US citizenship in three months! Many rich Indians are doing this The route also allows the spouse of a visa holder to freely work in the US and covers dependent children under 21 While attaining US citizenship is increasingly becoming a difficult and expensive prospect, many rich Indians have found out a way around it - through Grenada. Rich Indians are increasingly looking at Grenada as a route to attain US citizenship through the Grenada Citizenship by Investment (CBI) programme. Interest in the CBI programme has increased in the last three months, sources in the know told the Economic Times. Under the Grenada CBI programme, a visa applicant has to make $220,000 investment in a government-approved real estate project to acquire citizenship. Now, the Caribbean island has an E2 visa treaty with the US. A Grenadian can apply for the US citizenship and acquire it within three months. The E2 visa treaty allows an individual to invest a minimum of $150,000 and live and do business in the country. The investment must be in an enterprise that is able to "develop and direct" as mentioned in the report, and which is 50 per cent owned by the investor. While the route might seem long, it has come after the US changed the investment guideline of the EB-5 programme. The minimum investment for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program was raised to $900,000 from $500,000 in the Targeted Employment Area (TEA) and from $1 million to $1.8 million in the non-TEA in November last year. This has led to a dip in interest towards the US' EB-5 programme. However, the route to US through Grenada is not only cheaper but the processing time is also quicker - 90 days for Grenadian citizenship and another 90 for E2 visa. To add to it, the route also allows the spouse of a visa holder to freely work in the US and covers dependent children under 21. Another country that has similar provisions is Cyprus that has also become another preferred option. Источник

Полностью поддерживаю. Если в Вашем СОР нет национальности немец одного из родителей либо немцы - обоих родителей, то шансы малы. Если ТС родился после 1991 года, то тогда потребуются косвенные доказательства национальности родителей либо иные доказательства принадлежности к немецкой нации и немецкой культуре. Если это отсутствует, то лучше воспользоваться программой Германии по привлечению квалифицированных специалистов, которая начала действовать с 01.03.2020 года.

Вы думаете, что-то в сознании наших людей сильно поменялось? У ТС, если все что он описывает, присутствует и он сможет подтвердить - проблем быть не должно. Но к самому процессу подготовки документов нужно подойти серьезно и решить для себя, что нужно - обучение/курсы, а потом вернуться назад в Украину или настраиваться на иммиграцию. Уверен, Вы и второй наш старожил поддержите в этом меня.

Ну и что? Я таких программистов вижу и общаюсь ежедневно десятками (ТС, прошу не воспринимать на свой счет, т.к. у Вас все понятно), и они сидят на соответствующих сайтах и просто гоняют одностраничные сайты и все, от лова ВСЕ. Ни ЧП, ни налогов -нет совсем. И сидят и бухгалтеры, и бывшие сотрудники милиции/полиции, и фотографы. Это те, которых я лично знаю. Я могу еще не один десяток (если не сотню) примеров привести, как в начале 2012 года ко мне обращались самые разные люди, желающие получить визы в Канаду, США, Британию, Австралию ссылаясь на то, что в Украине пройдет ЧЕ по футболу и им нужно знать английский язык, поэтому им нужно ехать изучать его именно в эти страны. Догадайтесь кто по профессии были эти люди и насколько им удалось получить эти самые учебные визы на языковые курсы.

А где в первом сообщении написано, что ТС работает в крупной компании??? Я исходил из первого сообщения, т.е. из того, что бухгалтер (но не как в той песне про милого бухгалтера) самостоятельно (т.е. нигде не обучаясь) поменял специфику работы и сейчас подает документы на обучение в IT сфере. Или что-то неверно понял, когда отвечал?? Никаких оснований думать, что у человека не иные намерения, кроме обучения. Я имею ввиду исходя из первого сообщения. Полностью поддерживаю.

Вот это вызовет вопросы. Так что постарайтесь внятно в мотивационном письме все разъяснить. В противном случае получите отказ.

Indians will pay $50,000 more for US investor visa from April Washington: Beginning April 1, Indians wishing to immigrate to America using the EB-5 or the US investor visa will now have to pay an additional $50,000 (Dh183,650), a media report said. Although, this additional tax would impact all visa categories, it will predominantly create a barrier for people investing in the EB-5 visa programme, the American Bazaar daily said in the report on Friday. In 2019, the EB-5 investor visa programme, for the first time since the 1990's, increased the minimum investment amount to $900,000. With this increase in minimum investment, the new 5 per cent additional tax would mean that applicants would have to pay the extra $50,000, when they move money to an escrow account in the US to fulfil their application criterion. "The changes to the tax on remittances is a reminder to Indians to carefully plan their tax position before making the move to the US," the American Bazaar quoted Mark Davies, Global Chairman, Davies & Associates LLC, as saying. "People seeking to emigrate who do not wish to pay this tax at source and rather account for it later may wish to move their money ahead of the new rules coming into effect. "It is possible to pre-emptively move money into an escrow account in the US until such a time as they are ready to proceed with emigration process," he added. Источник

