You just state you current accomodation, a lot of people used school as accomodation but ended up making alternative arrangement. So no worries

Good day everyone. I want to find out about Carlisle.
What's the cost of living like? How much does it cost to rent a 3 bedroom?
Is there a black community there? How about African shop?
When coming from Nigeria, which of the airport would you suggest that we land?
how is their schools? I'm coming 3kids, Age 3-8.

The underlined changes your dynamics in the ordinary sense of it. (Well, based on what you narrated)
Seemly, you're no longer dealing with #relocation, rather, you're faced with #redundancy.
The operative word is no longer 'discussing', but 'consulting' #beware
Let your spouse work with a labour lawyer or a unionist.

In-btw, I left some pointers for you earlier

Thank you boss.

Your explanation made the whole thing easier for us and has helped us in following them constructively.

Can i DM you Please?.

Credit scoring hates swaps and changes, it could seem like a pre-maradona move ......... cheesy

But if you have to, you have to ......... Take the initial hit, which would recover over time ...........


What if I change address and I don't update it on my file?

Any issues with that?

For proficiency, u don’t need to upload any evidence. It has been demonstrated when the school gave u offer and they issued u study visa.

The second part, there is no need to package anything. Remember, there could be a change in accommodation for whatever reason. You have to provide info on where you actually stayed.

Is it okay to change address after like 6 months then?

As you have said changing the address too soon affects one's score

Change address 6 months after moving so as to ensure cc address on file is up to 1 yr

Win/Win situation

One has to move, the dip will happen but then it will go back up

My people I greet una well.

I have a little question. When applying for health and care worker dependent visa, I saw the following 2 options for identification:

-have their fingerprints and photograph taken at a visa application centre - this is to get a biometric residence permit

-use the ‘UK Immigration: ID Check’ app to scan their identity document - they’ll also create or sign in to their UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) account.

Can someone kindly confirm if the second option is available for Nigerians? And if it is, does that mean I don't have to go to UK embassy?

Thanks mucho

Anybody please?

Alright thanks.

Have any idea how long it'll take to go for biometrics once I complete the application? Trying to plan myself. Or do I pick any date available?

Not a good idea if you're withdrawing cash from your credit card to pay your rent, as any cash withdrawals are noted on your file (even if settled quickly) and will impact your credit score and history
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 2) by AgentXxx(m): 8:38pm On Nov 11, 2022
Please after how many months will I be tax free after getting to the Uk?
semmyk:
If the rental provider or landlord provide a cc facility (link, scan, QR ...), why not if not. Simple response, it's a YES.
However, if not, and the transaction will be treated as cash, TREAD CAUTIOUSLY!

When coming from Nigeria, which of the airports would you suggest that we land and how do we commute ourselves from the airport to carlisle without much stress, considering our luggage?
How are the schools for the kids? I'm coming 3kids, Age 3-8.
I'll be working in the NHS, any opportunity for Locum around?.

At least I deserved a welcome package smiley but tbh I thought I previously read where tax are immediately once drops in that you need to hit a target of income before it becomes taxable.
