They would be able to help you and guide you to the right immigration attorney since they know the specialization of their peers. You can also ask referrals of good immigration attorney from friends who had gone through the process themselves. You can also search online for good lawyers. Search their websites and you can see how experienced they are in the field and you can see the reviews of people who had been in contact to them.<br /><a href="http://www.anewlifeabroad.ie/" rel="nofollow">Graham Copsey</a> Director at a New Life Abroad Limited for <a href="http://www.anewlifeabroad.ie/" rel="nofollow">Irish Immigration To America</a> or <a href="http://www.anewlifeabroad.ie/" rel="nofollow">Irish Immigration To Canada</a> or anywhere else and provide all Nationality laws and immigration details online at www.anewlifeabroad.ie .<br /><br />A new Life Abroad Limited<br />Tel No: 01 4283540<br />E-mail Address: info@anewlifeabroad.ieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-60736527018726454972012-09-04T09:47:01.681+00:002012-09-04T09:47:01.681+00:00UK Academics are proud that they have created an e...UK Academics are proud that they have created an export industry based on the education of students from overseas (almost a quarter of a million last year). This industry provides employment and advancement for academics.<br /><br />There are many potential problems with this industry. The most important problem is whether or not this huge intake of people from abroad should have the right or ability to remain in the UK. The Border Agency used to say that the immigration rules were favourable to continued residence and this would <b>"enhance the UK's overall offer to international students"</b> (see <a href="http://pol-check.blogspot.com/2011/05/should-universities-and-colleges-be.html" rel="nofollow">Should universities and Colleges be financed by offering residence in the UK?</a>). Certainly foreign students comprise a major portion of immigration to the UK (see <a href="http://pol-check.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/ons-predicted-population-of-britain.html" rel="nofollow">ONS Predicted Population of the UK</a>) so universities have been acting as immigration agencies and providing a major impetus towards our current, potentially disastrous, population growth.<br /><br />Another issue is the general quality of the university experience. I have talked to many ex-students who have said that it can be very lonely in universities that have high foreign intakes. The overseas contingent tend to stay in national groups and the university has little of the extra-curricular life that should be expected.<br /><br />However, academics get a huge advantage from this industry.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07442010719863995872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-17046946948828731722012-08-31T20:55:35.453+00:002012-08-31T20:55:35.453+00:00What is the UKBA thinking?

What on earth will a potential student think now? (I speak as someone with reservations about overseas students at UK universities - but they should be treated fairly and rationally).

The sudden action of the UKBA is confusing, why not just stop a university from sponsoring future visas, review all current students on visas and then rectify the situation with those who are in violation. <br /><br />And why London Met, because London Met is a poor quality university with a track record of not following the rules on non-EU students, a university who was given 6 months to sort it out which they failed to do. Maybe the university was only expecting a substantial fine as they received when they "over-registered" students to get more money, but the government has a duty to protect its' citizens, and ensure the enforcement of the law.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546602206734889307.post-54027508788801790172012-08-31T09:29:40.009+00:002012-08-31T09:29:40.009+00:00Well said.
