Farilight: Simple. Go to the TLS website, select the location (London, Manchester or Edinburg), then select the kind of visa you want—different needs for different visa types. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Hello my people. Please I need some clarification on the below; Please pardon my lengthy post. 1. I have a provisional license and my driving practical test is for later this month. My confusion is, the provisional licence has my previous address, and i would like to know when to change it. Should i initiate the change now or wait till i pass my driving test later this month. I tried to do an address update on the license online, however, when it got to inputting my passport number, it kept rejecting it and saying it was wrong. I later realised that it was because it was not a British passport. How do i effect an address change before they issue me the full license basically? 2. I have been looking for a car and it has been so stressful. I am looking for an automatic petrol, 1.2-1.4 engine size, 2010 and above car with a low road tax of not more than £100 and fair insurance. My budget is £4k. The cars i have seen are slightly above this price. Is it advisable to pay part cash and finance the rest (paying the balance in 2 equal instalments. car price not more than £6k). what are the things to look out for when having this kind of finance arrangement. The car need is so urgent as i cannot be spending almost 2 hours commuting to work and another 2hrs back when it would take me only about 35mins driving to work. My people, please help my confusion. Gracias. 1 Like |

umarwy: Careful with all these innuendos being thrown around. I'm yet to see any publication stating 80% of dependants are economically inactive. The reverse tends to be the case. If a Brit with access to public funds can barely survive on entry wages, how then does a family with visa fees do same on one income? Look around, there are plenty masters students who came with their spouse. It's the income from their spouse that sorts their fees. Moreso given their spouse has no work limitation. Many even left kids back home until they are settled. Many times, dependants work harder than their sponsored other. Recently, a lady shared here how her dependant spouse did same and within a few years, they had a home. Regarding children, thats a moot point. Every western nation sorely needs kids as birthrate has remained below replacement level. It is those naturalized kids that'd be the Sunaks of tomorrow helping to offset the rising wage costs of the elderly which is the burden their parents are shouldering today. 17 Likes 3 Shares |

jedisco: It's not innuendo, it has been stated numerous times by the government and I'm sure they have access to data points and not just anecdotes: https://homeofficemedia.blog.gov.uk/2024/02/01/reducing-net-migration-factsheet-december-2023/ Surely some dependants work – so by banning them you are reducing the amount of working people coming to the UK? We estimate that only around 25% of dependants work when they come to the UK. It's obvious, even from this forum, that the majority of master's students came in with or were joined by their families. Some are now struggling to pay the PSW fees for the family especially with the increased IHS. Some have opted to send the kids back in the short term, some have opted to leave out the children and just apply for the parents for now. Some had planned to jump onto the care visa and avoid paying IHS altogether but have been caught out by the new policies. 6 Likes |

Hi Guys. I want to ask what's the implication of applying for a skilled worker's visa before the start date on the certificate of sponsorship. Start date is in May, but CoS was issued this early march. Applicant wants to go ahead and apply because of the impending immigration policy change. 1 Like |

Taal17: What’s the recommended interval if I may ask? I know someone who’s got 2yr visa. Can the person spend 6mths, 2 months interval, the come back for another 6mths? Any risk of being turned away at Border Control? |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 11:21pm On Mar 05 |
Poanan: Yes, but it would be reasoned judgement and not finger in the air. Even with a generous margin applied to the estimate, the figures would still point to under 50% of dependants being economically active. |
Re: Living In The Uk-life Of An Immigrant (part 3) by Zahra29: 11:27pm On Mar 05 |
Jamesclooney: There isn't a recommended interval - it's down to the discretion of the border official. The rules state that you must show that you’ll not live in the UK for extended periods through frequent or successive visits, or make the UK your main home So a pattern of long and successive visits will likely raise questions at immigration control. |

lavida001: Ukrainians were chased by Putin & his tanks. Would you rather prefer that you came here because Cameroun or Chad or Niger or Benin are bombing & killing and destroying your village in Nigeria? You paid 16k tuition, really? But that is not the beginning of the story. Before paying the tuition, do you remember what else you did? Let me remind you. a. You showed proof of funds to assure the UK that money ain’t ya problem, that you had enough ££ to take care of yourself, & any dependants, didn’t you? b. Remember that zoom video interview? Do you remember what you outlined to the interviewer about your plans upon graduation? 4 Likes 1 Share |

jedisco: Sorry to interrupt, but when developed countries wish to increase their birth rates, they don't mean people like us o. They mean "their own people". So, while the rate might increase, they are not completely happy about the people who constitute that increment. 2 Likes 1 Share |

lavida001: People from Chad displaced by Boko Haram are housed in IDP camps for free at the expense of the Nigerian government while Americans coming to work in Nigeria have to pay visa fees, expatriate levies and support themselves. That means the Nigerian government is discriminatory, right? — The sort of poor logic one sees here regularly sef gives credence to certain claims. 2 Likes |

Zahra29: I agree the Russell group may not face the same problem like the post 92 universities. Russell group 'customers' are not affected on the same scale like the post 92s. Generally, the mood in the sector is not too good and universities have started implementing voluntary severance on a low key. Gone are the days of high recruitment. Universities are not even keen to replace anybody that leaves right now. It's job enlargement camouflaged as job enrichment for current staff. I am aware of Universities that even withdraw offers from new staff that are yet to resume late last year and early this year. Fingers crossed. |

Some of them even think students are on benefits and our govs pay us to study, one even told me we should stop taking their benefits and was surprised I have never collected £1 in benefits before (them ESA, PIP etc). Hell, in 2 years, I have only ever visited the GP for registration, never booked an appointment or anything. I have spoken with some people who stare in disbelief when you outline what students pay to come to the UK I wish their media houses would actually englighten them instead of writing yeye sensational news upandan 1 Like |
