Hebraeem: Get C of O on your land. That way you're sure of the supremacy (generally speaking) of your ownership against others and even the government if they need take it over (compensation). There are other types of title you can get but buying land with anything less secure when you're out of the country and there's no physical structure/activity going on on the land is playing with fire. 1 Like |

lightofjoy: Will affect recurring card payments but not direct debits/credits or standing orders. Your salary will continue to flow in unmolested, don't worry. |

Teedol: Your date of birth is more important than your second name. As long as your date of birth matches, I don't think there should be any issues |

hustla: First direct dodgy? They have some of the, if not the best customer service and are usually ranked third in customer satisfaction surveys (the ones they give printouts of whenever you visit a physical branch of any bank), only behind Monzo and Starling. It's a division under HSBC so there's no risk as to its viability either. 1 Like |

Did you update yours here in the UK, if yes how did you go about it? I learnt some agency[ies] handles NIN here in the UK,. Solumtoya: |

giselle237: What makes it not true? I may decide to write my fist, second and surname name on a particular document and decides to write only my first name and surname on the other document and it'll still be acceptable unlike if I have my first, second and surname but my date of birth is different say maybe I wrote 1990 instead of 1980 and it won'tbe acceptable. So what makes it not true? |

Phayie: My dear you are seeing this issue from a general perspective not from the NIN’s perspective lool |

Phayie:it doesnt work like that with NIN and International passport from your country Nigeria. NAMES AND DOB must match alphabet for alphabet. If any discrepancy they wont renew passport until the data is modified . Did the person ask for generic circumstances or they specifically asked about RENEWING Nigerian passport? Pls dnt fail exam this way. 3 Likes |

[quote author=koonbey post=124086301] Please, have anyone experience this? Kindly share. Last week my employer sent me for Access NI check which I have applied and they paid for it, And today i received an email that they will verify my documents on Teams call to confirm that my ID documents are a true identity of me to complete my Access NI check application, what does it mean? Bear in mind, I am still in Naija waiting for COS. What is Teams call? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Nobody: 6:55pm On Jun 28, 2023 |
[quote author=zeezeepearl post=124091806][/quote] Teams call is a video call on Microsoft Teams. It's just like Zoom. Download and install it on your device and you'll be good to go. Doesn't seem too unusual. I know people are often asked to show their IDs on a video call at the start of an interview. Go on the call and show it. I don't think there's anything to be worried about. 1 Like 1 Share |

hustla: Edited It's simple to use First Direct. Even the number of letters they send you will amaze you. I earned switch bonuses from Natwest, Royal Bank of Scotland and First Direct even though RBS are Natwest's arm. |

Thank you so much @Koonbey. Again how long does it take for the employer to assign one a COS after you might have accepted a job offer? I did my interview January and they got back to me that I was successful and went mute.. then last month they came again for my documentation and background checks. And that they are still awaiting the outcome of the sponsorship. I don't really understand how all these things work. The wait is killing.. koonbey: |
