Money being squandered on one thing does not justify money being wasted on something else. Especially as the BIA does generate some of it's own income through visas fees.Originally Posted by Arthur Little
Why NOT? The UK Government [and no doubt, many others!] seemingly manage to turn a blind eye to millions being squandered on lots of non-justfiable, falsified and fraudulent expenses claims! Need I say more?
A lot of laws/rules (not just immigration - driving for example) are complex, especially when they are of a different country to where you live, but that is not an excuse for not knowing about the ones relevant to you. The CFO rule is hardly complex, it's just the fact the Philippines government has this stupid rule that it doesn't necessarily educate it's people about.Yeah, that's all very well.But the complexities of *Immigration Laws are such, that the AVERAGE citizen is likely to be bamboozled until he/she is directly affected by them ... by which time it is often too late to *assimilate their full content. And how many ordinary folk are "legal eagles" capable of disentangling all the complicated rigmarole that exists within this sphere?
No doubt if the CFO provided the VFS with leaflets/posters to have in their office they would be happy to do so, but I suspect the CFO would not waste their money producing them.
