Interesting discussion Do not forget that in UK, you have access to free schooling and free top class health care which are very expensive in Asia. In UK if you are poor, you are still a human being. In many asian countries this is not the case. :mrgreen: Hats off for this statement from u man from...

i'm afraid KP is right. There is nothing much else to do....probably u could try with a local address and phone number (your friends') to find if there are any calls. - based on that u can decide to make a visit to uk or not...

Not sure what reply u are expecting... But i did a quick search on jobsites and there are lots of openings. Though IT guys are a majority on Tier I there are people working in other areas as well. I'm a mechanical Engineer and know many in my field here who are from India - in energy sector - power,...

yes, its normal for uk comapies to make reference checks.
but i dont think they will be enquiring about your pay. - it will be more to do with your work experience, your job role and your character

- but its not a good idea to give incorrect information nevertheless..

Did you try googling for umberalla companies ? you'll get answers for most of your questions... the umberella companies have on their websites net income calculators. which will give u an idea .. - it depends on what expenses you would claim, is your workplace near where u live . is your contract ex...

OP your claims are rubbish. there are 2 poles working in my department. in a recent downsizing a scot working in a similar role had to leave there is no bias - only the market is bad and makes people find some excuses and someone to blame...a local who is affected might think immigrants are the reas...

Hello All, I am planning to move to UK sometime by last week of July form Bnagalore. I have a job in India which pays me 14 lacs p.a. and I have the flexibility of continuing the same job from UK.

Just sharing the experience of my friend...she was not working for more than a year in between but was working for around 6 mths when she applied-and she got ilr

I think paying the fine amounts to acceptance of guilt. If you are not guilty you'll have to take a legal course and get your name cleared. It would come down to a forgery case on your ex. You'll have to ask for proof from DVLA for the letter you allegdly sent and argue it was a forgery... but you'l...

I doubted that prices will fall that soon again when they already fallen. Intension to buy a flat was purely to stay away from waster rental payment, and to avoid negitive quity I already have deposit of 10%, so for a flat worth 210 won't go below in 190 in next 5 years...where they last year slump...

Going in for a heavy mortgage is taking a big chance...can be used as a leverage to make money in real estate if the property price increases on the other hand if the property price falls.. could make a loss too- consider legal fees, survey etc. might be worse than we think many are in negative equi...

really surprised someone can settle for 17k ... For that person, I dont see the point in coming to the UK. For any location in UK. With the Rent, council tax, utilities travel etc. which would all more than double that in india- it would be a miracle to live within 17k forget about savings... on the...

I have been following a particular role which is existing for more than last 6 months. (in a different field) clear that still the role has not been filled.

I have experienced that before. ie the consultant very excited and asking for your details and saying he'll forward to xyz company.. and nothing happening after. this means, when you post your CV the recruiter thinks its good and he can place you. but the company is not satisfied enough with the ski...

the reference would not affect the selection process...

i have come across ocassions when after they have decided to take a candidate, they'll check with someone who knows them just to make sure they dont have anything adverse to say about them...

Mechanical Design Engineers seems a bit general but compared to a year/2 before the market on the oil and gas/ process industry side is lot better. the salary again depends on the experience and how scarce the skills are... for eg. pipe stress engineers there are few roles available for 40-50/hour o...

u can run/open a shop if you can manage everything on your own...
is it practical? ie a one-man shop/...

with a tier-1 visa you can be self-employed

-but i'm not sure about opening a shop. because to run a shop it may require more than one person ...that would be employing someone and hence not self-employment..
