Best of luck, however, to anyone who is planning to make an application to the Home Office, please consult an immigration adviser. You can even go to the Citizens Advice Bureau for free. Immigration law is very complicated; some of the issues mentioned here could have been easily foreseen by a solicitor and therefore avoided, especially when paying for a priority service, which is more risky.
For proof of cohabitation… they need 12 documents. If you attach a joint account thats 1. They need 6 documents addressed to both of you or 12 documents send individually. So if u attached a document sent to you and your hubby individually in same address thats not a problem but that counts as 1 each, you will therefore need 6 each to make 12. So the bills addressed to you too should be 6 or 12 individuals. So if u have a joint account thats 1, if council tax is in both names thats 2, bank statement each thats 3(1 for him and one for you together is 1), then you can add tenancy agreement of mortgage statement, phone bills, electricity, gas… so yea it needs to be dated as far back as 2yrs ago also and not jst the last 6 months.
Please Nne we really need that video of how to do change of name in the Uk ohhh because I’m like you I didn’t change my maiden name before relocating…. Anyways congratulations on your new status I’m very excited… I already watched your video on it. Again please Nneoma this is very important to me, I’m interested in knowing the English exam your husband took in place of Ielts for application of the ILR … because you said it not as hard as Ielts…. Please help your sister it’s for my husband. I’m waiting for your feed back, take care love
sorry i'm just seeing your comment. he did the B1 SELT test. i also talked about it in the video where i explained the ILR application process for dependants
😃😃 Thank you. it all boils down to personal preference. using your maiden name has no implications on any UKVI application. as long as you have your marriage certificate, you are covered.
Congratulations in advance. But if I may ask I thought dependants weren't to write the English proficiency test IELTS. Can you throw more light please in your spare time 🙏
Hi, i'm just seeing your comment. Dependants are required to still write the test. it's only a few that are exempted like the very young and the very old. I also explained the type of english test dependants are required to take in the video where i talked about how to apply for ILR for dependants
Congratulations in advance because it would end in praise,thanks for this eye opener!! Uk and it’s wahala here and there… But is it true ILR is for 3years now and not 5years?
Thank you. The duration of stay in the UK before you are eligible for ILR depends on your visa type. For skilled workers, it is still the same 5 years. nothing changed. For students, it is 10 years. For some visa types like the innovator founder visa, it is 3 years.
From my understanding, it's only for those that English is not their first language. i don't know if Naric will be accepted for those that did their basic qualification in the UK or any other country where English is the first language.
The general rule is that if you have already proven your English language with your former visa, you don't need to write or prove your English language.
Thank you so much this is the kind of information TH-cam need to be telling us not uk this uk that all this problem Nigeria in uk are having are from TH-cam
😂 thanks. i don't think the problem is youtube oo. its those greedy people that turned something that is supposed to be free to a business and most of them are not on youtube. it will be hard for a youtuber to knowingly engage in those dubious activities because it will spoil their public image and brand. It is not worth it.
yes i waited and started counting from the day i landed in the UK. some people would say the 5 years starts counting from the day the visa was approved but for me i didn't want to risk that amount of money so i waited instead. 1 month is nothing compared to 5 years of waiting.
This story is quite unsettling but good thing you gave us heads up by saying if you put it out, means everything has been resolved. Thank God for you. I have a question though-can one use UKNARIC as proof of English for ILR application?
Thanks. my husband did not do NARIC evaluation. We decided to Just do the english test Instead of spending money for Naric and still being asked to do the test. He did language Cert SELT B1 for listening and speaking only.
No just the most recent payslip. 1 payslip and the amount on the payslip has to be visible in the bank statement you are providing. pls check out this video for the required documents th-cam.com/video/8t_hGCvj9sw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZaSCI-gIbqgXLC6n
At the end of your application you will be told what to submit. For me i have 2jobs. For my main job dey requested 6months payslip and for my part time job they requested 12 months payslip.
they didn't ask me to upload it. even though it has expired, i got my nmc pin and first skilled worker visa with it so i was not required to do it again or submit a new one that is why it's advisable to use the UKVI ielts when applying for your work visa instead of the standard ielts
not to upset you but i have heard that CGFNS does not think the UK nursing qualification is comparable to the US standard. UK trained nurses may have to take extra courses to meet the requirements so you should start by looking into what these courses are first.
i'm not 100% sure of the answer to this question. but if that qualification is not a basic one that is like a BSC then it may not be accepted but don't take my word for it. i may be wrong
To prove you have permission to stay in the country as a skilled worker. Your employer gives you the COS and they is what you use to apply for your work visa.
Testimony lo ma jaaaa si. Quick question please, for someone with company A CoS & have use 1yr 5month and later switch employer to another company B CoS, will home office ask for both CoS when applying for ILR?…
Proof of English proficiency for someone who has lived in the country for 5 years, doesn't make sense. Even if the person could speak English initially, I'm sure the person will be able to speak English, it's common sense. Why stress to start changing names🤔
That logic doesn’t apply in the US. many, if not most non English speaking immigrants can spend decades living in the US and still not speak English well enough to be understood by an english speaker.
Best of luck, however, to anyone who is planning to make an application to the Home Office, please consult an immigration adviser. You can even go to the Citizens Advice Bureau for free. Immigration law is very complicated; some of the issues mentioned here could have been easily foreseen by a solicitor and therefore avoided, especially when paying for a priority service, which is more risky.
Very true.
thanks so much for this bit of information. it is really timely

Why the stress of changing names ? One can actually retain the original names to avoid all these stress.
Thank for sharing your experiences.
You are right but i did not like the idea of my husband and daughter having one last name while i'm the only odd one out.
No worries my favourite,it will be granted to you,God is with you.
Thanx for the information,on point as always
Amen, thank you so much
Always try get an immigration adviser or solicitor to help you with application process as it be complicated
God will be with you in this journey.

