So ayam not understanding why my comments were deleted from page 73, cos though I asked a question about travel to another country, it bothered on peculiarities with applying from UK. Lemme respect myself and not join in the blue film discussion, perhaps I would be singled out to chop ban this time around. The links that my oga graciously added, I was planning to begin the process this weekend wey I get small time. All gone. Mods I hail in capital letters o. |

Good evening everyone, Just to get a clearer picture of what direction in terms of buying a car out-rightly for like £1000 tops or finance an averagely okay and not too old car for like £3000. Correct me if i'm wrong please, I'm aware that a car of £1000 will probably have an insurance that is higher than the cost of the car itself and high maintenance..is it really worth it? Also, will someone that has only resided in the UK for 3 months be able to get a company to finance a car? I'm looking at Ford Fiesta to be able to reduce the cost of the insurance but don't know about its maintenance compared to Toyota brands. Please guys let me know your thoughts on this... |

Yinkzy03: Flee from Ford. If you have money, goan take one on finance. If you don't (like me) goan jejely find one used car below 100k miles and buy. Drive for 6month to one year and switch as appropriate. You see you're first insurance ba? E go plenty o. Na to apply sense. My 2pence |

Yinkzy03: Some companies provide company vehicles or provide soft loans, to employees....... Strictly company dependent on/or roles......... To cut running cost and insurance bills, get a vehicle with very low emissions footprint. Vehicles like Toyota Aygo, Citroen C1, lion king 106 etc etc I would personally not advice financing a £3000 vehicle, simply because that small £3000 finance, could eventually turn into a whopping £5800 final payment. At the end of your repayment circle, the vehicle might only be worth under £500.......... My 2 pence ....... 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Good Morning all, We just renewed our visa. We initially paid IHS for 1year but my baby at the time was under 1 and was required to pay for 3 years. We renewed our visa for 3years and had to pay another 3 years IHS, this is including my baby who we had previously paid 3years IHS. Please how do I request for a refund for the 2years left on the previous IHS of my baby (thats £400 ![]() ![]() ![]() |

MadameKofo: Congratulations on your visa renewal. We have similar issues and what I have read so far is it will be refunded automatically in 6weeks. Check this link for more information https://www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application/refunds |

Hello, I think as at the time of the first visa application, you should have received the refund of the 2years overcharge and if they didt, you should have taken it up. Now that you've got another renewal, you might have to write to Immigration to look into it attaching proof of payments...I wish you all the best. MadameKofo: 1 Like |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by veleta: 4:54pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
@Madamkefo,check the address on the approval letter for your visa,write a letter using that address requesting for IHS refund.Clearly write out the name of the person requesting for refund,IHS reference number,Date of birth and also attach both previous and current IHS receipt to the letter.Good luck |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by MadameKofo: 6:17pm On Oct 17, 2018 |
Thank you all for your responses. I will write to them and attach proof if its not automatically refunded after 6 weeks. |

DaveChapelle: That is just a lie, you did not delete a single post with this ID, you deactivated your previous ID and posts just after some immigration discussion here, so don't blame it on banning. In other news..a fraudulent character here just sent me an email about TV license, asking me to renew it. My message to that person is try harder |

Morning folks, I'm in a dilemma and I hope this is the right thread to seek help. I defaulted on my US visa and so technically I am an illegal resident, though I have applied for a green card 6months ago. However, I plan to join my fiancé who is on a Tier 2 visa and has a comfortable job. The plan is to get married as soon as I come over but Gov.uk says if I apply for a spousal visa, I would only have a 6months leave and I can't switch visas. The other option is to apply as a dependant but when he got into the UK, we weren't engaged at the time, so I wasn't included as his dependant. Pls I need advice on the options available to me, I'm really confused. PS: If he sponsors me, I hope my bad immigration history wouldn't be a ground for rejection. |

TiffanyCara: I think it is one of the questions asked. Maybe you should get married in Nigeria first and have kids or have kids first. Some people will critic you for this, but i find that all these immigration policies are a kinda wave of discrimination on the 3rd world |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by TiffanyCara(f): 4:09pm On Oct 20, 2018 |
DaveChapelle: Thanks dear. I worry about going back home, scared of being stuck in Nigeria. It would be like falling back to level zero. I'm really worked up about my options. |
