I don't know that the Government will be on its way on this account.Smit wrote:The proposed new fees for some types of applications have far exceeded my expectations...for a service that used to be free under the Tories...This Government is definitely on its way out!!
Says 'proposed' fees tho! Any point in hoping? Thought not!jes2jes wrote:If all these charges are just for postal applications, then your guess is as good as mine for In=Person applicants at the PEO. It is going to be astronomical. I propose the new fees for ILR at the PEO would be £920
Oh men! So people earning minimum wage now would have to send their whole monthly salary for an immigration application.
Why do people mention this so often (I just wonder)? You use the NHS (and if you have kids here, they go to school), no? That is what a lot of your tax goes towards, not just benefits. Plus, one isn't here to get benefits, right?we have been paying taxes as a british citizen and not eligible for benefits for 5 years!!
Well in that case there is no point in making the above statement about eligibility for benefits right???jbinuk wrote:Well..first of all, I came here not thinking about benefits..in fact, I had no idea about the benefits before I came here in UK.we have been paying taxes as a british citizen and not eligible for benefits for 5 years!!
I am talking about the fact that most people in the UK are entitled to use the NHS without having to show some form of medical insurance, as in some countries such as the US. I never wrote that it was perfect or brilliant (tho it's always been good to me...), but the fact that we pay taxes for such a service (however rubbish some people may think it is), rather than have a system a la USA where it's all private and if you cannot pay (even if you are a citizen), tough. I never wrote that it was a "benefit" (which implies something given freely) but something which we all contribute towards with taxes.So what NHS benefits are you talking about??
Is this referring to my post?Well, I made that point because of the previous post from someone who is somehow implying that some people are here because of the benefits that they can get.