Yeah, surprisingly ILR is three years now not five. It is great 👍 especially for couples that's needs to unite and start cohabitation soon
Thanks so much for sharing.

Congratulations 🎉👏
Thank you so much
really informative. Please st what point does your partner have to write his english exam
I lost my card in 2022 have applied twice for it still no reply so annoying
Congratulations 🎉. Does it mean that everyone must write English Test (I.e IELTS) before getting ILR in the UK 🇬🇧?
From my understanding, it's only for those that English is not their first language. i don't know if Naric will be accepted for those that did their basic qualification in the UK or any other country where English is the first language.

oh really
I am in the same situation with employer.Thanks for the information .
NAIRC is acceptable
Wish you all the best

God Almighty Allah will do it in your favour .. U will get it with ur husband and baby.. Wishing u good luck
Amen. Thank you so much
Congratulations 🎉.
Thank you
Do you apply for ILR at exactly the finish of 5 years,for exampl e if one came in june 2020,when can it be possible to apply for ILR?
yes i waited and started counting from the day i landed in the UK. some people would say the 5 years starts counting from the day the visa was approved but for me i didn't want to risk that amount of money so i waited instead. 1 month is nothing compared to 5 years of waiting.
This story is quite unsettling but good thing you gave us heads up by saying if you put it out, means everything has been resolved. Thank God for you.
I have a question though-can one use UKNARIC as proof of English for ILR application?
Thanks. my husband did not do NARIC evaluation. We decided to Just do the english test Instead of spending money for Naric and still being asked to do the test. He did language Cert SELT B1 for listening and speaking only.
If you had a Vida and proof your English language then, then you don't need English language for ILR
I think she is asking about dependants. You don't need to do any English test to get a dependant visa
What other documents did you add to your application? Did you add your payslips for the whole 5 years?
No just the most recent payslip. 1 payslip and the amount on the payslip has to be visible in the bank statement you are providing.
pls check out this video for the required documents th-cam.com/video/8t_hGCvj9sw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ZaSCI-gIbqgXLC6n
At the end of your application you will be told what to submit. For me i have 2jobs. For my main job dey requested 6months payslip and for my part time job they requested 12 months payslip.
Congratulations already
Council tax is an example of letter that has your name and your husband's name
Thank you, we don't pay council tax in NI
Hey, your IELTS would have been expired 5 years later,did you still use it?
they didn't ask me to upload it. even though it has expired, i got my nmc pin and first skilled worker visa with it so i was not required to do it again or submit a new one that is why it's advisable to use the UKVI ielts when applying for your work visa instead of the standard ielts
Best of luck
Thank you so much
Congratulations in advance sis ❤
Thank you so much 😊
Wetin u wan go do for US again. See big haas when u dey stay. Nne getat😂. Good luck to you Sis!

Hi Schola. How much is priority for ILR ?
Priority is an extra £500 per person
I which you best of luck
Hi. I would like yo register as a nurse in US after studies here in UK. Please advise
Write NCLEX in UK and also, there are recruitment agencies that can help you with the recruitment in the UK
not to upset you but i have heard that CGFNS does not think the UK nursing qualification is comparable to the US standard. UK trained nurses may have to take extra courses to meet the requirements so you should start by looking into what these courses are first.
Please dont forget to do the change of name
On it already. Thanks
Congratulations. I will be waiting for the video on the process of change of name as well. Thank you.
If u studied in Uk will u need to write the English exam?
i'm not 100% sure of the answer to this question. but if that qualification is not a basic one that is like a BSC then it may not be accepted but don't take my word for it. i may be wrong
No
How much did you pay
Be calming down. ,God will favour u .
Amen. Thank you 😊
Why do you need COS for ILR
To prove you have permission to stay in the country as a skilled worker. Your employer gives you the COS and they is what you use to apply for your work visa.
Please can utility bill be used in place of the letter you mentioned? Like bills that have both your names on them
Utility bill should be ok but to be safe you can also include the house contract so they don't come back to ask for more information
@@ScholasticaUgboka thank you very much
Testimony lo ma jaaaa si.
Quick question please, for someone with company A CoS & have use 1yr 5month and later switch employer to another company B CoS, will home office ask for both CoS when applying for ILR?…
No, as long as company B gives you COS, you should be fine. you can only have 1 valid COS so your new COS cancels the one from Company A
@@ScholasticaUgbokaThank you 🙏
Jesus Christ, did you see the 75yrs man they want to deport back to Ghana though he has lived in UK since 1977😠😠😠😠😠
i did o, thank God he later got his settlement approved
@@ScholasticaUgboka thanks for the update 🙏🙏👏👏
@Goodyear_222 you are welcome. i'm just now seeing some comments i may have missed
@@ScholasticaUgboka thanks, that's great love 🙏

As long as you weren’t born in the country, you need to prove your proficiency.
It’s the same for other EU countries as well as.
