Bourne007: I’m sure I will enjoy it, especially the free cash withdrawal from a credit card. Got an ISA account I thought to invest the money into, then I’ll pay off with my interest-free balance transfer card. Win-win. |

Quick question people I just applied to renew my tier 2 visa and currently waiting for it. My spouse lives abroad and was doing inyanga to apply with me when I did mine. Now, guy has changed his mind and wants me to do his application, my question is, is it possible to apply for a dependent while my visa is not yet out or I have to wait for my visa before we can do his? |

I think you will have to wait for yours to be completed since you don't have your new brp yet. I had to submit a copy of my brp for my partner's application. gratefulme40: |

EngrSaks: Use your card to make purchases but make sure you pay off the whole balance at the end of every month to avoid paying any interest. Only use what you can afford to pay off every month. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hello guys, I need your opinion. I'm about renting my first house since moving to the UK, I've been staying in an accommodation provided by my employer. Got a two bedroom apartment for #660 but with EPC rating E and electric heating which I'm really concerned about. I spoke to a friend who pays #40 a month on energy bills for a house with electric heating in the same area, negotiated a fixed rate with his energy provider. Someone also told me issues they had with mould leaving in a house with epc rating of e and that they paid up to #200 for energy cos of electric heating. I already spoke with the letting agent who told me they don't have any record stating that the house had any issues with mould and condensation. Can you guys kindly advise me as I dont know much about the epc rating and its implications and also how to get cheap energy bills on eletric heating. Thanks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

perfectme: And you believed then just like that? Since you’ve rented it already (I assume you’re bound by a minimum amount of time to live there) just make sure you remind them of what they said when you see the mould, ok? It’s hot for now, so it won’t be so bad, so use now and save for the gas/electric bills during the winter months. |

“”Good evening gurus So, I already had my biometrics and its been over the 15 working days wait period. Was just going to track my application now and mistakenly clicked on upload, and my edossier is open again and saying 'Application not yet Submitted' . Has anyone ever experienced this? Or does anyone know what it means“ @hunnybee I just experienced this, how did you manage to resolve this ...sorry I had to use this method as other methods have been evasive. Kindly respond Floraoye0417: |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by EngrSaks(m): 8:55pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
Ebuka86: Your documents have already been sent for processing so I wouldn't worry too much as that page is just a status update page for tls contact and doesn't affect your Visa process... What you should do is to call in to find out the status of the Visa and ask for an escalation...the call costs about £1.73 minus your normal network charges for international calls , then an escalation fee of about 5,000 naira. It's the summer season so there are alot of delays this season... |

Hi Ebuka86, Yes I had the same issue. What I'd advise is don't bother to waste your money calling them. Anyways, what we did was upload all again just to be safe, our pick up mail came a day after. Ebuka86: |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Ebuka86: 9:56pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
Pick up mail mail for collection of passport? I just checked my mums applications as well and the same thing is happening. We submitted 4 days apart. But if you picked your passport a day after you re-uploaded then I’ll like to think the system automatically does that to all applications.... thank you for your response, I can rest easy now Hunnybee: |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Ebuka86: 10:00pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
Thanks for your response, it’s a priority visa but can I have the number so I can call in for my mum? EngrSaks: |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by EngrSaks(m): 11:20pm On Aug 07, 2019 |
Ebuka86: Yeah priority and standard can get delayed this period.. I know someone whose passport came back after 20 working days and he did priority This is the helpline +442034811736 |

Good evening everyone Please am asking this on behalf of a cuz. After winning a UK settlement visa appeal how long does it take to get the paperwork to submit alongside passport? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by DaveChapelle: 10:36pm On Aug 08, 2019 |
EngrSaks:don't spend more than 20-25% of that £1000. And if you want to, collect another card(S). i have 4, and total of about £20,000 credit limit 2 Likes 2 Shares |

perfectme: Do some research into switching your gas and electric supply to Ebico. No standing charge, you only pay for what you use. It's ideal for those who are single and for those with small families. If you are working long hours/week, you will hardly be at home to use energy anyway. Standing charges constitute two thirds of the bill you pay. When I switched two years ago, my average bill for both electric and gas went down to less than £30/month. I currently live in a 4 bedroom house, average bill for both is less than £40/month. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

please everyone i am current on a tier 4 visa but about to apply for a spouse visa. my husband nd i would be living with his parents in a 2 bedroom flat (rented). we have gotten a letter from his parents , do we need a letter from the landlord (owner of the property)?? or the letter from his parents should suffice? |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 4:59pm On Aug 10, 2019 |
kelvinboj: 4/8 months (before collection of visa)......... Tell your cuz to go learn a handy work in the interim.......... |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 5:06pm On Aug 10, 2019 |
Irenenwaka: His parents are tenants and cannot authorise such..... Read through the terms and conditions of tenancy agreement, then seek authorisation from landlord + property inspection report required (possibly)........ My only concern is you not directly having your own accommodation (with tenancy agreement in your details)........ |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by kelvinboj: 6:09pm On Aug 10, 2019 |
Lexusgs430:Wow that's quite a lot considering the fact that he waited for over a year before appeal date came through. UK and unnecessary stress... Hope there's nothing to be bothered about again since appeal has been won? and what handwork do you suggest bro Asides Barbing cos he said he doesn't really like that one and that was what I suggested. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Lexusgs430: 6:17pm On Aug 10, 2019 |
kelvinboj: Any handy work that he loves to do..... It might not make sense now...... But would much sooner than later....... |
