thats right Imagine, if you've paid in you can take out.. its crazy that Europeans here can claim benefits after working for a short period. while those from outside the EU cannot claim 'recourse to public funds' until they have at least ILR in many cases that's 5yrs for those on work permits, whats that if its not discrimination ?
i think in my misses case, she has opportunities here she wouldn't have in the phils - career wise better training and better pay.
