giselle237: Can people who have applied and received their passport within 2months comment on the Number of Pages and duration they applied for? I applied for 64pages, 10years and got my passport in about 5weeks (Bio on 17th July, passport delivered on 23rd August). I wanted to confirm if the no of pages and duration affects the processing speed. Also If you applied for the same 10years, 64 pages and yet to receive your passport after 2months also comment. 1 Like |

adeolaspecial: In addition to the various advice that has been offered on earning more, I think you should also look into PROPER tracking of your monthly expenses so you can correctly identify what are the biggest/unreasonable drains on your finances at the moment and tackle those pieces. A couple with one child earning a combined net income of at least ÂŁ3,200 shouldnât be struggling by any standards. You should definitely look to earn more, but the reasoning for this should be to have bigger disposable income, increase savings/investments or enjoy some luxury, etc. It shouldnât be because youâre currently struggling. During the time you were earning way more, did you manage to hugely save after you finished up paying school fees? Where did you redirect all that extra cash to afterwards? Any black tax burdens? I obviously donât know much about your situation, but I sense that there maybe the need to look into cultivating better financial habits overall. Please also clear up your credit card debts ASAP and run out of that hole like youâre being chased. Wishing you the very best and hope you figure things out in due time. 7 Likes |

Good day my people. Please I need your candid advice. My visa is about to expire in January. I just got to know HND holder would need English test for UKVI.please which of the tests is easiest to pass SELT, IELT and others which I don't know the names. Please advise |

Tomyusf141: Let's wait for others to contribute but I think you should go ahead and apply for the visa with the expired passport than going out of status. Worse case scenario, they write back and ask you to send your new passport 3 Likes |

Another thing I realized recently is that many Nigerians actually qualify for the global talent visa stream. Many were just going for the student visa and care worker route simply because it is popular. It's not only tech people that can apply for global talent visa. Fashion designers, event managers, visual artists, even make-up artists also qualify. 3 Likes |

rowon: All the exams are basically the same thing, they're testing for similar aptitude for/in English so you're going to be having similar difficulty levels in both, however, as someone who has taken the IELTS more than once for different purposes, I'll say do a lot of practice before taking the exams. It's not hard, but you need to be aware of how the questions are formatted and how the style changes from stage to stage. 1 Like |

@semmyk, @Santa2, I had my graduation yesterday, and it was eventful. I would like to thank you personally, @semmyk, for making this happen. When all hope was lost,you came through with your advice and the right step to take. I'm sure you still remember my situation vividly,when I failed my modules and the school was going to award me a postgraduate diploma instead of an MSc. I followed your advice and wrote to the vice chancellor of my school regarding my predicament and why I failed. Her office swung into action, and I was given the last chance 'Extenuating Circumstancesâ . I was asked to resubmit the failed module, and I passed. Yesterday, I was awarded a Master of Science. @semmyk, I prayed God would come through for you in whatever challenges you are going through, just like you came through for me. It will all come good soon. My appreciation also goes to @Santa2 for your advice and kind words. Thank you again and again. 59 Likes 3 Shares |

genkins: In 2021 when I sold crypto in ÂŁ, I had 2 buyers who would send money to my account without mention of crypto, one Ghanaian and another india. The Indian would send with note in Hindi saying take care brother or Uncle A asked me to give you this for upkeep. He was a student as at that time too. That was when I was able to risk it (cos of school fee). After that period my risk level dropped and i only sold crypto to # then convert back to pounds. Long trip, saved me from worrying about anything. Not sold in the last years as my job takes care of me here. Someone also advised getting a crypto Visa card. I believe binance has that. In whatever you do, keep the term âCryptoâ out of the notes/description. It use to be a big deal 2-3years ago, donât know the situation now. |

Maureen4sure: Congratulations as I can imagine your joy! I know someone who had similar issue, she was awarded a postgraduate diploma in February because she didn't meet up with the academic requirements to be awarded a Msc. She submitted medical reports, involved the student advice, course leader, the school mental wellness team and the pastoral counsellor......the school granted her another opportunity to resubmit what was outstanding in early May and by first week of June, the result was out and awarded a Msc.....graduated in July. 2 Likes |
