As much as we expect an upward trajectory, do not ignore the warning signs.

Crypto is market driven by social media, currently there is news the US may ban crypto as as it did in the 1930's on gold, if this is true then another dip and dump is imminent.

Central banks such as China, European Union, Britain, India, Carribbean are developing their own digital currencies which will be active in less than 4 years from now.

The only reason why marrow is no flying right now is due to institutional adoption, once them comot hand for crypto market, we can all imagine what will happen. Whales will crash BTC to $4k overnight.

Hello guys, Hope Nigerians in London are safe. Apparently Coronavirus is clearing up ethnic minorities or rather having a disproportionate impact on people from ethnic minority backgrounds.

Not sure why. Try to refresh it once you open the link.

Yes I have travel history


Sorry about the refusal man. I am not an expert on this sort of thing but my advice will be to reapply and address the points that were raised for the refusal like the cost of your travel does not tally with how much you earn per month.

Address those points with evidence and you should get the visa I reckon

You can do both. A permanent role is very important as it ensures a regular guaranteed cash flow every month to pay regular bills like mortgage etc. Contracting/locumming pays a better rate, however, it isn't regular nor is it guaranteed. In my opinion, it's better to be in a permanent role paying a minimum of circa £65,000/year, and then do some contracting/locumming probably 3-4 times a month on the side to take the overall annual income to circa £75,000-£85,000. I think any income above this for a professional is simply working to pay for Her Majesty's monthly holiday.

A permanent role for £65000 a year. Is that in the IT Industry. The last contracting role I worked as a case handler for TSB was around 45k a year and that was to help with their system migration chaos in 2018.

Where do you guys this job for £75000-£80000 from?? Right now I'm back on a perm role for Aviva which is not even paying very well. I'm looking to find a decent contracting role anywhere in the UK well apart from Scotland.

It depends on you and your situation. Generally contracting pays better and is more tax efficient (at least for now). Sometimes it may take a while between contracts, depending on your skill set.

What Skills pays the most currently in the UK market. I'm looking to go into project management as I know a friend's husband who is currently as a contractor on £550 a day rate.

Lol at inspector grumpy. Good day guys, I have a question for Nigerians living and working in the UK. In terms of Jobs which is better, a permanent role or a contracting role which to be honest pays better in the short run as mostly are daily rate however the job is not as secured as a permanent one.

Una think say Oyinbo people nor get sense. They will allow nigerians to come and work hard in their country. Nigerians will send remittance home meaning money going away from UK economy.

All UK has to do is figure out a way to get all that money in one lump sum. They Use court sey they want to seize 9.6billion worth of asset from Nigeria.

The funny thing is people on here are making jokes about it. It will make Nigeria worse off in the long run. Take it from me if Brexit goes south for the UK economy which it will, Nigeria and all other British colonies will help get the UK economy back up either through hooks or crooks.

May God give you more energy to shave all their hairs.

No responsible male student carries bushy hair or dreadlocks.
I stand to be corrected.
Technically speaking; a bushy haired student is a blockhead because the hair prevents wisdom from reaching their brain.

Shame on any parent whose son has a bushy hair.

Decency and morality must be instilled by force since parents have failed in their primary responsibility of raising decent kids.
I wish this could be tagged an OPERATION SHAVE THEM ALL and extended to our churches and police roadblocks.

I hear over 60% of males in Nigeria below 32 now wear dreadlocks or overgrown hair.

Technically with the comment in bold. You are an idiot

OP is a holder of EuFam Resident permit. This is a resident permit given to non-eu family member of EU Citizen exercising their right to live and work in another member country. It is also know as Article 10 residence permit. This permit is powerful and stronger that ordinary local resident permits. The permits allows holders to visit all EU/EEA countries without an entry visa, so far they are travelling with the EU citizen. If traveling alone, they require to carry a copy of EU citizen passport and proof of relationship eg marriage certificate if it’s a spouse. Also since the OP is spouse of EU citizen, he can apply for visa to any EU countries free of charge under EU free movement laws. Hope this clarification help.



Cheers for the clarification

I have an article 10 card. It’s different from a Schengen residence Permit.

Dude I know. The article 10 card you are holding is the one obtained as a family member of an eu citizen.

