Hi all,

First time posting – so bear with me. I am a lawyer (not with capital visas) but with Westkin Associates but will try and avoid posting spam as a few other law firms seem to have done! A few points:

1. A law firm can offer this service if they have the correct registration with UKBA. The service is called the Legal Representatives Same Day Service. It should show up on a web search, there is a UKBA. They usually call these “slots”.
2. Only firms registered with the law society or OISC can use this service. Capital visas have the OISC logo on their site so seem to be registered with them although I haven’t checked this online.
3.A firm shouldn’t charge you more for a slot because they can. They should only charge for work done or increased costs. Using the same day service can cost more , eg when we provide clients the same day service we have to pay a legal clerk to go there all day and so explain this to clients up front. How much more were they charging and what for? They cannot “price gouge” but can charge for work done or costs incurred.

4. This might be late but I assume you want to avoid the new changes, they have just come out here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/workingintheuk/tier1/general/applying/ – for Tier 1 and follow the link if you want Tier 2.

for you to see of they affect you.

5. I am in the process of preparing a guidance video for our clients on the new changes. I will happily post this on this page for your tmmrw.

Hope that helps,

Amir

US federal action against Arizona over immigration law

He should probably get papers… it’s not about “using” you its about keeping yer family together and giving your son a better life… if he really loves you and his son you should tell him to take a humility pill and do what needs to be done for the family regardless of the hit his pride takes…

Crazy Right Wing Reaction To Arizona Immigration Law

Canada, a country governed as a parliamentary democracy, with Queen Elizabeth II as state of the head, is a land of opportunities that attract many people from all over the world. With the number of immigration applications rising every year, the Canadian Government has tried to improve the immigration programs and laws to make immigration process very easy.

Earlier it used to take 5 to 6 years to get immigration to Canada, but today the process has been fast tracked and it is possible to get immigration within one year. Canada offers 3,200,000 skilled migrant visas every year and this is one of the biggest opportunities provided by the government for those interested in migrating to Canada. All the applications under federal skilled immigration program are assessed according to the applicant’s ability to become economically established after migration to Canada.

If a person is married then same details of the spouse are also required. Then you have to appear for IELTS exam, in which you a score of 7.5 in hearing English and 6.5 each in speaking, writing and reading English is considered optimal, for which a total of 16 points are rewarded that is the maximum you can score. After the CV is prepared and you have cleared IELTS, you have to find an immigration lawyer who would help you file the case. On the basis of your CV and IELTS result you are given certain marks (you require 67 marks to be eligible to apply for Canada Immigration). You also get additional points if your first blood relative is a Canadian Citizen.

After this there are seven easy steps providing you immigration to Canada. First your application with the letter of approval from a Canadian employer (in case of Arranged employment option) is submitted to Central Intake Unit in Sydney, Nova Scotia. It takes 2 month to be processed, after which you get a file number. In the second step the remaining documents are submitted to high commission, New Delhi. Then the application is forwarded to be assessed by Canadian Immigration Visa Office. Fourth step is personal interview which may or may not take place to verify the authenticity of your documents. Fifth step is to get medical and police clearance, after which in sixth step the high commission would request you for your passport and the right of landing fees. The last step is when you get your passport back after visa stamping, and then you can immigrate to Canada.

Besides Canada there are many other nations that see huge influx of people every year. Recently, there has been an increase in demand for UK immigration service too. Applicants try to find the easier ways to immigrate to developed nations where they can settle after getting employment, but all they need to do is to find the right immigration lawyer to help them file their case in the right manner and assist them to immigrate to Canada.

Immigration Lawyer – Brad Bernstein offering advice on Adjustment of Status

We all know just how grim the final months of 2008 were in the international property market. Prices plummeted, estate agents boarded up their shopfronts and the economic pundits predicted more gloom. As the UK left the “noughties” and entered the “twenty-tens”,  the situation remained unglowing: at the end of 2009, home prices in the UK were down 1.6% from the same time in 2008, and in the US they dropped by 3.6%. Leading the global real estate recovery, however, is Canada, where home prices rose by 19%.  Good news for sellers, not so good news for buyers, especially buyers coming new to the property market there, looking to buy their first home or holiday home in Canada.

