Love Tax & This Is Immigration Control By Economics

[joebloggs]

well next year there will be a big overhaul of the visa process, the gov says it's to simplify it, and i'm sure it will start in april, and no doubt with an increase in the fees again. I'm wondering what the gov will do, and i'm wondering if they will change the appeal process as it gets bogged down in this lengthly process, maybe change it so there is no right to appeal, and you will have to re-apply and pay again, also have to convince the case worker that the reasons for refusal have been delt with in the newer app.

and with immigration becoming a major talking point in politics, did anyone watch the program on BBC1 tonight about immigration ? , will it be more difficult for a non european to get a visa ? . looks like it could be, with the talk of raising the minimum age of a spouse visa to 21, a new points system, similar to australia's, the increase in visa fees, changes in workpermits, from needing to be in the uk from 4 to 5 years to be able to apply for ILR, the sneaky changes in the 10yr rule for those applying for ILR, if their visa expires and they apply to renew thier visa from outside the uk, their 10yr clock is reset. changes in nursing , many jobs requiring a workpermit now, as do SHO doctors if they are from outside europe, and they have little chance of getting it.

as i've said many times the gov cannot stop europeans coming to the uk, they really with not putting a limit on the numbers coming from eastern europe, they have now on the bulgarians and romanians, but thats for only 7 years, then its a free for all again, so what does the gov do? they can make it harder for non europeans to get a visa. the visa process has always been unfair, some case worker somewhere in the uk has the power to say wether your husband, wife or children can come and live in the uk with you. but europeans can come and live here

Reading this makes me , because it reminds me of the resentment I felt when I came in this country and found out that others seem to get in the country just like that - so many politically correct here. When I went to my interview for my visa application, it was like rigid interview, making sure that I will not be sponging from the government, and guess what I found?? I found myself working in this country, paying my tax to support who knows to get them a house etc. I don't mind if it is genuine 'couldn't work', but there are those who take the mickey!! I think it is very unfair that they will make it more harder and expensive for non europeans to get visa, afterall us Filipinas/Filipinos are hardworking people and used to working for ourselves and not asking help from the government as we don't have that in our country, provided we're given the chance to work that is.

because of immigration being in the media all the time, the gov is getting worried that voters will think its doing nothing about it, its started to, but i think unfairly , all the changes i've mentioned in my previous post are about stopping skilled workers coming here and spouses who are non europeans, its not going to effect the 100,000's who will keep coming to the uk from europe every year..

it showed in the program 6 or 7 polish adults living in one house, and only paying one community charge btw them, yet they all have access to the services the council provide.

the tv program was filmed in slough, the makers of the tv program stopped 200 people in the street, and asked where they were from, and 140 of them were not british

I really need to apply my Italian citizenship before coming there in UK! It seems like immigration will not make it easier for everyone...
