 Well, seems i just need clarity. There is not particular answer I want. What is wrong if they complete RLMT and i am on their payroll? I didn't get the illegality part. If i get a contract and assign it to them. Is that illegal?

 It would be easier to apply for a permie role over here, but again you would probably be required to attend interviews in person even if you initally have a telephone interviewSocialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.
 
 No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.Comment

 You seem to want other posters to say this is a legal way of working for an agency/consultancy. It isn't.Originally posted by jtnkathuria View PostWell, seems i just need clarity. There is not particular answer I want. What is wrong if they complete RLMT and i am on their payroll?
 
 There are ways of working in the UK legally but they involve being taken on as a permanent employee and the employer finding you the work NOT the other way round.
 
 Yes.Originally posted by jtnkathuria View PostI didn't get the illegality part. If i get a contract and assign it to them. Is that illegal?

 Dear Mods
 
 Can you please move this post into General, so that NLUK and a few others can reply without being banned? I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it. I am not an IPSE Member, since they have no longer have any relevance to me, as an IT Contractor. Read my lips...I recommend QDOS for ALL your Insurance requirements (Contact me for a referral code).

 You cannot do what you intend doing - it is not legal.
 
 You can only get sponsored by the END client, not the Agency. If there any agencies telling you otherwise, then it is not likely that they are telling you the truth, since as long as they can get money from you, they don't care...
 
 I am sorry that it is has taken so long to answer you without adding to your confusion, which seems to multiply every time someone gives you the answer that you don't like.I was an IPSE Consultative Council Member, until the BoD abolished it.

 What you want to do is against the law and if you do attempt it I sincerely hope you're caught at it. The law is there for a reason, trying to circumvent it can and should lead to circumstances.Comment

 on 2. they could equally well never pay you and see how long they can delay payment and then skip straight to 4....Originally posted by Stevie Wonder Boy1. You won't have a contract anymore.
 2. The Agency will get a big fine and there will be a high probability you won't get paid for the work you have done. Getting your money will nearly be impossible - See 4. On a side note even if you don't get caught the agency may just decide not to pay your last invoice anyway. What are you going to do about it - See 4.
 3. You won't be able to pay your bills; thus ruining any chance of getting credit in the UK in the future.
 4. They will invite you to leave the country and they will flag up your passport as visa abuser.
 5. Next time you try to enter the UK they won't let you in.
 
 You are setting yourself up for a massive fail.merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

 Guys. I respectfully thank you for your insights but somehow why everyone is pounding on me? To be really frank, it is flaw in UKBA process that these companies get A-rating for sponsorship. I just came here to do the homework and inquiry. Seems i am done with it. I hope next time if someone comes for some questions spirits remain good.Comment

 What exactly does an A-rating mean and who creates those ratings. I can't imagine UKBA offers ratings by company (Ministerial heads would roll if they did) so where is this A-rating coming from?Originally posted by jtnkathuria View PostI reiterate, i do not want to do anything. I just came here for information. Hope you get it.