'Fraught with risks': Senate rejects plan to outsource visa processing A Senate committee has warned a billion-dollar tender process on outsourcing visa processing is threatening the integrity of Australia's migration system. A billion-dollar plan to outsource visa processing has been rejected by a Senate committee over fears it would undermine the integrity of the migration system. The Senate committee, chaired by Labor's Kim Carr, found the “privatisation” of Australia's visa application and assessment system would reduce service quality and price gouge visa applicants. But the Federal Government dismissed the criticism saying the proposed "Global Digital Platform" is needed to reduce processing times as visa applications are projected to increase to more than 13 million per year in the next decade. The committee recommended the $1 billion tender process be scrapped in favour of more funding to support the Department of Home Affairs. “Outsourcing Australia’s visa processing system is a project fraught with risks and the committee is not satisfied that these risks have been sufficiently addressed,” the committee concluded. It said international experience, particularly in the United Kingdom, has shown the outsourcing model could have dramatic consequences. “Profit-making entities are driven to find ways to maximize their profits, and this inevitably leads to reduced service quality and/or higher fees,” the committee reported. The current visa system currently involves more than 50 different computer systems, two of which are more than 25 years old. Australia Visa Processing (AVP), a consortium previously run by ex-Liberal Party deputy director Scott Briggs, and a joint Australia Post and Accenture venture are vying for the contract. A decision on the tender process was due to be made in October last year, but as of February no decision had been made. In a dissenting report, Liberal senators Amanda Stoker and Claire Chandler defended the model, insisting the new workflow tool to support the processing of digital visa applications did not amount to privatisation. “This modernisation process is necessary to reduce processing times and to ensure visa decision making continues to support key export industries like tourism and education,” their report said. “The provider of the workflow tool will have no role whatsoever in visa decision making.” During the committee hearings, the Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) expressed “grave concerns” about “commercialising” visa processing, citing tension between profit and service delivery. A number of witnesses pointed to the experience of visa applicants in the UK which outsourced its system to French tech company Sopra Steria in November 2018. It heard the “privatisation” had led to reduced service quality and increased costs to consumers as providers used long delays for free appointments to drive demand for premium, higher-priced products. But the Federal Government argues the outsourcing process in Australia would allow the Department of Home Affair’s staff to refocus their efforts on higher-value, more complex decision making and help clear backlogs. If the government goes ahead with the tender process, the committee recommended complex and vulnerable people's applications should continue being handled by department staff. The department has already agreed the successful tenderer would only process less challenging visa applications, such as temporary skilled workers, international students and special category visas for New Zealanders.

