reading thru the waffle i think Vaz has managed to get a PEO set up in Leicester because of the large number of Indians living there..

I see. So, for example, a Indian seeking to enter the UK on a Spouse Visa would apply in India. But once here could apply for ILR in Leicester? Instead of having to travel further afield?

(As a percentage of the total for the city).

I'm sure I heard on the radio the other day that it now exceeds 50%.

WOW. The stats were similar when I was there many years ago. But evidently grown in percentage terms.
