Thank you聽

By "help" do you mean sponsorship?

The UK has instituted severe penalty fines for the sponsoring relatives of any visa overstayer past the 28-day grace period. The sponsoring relative is faced with a 拢1,000 to 拢5,000 fine as well as possible jail time. These new regulations went into effect in February 2008 along with the Parliament-amended laws concerning visa overstay penalties.

To sponsor a stranger would be very foolish, could clear out your bank account, and give you a free holiday at her Majesty's pleasure.

What are you talking About聽
Why all this Complexity It's just a visit !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because anyone who sponsors you has to pay up if you don't leave.
You'd have to be totally mad to sponsor a stranger.

and Why pay a huge fine for every day that i overstay !????!!!!!聽 聽
It's just a visit !!!! It is not that complicated聽 as I guess聽 ???
But thank you my friend聽

You see, this is precisely my point with my previous comment. That 'all' it is, is 'just' a visit to you. This is not how it's seen here. It is certainly not 'just' a simple visit, and someone can not 'just' send you an invitation letter. As Fred mentioned, there is severe legal and financial consequences faced by the sponsor if you decide not to adhere to the terms of the visa. I don't think anyone wants to face a large fine and/or go to prison based on your promise to leave the country before/on the due date. I refused my own cousin's request as I had no guarantee he will return back. It's not only about trust. But lack of control over someone, and being the one facing the punishment when it goes wrong. I trust him, but the moment he sets foot in a very different country than his, I'm sure he will change his mind at some point and decide to make a run for it, go into hiding, and I go into prison. Like you, he doesn't comprehend the seriousness of overstaying because no-one actually comes looking for over-stayers in those countries, and if caught, you can pay your way out of any trouble faced. Doesn't quite work like that here. This is something you need to understand. Then you will know why it's not 'just' a visit.

But thank you after all聽

It's not about being a paradise denying people entry. That's not the point. It's the very strict laws, and what happens when you break them. You can't get away with anything here. Everything against the law is a big deal. Even the rather small stuff. You can watch TV at home without a problem. We face legal action without a license. You can drive while using your mobile, and without a seat belt. We would get stopped. And punished. Sometimes living here, with the laws we have and the consequences faced when you break them, I feel like they are looking for any excuse to throw people in prison, and tarnish their criminal record. It's this that keeps me and others away from involving our-self in anything that can lead to the law being broken, and trust me, there is many - including sponsoring someone. Take it from me, nothing goes un-punished, everything is recorded against you, your reputation can easily be damaged which will impact your future, and a sorry won't be accepted for overstaying. Otherwise I wouldn't mind sponsoring someone.

I just don't understand how a non native speaker hopes to convince immigration that there is nobody in the EU that could do the job. Add to that - a writer can quite easily be employed while still in Russia. I think it's a hard sell, but good luck.

Hifi probably isn't specialist enough as there are a whole host of hifi mags, all populated with British or EU contributers.
The Japanese聽 and Americans get their bit in because of the many Jap companies and Bose from the US, but Russia has no hifi presence in the UK, if they make any top end stuff at all.

I know the loudspeakers in question, but they were one of many very nice quality manufacturers in a shrinking market, so it doesn't surprise to hear of their demise.
I've been out of that trade for a good number of years (and only in it for about five), so I'm way out of date, thus unable to help our Russian friend directly.

I suppose there might be some mileage in writing about Alcom and Neyton.
Maybe you could put something together for What HiFi or HiFi Choice and see if it gets you anywhere.

I know what I'm saying is true because I know someone who works for one of these lawyers. But there have been prosecutions and you may find this if interest:

Then you should post links to prove MOST Indians get using corruption, naming the border agents involved or at least linking to reliable sites that have evidence that'd stand up in court.

I know there have been some dodgy visa agents, but none of the people involved in any fraud or corruption concerning Indians were UK border agents.

Unless you can show differently.
