FREE VISA AND IMMIGRATION ADVICE

By Mathew Collins & Nicky Barclay, 2006; From the web Amusement Most UK houses have at least one television and radio, as well as a DVD player, video recorder, or other means of viewing pre-recorded programming. Anyone who owns any of the aforementioned things must get a television licence. If a household owns more than one television in their home, they will only need to apply for one TV licence. If a property's rooms are leased out, each resident who owns one of the aforementioned appliances must apply for a separate licence. • The cost of a colour television licence is £142.50. • A black-and-white television licence costs £48. There may be discounts on the cost of a TV licence in particular cases. For example, if someone is above the age of 74, they may apply for a short-term TV licence that will cover them until they reach 75, at which time they will be eligible for a free over-75 TV licence. If a person is blind or seriously visually handicapped, they may request for a 50%...

By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018; From the web Someone suggested that I go to US on a tourist visa first and thereafter apply for a student visa after my return. They say that it may be helpful as I would have proved my non-immigrant intention and final financial capacity by my previous trip. Is that true? Some persons may have visited the United States on a tourist visa on their own or as part of a tour organisation such as "Thomas Cook Holidays" or others. For starters, it would be a highly expensive approach, even if it increased your odds somewhat. Second, even if you have a tourist visa, there is no certainty your student visa will be approved.  If your documentation is not in order and you are unable to satisfy the visa officer with your responses, your student visa application may be denied. In addition to denying the student visa application, the visa officer may opt to terminate the valid tourist visa. So, rather than attempting to get a tourist visa first, it seem...

By Nick Noorani & Catherine A. Sas, QC, 2014: From the web Canada’s Provincial Nominee Program Canada's fastest-growing immigration program is actually several programs across Canada, known as the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). They are employer-driven immigration programs that give provinces and territories an active role in immigrant selection to meet specific local labor market needs, although each province and territory is only allowed a certain number annually. About 44,500 to 47,000 people are expected to immigrate to Canada under under PNPs in 2014, including the nominees themselves, their spouses, and their dependents. PNPs are an increasingly attractive option for people who want to immigrate to Canada, given the increasing restrictions in other immigration categories. As an immigrant, you can obtain a direct sponsorship or nomination from an employer, municipality, province, or territory to come to Canada, most commonly in the form of an employment offer. Employe...

By Peter J. Spiro, 2020; The Oxford Handbook of Citizenship, 2018; Diego Acosta, 2018; Nils A. Butenschon et al.,2000; Samuel P. Huntington’s 2005; Patrick Weil, 1789 Is it possible for just citizens to commit treason? Under current US law, only people who "owe loyalty to the United States" may be judged guilty of treason if they have waged war against the United States or provided aid and comfort to its adversaries. In principle, "allegiance" may extend to permanent residents, although no such case seems to have ever been tried. (It would have been acceptable to apply it to the aforementioned declarant immigrants who had proclaimed their desire to naturalise.) Since 1952, when California-born Tomoya Kawakita was convicted of treason for his maltreatment of US prisoners of war during World War II, there has been no treason conviction in the United States. Although many US-born people fought for the Axis countries, they would have immediately forfeited their US citiz...

By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018; From the web During my previous visa interview (during which my visa application was denied), I said a couple things that I afterwards regretted. I intend to conceal or skip it at my next visit interview. Can I conceal it? Is this a good method to deal with the problem and enhance the likelihood of a successful visa interview? If you stated anything at your previous visa interview that you afterwards regretted, try not to bring it up again on your own. However, make it clear that you should be fully prepared to address and explain such themes and arguments if the visa officer questions you. The officer will maintain a quick note of what you say or what they think about your case while they interview you for a visa. It is saved in the system next to your name. Even if your face and interview are with a new officer, at a different time, and in a different consulate, the prior notes and records placed against your name may still be seen by the officer w...

By Peter J. Spiro, 2020; The Oxford Handbook of Citizenship, 2018; Diego Acosta, 2018; Nils A. Butenschon et al.,2000; Samuel P. Huntington’s 2005; Patrick Weil, 1789 Do persons in the United States' regions have the same rights as residents of the 50 states? On the boat, those born in US territory are immediately awarded citizenship. However, US citizens living in territory (including those born in the 50 states and eligible for birth citizenship under the 14th Amendment) are subject to a constitutional distinction. In a series of early twentieth-century rulings known as the insular cases, the Supreme Court concluded that the Constitution would not "follow the flag" to so-called unincorporated areas, defined as areas not on the way to statehood. The Court ruled that the government had simply evaluated "basic safeguards," which did not need a jury trial. Intercultural encounters are fundamentally binding. As a result, as stated in the previously cited Reid V. Co...

Hartman, 2000 Choosing to Attend Graduate School Following graduation, I worked as a programme assistant for a big environmental and growth firm in Washington, D.C. The employment was a good match for my professional goals, but my position did not provide me the power to make direct choices. Many senior programme officers and vice presidents within the firm advised me on how to qualify for these sorts of positions. The answers were often the same: get a graduate degree in a related discipline and develop field expertise. Within a year, I had joined the United States Peace Corps and was working on health and economic development initiatives in a rural community in Cote d'Ivoire. After three years of operations in West Africa, I returned to the United States and began applying to graduate schools of international relations that of...

By Nick Noorani & Catherine A. Sas, QC, 2014: From the web Eligibility and point structure for self-employed individuals A point system is in place for self-employed people. An qualifying candidate must have a minimum of 35 points based on their education, experience, age, language proficiency, and adaptation to Canada. You must have a copy of your education certificate (along with English or French translations if applicable) to gain education points. Self-employed business experience would only be evaluated for points if it happened during the five years before your admission date. Applicants must provide objective proof of their experiences, such as tax returns, bank accounts, accounting reports, and validation from the accountant's records. The maximum number of points per age is ten, with a two-point decrease each year following the age range of 21 to 49 years. Points are given for competence in both English and French, with 16 points given for your first official language...

By Dr. D K Sharma, 2017 & 2018 Is it safe to reapply for a visa when a prior application was denied? Because there is no minimum time interval after which you may reapply for a visa in the United States, you may reapply on the same day. However, ensure that the scenario is vividly represented or depicted in a positive light. Going for an interview several times with no change in the criteria will just result in serial rejections in the interview, thus diminishing the odds of securing the visa straight away.

By Mathew Collins & Nicky Barclay, 2006 There is a council tax in the United Kingdom. What exactly is council tax? A council tax is a kind of municipal tax that is collected by local governments. It is a personal property tax. There is no council tax charged on any property. Some people are free from paying council tax, while others are eligible for a discount. Bands of Value Each home is assigned a council tax value band by the Valuation Office Agency (VOA). The value of your home determines the band. Each band is charged a different amount of council tax. Each municipal authority keeps a record of all residential properties within its jurisdiction, as well as the valuation band for each one. This is referred to as the value list. Who is obligated to pay council tax? The accountable person is generally the individual who pays the council tax on each property. Nobody under the age of 18 will face charges. Couples who work together would be liable even if only one name appears on th...
