As a wind-up? If so, it seems to be working!Why would she lie about this?
These days a UK EC has the same sort of characters as on the name/pic of your British passport. A bar code is probably not correct technically but it is that sort of thing. So when the ECO at the UK port of entry scans the visa he/she should get confirmation of that visa on their computer screen. So as you say .... "the IND wouldn't have a record of this" .... exactly! The IND computer system would fail to find it! For the person presenting that false visa, well lets just say it would be a big problem!If a visa is forged surely the IND wouldn't have a record of this; and if it's a good forgery it could get through scanning equipment.
My understanding is in order to have a business visa you have to be associated with a company. Something like this: she works for a company in the Ukraine - they pay her expenses in the UK but her salary is not paid in £. Taxes will in paid under Ukraine law and therefor does not pay UK taxes and she has no NI number and can't claim any NHS benefits. She will not be able to register with a GP. IND will see her being in the UK on a business trip.Jed wrote: Within two weeks of the expiry of her fiancee visa she informed me that she had obtained a business visa for 12 months.
Neither IND or Inland revenue will care about this, but IND will raise questions if she is in breach of the purpose of a business visa.Jed wrote: I was immediately suspicious and reported this to the Home Office.
Forged ? Again he has a business visa but a business visa doesn't allow you be resident and work here.Jed wrote: She also obtained a business visa for a male friend in the Ukraine who joined her in the UK in the summer. She has now admitted to me that she paid a substantial sum of money for a forged visa for herself and her friend. She has also hinted that she may arrange for others to come here illegally from Ukraine. She's also working illegally and earning a very large tax free income which she is transferring to the Ukraine on a regular basis.
Wait untill her VISA expires and she want to stay longer, then she will have to do some explaining, especially if it looks like she has been in the UK the full 12 months. Then your letter to IND will be of significant value when they review her case.Jed wrote: It's now been 7 months since I informed the Home Office of this, and so far no action has been taken. In the interim she has accrued substantial savings which are safely deposited in the Ukraine. I'm extremely angry she is being allowed to get away with this.
