cbn4main: Yes, to the best of my knowledge, you need a COS to extend your work visa even if its with thesame employer. 1 Like |

Can anyone help with why my dependent wasn’t charged for IHS? Is there anything I need to do? Will it delay the application? |

BouharryArtikou: Is it now ? Wrong again. Thanks . I believe someone said it was £100 |

elengine: But find more information before cancelling, it seems Home Office is taking time to issue new skilled worker visas/issue CoS now (I can't confirm this though but I've been hearing it) Don't empty your drum at the sound of rain... 2 Likes |

Gift7428:I was charged around 600 USD for IHS. I thought maybe I'm paying less because the MA's visa has only 1 year left. 3 days after my application, I got a mail asking for top up. I believe that delayed my application by a week. Please send a paid mail ASAP (it's even better if you do this before biometric) |

Hi guys what do you think is the best account to open for int students in the uk? I’m in between Barclays and royal bank of Scotland |

Oh It’s a graduate visa, biometrics has been done online already before submission. I will send a paid mail. directonpc: |

Please what happens next after someone has spent 5 years on a work visa. At what point would the person be able to apply for ILR. Is it after the end date of the COS. Does the person need another visa extension to be able to apply for ILR? 1 Like |

Hi Elders, Quick one on no claims discount and car insurance. I have been driving for years in Nigeria (13yrs). I have a full UK drivers licence (Aug 2023). I’m searching the market for most affordable insurance policy. For NCD, I put 13yrs (Naija) and I know someone who’s asking for 65k to prepare the authentication and record document from FRSC. It looks like Canada immigrants are the ones that need the document. Is it worth purchasing the document to reduce my UK insurance? Would they accept it in place of a NCD proof? Will it make a huge difference to justify the 65k naira (£37) spend? Thanks in advance |

Tier4Dependant: Seriously?? Didn't know this o. Does this mean someone with a domiciliary care CoS for example can apply and also hold a care home CoS without switching? You mean it's possible to have two employers? Kindly clarify... 1 Like |

Vintagee: You should apply for your ILR no more than 28 days before the expiry of your work visa. If you wait till it expires then you must extend it before applying. At the time of application you should have passed your life in the UK test. 6 Likes 3 Shares |

Owoado: It’s not forgery — it’s my real driving experience in Nigeria, without making a single insurance claim. The verification is done from FRSC head office Abuja. Why you would think of the negative instead of reading what I wrote, I would never know. My question is it acceptable for UK insurers as proof of NCD? 2 Likes |

Vintagee:Check the email notification from HO with respect to your last cos application. It is documented there. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Vintagee: 12:15pm On Jan 08 |
Mamatukwas: So what this means is that one can write the life in the UK test before the 5 years elapses and nit a must you have to clock 5 years first. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Mamatukwas: 12:29pm On Jan 08 |
Vintagee: Yes. By the time you clock exactly 5 years. Your ILR application should ideally already be with the Home Office |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by ReesheesuKnack: 1:03pm On Jan 08 |
Jamesclooney: The information you provided sounded like forgery (to me). FRSC has NO business issuing out NCDs. For the 13 years you have been driving in Nigeria, did you have valid insurance policies from valid insurance companies? If yes, you are a great customer (13-year’s worth). Contact the insurance company and ask them for an NCD. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Goodenoch: 1:17pm On Jan 08 |
Jamesclooney: From your OP: "I know someone who’s asking for 65k to prepare the authentication and record document from FRSC." 1. The questions are: Is this 'authentication and record document' listed anywhere on the FRSC website or in any official communication from the commission? 2. Are you going to be applying for and obtaining this document from the FRSC directly? Will you be obtaining FRSC receipts and other documentation from this person? These points are important because even if you scale though the mostly automated signup process and get a policy but insurance claims adjusters challenge your NCD when you need to make a claim here in the UK, you'll need to prove it beyond saying 'somebody on Nairaland said...' The answers to those questions should indicate why the person you quoted said what they said, and I daresay, they'll also give you the overall answer to your question. |

ReesheesuKnack: Oga, it’s third party insurance in Nigeria. I never did anyone myself by going personally to insurance office, except one year I did comprehensive with Axa mansard (new car). I used our office plug for car paper renewals (road worthiness, insurance etc.). Total cost back then was 5 - 15k. I’ve now contacted the office plug (FRSC staff) and he’s offered me the driver record document, he says that’s what is obtainable. I explained it’s for NCD and he claims yes that’s what they give people (his customers, I.e my former colleagues). He showed me a sample and it was addressed to someone in Canada. If you ask me the name of the insurance companies I used for 3rd party, I have no idea, they’re mushroom coys. Not convinced by the guys story, I wanted to know if I should proceed or not. I think I’ve gotten my answer from Google. Thanks |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Jamesclooney: 1:30pm On Jan 08 |
Goodenoch: Read my response in my previous post. It’s an authentic document. Ask folks in Canada, they use it. Everything is not fraud fgs. I only asked an innocent question if it’s applicable in UK, and the answer is clear to me…NO. I don’t have record of all the 3rd party insurance coys I used over the years, if not I would have gone directly. But posters couldn’t stop themselves from assuming forgery was the case here (wrong). Lazy stereotype. We need to do better especially when we demand more from others. 1 Like |

Jamesclooney: Do you have a link to the FRSC website or any other official communication where this document is discussed? Something to the police character certificate, passport, etc? I haven't said it's forgery. It's you who's seeing allegations of forgery everywhere and I can only wonder why. 3 Likes |
