visa rise

[KeithD]

They are all jealous of our health service, which is one of the best in the world, regardless of what the press try and make it look.

If I had to pay for my medication, it would cost me around £500 a month in the USA, and that does not include seeing a doc. 2/3rds of folk in the US cannot afford medical insurance.

Business in most Europeans countries is worse off than the UK, and we have pretty fair taxation here, especially compared to the likes of Germany, Italy, etc.

We have a better spread of sport in this country, excellent gambling laws , a justice system that is biased towards the criminal, but that is the same in most Western countries these days, in the US if you have no ID when your are pulled up, you go to jail until you prove who you are, not here.

In the US it is a lot harder to get residency these days.

we keep calling home office for we haven yet apply for flr we keep asking about the visa rise but then they say it just a proposed/provisional they are not sure giving any specific date when it is going to be effective the fee are still normal as they say...were still waiting for that 3 months banks statement which is taking so long becoz as they say the bank is having a massive back log at the moment...i hope they will posponed it in a bit like maybe mids of april...until we get to send our application or else we need to pay 750

sorry , the forms you have to use on or after the 2/4/2007 are already on the IND web site for FLR, and i'll bet the new ILR forms will be on there on friday

looks like you and me and many others will have to pay more, if you look on the british embassy web site it mentioned the new prices more than a week ago

proposed ! its a fact..

from ind website

New application forms will shortly be available from this website. These forms must be used for all applications made on or after 2nd April 2007.

and the FLR one has gone up from £335 to £395. so it has increased.

the NHS is in a real state, you only have to see on the news and in the news papers, redundancies, cut backs, closures, this isnt made up by the press, even our local maternity unit, a 3 star rated hospital is facing closure, so pregnant women from salford will have to travel to bolton gen, which is a 1 star rated hospital.

some people have to pay for their medication as the nhs will not, iam not knocking the nhs, my wife works for it, they do a good job, but their on a sinking ship., and this under a labour government

I agree with most of that but i think the ID situation is going to change if they get them ID cards implemented

Maybe it is an attempt increase the numbers of illegal immigrants?
