Thank you for all replies. It seems that HO wouldn’t take much serious to investigate this case and most of people here disapproved my prosecution about this poor guy. True, as everyone has mentioned I don’t have any proof that he is not a Kosovo war victim, but personal I am 100 percent sure he ...

. If the HSMP was approved before December 2006, it is under the old rules. The Home Office stopped accepting HSMP applications on 06/(07?) November 2006 ... But. all those applications received on or before that day were processed and fall under the old rules. When HO began accepting applications ...

there are double taxation avoidance agreements as per my understanding between india and uk. i cant provide references for the same. but know this from my discussions regarding the same with an incometax addl commissioner in india. they were familiar with these issues as they frequently encountered ...

hi bhiman i appreciate what u r saying. but it is what the case workers do that matters. and what they do is best explained by previous examples of how they have treated time outside the uk. u might find the posts by me in this link useful u might have already seen this on other forums of which both ...

i thought i had cleared the air in this thread but if u want confirmation in writing from BIA hsmp renewal section. others have got such written answers from BIA and is already posted on other forums. so if u want one such confirmation, all u or anyone else have to do is to write to BIA by email ...

school teachers would be getting a lot more annual leave etc during school holidays. so should they be getting a separate limit allowing more time out of the uk for ilr purposes. i think not. there has to be a uniform rule for everyone for clarity purposes, but with some discretion for individual ...

alina and vinay, Of course I don't want to lose my passport. It's just that I'm trying to balance my fear of losing it against how I can convince my prospective employer, as they might think I'm just being too paranoid about it. Given all the unfortunate circumstances vinay narrated, I'm now ...

asking to verify ur work status. probably ur employers can use this

some might find the above methods a bit over the top. :D . but i believe in fighting with the gloves off rather than shadow boxing and wasting time. fight properly or dont waste your own time. call it a day if things not working out. u need to move on in life as well. no point dwelling in the past ...

but it might be too late now if a long time has passed since this has happened. yes i agree such scums should suffer the consequences of their actions. but unfortunately many times the victim is in no postion to enforce rules as their health would have suffered etc so they wont be able to follow up ...

i think the response from gmc would have been very different if in the letter complaining to gmc if she had mentioned threat of legal action against gmc if they didnt initiate disciplinary proceedings in the matter. but it might be too late now if a long time has passed since this has happened. yes ...

looks like the OP wants to send the passport, so people like me have said what we wanted to say. best of luck if u do indeed send the passport out of country of residence. as a person who suffered due to an embassy losing my passport for about 6m. i can tell u it causes loads of problems. that ...

I would never send an employer my passport unless there was a really good reason. Send them a copy of the details page and a copy of the visa page. If they want confirmation that the visa has been issued and that you have the right to work, they have to contact the UK Border Agency " employer ...
