Hi, I am interested in knowing any reputed agents for HSMP as well. Could anybody share their name / contact details please ? Apart from workpermit.com, I have heard of definitive-workpermits.com, ValueVisas.com. But no idea about how good are they. Any prior experiance / remarks would be highly app...

Thanks ASAS1...
I did visit their website.. there is no address / telephone number.
Would like to talk to them personally. Mind if I ask you their contact details...? I have sent a mail to them from their website's contact us link. There is no reply yet...
Thanks !

Hi ASAS1,
Congrats !!!
Can you either post here or PM me the solicitor details please.
Thanks !!!

Also has somebody heard of or used http://www.definitive-workpermits.co.uk as solicitors ? Any feedback on them would be highly appreciated.

We would need 100 people if everyone is contributing 200 and not 1000.

If we can get together 200 HSMP + WP people.. then every one needs to contribute 100. Do you guys think it is possible ? I think so...
Obviously count me in.
Great work Paul !!!

Thanks Indian_In_Uk.. much appreciated !!!

Requesting to help in following.. I am on a work permit. I work for an Indian Company and based at client's site in UK. If I apply for HSMP and assuming for a moment that I would get it, Can I continue to work for the same employer ? i.e. without informing the employer that I have switched from WP t...

Thanks all for the replies..
Looks like ICTs will come under Tier2 unless they change the rules again retrospectively..
Tickle.. If you get the reference of this news that switching will reset your stay, then could you please inform us..? Will do the same if I see it somewhere..
Thanks again ..

Thanks for the reply garichd..
Is there any reference on the IND website or somewhere else that people like us will be in tier 2 when implemented.. Could you let me know the link please ?
As I could not find any reference of the source, I was wondering if that would be the case next year..

I agree.. You said it what i fear.. After the introduction of tier system, some work permit holders wont qualify for ILR even after staying here for 5 years. It is as unfair as with the doctors, as a person who came to this country two weeks before will have a british passport by 2007 spring and the...

Request all members, moderators to share their opinion please..

Your views, comments please.. I am in UK on a work permit by Indian IT company for last 4 years. I missed my ILR by couple of weeks. My current Work Permit is valid till 31/12/2006. For now, I am assuming that extension of WP for another year will not be a problem. I am curious to know what will hap...
