Good morning Guys, I hope we are all enjoying the weather. Its getting to me already o so i'm dressed like a masquerade in the house. Trying to push it as far as i can before using the heater. I passed my Driving Theory Test, all Thanks to God, although that Hazard Perception na border line tins. I used Theory 4in1 app, it did a good job and it took me about a week plus, although serious studying and good sticky memory should be able to achieve it in 3days. Booked for the practical already and got a driving school, £25/hour. I told them i've got only 5 lessons to do, whichever way they wana do it, its up to them. Low and behold, it wasn't as bad as i thought, first lesson was good and i did't face one-way, lol. Just to give you all a heads up. Its been silent here though, where are you guys @fatima04, @lexusgs430, @wonlasewonimi, @iamconfused, @sutelk, @Inkredible, @DaveChapelle... 1 Like |

Yinkzy03: 5 lessons? Hmm, following seriously, maybe I may use 2. Not taken this driving thing seriously, don't know if its because its so convenient for me to move around in public transport or because of the fear of failing going by the testimonies of those that have attempted before me. Met a guy this week who told me he has been trying since 2015. But this your 5 classes target is giving me hope. Go come back. As per weather, if you think you look like masquerade, with until you see me. And I made the big mistake of shaving my head 2 days ago, now my brain has no natural insulation. I think I now have an excuse to grow my afro, now I can say its the weather not the money. |

Yinkzy03: 5 lessons ![]() ����� Seeing your level of determination, I really don't want you to waste your time so if you live close to the SE postcodes the EASIEST place to pass on first attempt is Hither Green. Now, you have booked 5 lessons, it means you will need to take those lessons on the possible routes the examiner will ask you to drive on. The road signs are good to follow. The examiners often avoid going on the major routes in hither green in the morning because of rush hour which causes a build up of traffic especially approaching the roundabout there. Most stick to the 30mph inner roads.Occassionally, some examiners might insist venturing on the major roads but the routes are easy to travel on even with minimal practice, beware of bus lane/times(avoid completely if possible) and master traffic lights for your own routes- important! However, that being said generally brush up on the following: Practice your show me tell me questions, round about rules ( give way to the right always, no hesitation), always use your mirrors,all three and ensure examiner sees you doing it(especially when approaching junctions or exiting , you have to be on point with your MSM malarkey, mirror signal manoeuvre and all the associated neck twisting observations). Let youtube guide you as you do further personal practice. Practice your manoeuvre like parralel parking( align mirrors with car you intend to park behind or align with fuel tank if parking right in front of car, steer left- sight the v shape as it aligns with the kerb, pause, steer right and straighten up, this is one manoeuvre you will need quite often). Emergency stop, bay parking etc Good luck and your comment brought me back to life in the travel section. Justwise how you dey and vicjustice? Welldone o! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Good day everyone I'm planning to apply for my husband, mum and son as dependants around December or January in preparation for my delivery. I got to UK in Sept on a tier 2 visa and currently staying in a shared apartment. I'm planning to move to a flat or house. Should I go for a 2-bedroom apartment or 3-bedroom. I'm a total novice in this application of a thing, please any help you can render will be highly appreciated. I'm looking at using an Immigration solicitor though but the charge of £500 per applicant no be here. Thank you in anticipation of your timely responses |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Uglyduckling: 5:07pm On Oct 28, 2018 |
Heritagee: You don’t need an immigration solicitor for the application. It’s doable yourself. All the information can be found on Nairaland UK visa thread. Any confusion will be gladly clarified. Your mum cannot be your dependant(only partner and children under 18) except under very very exceptional circumstances which you most unlikely to meet. 1 Like |
