    agency work has the problem of not being permanent employment, his wife said he is looking for any job, so i would have thought if he goes to an employment agency he could get, low paid unskilled work, and if they have no work for you, then you dont get paid, while i think the agency work you do is not like that ,mr shark

    He could always take the self-employed route if he has siutable skills,the last time I was self employed I had several tens of thousands of pounds savings built up very quickly,I am sure that would have had weight when applying for her visa,depends what his background is



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

    I understand what you're saying Joe, but agency work is where a lot of people have to start if they're unemployed and there are only a few salaried jobs available.
    Agency work is where people can build up a reputation for (1) turning up on time and (2) doing a good job by working hard.

    As they build up their finances and a "good name" with the agency, they can gradually see what other agencies are paying and the ball keeps on rolling.
    Agencies offer all sorts of work, from unskilled warehouse pickers to skilled jobs like office managers and HGV drivers.
    Agencies also often specialise in particular fields, some are industrial, clerical, overseas work - the list goes on.

    It is like everything in life, get some money coming in and keep your eyes open for other opportunities.

    I started with one agency and knuckled under for a long time taking driving jobs that were often back-breaking. I gradually saved and paid £1000's for my Class 1 (artic) licence and now I work through many agencies.
    The fundamentals always apply though - work hard and you will succeed if you get out of bed at horrible times with the bigger picture (and perhaps one of your beautiful Filipina lady) in your mind.

    Sometimes you don't get paid when the agency has no work but you just have to keep on networking with as many people as possible to find out about any other work, often in other cities.

    It all started for me with a phone call to an agency in Heywood, not far from you. I later moved to the Midlands when I realised the pay rates per hour were superior.

    It is not easy but the benefits are there - for me my Asawa is here, but I worked my itlogs off to pay for everything (and still do).

    I know people who have applied for so many salaried jobs and never even got replies.

    I would advise anyone to get their walking shoes on and get out to the agencies. It worked for me and hundreds of thousands of others too

    i know of a couple of people who were refused visa's, and one of the reasons was they worked for an agency, i dont think there is anything in the rules saying you can't. i don't think its a good enough reason to refuse you on its own, maybe as a back up reason if some jobs worth wants to be a

    but your rigiht work is work, and that means money
