay processing the visa and applied for another type of visa. Now you have that work visa and the IOM that was done earlier just expired.

What do you do? Do you start IOM again?

Also, what’s the first thing to do when you land in thr UK

I left if working overnight, you need to see the water collected this morning. The humidity is now reading 51. My target was 40 but I've taken it to another room for now. Make e dey drink water there small small

Pay the amount it shows you and proceed.
You'll be contacted later to pay the balance.
