    Teehee They spelt NLUK name wrong AND suggested he has a 'job'.

    Although, apart from that he might have a valid point...

    If you want to encourage immigration of cheap labour whilst publicly saying you're clamping down on illegal immigrants why would you want to develop an integrated IT system ?

    Another popular one is the 'Surinder Singh' route;

    1. Bob gets British Citizenship
    2. Bob wants to 'call' his Parents and sister to UK to live.
    3. Can't - as UK has no such visa (well there is a dependant parent one - but it now costs £1800 to deter it's use!)
    4. Bob moves to an EU state for 3 to 6 months and exercises a treaty right
    5. Brings them as extended family members to EU under EU Rules that allow it
    6. Moves the lot back to UK with no financial test.

    Simples!

    There's a thread I've been reading about an Italian, who used to live in Madrid, and has been rejected for British citizenship despite living here for 6 years.

    Why would you want British citizenship if you were already an EU national?

    I don't know the guy's exact financial situation but the fact that he's desperate to include a whopping £52 in his salary for a visa application makes me think he's up to no good.

    Very true but I suspect the guy has other income and can't take it all as sal without incurring income tax, very much reading between the lines tho, depends what visa he's after..

    He needs to show earnings for his visa application it seems. £2k won't be enough though.

    Maybe we could point him at one of the BN66 schemes to maximise his profit
