Re: JCWI (Joint council for the welfare of Immigrants)

So what is the job for the above organization?I think they were formed to stand in for the immigrants. I don't know about their job profile! I have not seen a single press release defending us or speaking out against the fee rise. Even at the time of HSMP guys, these organisation's were there but n...

I think you should make a valid application, pay by cheque and then withdraw the application after 7 days!!

Hopefully, it should work out as your friend only wants extra 14 days!!!!

The government is becoming crazy. Some fees are actually five,six times of the real cost!! for examples ILR PEO Main real cost £243, but the fee £1,350 How can we fight it?

They are treating everyone(Tier1, Tier2 and Tier4) with contempt i.e making retrospective changes and expecting us to behave like a dumbo zombie's and accept whatever they throw at us. (Just loo...
