Lets stop facial arguments initiated and discussed in this respectful forum. HSMP, I advise you to come to this country and try your fortune here. I am in this country for the past 3 years. Native British people are very good from all perspectives (friendly/helpful/co-operative). In an organization,...

Surpisingly, I want to move there and you want to come here. 1).Research in details your earnings aspects before coming here. Don't go by any consultant or agencies word. Be sure you will be able to earn £ 60-£ 65 range. Also research how many companies/opportunities are there to pay in that range...

Yes really helpful , but not many contracts now a days in market . market slightly dullish.


Another qustion, what affect child study has if one has to move from one location to another.

Option 3: Do what I did. Tell the agency sth very close to what you want to earn, BUT do not write down anything on paper. If employer letter sent an application form for you to complete. ignore the salary column. I was paid a crappy £24k cos i didn't know the market but letter moved from £24k st...

Thanks Sakura, Sparo and Ashish,

I feel your advise to be quite helpful.

SYH, I am trying for a contractual option for the past 2 months. Employers not ready to offer more than 3 months contracts and I feel making life unstable for a 3 months contract to be very difficult. Although, if I get a 6 months contract is a really good idea. But with a family, I really prefer a ...

Hi Friends, I have been here in UK since 2.5 years now, I started at £ 35K and now my salary is £ 37K with the same employer. Even changing the employer is not making it go higher to more than £ 40K. My friends in US are earning USD 100K+ and in India are earning INR 15 L+ with a similar or even ...

Thank God,

I filed for Australian immigration in January and by next year, I will land Austalia with an Australian PR. My speculation for this was 100% correct. No honest immigration intentions, making a fool of HSMP people.

I dont really think you can that easily get a job that will give you £ 35 K plus in the initial phase .... chck for your skills in the job sites and understand what you are eligible for and then take a decision :) I agree with you , getting a job of £ 35 K also is not easy in UK; although at US lev...

My only suggestion is :- Evaluate the situation after 2 years , as your age will increase by 2 and then decide what minimum salary is required by you to get that extension after 2 years. But if you aren't intrested in staying after 2 years, thats gr8. Still, if you need to move with your family, its...

Rella, I may join your camp soon and leave this country soon although I have 2.5 years of my FLR still on my VISA. Its better to go back to my home country and lead a stable life in Indian IT industry which is booming as compared to earning £35K here and leading a unstable and uncertain life over he...

Most important is this :- The Home Office said "It is important that those who pass the test at the extension stage are those who will make 'the greatest contribution to the UK economy'." It added that those in Britain under the HSMP would be entitled to a permanent settlement after comple...

And if u do keep the property for 1-3yrs, it wud have appreciated by atleast 10-20% so lets say u bought one for £50,000 and in 2-3yrs wud have gone up to like £75,000 (well all depends on the location, types of house, bedroom) but hope u get wot i'm tryin to say. Property market in UK is already a...

(1) As HSMP visa holder, can we buy a house in UK? (2) What are the tax implications? (3) What happens if one does not get ILR? Can we continue to retain the property? 1). You can buy a house but generally we get a loan after the VISA is extended and with showing some credit history. 2). I don't th...

My employer has a offering of £ 243 per month which I can use for paying child Nursery fee and which will reduce my gross taxable income by £ 243 per month. As this reduction in gross makes a profit of around £ 43 per month to me by saving extra payment of NI and Income Tax, My question is whether t...

For Paramjit:- The HO caseworker's are bound to the documents it sees and makes a decision. As majority of HSMP applicants are from India, seeing a SARAL Form has become very common to the caseworker. Applying wothout a SARAL Form is suicidal for an Indian applicant. Loosing SARAL is suicidal, you m...

Hi Param, I feel sorry for your decision. But take this in positive only, May be God has saved you from this.. File your review explaining why you feel caseworker's decision is wrong, but start looking for other possible alternatives. This is not End of World , You may get more better opportunity th...

Got the text translated to English. "Home Office leaked reliable information about subj. Summer will be a separate form and gaidans need to prove that earned in the last five years £ 200,000, IELTS 8 everything else as FLR (HSMP)." It seems to be the same my lawyers specualted a month ago ...

I agree with you. HO job is not nice and easy. Time is very powerful and I may also have a bad time tomorrow , or the ILR rules may even become more different in the future thowing me out as well. So, I certainly have sorrow feeling for those getting affected as I don't know what may happen with me ...

Are you seriously suggesting they have deliberately target HSMP holders just because lots of them are Asian? No, Not that way. Please don't misunderstand me, but it is the other way round. Unfortunately, most of HSMP applicants are Asians (Ind, Pak, Bangl, etc. etc.) and hence majority getting affe...

shockboy2000 wrote: changing rules after they come to country? yes

This is sufficent as majority of HSMP applicants are Asians, not australians, EUs. So, target is a certain community.

Guys cool off,


facial or not-racial; People are getting affected and even they are genuine HSMP candidates. Any body can face bad days in any scenarios and may be affected.

So, a law suite looks good. Lets see what would be the outcome.

Relax.

He concluded by stating that "it is not true to say that, as a result of approving an application under the HSMP, promises were given that a three-year extension and subsequent indefinite leave to remain would be automatically, granted." The message is clear ... , This is Advanced Form Of...

Things look ok for you, Initially put less amount in pension as one gets it after the age of 55, although one can get even if one is not in UK but try putting the least in pension, zero if possible :), take other things as petrol and other coupons etc. Rest looks good for you. You can get a good 2nd...
