The bolded is the problem. The “know someone” chain seems to be longer now, and I am not able to reach the absolute. Would you mind helping

I got sold into the minister of environment’s hype on how he has fixed NIMC, and thought everything should be done in 2months(max) - mtchew!

I just need expert clarification on that statement on “ • a valid passport or other travel document” to draft a plan. I’m sure mine is not the first

When you submit your GV application, it's a tick box exercise........ Once the passport validity is got a red tick, GV application would simply not proceed.......

I used to know someone at NHC, but I think he got redeployed back to the trenches........😁

Would ask around if anyone knows anyone......

Long term sick ehn, I had a 60 Yr old lady 3 yrs on the list for a hip replacement. She is in constant pain, Her GP has had to increase her pain relief to Regular morphine. She is now an addict because of the tories.
Tell me again about longterm sick. The 7.6 million on that waitlist are human beings. They can be treated and go back to work but sunackered doesn't want to hear about that.

It's easier to demonise the long-term sick.
I ve applied for Annual leave on July 5th. I ll be up all night at the election result watch party 🥳 🎉. #independenceday

Oh dear! Hopefully Labour would find the money to 'invest' (their new cliché) in the NHS.. Kudos on your campaign endeavours. I would make my mind up with time. Have other things to stress about now.

It's clear Labour would likely have the day. I'd be keen to see how they'd meet peoples expectations. I'd be particularly interested after the first two years as their initial get out of jail card (like PMB) would be '14 years of Tory failure'

Honestly its tiring to say the least, there is always something happening. Went to a wholesale market the other day, it was like I was transported back to yaba and na so someone bring out tripod to record .

There is already rife talks of them stopping individuals from coming due to the manner of buying and splitting and creating chaos.

I even saw someone carrying box of yam/items on the head at the bus station and I begin to wonder if the market is really worth it

Hahahaha... Our people easily get carried away!

Zahra29:


Lol but true.

Brits are ever tactful. They might mutter their displeasure to one another in the pub, but most are careful enough not to state it publicly for the reasons you mentioned.

This is one other reason why I feel it's more conducive in the UK than the USA and other European countries... The system here frowns at open display of racial prejudice.

The NHS will always be a bone in the throat of any government.

Currently, £1 of every £10 is spend on the nhs, far more than any sector.

The nhs probable worked well when the country had a young population and a fast growing economy. The population is aging, as a developed country it is unlikely to grow at a very fast pace, cost of medicare has gone up....something has to give.

Either make more services privatized or strip other sectors of funds to prop up the nhs

Yes, all the Nigerians in the UK are envious of you and your domiciliary care job.

Hahahaha I'm late to the party, just reading these comments and cracking up here!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Let me follow the film... But I thought khumburu was a gentle man with all those questions ooo 😂

kumbhuru:

Thank you much. Reason why I opted for the international drivers permit as that one comes out fast.
Maybe a paper temporary license and an international permit would cut. I'm not sure.
I really appreciate your time, thank you. Will revert once I have more concern. Thank you

I just went on a search on Twitter and discovered that for my good, I need the National Drivers license more than the international permit.

I tried to apply now and it is just as you have described. This seems to be a dire situation now.

I need serious advice on this matter.

Any advice is welcome from everyone

If you have to make a trip to NHC, make it..... Speak to a member of staff, plead your case (he might be the connect)......

They might request for something something........😯😁

Hello everyone,

I am currently residing in the UK and find myself in a bit of a predicament. My passport has recently expired and the earliest appointment I could secure for its renewal is scheduled after the expiration date of my current visa.

This situation has left me quite concerned and I am seeking advice on a specific matter: Is it possible to apply for a graduate visa in the UK with an expired passport?

I am not exactly able to interpret the message on the page attached: I consider an expired passport to be a means of identity still. It might just not be a tenable travel document at the port of entry.

Any guidance or experiences shared would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.

