congrats.. this UKVi people sha. People that did theirs and got BRP mails on 17th and 19th January haven't gotten collection mail till now

I think this delay in collection mail is only applicable to Abuja only

chy55:


Thanks for your explanation.

Does it mean that I can use Monzo or Revolut card to withdraw from my naira ? I am asking because that will be the only where I will have fund.

Monzo and Revolut are banks like KUDA in Nigeria. Like somebody else suggested. Lemonade app to convert your naira to pounds and send to your pounds .

No its an individual something I did my Biometric in Abuja 31st Jan and got collection mail same day it was transferred to VAC received by vac after 6 working days standard application. It's just an individual experience.

Uzland and others. I just have few questions.

1) back in those days, to get skilled visa, you needed to earn 70 points, but recently on this thread no one talks of the 70 points anymore and even on the gov website i dont see anything about the points anymore, has it been abolished?

2) if someone finished from polytechnic but not uni. Can the poly degree suffice to stand for english proficiency?

1. You still need to fulfil the 70 points needed to apply for skilled worker visa. 50 points come from getting a job which meets the shortage occupation criteria, while you get 20 points for ing an English language test or proving your proficiency in English language. I am struggling to find the reference on the UK government website but if you can do your research, you will find the information on gov.uk

2. NO

Dee1504 Uzland Have been in the Uk for two months my employer keeps posting me about job provision,with no certain start date in place infact I believe they have nothing no job to give..it’s two months now No steady income through my NI& tax ain’t being paid too..After complaining employer said I can pay 244pounds for them to pay the government my tax and my ni.with full salary slip issued in the process..Can the visa be revoked when salary is not flowing?

Hello. Did you send the email to your employer as I suggested in my last response to you? What was their response? It is ILLEGAL for them to ask you to pay money for tax when you have not even been paid. TAX is to be paid on the money you EARN. If you have done all I asked you to do in my last reply to you and they continually refuse to give you a job, you have 2 options:

1. Report to the Home Office and let them know what your experience has been. Let them know that you are struggling to survive since you haven't started working not to talk of being paid.

2. Start looking for another job aggressively. Target NHS organisations around you. They are very much in need of care workers and will happily recruit you and give you a new COS.

Wishing you all the very best and I hope this helps

YoungG4life:
Hello Guys please I need accommodation in Scotland Kilmarnock East Ayrshire to be precise and surrounding any shared apartment is okay or one bedroom I will appreciate any help here in getting one. Please who is in Scotland willing to give me assist with accommodation will be arriving Glasgow on 28th I need a place to stay before I can rent an apartment within the week.

Bro, secure your own accommodation before you leave Nigeria to avoid stories that touch. You don't want to be homeless in Scotland

YoungG4life:

Yes you can. Monzo was my first salary but I was asked to open a traditional bank later. Now using Barclays. I work in NHS as well.

no

Good afternoon house and kudos to everyone dropping one or two advice on here 🙌🏽

Please, I am a silent reader here and I need help with my dependent’s visa application.

I just got my visa and plan to travel with my wife (we did biometric on different dates) but UKVI is asking for additional documents.


NB: We have been dating for over 2 years now but we don’t stay together. We officially got married on the 3rd of January (few days before I got my COS).

Documents initially ed

Marriage certificate (with our various parents home address)
POF
Police character (carrying her parents home address)
TB test (carrying her parents home address)
WhatsApp chat (date back to Jan 2021)
Random pictures together
Wedding photos

Please, find attached for the details of the mail sent by UKVI. I’m so confused on how else to demonstrate that we have a genuine relationship despite not staying in the same address over the years. Please help.

Thanks

This situation is a bit tricky but I'll provide the following suggestions:

Ask your wife to change the address of her own bank to your address and both of you should print and submit bank statements for at least, the last 3-6 months. You can add electricity bills and any other bills that has your name and address. Newspaper publication of change of name might be useful if you have not done that already.

You may also want to write a letter to them, letting them know that you and your wife are newly married and have not lived together before marriage as it is against Nigerian customs for couples to co-habit before marriage. I will stop here and allow others contribute.

I hope this will be helpful and wish you the best

Thanks for your response sir. I submitted WhatsApp chat for over two years, I would have provided more than that but I misplace my phone that time and I didn’t back up my chats so I lost them.

Regarding the bank statements, I transfer money a lot to her but with a different bank (bank different from the one I submitted as POF). Will that fly please?

From the mail received, the VO is more particular about the address and I’m so confused

As suggested, write a comprehensive letter to back up the address. They think like Oyibo and not Nigerian

God bless you sir for this.

We’re already working on changing her address on her bank . Please can I submit a different bank statement from the one I used for POF (the one used for solely used for POF and doesn’t have enough transaction duration) but I have other banks with enough transactions.

Also, we’ve started working on the letter to best describe our customs and traditions regarding our marriage.

One more thing please, how long does it take for newspaper publication to come out?

We have just 10 days
