Come on Arthur, I'd love to hear your take on it, not what others have apparently said for you
https://www.gov.uk/government/upload...April_2014.pdfFirstly, show me a profit margin link to verify your statement
Secondly, and more to the point, the scheme has as much to do with a settlement visa as it has to do with the cost of a loaf of bread. Read it again Joe after all you started the topic, it's a scheme to fast track TOURIST visas. Nothing to with any other sort of visa, the cost of a loaf of bread or anything else
settlement fee £885 , processing fee £378 profit £507
visit visa short fee £83 , processing fee £115LOSS OF £32 -
of course it has if the visa is processed at the same place as this fast track visa or any other visa. soon as the caseworker gets one of these 'priority' visas, they will have to put a side the visa app they are processing to do a 24hr one, andme , i don't know why people don't think that a British Citizen who has married a Filipino should not be a priority
as for checks, one of the mains points of a settlement visa is that you intend to make the UK your home, so the HO doesn't need to waste time and money on evaluating the risks they will overstay compared to business, student and visit visa's where there is a greater risk that they will overstay or work when they are not suppose to, these checks you would have thought take time and money to process.
next if the spouse visa takes so long to process because of 'local checks' surely these and even more checks should be done on people visiting this country and less on those married to British citizens.
did you see the word 'priority' about family permits
you've seen the profits now and you've seen the time scales, dont tell me you dont think the Brit who is sponsoring a settlement visa has not come off worse

Because a Brit is at the back of a queue and has paid nearly £900,
I'll put it in bold for you, in case you can't see
unit cost of a visit visa is £115
unit cost of a settlement visa is £378
WHY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
when it's easier to check the passport of a British citizen, check their details with a British bank, the Police, HMRC and their employer... no need to check the applicants' financial details, or reasons that they could overstay. I don't know what the
You really believe all the checks they have to do for a visit visa cost only £115 yet the settlement visa cost £378 to process?I think they got the figures the wrong way around or someone is taking the
Nothing new having lots of money has always eased the immigration process
I won't put in bold for you, I'll try and explain in a way that everyone should understand.
1. It's a fast track for a visit visa
2. It's an option, you don't have to pay
3. See 1
The people coming here and using the fast track option are coming to visit, they're not settling here. The only so called queue they're jumping is a queue they'd already be in, I can't understand why people are having difficulty understanding this
So you're telling me, you know that there are separate queues for the different types of visa being processed by case workers and those case workers only process one type of visa?
Have you found any evidence to show this is done by a dedicated team at the Embassy? If not, then everyone who applies is pushing to the front of any queues
No Joe, what I'm saying (in plain English I hasten to add) is that these people who are willing to pay £600 to fast track their VISIT visa would be applying anyway and that they're paying £600 to fast track their VISIT visa application and therefore not taking any money away from your 'poor Brit' but actually boosting the Economy.So you're telling me, you know that there are separate queues for the different types of visa being processed by case workers and those case workers only process one type of visa?

Come on, it's not that difficult to understand is it?
And how much does it cost to process one of these applications ? It doesn't cost £0No Joe, what I'm saying (in plain English I hasten to add) is that these people who are willing to pay £600 to fast track their VISIT visa would be applying anyway and that they're paying £600 to fast track their VISIT visa application and therefore not taking any money away from your 'poor Brit' but actually boosting the Economy.

You don't know if they would apply anyway. I'm sure any checks they do on a normal visit visa would be more detailed than a priority one due to time restrictions.
I posted before about Tier 1 visa abuse, highly skilled immigrants working in takeaways, students who came here to work and not study, and now - for a fee of £600 - someone who intends to overstay could get fast tracked here within days
Why do you think so many visit visas are refused ? HO does not believe they will go back

Did you actually read the article that YOU posted a link to Joe
It would appear not
To save you going back, this is what it said:-
"All applicants must meet the strict requirements of our immigration rules, and applying for a visa to enter the UK through the 24-hour service does not, in any way, guarantee a visa application will be successful."

UK needs to learn a lesson from Canada
Canada suspends Accelerated Visa Programhttp://profit.ndtv.com/news/market/a...program-321904Canada has suspended the Accelerated Visa Program, which reduced processing time for visas to two weeks. The processing time for visas is likely to go up to three-five months now, and the there is a proposal to increase visa fees as well.

I don't know Joe, but I'm sure you'll tell me or go off on another tangentWhat are the strict requirements ?
Canada stopped the visas because of abuse. I wonder how many of these rich or business people will be rich or business people
Time will tell

Canada looks to fast-track visa applications. Opens new office
The Government of Canada plans to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth by attracting an increasing number of visitors and international students as well as skilled temporary foreign workers and immigrants to meet its labour market needs.
According to the Canadian Government yesterday, it has now moved to open a new visa application centre (VAC) in Georgetown to make the process of applying for one to enter Canada easier and more convenient.
According to a release from the Minister’s Office, Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), it is expanding VAC network around the world to “provide valuable administrative support to applicants before, during and after their temporary resident application is assessed by a CIC immigration officer”.
VAC service agents are available by phone, email or in person to answer questions and to make sure that applications are complete, the statement said. “This helps avoid unnecessary delays or refusals due to incomplete applications. For an additional fee, VACs also offer other services, including photocopies, application photographs and self-service computer terminals for those wishing to take advantage of the new online applications.”
However, the agency warned that VACs are not involved in the decision making process and are not authorized to provide applicants with advice about their visas.
Anyone wishing to apply for a visitor visa, study permit, work permit or permanent resident travel document must visit the new VAC office located at 107 Duke Street, Georgetown.
VACs will strive to issue visas and permits as quickly as possible to facilitate travel for immigrants, visitors and students.