NZ filters immigration tap, turn-by-turn Immigration New Zealand has revealed that while the Govt hasn't raised residency requirements, it will simply bury many new applications for a while. Immigration New Zealand will send new residency applications from skilled migrants to the bottom of a two year-old queue unless they earn more than double the median wage or satisfy occupational registration requirements. Existence of the new criteria emerged this week when a further change taking effect from Monday meant even a type of residency application that had been allowed to jump the skilled migrant residency queue without double the median wage earnings would now also not be processed. INZ quietly changed its website on Monday to disclose it had stopped looking at residency applications from applicants earning less than $106,080 per year, $51 per hour, unless they were in a registered occupation like teaching. Those amounts are well above the official requirements for residency. The site said: “Recently we have received enough applications that meet the priority criteria, that other applications were no longer being allocated.” The department confirmed this wasn’t a new “priority” policy but one it had adopted for skilled migrants since the middle of 2018. The policy was signalled to immigration advisers, but had not been widely publicised. Since that policy was put in place, Residence for Work (RfW) “talent” applications had been allowed to jump the queue. Those applications were where a migrant may have worked for an accredited employer for two years, but the number of applicants from this category had ballooned after the exception was granted. From February 24, those RfW applications would no longer be allowed to jump the queue unless applicants earned double the median wage or had occupational registration in a profession like teaching, INZ's border and operations manager Stephanie Greathead said in a statement. Taking those applications out would allow INZ to start processing a backlog of skilled migrant applications that stretched back to December 2018, Greathead said. 'Keep both queues moving' Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway said the move would keep the priority and non-priority queue moving without requiring a Cabinet vote on a new residency planning range or on changing the number of points required for residency. However, it was “impossible” to say how many residency applications would be processed by the end of this year under the new approach, Lees-Galloway said. “The key thing here is both queues will keep moving." The old residency planning range expired at the end of last year and was used to decide how many residency applications would be granted. A total of 52,048 applications were approved during the 18-month period from July 2018 to December 2019, when the planning range was 50,000 to 60,000 applications. That was effectively an approval rate of 35,000 per year, and left a backlog of 26,000 unprocessed skilled migrant residency applications as of November 2019. Greathead said INZ would continue processing applications with the same resources and at the same rate until the planning range was replaced. She said there were 13,800 Skilled Migrant category and Residence for Work category residency applications on hand as of February 18. The stalled call David Cooper of Malcom Pacific Immigration said this all came down to a long overdue call on residency numbers that Newsroom reported had stalled at Cabinet. “It’s just putting a sticking plaster on the problem and the problem right now is there are three times more people applying than places that were available under the old programme,” Cooper said. “No changes have been made to stop people applying, to cut numbers back at the front end. And nothing’s been done to help those people that have done the right thing because the Government said please apply for residence in New Zealand because you’re just the people we want here,” he said. “What they’re doing is they’re sticking them in a queue and they’re damaging people's lives.” Potential applicants for residency are invited to apply after they file expressions of interest (EOIs). This system allows the government to tweak residency requirements to reach a particular target of residencies. If the government needs to grant more people residency under the target they simply lower the number of points needed, if they need to grant less they raise it. However the number of points required hasn’t changed and the target, the New Zealand Residence Programme (NZRP) expired at the end of last year. New Zealand has operated a 'planning range' of 45,000 to 50,000 residency approvals per year since the early 2000s, and this has often been expressed as a two-year range from 90,000 to 100,000. The previous National Government lowered the range to 85,000 to 95,000 for the two years to June 2018, which meant the annual allowance fell from 47,500 to 45,000. The current Labour-New Zealand First Coalition Government lowered that again to between 50,000 to 60,000 for the period from July 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019, effectively lowering the annual rate to 37,000 for the period that expired at the end of last year. So, the number of work visas has grown while the number of potential residency visas has been cut. In 2008 there were a potential 125,000 applicants on work visas for 47,000 residency visas: a ratio of 2.65 to one. Today that ratio sits at 7.84 to one. It has meant the number of unprocessed residency applications has almost quadrupled in the past two years, as this previous article reports and this chart shows: Cooper said the residency requirements hadn’t been officially changed because once they were, many people on work visas who were already employed in New Zealand would no longer choose to stay. “The politicians keep saying the media are overblowing it whatever, whatever, whatever,” Cooper said. “My question would be: where’s the harm in making a decision? It’s not that hard, it’s gone on for years that whoever is the government of the day can announce the residence programme. What’s your concern? What’s your worry? Why are you deferring?,” he said. Alastair McClymont, an immigration lawyer, said he had told his clients to expect a wait of up to two years on their applications. Many of the more skilled migrants in IT who earned salaries just shy of $80,000 a year were already exploring other options. The backlog itself had caused a further backlog as people panicked and tried to get their applications in, he said. “They’re all afraid that something is going to happen and that the doors are just going to shut on them,” McClymont said. Kate, a migrant from the UK whose application is in the queue and who Newsroom spoke to earlier, was cautiously optimistic her application might have a better chance of being processed after the announcement. “I just think they’re doing it to cover themselves because of all the media that’s gone on and now they’re doing something about it,” Kate said. “They’re not stopping people applying…[and are] happy to take people’s money,” she said. “It’s not really sorting the problem. It's just masking it.” Another person in the queue, who Newsroom has spoken to before, said she had her first interview with a case officer this week. She filed her application in October 2018. “[The case officer] didn’t say when she can give me the decision. I didn’t even ask.” she said. Источник

93% jump in UK study visas issued to Indians Uptick attributed to 2-year post-study work permit, lower education cost Over 515,000 Indians received tourist visas last year, up 8% compared to the previous year NEW DELHI : Over 37,500 Indian students joined UK universities in 2019, a 93% jump in the number of study visas granted by Britain, UK Immigration Statistics data showed on Thursday. The data comes months after the UK announced the introduction of post-study work permit of two years for international students called the Graduate Immigration Route (GIR). Though the details are yet to emerge, the UK government has said that it will be applicable to students who graduate from the summer of 2021, which effectively covers fresh admissions. A total of 37,540 Indian students received a Tier 4 (study) visa in 2019, as against 19,479 in 2018. Data showed Indians also received 57,199 Tier 2 skilled work visas in 2019 clocking 3% growth from the year-ago. “This represents the largest number of visas issued to Indian students over the last eight years and continues the strong upward trend in student visa numbers since 2016. Indians are currently the fastest growing nationality for student visas," the British High Commission said. The skilled work visas granted last year accounts for over 50% of all skilled work visas granted globally—meaning more such visas were granted to Indians than the rest of the world combined, the high commission added. “It is exciting to see so many Indian students trusting the UK as the destination for their education and furthering their careers. This bodes very well for both countries’ continued focus on realising their knowledge ambitions in a fast-changing world," said Barbara Wickham, director-India, British Council. Jan Thompson, acting high commissioner to India, said the increase in student numbers is “testament both to the UK’s world leading education system and to the exceptional talents of Indian students. We couldn’t be prouder that the best and brightest continue to pick the UK, making the living bridge between our countries stronger each day." An Indian expert said the spike was not surprising and 2020 may see this number going up further. “The UK numbers are going up largely because of three reasons—the GIR announced in October 2019 allowing post-study permit from 2021; the relative inexpensiveness of education in the UK compared to the US; and the growing cost of Indian education in courses like management at top colleges here," said Suneet Singh Kochar, chief executive, Fateh Education, a firm that helps students get admission in British universities. Arjun Gaur, a law student about to join the London School of Economics, said: “While UK masters from top institutes are almost the same as those from top US institutions, the fee structure is 30-40% less in the UK. In the UK, I believe the courses are more research-oriented than the US, where it is application-oriented." After India, the US (9,240) received the second highest number of Tier 2 work visas. In 2019, UK granted 113,958 tier 2 work visas. Meanwhile, the UK continues to be a popular destination for Indian holidaymakers. More than 515,000 Indian nationals received visit visas (tourist visas) last year, up 8% compared to the previous year. Источник

