Just curious to find out If a Person is applying for HSMP extension which form is to be used if any one can create a link; i would appreciate that. Secondly wana know can one show an expired ILETS (Expired Nov 2003) as an english language proficeincy proof coz i understand that getting a letter from...
Its very good that you have done research on issue of Skilled Immigration but i think there is always a room for improvement. You should try to do some further research about the Income levels in UK. I think the Income criteria set for a young person is not at all realistic.On basis of my personal a...
Rich ZA It should not be a question whether the HMSP's holder are in demand in UK or not. This should have been assessed by Home office while they applied for Initial HSMP. Once assessed and approved by Home office there is no logic to say that most of them have skills which is no more in demand; co...
Yea but unfortunately things are portrayed differently. I would advice you to read a recent publication / report of Immigration watch. They claim immigrants are contributing only 4 pence a week to UK economy. They didn't categorize the different segments of Immigrants but obviously even the general ...
Yea i strongly agree with Sjgul
I did heard that Britishers are ecentric people but now i have practically learnt the lesson that they are not only ecentric but unreliable.
I agree that there are better countries to live and earn. But HSMPs community stands no where. 90% won't be able to get extensions/ ILR due to these recent rules. Even if we have to go back to our Home countries we will be in a same situation when we arrived in UK. We will have to take a start from ...
I am not aware of the Time that took by Home office to process their cases! Reasons of refusal was mostly due to income criteria. I am in similar situation my ext is due by end of this month.I don't know what shall i do i can't score for income ; coz i was given one year visa and during one year i w...
I come across at least three applicants who applied though not rejected but likely to be rejected coz they are given 28 days to switch over to work permitt. I am aware of one case where his extension was not rejected and given a time to arrange a work permitt, that person applied for workpermitt thr...
Dear Pentaiema I do not agree and i have personally seen people IN UK who are illegal and getting all the benefits. I think the HSMPs who came to UK were the cream strata in their respective countries & they didnt had to forged docs to come into UK. It was in fact Home Office Juicy but deceitful...
Needa khan we are sailing in same boat. I am also given a one year visa so in principle we should be given at least one year more extension if we have to be dealt under new rules. Another things; in order to switch from HSMP to work permitt, i think one needs to be with that employer for at least 8 ...
I think becoming an illegal is more beneficial in current circumstances coz illegal immigrant / failed asylum seekers are offered Cash Incentive for voluntary return and also if they prefer to stay they dont pay any taxes at all.
The most convincing reason i can or i would give is that Inconsistant immigration policies for Immigrants in UK. Under new rules i don't feel confident that I can get a settlement in UK therefore will get a UK qualification and go back to my country where job prospects will be good if i am holding a...
I think I personally have learnt the lesson that ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD. Throughout the world UK has built its image of the MODEL state but to be honest they are not reliable and you can't trust them at all. Rather they have deprived different countries from their skilled People by mode of de...
I came under HSMP scheme and after trying for 6 months didnt get a job so got admission in a hope to UK education which will help me to get a job.
My query is can i swicth from HSMP to student while i am in UK or do i need to go back to my home country to apply for a student visa.
I strongly agree Its not easy task to find a job in UK with overseas experience. This is my personal expererience after arriving in UK. I fid it very difficult to get a job despite my experience of working with British Embassy on a high profile post. I got a job after struggling for 6 months. No one...
I am in a similar position. My initial one year visa will expire in end of jan07. In previous rules, i could have got extension but now it seems impossible. I still dont understand what they think of HSMP ? we are not Magicians; it takes much time to open bank a/c; getting national insurance number ...
Hi Changes in extension criteria is blow to me becoz my current visa is expiring in end of Jan07. I initially got one year EC, i got a job on temp basis last month, permanent offer is based on getting my extension. Pay is not very good. What should i do I am 30 did master from Pak equavalent to UK b...
Yes it is possible to talk to you case worker. In my case there was a typing mistake in my approval letter and i contacted HO and spoke to my case worker. Secondly some times they do give information on phone about decision on case. In my case i tried twice and both the time i was informed that my c...
I am taking it from a case worker point of view. In UK 15 year study is considered as NVQ 4/ First Degree Professional qualification - BA/BSC/CACA/ CSA. So even if some one completes a 16 years study from Pakistan ( MA/ MSC) they fall into this category of Graduate level. I am not sure about B.Ed bu...
