There is a disruption to the UK Points Based System and the system will only be back online on the 1 October 2011, this may affect Tier 2 applications. Any <a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/">Tier 2 or related applications</a> should wait until the system is back online to proceed.jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959670426359597746.post-55199489680079804822011-09-26T00:24:00.000-07:002011-09-26T00:24:27.923-07:00EU Finacial Crisis Video<iframe width="460" height="342" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ccabBm8TxLI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959670426359597746.post-34302531587215985452011-09-26T00:09:00.000-07:002011-09-26T00:10:57.586-07:00UK Labour Govt Immigration Secrets Made PublicReports that were kept from the public, show that <b>immigrants that came from Bulgaria and Romania to the UK </b>had low education levels and were making <b>more out of work/unemployment benefits</b>, in fact the figures suggest that as much as 15% of migrants from Bulgaria and Romania were making out of work benefit claims. <br />
<br />
The Labour party has been accused of withholding this information, which<br />
is contained in 5 reports, due to the party attempting to avoid any damage beofre the general election last year. <br />
<a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/2011/09/uk-marriage-visa-and-settlement-changes.html"></a><br />
There are reports that say that there are even more damaging figures in the report that suggest according to findings, immigrants from all countries around the world are less likely to find work than UK natives and may participate less in civic duties. <br />
<br />
Until 2008 the UK had pretty muh an "open door" policy which resulted in record numbers of <a href="http://www.ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/">UK Visas, UK work permits </a>and other permissions being approved <br />
<br />
The Govt then introduced a points system with a view to curb the numbers of foreign people entering the UK, making it considerebly harder <a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/2011/09/uk-marriage-visa-and-settlement-changes.html">to obtain a skilled visa for the UK</a>.<br />
<br />
The UK Govt did make some promises to 'manage' the flow of EU migrants into the UK but in truth the systems in place do not fully deliver on any level.jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959670426359597746.post-32385746548033420102011-09-22T01:51:00.000-07:002011-09-22T01:59:07.233-07:00Carers of British Citizens Judgement Explanation<b>The Court of Justice of the EU recently confirmed the judgement on a case of Ruiz Zambrano. <br />
</b><br />
<br />
The judgement basically allows the right of residence, for the carer of the Dependent UK citizen in the circumstance when the carer has no other claim to <a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/">residence in the UK</a> and the removal from the UK would mean that the UK citizen would need to leave the EU. <br />
<br />
The <a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/2011/09/uk-marriage-visa-and-settlement-changes.html">UK Immigration</a> authorities will now need to change the immigration regulations and enable a person in this situation to be issued with a document that allows them to stay in the UK on the basis of the Ruiz Zambrano judgement. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4DWbAUkuLx0/Tnr4r6pYlpI/AAAAAAAAAD8/Z4WYh1Cqxic/s1600/UK.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="177" width="285" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4DWbAUkuLx0/Tnr4r6pYlpI/AAAAAAAAAD8/Z4WYh1Cqxic/s400/UK.jpg" /></a></div><br />
As a temporary measure the UKBA will issue a certificate of application to people that can show: <br />
<br />
Proof that the dependent person is UK citizen<br />
Proof of the dependency between the carer applicant and the UK citizen<br />
sufficient documentary evidence of the relationship between the carer and the UK citizen<br />
<br />
The certificate is intended to allow the applicant to stay in the UK until the application is decided.jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959670426359597746.post-15742167246328567702011-09-21T00:13:00.000-07:002011-09-21T00:13:37.278-07:00UK may have to suspend spending cuts<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' id='TelegraphPlayer-8777748' width='400' height='227' codebase='http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab'><param name='movie' value='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/template/utils/ooyala/telegraph_player.swf'/><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'/><param name='scale' value='noscale'/><param name='salign' value='LT'/><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'/><param name='bgcolor' value='#000000'/><param name='wmode' value='window'/><param name='FlashVars' value='embedCode=J4OGd0MjqdhFpT7uACzwzEJzCoxvygZh&offSite=true&showTD=true&thruParamDartEnterprise=site%3Dbusiness%26section%3Dbusiness/financetopics/financialcrisis%26pt%3Dst1%26pg%3D/finance/financialcrisis/8777911/UK-may-have-to-delay-cuts-says-IMF.html%26spaceid%3Dvid%26ls%3Df%26transactionID%3D1109210808160762%26psize%3D460x317%26view%3Dviral'/><embed type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/template/utils/ooyala/telegraph_player.swf' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer' menu='false' quality='high' play='false' name='TelegraphPlayer-8777748' height='227' width='400' allowFullScreen='true' scale='noscale' salign='LT' allowScriptAccess='always' bgcolor='#000000' wmode='window' flashvars='embedCode=J4OGd0MjqdhFpT7uACzwzEJzCoxvygZh&offSite=true&showTD=true&thruParamDartEnterprise=site%3Dbusiness%26section%3Dbusiness/financetopics/financialcrisis%26pt%3Dst1%26pg%3D/finance/financialcrisis/8777911/UK-may-have-to-delay-cuts-says-IMF.html%26spaceid%3Dvid%26ls%3Df%26transactionID%3D1109210808160762%26psize%3D460x317%26view%3Dviral'></embed></object>jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959670426359597746.post-13524087552314252702011-09-19T23:27:00.000-07:002011-09-19T23:27:52.571-07:00UK Actor swims down River Thames for Charity<object width="460" height="370">

