HI

However, there is an important point to emphasize. Such requirements should be made clear from the outset, and not applied retrospectively. I.e., a person under the impression that 40,000 GBP will be enough for an extension should not be told, once he pays the application fee and moves in here, tha...

Its very simple. The government have the answer already, ie cut immigrant numbers, but they need to find the question to fit their answer. The question is simple. Go ask companies if they need Tier 1 and at the same time indicate that their is an alternative Tier 2 which locks them to their company...

Teir 1 is not being protected compared with Teir2 , MAC would recommend stringent measures for 1. Students 2. Workers 3. Families They would try to cut the link between work and settlement in the long term. Watching the company reps on ICT visas. they are totally opposed to the fact of bringing in a...

With all the hind-sight, I wouldnt have come out of my country and the position I was in, if I have a second chance. Unfortunately, I cant go back in time or having lived here I can't go back to the same position I was in. But who can determine the future??? :? :?

It has been so unfortunate in your case that this had happen. Did you try submitting a formal complaint to BHC Chennai regarding this. Appeal is a long process as you would know. I personally feel thretening them would not help.

Hi

I agree with Sush. Just to add the ECO need to be satisfied that an applicant will not claim any public funds. Hence people show extra evidence than asked in the guidance notes. Particularly regarding accomodation and relationship with the dependants. http://www.ukvisas.gov.uk/en/ecg/maintenanceacco...
