Hello All,

Please, I need advice on how to get accommodation around Southend on Sea, Essex. I've been staying in an Airbnb since I came on weekend. I'd be happy to hear from anyone around that can help, as well as any tips for getting one ASAP. I've been calling agents and landlords I saw online but haven't got anything yet. It's always, sorry the room has been taken or we will get back to you. The only one I saw was way above my budget, they wanted 750£ per month. I just need a room anywhere close to the University of Essex, Southend campus. Thanks

For the 5 year route, the count starts from when you got your work visa. Time spent on your student visa isn't counted.

Hello Everyone
I recently got my visa switch approved. I opted for priority service and got my decision mail the day after - Nov 8. Up until now ( About 24 working days) I’m still yet to get my brp. I’ve reported on the gov.uk a couple of times and the responses seem like a template - brp delivery team says it’s not a delivery issue and that a case worker will reach out to me meanwhile no further communication, no one has reached out to me. Same thing when I call their office.

Any advice on what to do?

Telling the agent that I am not renewing at the end of the contract does not suffice as notice?
This response was sent to them on October,that is like 2 months notice or it must come with the word NOTICE

MrMash:



Student: Paid 481 as visa fee

Dependant: Paid 650 as visa fee. (They are refunding the total amount)........ Product type : PBS, Start-up, Innovator or Global Talent – Partner visa

So I used Wise (formerly Transferwise) for this when I was in Naija. I used my GTB dollar card to pay money into my wise GBP account.

Iamfavored:

Is this still valid?

I know it’s really cold right now but you should jacket up and walk around to look for agencies close to where you live. Search for "letting agents near me” on google to find them. Use the walking direction option on google maps to get to each one of them.

You can also put up a post on your school’s Facebook page mentioning that you are looking to rent a room and if anyone has a spare room available to rent.

Finally, have you checked https://m.spareroom.co.uk/

Greetings,

Please I’ve been trying to call my contact(HR) person about a new job offer in Uk but seems she can only call me and I can’t call her from Nigeria here. I’ve added +44 to the number but still not connecting here. Abeg can anyone help me on how to resolve this ?

Thanks in advance

Advise needed please.
Now I am begining to understand why most Nigerians here don't want to accomodate newcomers who are Nigerians. I accommodated a guy who is becoming difficult for me to handle just because I don't like wahala. We lived in the same house in Nigeria and during those period we were never friends. We only exchanged greetings sometimes as he was very rude and proud. So when he got to know that I left Naija with my family, he became a 'friend', call

Please I need advise to handle this maturedly. Since he came none of his people called to say 'thank you' not even his girlfriend that we know. But I don't care at all as all I want is for him to leave as I don't want to continue to sacrifice the comfort of my family to someone who is unappreciative.

Ogbaba123:
I really dont know what to say but just hoping you've gotten rid of the leech.

Please my people, I need help!!!

What can be done if UK dependents (children only) visa fee was paid and biometrics appointment successfully booked without IHS payment?

While filling the visa application forms, my husband mistakenly declared under 18 (we think that's where the error was made), made payments and booked a date only to realise that he hasn't paid the IHS fee, and the page to do that is no longer coming up. He sent a mail to IHS through the addresses he was able to get online on Sunday, but we haven't heard anything from them since then and the appointment date is next week...

What else can be done please? @Justwise @mimilyrics @everyone

bigtt76:
Cancel the application/appointment and re-do it again. Funds may take time to be refunded though so you need to make provision for the extra cash to do this.

Omoluv5:
Okay, thank you so much for your response...

Meanwhile, someone is advising we go ahead with submitting the biometrics because UKVI will definitely contact us to make the IHS payment before they make decisions. How true please?

Hello elders.

Please I need clarifications on this issue.

A friend is planning to apply for student visa for herself and her kid. However, the husband is already in the UK and out of status (visiting).

Question: Would the hubby's status (overstay) affect the family's student visa application?

How can they go about it? Your answers, advices, and suggestions would highly be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Does she intend to include her husband, on her application...........

Make everybody bear hin baba name ..........

The husband will come into the picture when signing the child's consent form and marriage status.

Also, both mama and daughter already have their passports in the hubby's name.
