BOTTOM LINE is that you will end up saving same amount in both countries. i.e 800/900 GBP in UK(for salary of 30-35K) and 60000 INR(for Sal of 10-14 lacs) considering 7-10 years of experience in IT. Please bear in mind that this is a ball park figure ,but after staying in UK for 4 years and in India...

Chill..We all need to understand that "world is flat" and just because u r born in a developed world,it shouldnt mean that you need not compete with some one from 'developing country'.. As far as HSMP for IT goes,my personal experience is that it is good for ppl. having 2-3 years of exp. a...

'quality of life' is very much subjective..I must say that i enjoyed my stay in UK for 3 years.But we missed support after some time..May be we are spoiled and need 'domestic help',but adter a while the whole DIY business was getting out of hand.. Personally we needed support system(read close frien...

I think one more thing to consider is cost of living..earning 30K Gbp is like earning 21 lacs per annum(net would be 2000 GBP per month ).However you also spend 1500 GBP(1.25 lacs per month in UK)..So ultimately you will end up SAVING 500 GBP(40000 INR).. So please consider your expenses as well whi...

Hello,

This might not be the right forum./section..But still.

I might be coming to Leeds..Any 1 who is in Leeds and would like to offer me accomodation for few days?I would really appreciate it
Thanks

Well,you again apply for extension ,i know lot of ppl. who have done extension n. no. of times (some times because their clock got reset due to absense). I had called HO about my visa ,as i was in similar situation..They told me that they wont give even a day more then 3 years as its not as per rule...

2000 GBP for 5 months is very less...At least 1000 GBP per month (even if u stay in shared accomdation/cook food etc)...

What will old employer gain by "forcing" you to work for 3 months? They just want to harass you..The whole approch towards an employee changes after he/she resign..People look through you.. You wont be given any critical job and some one else would be told to double check the work you do,i...

Hmm..Interesting...Its funny what foreign country can do to people..I know a lot of friends who came to Bombay from South...So Bombay was like an alien place..They would work on weekdays and on weekends ,just laze around at home ,or visit office!!!.It was a differnt life ,but they never complained.....

Depends on which area of UK u stay in..U can be in London and life can be rocking (movies.Asian food ,clubbing etc
),or if u r in a sleepy village then life can be dull and boring..You can always travel by car ,else u will be stuck..

RILR rules might be changing in July 2011..So if you havent got your ILR by July 2011 ,then you might get probationary citizenship when your time is due..But again,they keep moving the goal post..

Hello,

Does UK companies give a relieveing letter/Service employemnt certificate (containing length of employment,Designation ,last slaray drawn etc ) while leaving the organisation (after serving the full notice period etc)?


Thx

How would they know that your photograph is "one month old"?Do they know how you used to look like before a month?? (Unless the photo has some sort of date on it)

This is clease case of "phishing" Recruitment agents think that you are stupid...

I hear in India IT market has picked up ?

Thats true..Now i have started getting calls from India rather then UK (although i am in UK)...

Unfortunately,whatever can be outsourced,will be outsourced .other things will be automated.!!!!!.I was surprised to visit my friendly neighbourhood bank HS** the other day..All 20 odd staff were replaced by ATM/Cash deposit/Cheque deposit machine..I had a query,so i picked up the phone from the bra...

Hmm..I hope HSMP people are covered..If not then i think my decision would be pretty simple..Waiting for the new rules now!!!!

Sushil,which benefit?Child benefit or Home fees benefit?

Thanks oluwa112 )..So in case i leave uk the next day of getting ILR, i need to come back to UK at least once in 2 years ..But then do i need to stay in UK for long? Or can i just enter an exit to keep "ILR"alive?after doing this couple of times, wouldnt the immigration officer come to kno...

Hello All, I have gome through threads on this forum,but couldnt get an answer to my specific questions,hence this query: I am on HSMP,came to UK in JAn 07..Hopefully will get ILR in jan 12 .. But now i am feeling like going back to India .The only thing stopping me is carrot of ILR..So i want to ma...

My Initial thought is that this might be a case of mis-communication ..Dont see any logical reason to deny entry ..

This is just nightmare...They promised some thing else while giving HSMP visa.Then keep moving the goal post (They wait for some one to challenge them in court to stop changes applied retrospctively!!!)

@Raghu ..That is not true.. See this thread: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=42364 The guys has extended visa although he NEVER worked in UK..He just came to Uk during the fag end of his visa to extend it and got the extension...If you get points then you will get extension.. Even i...