Hi.
Since you are in the UK, you can apply with an expired passport. Just increase the validity year of your passport. In additional docs, include a letter to explain what you have done. You may also include proof of application for renewal as a back up. I know ppl who have done this with no issues.

I personally know a few people (about 3) who applied for visas ( not PSW) with expired passports. They got the visas.
On one occasion, the system refused to accept Dec 2023 as date of expiration . She entered Dec 2024 just to pass that stage on the application. Then, she wrote an explainer, detailing how she has booked for passport renewal and how the nigeria passport biometric queue is long.
She received her visa.

Hi all, please anyone know if it’s possible for someone on a visitors visa can switch to a dependent visa. So scenario being:
- the person had a 2yr UK visitor visa,
- got married in Nigeria to a Nigerian with skilled worker visa,
then travelled to UK on their own with visitors visa.
But rather than return to Nigeria and apply for dependent visa, they’ll like to switch while in the Uk. I’ve google and I’m seeing conflicting results. Clarity needed. Thanks

switching should be possible but I think you have to apply from outside the country

You cannot switch from a visitors visa

Hi,

I need information about Cheadle. What does it feel like living in the environment, schools ( primary and secondary school), diversity, presence of African shops, crime rates, etc. I have read about the area on Google, just need lived experience please.

Yes what's happening with Homes under the Hammer, I stopped watching as they kept showing reruns.

Location, Location, location is on Channel 4, (Kirstie and Phil). If you have cable you should be able to watch current and old episodes.

Kirstie and Phil also host another popular property show - "Love it or List it", also on C4.

Thanks, will check them out

giselle237:
always best to include it.. as in some refusal letters they mention they could not see applicant’s bank statement and could not access the applicant’s own life and circumstances in their own country and therefore denying the visa..

Hi
Sorry I’m bothering you. I have access to the statement of account, it is 66 pages. Will it be too much to upload the 66pages?

@Zahra

Applied for skilled worker some months ago, this is what was stated which I fully understand (“ You are also allowed to take supplementary employment, namely work outside your normal working hours for your sponsor of up to 20 hours per week with another employer. This must be either in a job on the Shortage Occupation List, or in the same occupation code as the job described in your certificate of sponsorship.”)



I applied for another one last week and it stated that
“You are also allowed to take supplementary employment, namely work outside your normal working hours for your sponsor of up to 20 hours per week with another employer. This must be a job listed in the Standard Occupational Classification system (tables 1-3) in the Immigration Rules.”

I don’t really understand this and can find the table1-3 they are referring to.

Make this people no go tell me say I will not be eligible to carry out my time job again, this is not funny.

Please advise, suggestions and input from all other members are welcome

It's not really clear what you're asking in the bolded but here's an explanation of the change:

Your first visa was before April 4. Before that date, you could only take on an additional job (for maximum of 20 hours) if the job was in the same occupation code as the one you were sponsored for or in the shortage occupation list.

Since April 4, you can now work an additional job (for maximum of 20 hours) if the job eligible for skilled worker sponsorship. You do not need to be sponsored for that additional job as long as you do not work more than 20 hours per week but the point is that it has to be a role that could have been eligible for sponsorship, so you can't take on roles like delivery driver or cleaner, for example. The list of eligible jobs are here under Table 1, 2 and 3 - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/immigration-rules/immigration-rules-appendix-skilled-occupations

You may also find this explainer article useful: https://shepwedd.com/knowledge/major-changes-skilled-worker-visa-route


As an aside, it's interesting how this very important liberalisation of the skilled worker route didn't get that much publicity. It appears the government's strategy is to reduce the number of people coming in but make it easier for people already in to do more work if they wish, thereby potentially filling some of the open roles and generating more income for themselves and, very crucially, the government lol.

So after many years of being on this thread, NO ONE! Not a single person, knows Justwise personally and can come and tell us if he’s okay? We should be ashamed of ourselves

I find myself randomly hoping he’s okay. He’s never disappeared this long before.