..именно поэтому для того, чтобы получить визу в Украину (тип "С" или тип "D") иностранному гражданину первоначально отказывают по п.8 (кстати, неоднократно), а потом подводят к тому, чтобы ему помочь. Стоимость помощи колеблется от 1.300 долларов США до 3.200...тех же самых долларов. Кстати, во многи случаях виза требуется...даже для некоторых безвизовых с Украиной государств. Уж процедура чтобы получить ВНЖ в Украине. Так что, увы.

Тогда, то что они (сотрудники) зарабатывают как "неучтенку" существенно перекрывает из официальную зарплату. Смею Вас в этом уверить, т.к. знаю не по наслышке.

Товарищ сказал/сказала, что админответственность в государстве его/ее гражданской принадлежности, но точно ни в США или Канаде.

Кабмин одобрил квоту на иммиграцию иностранцев для трудоустройства в ІТ-компаниях Украинским компаниям разрешено пригласить на работу 5 тысяч специалистов Кабинет министров поддержал установление квоты на иммиграцию 5000 высококвалифицированных специалистов из-за рубежа для трудоустройства в украинских ІТ-компаниях. Об этом сообщает РБК-Украина со ссылкой на Telegram министра цифровой трансформации Михаила Федорова. ⠀ Отмечается, что приглашенные специалисты смогут: получить вид на жительство, что упростит им жизнь в Украине в длительном будущем им не нужно будет получать ежегодные разрешения на применение труда иностранцев; их трудоустройство осуществляется на тех же условиях, что и для граждан Украины; они не привязаны к конкретным срокам пребывания в Украине; они не привязаны к конкретному месту работы и должности; они имеют возможность иммигрировать в Украину вместе со своей семьей; они смогут открывать ФЛП. "Ежегодно украинские университеты выпускают 15-17 тысяч ІТ-специалистов разных направлений. Ежегодно в стране открывается около 40000 вакансий ІТишников. Даже если каждый год будет трудоустроено 100% выпускников - нашим технологическим компаниям не хватает специалистов", - пояснил глава Минцифры. Источник

Уверен, что Вам абсолютно ничего не угрожает.

Я Вас не сильно разочарую, если скажу, что точно такая же картина существует о всех диппредствительствах Украины. Сотрудники этих учреждений организовывают на этом свой бизнес. И, поверьте, ОЧЕНЬ (!!!!!!!) неплохой.

Где именно эта ответственность у Вас возникла? В государстве Вашей гражданской принадлежности или там, куда Вы собираетесь ехать? В первом случае никак не повлияет. Во втором очень даже повлияет. Но и с этим можно решить.

Спасибо. Повеселил. Особенно в пятницу и под конец рабочего дня. Хотя я и в выходные работаю.

Если возможно, то дайте ссылку на источник информации.

В предыдущем сообщении я указал что именно.

Пока ничего.

Ну тогда, Вы уточняйте, чтобы не было непонимания у форумчан, что Вы имели ввиду.

К сожалению, Вы ошиблись. Как я и писал, сейчас в Украине с 2013 года нотариально заверенное заявление одного из родителей при оформлении загранпаспорта ребенку не требуется. Вся информация о необходимых документах взята с сайта ГМС Украины. При оформлении загранпаспорта за рубежом, действительно требуется, если подает документы один из родителей.

1. Обычно на визиторскую визу более чем за 6 месяцев не требуют. Х - это не 10 месяцев, а ихс (хотите - ? месяцев, как во 2 классе школы) месяцев. 2. Обычно в самой справке с работы указать свою зарплату - брутто - налоги -нетто.
