Ram how many of us are in London ? Can you provide some statistics. Next Step - We meet with each other in person, depending on where most of us live - Get a confirmation from those who are willing to pay - Get in touch with HSMP forum guy - Get a strong solicitor on board. We need to take action !!!

It has not changed since last year, the pdf document is only a proposal and it has not gone thru a formal approval.

Response from my MP as follows: As you are aware the minister of state for immigration made a written ministerial statement on 14th March to provide details on the proposed fee increases however there was no debate or vote held in the house of commons in this matter. As such i have written to the mi...

Ram I am with you, lets get 100 people to agree, then let have a meeting point agreed and have an open invite to as many people who can come and meet up. Regardless of the response I say we still contest the govt. even last year they have increased the fee from £1000 or smthing like that to £1500. I...

Lets wait until 6th of April , there are hardly a few days left. They might not have put it as a public news item bc this allows for sufficient days for us to fight back and possibly revert the ruling (low probability). However lets say they announce on the 5th of April and then its already approved...

Wow that was good so looks like they just don't to listen to any rationale ! These same benefits of a t1-g visa are given to other visa cat holders. Spouse visa and t2 they all get perm residency or Ilr as well .

I have not posted here to create an argument , but if we all write to our local MPs and tell them this is going to be presented in parliament on mar 14 atleast there is a probability that it might come down a bit if not back to £750 / dep. I mean lets not be pessimistic and try our level best effort...

THIS IS WHAT I AM SENDING OUT: Dear Sir, I would like to bring to your attention an issue which has been of a concern to a lot of people who are on the Tier 1 migrant visa.

I would suggest lets write to our relevant MPs to take this matter up. Few points to consider: - That we are fine with the increase going up in line with the inflation - How does the increase justify for dependents when most of them are young children who cannot even work - What is the difference bt...