However, the situation is set to brighten for buyers intending on purchasing in the second half of 2010 or in 2011.  A rising number of new properties coming on the market will give buyers more choice, the anticipated rise in mortgage rates in July could slow down turnover and the introduction of HST (Harmonized Sales Tax) in British Columbia and Ontario on 1 July means the current race to buy property there before the deadline will end. All of these factors should cool the heated demand for homes, which, combined with solid increases in the number of properties being offered for sale, means that buyers will be in a stronger position.

Of course, Canada is one big country, with big variations in the real estate markets province by province. Average house prices vary wildly as you move from the Pacific to the Atlantic. At the higher end of the market, the current hotspots are Kelowna, British Columbia, and Montreal in Quebec, followed by Victoria, BC, and Ontario’s main city of Toronto. Meanwhile, Vancouver continues to be the most expensive city in Canada in which to buy property, with the average house price sitting at C$693,482 (almost £450,000). In Alberta, on the other hand, the cost of the average house in Calgary rose by a comparatively small 8% during 2009. [See table at end of article.]

The continuing strength of the Canadian dollar to the pound means that cost of buying property in Canada for Britons is not the bargain it once was. Certain regions of the country still offer excellent value for money, however, for those who cannot afford the BC lifestyle (and prices). On the far side the country from the multi-million-dollar oceanfront homes of British Columbia, Nova Scotia on the Atlantic offers the millionaire lifestyle at very reasonable prices. Just outside of the sailing mecca of Chester and only 45 minutes from Halifax is a luxury waterfront villa development, where you can purchase an off-plan custom designed three-bedroom, two-bathroom villa for just over £250,000 and admire your yacht from your terrace. Or, if award-winning architecture, lots of land and lake frontage plus a private island is more to your taste, outside of Yarmouth is a spectacular post-and-beam timber frame home that sits on more than 57.3 lakefront acres, including a private two-acre island, on the market for under £650,000.

Buying property in Canada is a more civilized and efficient process than it is in the United Kingdom, with laws in place to protect the buyer and the seller. Anyone trading in real estate has to be professionally qualified and licensed, and each provincial board licenses its own agents, who are known as realtors. The MLS or Multiple Listing System is an excellent initial search tool to find out what’s available and what it costs. The public portal to this proprietary database is www.realtor.ca. The huge advantage of the MLS system, from a buyer’s perspective, is that you don’t have to go along a high street visiting every estate agent in town to ensure that you’ve seen everything on the market that might suit you. Use a licensed estate agent to help you through the process. Their services are free to buyers, and they’ll know the questions to ask that you don’t about any given property. This is a mistake I made when I purchased my first home in Canada: I saw an ad for a property I liked in the local newspaper, rang the agent and made an appointment to view; liked it even more and put in an offer, without conditions. Why? Because I didn’t know the appropriate conditions to ask for, or even that I could attach conditions. Why? Because the agent was representing the seller, not me the buyer, and while he had to deal with me honestly and fairly, I wasn’t his client and it wasn’t his duty to protect my interests or to advise me. And I found myself with a cottage where the well dried up every summer. In any property transaction in Canada you want to be the client, not the customer. Like lawyers, realtors owe their client a duty of care that they don’t to a customer. If you are only their customer, they cannot negotiate on your behalf, or recommend a price other than the seller’s asking price.

There is a growing number of estate agents in Canada who are relocation specialists, working long-term with new and potential immigrants not just with their home purchase, but coordinating with recommended immigration and property lawyers, accountants and contractors, as well has helping entrepreneurial immigrants acquire turn-key businesses. In Nova Scotia, for example, you can live and work on a beach that is so picturesque it once featured on the Canadian $50 bill. The eco-friendly four-star cottage complex even comes with a detailed operating manual, all for just over £500,000. Or if you fancy running a bed and breakfast with a professional chef’s kitchen just steps from the ocean and deep water moorage, there’s one new to the market at approximately £255,000.

The forecast for the Canadian economy, which grew by 5% last year, is good and inflation is running at 2%. And, with a more balanced real estate market just around the corner, acquiring property in Canada in the near future is an excellent investment in preparation for a new life.
