My people, please for dependant on student visa, is middle name really important. Bank statement of the partner shows middle name but other documents doesnt include that name e.g marriage certificate and kids certificates. Also, must the bank statement be stamped on each page if its on banks letterhead. Though the guidance says its not really necessary. @LagosismyHome @justwise @mimilyrics and other good NL family members |

Good morning, kudos to everyone contributing on this thread. Asking the question on behalf of a brother: Question: Please a quick response is needed as he is about to make a decision by paying School deposit tomorrow location is Oxfordshine. his profile: He is Software Developer with paid employment here in Nigeria, he also have his personal business with an average income of like 800k per month, he is also a family man and he live in his own house, presently maintaining 3 cars, wife also have her business running averagely well just to mention but few about him. The Big Question is that he seems to be tired of this country and he is finding every means NOT to raise his children in this country. So the main reason why he wants to travel abroad is to explore every means to stay permanently after study, please how attainable is this plan?. Please for those living in the UK, what is life like for IT professional in the UK? Viz and viz securing a job during and after study (M.Sc) the average living expenses and how attainable is the dream of living a better life. Note: Considering his little status here working as a security guard or shop attendant may not be of best interest ALTHOUGH he is not unaware that nothing good comes in easy way especially in foreign land. Thanks for your prompt responses |

fatima04: I don't think that is a prob, first and last names need to be consistent in her documents and stamping bank statement is not necessary. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by justwise(m): 2:50pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
Teemez: I suggest that he comes in first without his family to weigh up things then decide whether he can hack it in the UK. Does he have kids? |

Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by fatima04: 3:12pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
LagosismyHome: Thanks sis, tried searching but couldn't see any reference. Maybe will just add affidavit and cover letter for peace of mind cos the bank statement is the most important document for dependant. |

Teemez: As a software developer he has a good chance of getting a job after graduation if he is good at it, with the two years post-study work permit program he will have enough time to make that decision. He can come first then bring his family later. |

There are two main universities in Oxfordshire, if he's going to the ivy league one, he's will be in a position to choose any jobs he basically wants to do. Depending on the dev language he's proficient in, he would probably make the same money he already makes in Nigeria here working part time during study and he's almost guaranteed to get a job post study that would probably lead to sponsorship. I work in the industry and know how easy it is to extend an offer and hope the person starts before getting a better offer elsewhere. Teemez: 3 Likes |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by Teemez: 9:26pm On Oct 11, 2020 |
Thanks so much bro, can you please emphasis on the last paragraph. What do you mean by getting a better offer else where? If you dont mind please can he connect with you via telegram, WhatsApp e.t.c as a mentor in his field tennyalad: |

Thanks bro, Living his family behind might not be an option for him, Also, considering house rent in the UK, just curious if his earning of part time job during study will be enough to cater for that without having to source fund from naija? justwise: 1 Like |

AltCtrlDel: File for PR as in Permanent Residency? I’m this UK abi is there another UK? ![]() Even us that have British spouse and children don’t have permanent residency, doctors that have been working here for 4 years don’t have permanent residency, na student ![]() SAP is a software that he can learn. He doesn’t need a degree in it. No need to do a degree in project management (which is even phasing out due to agile practice), supply chain is great but a professional course in it can suffice no need to do a degree in it. Data can’t fail anyone but this person has to know sql, Python and R; they can’t just expect to get a degree in DA and get a Data job. 4 Likes 3 Shares |

fatima04: Middle name is not necessary if it’s not shown on documents. Not all documents include middle name. As far as it’s not letter head it’s fine. You don’t even need it stamped if it’s a UK bank. They can easily call and verify the authenticity of the bank statement if they need to. The stamping madness is mostly needed when it’s a Nigerian bank account because they can’t trust the authenticity easily. |

Teemez: Let the wife come and do the masters. He shouldn’t leave a lucrative job to come here, that’s a huge risk. I don’t advice he leaves his job to come here because he won’t be allowed to do professional work while studying and may need to work in a store or become a carer during his studies, which is why wifey is the best bet (since oga na big man). When she’s done studying, she can then try and get a job. If she gets a professional job, the kids and the man can move and he can leave his job in Nigeria to hunt here. Since he will be coming in as an experienced dev, getting a job may be easy, however, he won’t get the big pay he used to get during the first year (due to not having UK work experience which matters to most companies). After a year or two, he can aim to become a senior Dev and can earn between 50 and 60 if it’s a good organisation (but this is for specialised languages like swift). Wish him the best. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Teemez: Hang on. If he is paid 800k monthly in Nigeria, he must be experienced enough to apply for a job from Nigeria, he doesn’t need to come here to apply and IT is part of shortage list. The only problem is this might take time. Another way would be the T1 route. He seems to be rich, he should check what he needs to sponsor himself through the T1 route (Technation visa). 1 Like |

Aphrodite007: Thanks for the detailed response. I wouldn't precisely know if it's permanent residence or green card he called it. But he mentioned something about staying in the UK for years. He's coming to the UK for masters degree with the hope relocating with his family but he hasn't really figured out the kinda job he would take up there. Thanks. 1 Like |