If you travel alone from any EU country within the schengen area to the UK, unless your Missus is travelling with you or she already leaves in the UK and working for 3 months. You will be denied entry. Speaking from experience

I used to come to this thread 2 years ago, and would read page by page till the last page, back then I had been denied schengen visa four times. (Twice by Sweden, once by Germany and once by Greece) Even Japan denied me ( I didn't intend to go to Japan though, only wanted to "build" by passport). Even though I had traveled with my wife to some low key countries (SA, Singapore, Kenya, Malaysia, Seychelles, Georgia, UAE) the "big" embassies still kept denying me. At some point I thought I would never go to Europe. Fast forward to 2017, I decided to stop applying in Nigeria, got myself a South African residence permit and moved to SA and lived there for about 5months and then went to the German consulate to apply for a Schengen visa. My wife is a Swedish citizen so visa application was free. One thing I noticed while applying in Capetown was there were very few people at the visa application center and everything was smooth and organized. I got a text after two weeks to pick up my passport and there it was - a one year multiple entry visa. Everyone who picked their passport got their visas and it was like a normal thing over there in SA, since South Africans only travel for specific reasons, they rarely overstay their visit. To cut the story short, we visited a few European countries including France and Sweden where my in laws reside and then moved to Netherlands where I applied for a residence permit as a family member of an EU citizen. Application took a little over 6 months and was told to show proof of funds over 10,000 Euros ( Because they don't want me to depend on government grants in the future). Got my residence permit last week and we immediately wanted to "test" it. So we bought our ticket to London! On arrival at the airport the check in agent at Schipol airport wasn't sure if my article 10 card could be used to enter the UK without a visa (Because normal dutch residence card holders require visas to the UK) so we had to wait another 30mins for them to confirm we are OK to board, she later came back and said we good to go. We flew into Gatwick on Friday and I [b]wasn't even stamped in, the immigration officer understood the EU rules and only told me to fill up a landing card[/b]. Moral of the story is never give up... I was rejected too many times I thought I will never make it here, but I never gave up.

When I landed here I thought to myself (Is this the London they always hype for us in Nigeria?) Don't get me wrong though London is quite nice, bigger and much more built up than Holland. Raining and very cold at the moment so not a good time to visit. Heading back to Holland next week. Wishing every UK visa applicant a successful application.

PS( When applying for a visa make sure there's a note attached detailing your itinerary and purpose of visit, it gives whoever is deciding on your case an idea of why you want to visit their country)

You were allowed to fly into Gatwick with a resident permit from the schengen area?? I think you got lucky with that, or maybe you because of your spouse who is an eu citizen.

errr... i don't think so! grin we do not give out resident permit for such behaviour, infact we will querry him for putting himself in danger and members of the public and not calling the police as he is not qualified to confront the robbers.
And also if he injured the robber in the process he will be charged for GBH on the robber, he might even end up in court or deported eventually.

Trust me this conservative government wants to deport all illegals, grin

If no documentations for Cohabitation can be provided, time to start inviting us for the wedding party?
Did you read through required documentations, prior to application? And if you did, you thought a half - baked application might cut it?


Ermm yes I did quite read through the application form and the necessary documentation required. the 2year spouse route seem to me like a plausible and best available route to follow as my tier 4 visa is run out. As for the wedding invitation I bet you having a laugh, that would scream desperation and like I said not ready to settle down yet (not in my plans).

Good guys

Can someone on this thread help me with my current situation. I applied for a spousal visa( being with my partner whom is a British citizen for more than 2years). so I applied through the two year route as I am not ready or making any marriage plans at the moment. I submitted my application with all the evidence I could possibly put together.
Recently I got a letter from the home office asking for more evidence on our cohabitation for 2years. To be honest most of what was being asked for cannot be provided especially the house and tenancy bills as my girlfriend and our brother has got that covered when they got the property. I only pay the electric bills, food and grocery shopping and our virgin media kahuna subscription which was contracted only six months ago. Any advice from the experts on this thread will be appreciated. cheers

Good day Everyone
I am currently in the UK and Prior to my coming to the UK, i and my mother relocated to Italy, where i hold Permanent Residence. i can confirmed i arrived in the UK in June 2011 on a visitor visa to undergo an english course for 3 months. I did a foundation course which I completed in 2012. I went back to Italy and stayed for a year before I applied for valid Entry Clearance under Tier 4 (General) to study your BA Degree. i have now completed my degree and will graduate in August 2016. i have valid Leave until the 17th October 2016. i currently work in sort of a part time employment, earning approximately £800 a month, although this does vary.
However, in January 2014 i met and commenced a relationship with a British citizen. we live together in a 3 bedroom property where her brother also resides.. Although we are in a strong and committed relationship, and intend to marry and have children in the future, you do not wish to do this purely for immigration reasons. Now my worry is I can't show enough evidence that we have lived together for 2yrs as the house and utility bills are already being taken care off by my Girlfriend and his brother. I do contribute by paying for groceries and our virgin media subscription. I'm quite confused as I don't know if I stand a chance
P.S I have been refused a student visa before in 2013 which reapplied for straightaway and got it.
