uk visa, trouble with sollicitor

Post by mfm34 » Thu Sep 10, 2009 5:22 pm

Hello,
I am a friend of a Philippinian woman who asked the help of the sollicitor: "[Name deleted}".
A part from the fees she had to entertain a sexual relationship with the owner, the man used as excuse that was to grant her staying in UK. I am sure you find this as disgusting as I find it.
How is it possible to have justice? If the visa is released can be taken away if entering legal actions?
In the mean time that I try to understand how to help her out, please be sure you don't use this service: [name deleted]
and please let everybody know which person works there.

for a better world.

Sincerely Yours
Dobrovan

PS: I am sorry that my previous post there was a url link, it was probably bad netiquette, but please let the post here, so that noone else shall have this bad experience. Please understand how important is to spread the word.

Look, this is unfounded nonsense, how do you/we know your friend just wanted a bit of hot action with the solicitor, was rejected and now is pursuing a vendetta? Or if any of this ever happened?

I've got three arseholes from which I can speak out of two. Or have I? Get the point?

Thank you for your reply,
I am asking advice, what exactly should be needed in order to carry on the case.
Of course, the one you pointed out is the first obvious opinion. But sadly, the truth is different, now the question is, how to show it.
Did someone else had a similar experience? How did they manage?

sincerely,
Dobrovan

Nothing, one persons word against another, if any of this is true which I doubt.

How do you know it's true? Have you seen them at it? Think about it, there are three sides to every story like this, the protagonists views, and the truth.

[Name deleted] are, according to their website, registered with OISC. If the lady has any complaint she should take it to them.

It is a completely despicable act, and gross professional misconduct.

The matter should be reported to the Law society/ OISC, and hopefully this solicitor will be struck off and cease from these repugnant act.

That is if, of course the legal expert was involved in those abhorrent act.

Or, for balance, this woman should be removed from the UK for offering sëx for a visa.

We've no idea here who's done what to whom, the OP hasn't offered any proof or evidence.

I see your point, yes, the situation is very tight.

OISC complaint has already been sent, so, as I see the problem is to obtain something better than "word versus word".

Thank you so much for the feedback.

What about the actual visa application? What was she applying for and where? Was it granted?
There's no question about "s e x for a visa", because the advisor doesn't issue the visa. It's only about the method of payment for advice, and whether the advisor infringed his professional code by accepting or demanding such favours in lieu of cash.

Thanks Mr Rusty for pointing out that this is not a matter of S E X for visa, something that resembles a scandal that marred the Home Office few years back.

This is a professional violating all the ethical and moral codes attached to his profession. He used his position of trust to exploit a woman in a very vulnerable state.

If this matter is proven to be true. It is very serious indeed.

I don't think the victim should have to face deportation, because her status is not regularise.

That a very inhumane way of thinking. That the woman is always in the wrong when these things occur.

People come here for advise not to provide you with the evidence.

I agree with the rest of the guys, if they are OISC registered complaint can be made against him.
