So they've made it retrospective again. Guys, could you kindly explain this part: has had the permanent permission for the whole of the qualifying period of the document http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/policyandlaw/immigrationandcitizenshipbill/draftbill/draftimmigrationbill...

Chain Email.

Dear all,

Please forward the email at http://www.vbsi.org.uk/index.php?page=raise_awareness to all the people you think who might be interested in our campaign and joining the demonstration.

I have just done it. Feels good.

Could you give the reference?

Some feedback from VBSI's letter to MPs.

See VBSI news:

http://www.vbsi.org.uk/index.php?mact=N ... eturnid=15

I thank "aj77", "a11", "tobiashomer", "G M" and many other people for their contribution to the letter.

I thank all of you who pointed out errors and English problems on the VBSI website too.

Thank you all for your support to VBSI. Some Q&As that might interest you: (1) Q: Does VBSI need help? A: Yes. VBSI indeed needs donation, volunteers and members. These are essential for any organisation to survive and win a battle. (2) Q: So why hasn't VBSI started to receive donation? A: VBSI ...

I don't know how I'm going to proceed at this point. I'm just providing this information to all of you here to see what we're facing. The Home Office have an answer for everything and are able to twist ink to say what they want it to say in opposition to reality. I need to think about what I'm goin...

Agree with aj77 and tvt! Based on the analysis, we have the reason to believe that we can gain support from many politicians who care about the future of their party. About 3/4 of the 200,000 will be voting in the next general election in 2009/2010 (2002 to qualify in 2007, 2003 in 2008 and 2004 in ...

A detailed estimation of the number of WP, HSMP and UK Ancestry visa holders who have been directly affected by the change:

Conclusion: over 100,000 (excluding dependents).

She has her limitation at the operational level. This is why we need VBSI to form a platform that can join up efforts by different groups. If each community has got their own "CL" then the VBSI will be able to bridge them up and "make the case wider". Nevertheless, your sugguesti...

These companies not only wants to discourage their employees from getting ILR - they often try to foil their attempt (so that they can't quit their companies easily) for getting ILR. It is terrible! rg1, could you pass on this website: Voice of Britain's Skilled Immigrants www.vbsi.org.uk to your f...

What do you think will be the repercussions if Charles Clarke and/or Tony McNulty lose their jobs? Will this have any effect on our campaign to end retroactive application of the four-to-five year rule? 2 comments: (1) I wonder if TM is or has lost his job too? (2) Depending John Reid's stance and ...

No luck in today' programme. :oops: I have submitted two questions, which are provided by andhraguy and myself. They did not select our questions. I have tried to raise my hand several times when they were talking about C Clark's capacity to do his job, but unfortunately, no luck again. Well anyway...

This is what I drafted for chain mail. Can you please proof read it. Again looks like its getting very long.. any way to make it short. ? The Chain Email is a brilliant idea. It is difficult to use one email to introduce the background, present the arguments, report the progress and request actions...

LESSONS TO LEARN: DO WE HAVE A FAULT? We as WP and HSMP should also learn the lessons from this current matter, which are: (1)In the future, we need to pay more attention to politics and policies (2)Right now, through the current campaign, we need to form our own organisation so that when we need to...

THE CENTRE OF THE ISSUE I think the politicians are always very good at denying things, or just say "I disagree". So, I feel the only way to pin the HO and the government down is to highlight the "unfairness" of the change. OK, the hardship might not be very severe for many of us...

Ugh. I'm sick and tired of these canned answers from Tony McNulty, Charles Clarke and their ilk. It seems like they've decided on a position and are holding tight. What really annoys me is how they insist that no one mentioned anything about changes to the residency period during the consultancies ...

Court action and Demonstration will be necessary if lobbying and EDM approaches fail. What we need to do AT CURRENT STAGE are: (1) concentrate on lobbying + EDM, which supports each other; (2) organise ourselves to prepare for future court action and/or demonstration. The Action 1 (ie the poster ide...

We should also consult with doctors for future strategy to achieve the common goal

Agree!

I want to send another letter to my MP and I am wondering, how people usually address an MP: Dear Mr. X, or Dear Sir or something else. It does not really matter but I wonder if there is any convention? Also which EDM should we ask them to sign: 1992 or 1912? To Mr/Mrs/Ms First Name Surename, Dear ...

if we can prove that they breached their own code of conduct in this, it can be a life saver, showing they have not consulted, or considered the likely effects of this change at all. how did you discover, how can we prove this? http://www.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/regulation/ria/index.asp also, it is be...

Good!

I think we need to list out every single negative effect caused by this unfair change and include those in the letter to MP i didn't mean "hardship", i mean the negative effects to the economy, society and country, in detail, so they can picture it. Also, we need to question what's the re...

Dear all, You might have seen the Overall Strategy (OS) that I posted today. Base on the OS, I was trying to estimate how much work needs to be done and how many people are required if we want to get the work done. So below please see a draft Action Plan (AP). You will find out that in the AP, some ...

Dear all,
This is a draft Overall Strategy for our campaign.
