Also there is no mention of something like a prospective salary of 40K and above does not require a Resident labour test OR otherwise known as advt reqquirements in the Local UK market. .. More delays for my Work Permit...

The latest update is that the company is going to give app ref no in next couple of weeks. . This has come after a lot of upfront and clear communication with the organization.

Let's see

The Keyword is "Adaptability".

Rockhall, the delay is inexplicable. I have already started the communications with them to push or pull out of the process. I have been asked for the time till end of this week to get an application reference number. If I dont get i will have to take some legal action. No choice. Yes my researches ...

Thanks buddy. The 50k is a security deposit, not a charge. They dont charge for the job. It's just something that keeps the prospective employee bound to the company while they are processing things. My contract letter clearly states that this deposit is paid back in 30 days when the candidate joins ...

Dear Friend, Thanks for the depth of thought for this and the links. The company looks genuine on the outset and they have 4 offices in India, 1 in Singapore, 1 in UK and 4 in US. With the size it is unlikely that it can get into any scam (Atleast i hope and wish so). Moreover, my research says that ...

WorkPermitIssues, the UKBA probably will not tell you. It is not your application, it is the employer's. You will have to chase it up with your prospective employer, or start looking for another job. You could tell them you want proof, which may not go down well. Is there a reason they are being ...

Do you know when your WP was filed ? Normally it takes 4 weeks and after easter holidays there is a backlog and getting cleared. The whole idea of me wanting to check is that my employer is not so transparent and i smell a rat. I dunno what to do. I need to somehow find out with my details as to ...

Admins & Gurus - Any suggestions/advice ?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Hi guys, I have a couple of good news. I already received my work permit visa. I informed my prospective employer right away and expressed my concern on sending out my passport. I gave them the weblink for the employer checking service and employer helpline. They said that these services are only ...

hello Vinny and Try-one,

thanks for the links. I contacted them and they said they can give info only to the Employer & its representatives. .. What do i do now ? My employer is directing a rubbish whenever i have a question regarding WP filing status.

Regards

Hello All,

Is it possible for the prospective employee to check with the HO, about the WP status? Does anyone know the contact details ? There is just too much info on the bia website. Dunno whether they will entertain and which email/number to communicate with them.

Thanks in advance

Unlikely that this debate can lead us anywhere. .. So just posted to say Hello :) [There is nothing wrong with being selective as the candidate is seeking advice on the situation and not the personality. Many people get into the moral mode which is only prerogative and personal and may not ...

Hi All, I have an offer from company A, which I had accepted and suppose to join them on 21-Apr-2008. Now, I have received another offer form company B, which I would like to take, and join them on 01-May-2008. How do I handle the offer from company A? Option 1: Tell agency & company A that you can ...

Please no moral advice like what is right/wrong etc. Don't be so selective while seeking advice. And btw you need it urgently,too. There is nothing wrong with being selective as the candidate is seeking advice on the situation and not the personality. Many people get into the moral mode which is ...

I understand that you are in India yet and have not got to UK. So if ur CV contains details like an Indian Address or an Indian phon number, your chances of getting an interview call i reduced. Clients and recruiters here care only for thepeople who are physically present in the UK. realizing this ...

Dear Purple - Every person has to take some or the other risk in life to move forward to the next ladder. But this one is like a fire in the face. The reason everyone here is on one side is because to explain you that you are what you are in the global market because of your Identity issued by the ...

Do some research on UK based certifications for Project and Program MAnagement. E.g. Prince2 Employers and recruiters look for such keywords in the CVs and take things ahead. That is one of the ways for you to work as a Program/Project Manager in UK. Secondly why dont u try an internal shift from ...

Being polite upfront is a professional gesture and not a literal sense. That is UK for all of us. Every country has its own culture. Professionaly speaking, apart from NOVICE recruiters none would be harsh on you by telling that you are average or not good at all. People have diff professional ...

The bottomline is "You cannot send your passport to anyone except your own govt authorities". If that costs you your job you should be prepared for it. It sounds a bit bitter and harsh but i would do the same. Let them figure out the ways to get you in the country. The other way to look at this is ...

Hi Guk - We are sailing in the same boat. Although the company looks good with its existence track record of 9 years, it would be nice if someone who has already gone through the process and is in US or UK post their views here.

Thanks

Exactly. I agree with AshishAshah. Thats the approach to be followed.

Infact you can even be straight forward with them. If they start asking you about company details and all, tell them, " You are wasting your time mate, that ain'nt gonna come out of me. "

Hello AshishaShah - Few points to consider when working in uk. 1. With family you cannot save much in UK. So your goals should be set straight from a monetory perspective and the compromises associated with it. Moreover, you need to enhance your skills to the areas that are paid more in order to ...
