Yes you should state all the offences lodged against you, hiding them could be tagged deceptive 🀣🀣

Holla!

Please, has anyone on Health and Care visa with a newborn in the UK had to apply for a dependent visa for the baby solely for the baby to access NHS after three months of birth?

According to Gov.UK, it's not imperative to apply for a visa for a UK-born baby except when exiting and entering the UK. However, there's an NHS advisory that newborn can only access free care up to three months after which the IHS must be paid.

Ideally, health and care visa holders/dependents don't pay IHS. Hence, I feel it's logical to conclude that the newborn wouldn't have to apply for the sole purpose of accessing NHS as IHS wont be paid still.

However, I'd like to hear from those with experience on H&C visa. Thanks

Nigerian Arrested For Chatting, Sending Intimate Pictures To Underage Girl In UK

Despite the extent to which this sort of news have gone viral on so many occasions, yet we are still having blokes messing up big time. I don't know if to term this as ignorance, sheer stupidity or just a dirty habit that have refused to go away.

This is really embarrassing to say the least!

Good day house, I just need encouragement from you all. I entered UK early this month and I've been job hunting, mehn it hasn't been easy at all. I apply not less that 20 jobs daily and I keep getting the unfortunately mail. I live around Manchester. Just want my senior men to encourage me cos sometimes when I see the mail, it kills my moral but regardless I'll keep applying, hoping this phase will pass soon.
It's the season of love and Christ celebrations. Relax, calm down, God is your strength.
Since you stay around Manchester, the city is the industrial capital of UK, try warehouse jobs and you will get it easily. Unless you don't want warehouse. And keep trying other sectors

What if you travel back to Nigeria and came back to the UK after few weeks which entry date will be used to calculate the 12months?

You have only one entry date, which us the 1st time you entered the UK, the entry stamp will be on your visa vignette, any other re-entry will be stamped on one of the pages of your passport.

I am a silent reader most of the time, but I had to comment on this and encourage you, you have to start applying for jobs like cleaning and warehouse first. I was in your shoes months ago, unfortunately was my daily email and I almost gave up completely but good things comes to those who wait believe me. What I will advise is you build a good cv for the main job you intend to do while working the warehouse job and optimize your LinkedIn, see I never believe social media was important to job hunt until I experienced it, make your main CV align with your social media and be intentional about what you need to do, everyone's outcome is different and believe me aim higher don't listen to people when they say "in this UK, na only warehouse and care you fit do" these are great jobs but if your plan is different follow it as this country gives you opportunity only if you are ready to go for it, I did warehouse passionately and believe me most of the people I am close to are in care/support so for no reason don't think I look down on these jobs but I'll tell you that you are in a country you don't need to know somebody to be whatever you want to be. So I am encouraging you this morning and I am using myself as an example and telling you things change quickly from bad to good here but you only need to be resilient and keep going no matter what, your good news is just around the corner.

Just to clarify : Why cant she sleep? Is the pain from the piles keeping her awake?

If the pain from the piles is keeping her awake, i would go to the A&E. No guarantee she wont be told to have a CT scan.

If she is just not sleeping for no reason, i would hold on till she goes back to Nigeria then see a GP in Nigeria.

My good people!
Can my grandma way come visiting use the A & E at a hospital? Or at our registered GP?
Does this come with heavy cost? Any implication/impart on her next visiting visa application if she uses the Hospital?
Is she even allowed to access it as visitor that didn't pay IHS?
UK polices on Immigrants dey fear person these days

She has got pile (though managing it) but that one that gives me concern is her inability to sleep at nights. I mean she will not sleep?
She has never used any sleeping pills before now?
I don Google tire and the results found is even more confusing.
Please help
Your candid advise would be greatly appreciated

1. Taylor your CV to match the job application. It might be stressful though.
2. Search for "Reed in Partnership" and register on the website. Most importantly, try to locate their nearest office. Thank me later
3. Socialise. Tiktok, Church groups helps.
I wish you the best

Applying for almost 20 jobs in a day is not enough. Align your CV as others had said and make sure you have a cover letter for every application. Search CV-warejouse, total jobs, reeds, etc and ensure you apply for at least 50 in each day for a week. You need to read some job specification and tailor your cv to it. E get why oh. Na computer dey screen you out. So you too give computer what he want

You will spend a lot writing ACCA again. If you are in England, use your ICAN for pathway to ICAEW. You are good