In the speech he stressed the importance of looking at abuse of the <a hre andf="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/">Marriage and Settlement Visa</a> into the UK.<br />
<br />
Currently there is a consultation on this issue and also on preventing these visa applications bypassing <a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/2011/09/uk-migration-on-rise-despite-govt.html">UK Immigration Laws</a> which is possible at the moment. <br />
<br />
Recent Reports Have Shown: <br />
<br />
About 20% of <b>UK Marriage Visa Sponsors</b> were either unemployed or had an income below that of the national minimum wage.<br />
<br />
37% of these sponsors were living with either other family or friends <br />
<br />
In 2009 2,6 million pounds was spent on telephone translation services and 400,000 GBP on document translations<br />
<br />
Two thirds of a sample of marriage visa applicants that were approved in 2009 had never visited the UK before making the permanent move.<br />
<br />
The UK Govt is currently undertaking a consultation on assessing the changes that should take place: <br />
<br />
there needs to be a more clear defined definition on what makes up a real marriage and help identify shame or fake marriages <br />
<br />
introduce a new minimum income threshold for those sponsors in the UK looking to sponsor a family migrant <br />
<br />
extension of the period from 2 to 5 years in order to apply for settlement, this too should help curb the abuse of the marriage visa and settlement routes <br />
<br />
all marriage visa applicants under the age of 65 need to show that they have a basic understanding of everyday English.<br />

<br />
Recently they have reported an increase in the numbers of people playing across the network of lottery based games. <br />
<br />
It is interesting that in times of financial uncertainty throughout history increases in lottery, betting and gambling can be seen. <br />
<br />
On their site they have a section that demonstrates some of the good causes that the lottery proceeds help with. <br />
<br />
The video displays a children's therapy centre in Cardiff receiving a nice amount from funds from The National Lottery fund. <br />

<br />
We also found a nice page with a history of <b>UK Scratch Cards</b> from the National Lottery. Their <a href="http://online-scratchcards.com/site-reviews/megamoneygames">Online Scratch Cards</a> history display page contains images of the different types of cards or scratch off's dating from 1995 when the first National Lottery Scratch Cards were printed. <br />

The rise has been attributed to an increase in the numbers of <b>migrants arriving in the UK</b> from Poland and other EU Countries. Many UK Employers and Businesses have had to turn more to <b>EU Migrants to fill the skills gap shortage in the UK</b> left after the immigration changes made recently.<br />
<br />
Also another interesting fact that was found was that fewer people had left the UK, which opens a question on why? <br />
<br />
The financial crisis across Europe has seen a rise in employment in many EU states meaning that many more migrants from European countries will try and seek employment in the UK. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eTSSh3opHT4/Tl9P3CE1G2I/AAAAAAAAAD0/GesayO40-zU/s1600/images%2B%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left:1em; margin-right:1em"><img border="0" height="132" width="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eTSSh3opHT4/Tl9P3CE1G2I/AAAAAAAAAD0/GesayO40-zU/s400/images%2B%25282%2529.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
The UK Coalition Govt has openly admitted to making the changes to the immigration with a view to reducing numbers and this has clearly not happened. One could argue that the measures taken have allowed for a situation where the different European Communities living in the UK will keep rising and still hinder the keeping of the UK Culture. <br />
<br />
A good example here is when a EU Migrants partner is entering the UK there is no requirements for English level check as with non EU States currently. <br />

Just today we picked up on two different stories about different abuses of the immigration system. The one story which we found alarming is the story about an immigration law firm boss being jailed for a massive immigration scam. The report explained that this UK Immigration Lawyer was giving his clients false documents like fake education certificates, payslips and letters. <br />
<br />
We have written many previous posts on how important it is to select the correct <a href="http://ukmigrationupdate.blogspot.com/">UK immigration lawyer or company</a>. It is extremely disturbing to me that this kind of thing goes on, even though we are all aware of immigration abuses, but when you find a lawyer willing to abuse the system it makes it somehow feel even worse. <br />
<br />
I am not a lawyer and have been doing UK visas and Immigration for 8 years and would never attempt to deceive the UK authorities or my clients. jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6959670426359597746.post-9996895287251337142011-08-09T07:16:00.001-07:002011-08-09T07:16:48.403-07:00UK Prime Minister on Recent Riots<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' id='TelegraphPlayer-8690895' width='400' height='227' codebase='http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab'><param name='movie' value='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/template/utils/ooyala/telegraph_player.swf'/><param name='salign' value='LT'/><param name='allowFullScreen' value='true'/><param name='allowScriptAccess' value='always'/><param name='wmode' value='window'/><param name='bgcolor' value='#000000'/><param name='scale' value='noscale'/><param name='FlashVars' value='embedCode=hzcTBxMjowu7_h5Jqk-1vHpxNnVpWuCl&offSite=true&showTD=true&thruParamDartEnterprise=site%3Dnews%26section%3Dnews/uknews/crime%26pt%3Dst1%26pg%3D/news/uknews/crime/8691034/London-riots-Prime-Ministers-statement-in-full.html%26spaceid%3Dvid%26ls%3Df%26transactionID%3D1108091506050574%26psize%3D460x317%26view%3Dviral'/><embed type='application/x-shockwave-flash' src='http://www.telegraph.co.uk/telegraph/template/utils/ooyala/telegraph_player.swf' pluginspage='http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer' menu='false' quality='high' play='false' name='TelegraphPlayer-8690895' height='227' width='400' salign='LT' allowFullScreen='true' allowScriptAccess='always' wmode='window' bgcolor='#000000' scale='noscale' flashvars='embedCode=hzcTBxMjowu7_h5Jqk-1vHpxNnVpWuCl&offSite=true&showTD=true&thruParamDartEnterprise=site%3Dnews%26section%3Dnews/uknews/crime%26pt%3Dst1%26pg%3D/news/uknews/crime/8691034/London-riots-Prime-Ministers-statement-in-full.html%26spaceid%3Dvid%26ls%3Df%26transactionID%3D1108091506050574%26psize%3D460x317%26view%3Dviral'></embed></object>jono lipchikhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08431254006445634954noreply@blogger.com0
