Once you get there, there is no way they can force you to work for them only since hsmp or tier 1 is an open visa. So I could see what they are doing and why and it could be very innocent.

This looks atrocious. Did they inform you about: - What type of accommodation will they provide? - How much money will they provide as "other expenses"? Would that include travel money for going to interview locations, ?etc. On the face of it 50K INR caution money is nothing to worry about...

Would not putting an NA confuse the case worker? For eg. what if someone has NA as the middle initial? I would suggest leaving it blank would obviously mean that you dont have any middle/other name. The other query is, while filling up the applicaiton form, if i come across a filed that is not rele...

Assuming that 320 7(A) might not be applicable to OP (though I beg to differ), the OP can still be refused under Section 320 (15) - "(15) whether or not to the holder's knowledge, the making of false representations or the failure to disclose any material fact for the purpose of obtaining an i...
