NRIs to oppose UK migrants cap

GRNews — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 14:44:34 +0000

An influential group representing professionals from India and other non-European Union countries will challenge the temporary annual cap of 24,100 to be announced by Home secretary Theresa May on Monday.

Amit Kapadia, director of Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP) Forum that fought a successful legal challenge against immigration rules, said the government’s move to impose an “illogical” cap will be opposed.

“Any such cap will affect Indian professionals because most non-European Union migrants to the UK come from India. But we will oppose and lobby against any illogical number or cap that the government may seek to impose,” he said.

Placing the cap at 24,100 between now and April 2011 means that British employers will not be able to employ any Indian and other non-EU professionals once the limit is reached.

Indians have been among the largest group of professionals recruited in the IT, medicine, education and services sector every year.

Kapadia said any knee-jerk attempt to impose a cap will hurt the British economy and will be opposed by British business and industry.

The Expat Life

GRNews — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:06:32 +0000

For those who have never tasted the expat life, there are lots of questions that arise. I came across this very nice post from someone who has completed a 3 year assignment working from Beijing. Some words that really captured the essence of the expat process, more so the feelings at the end of the assignment. The time when you get ready to return home…

…home is where you hang your hat. I felt little emotion when I visited the good friends now living in our old house. The experience reiterated something that I had often felt while living in China and returning to visit New Jersey: my attachment to specific things and places is diminished. Home is where my family is; the building where we live is just there to contain us.

As nice as it felt to be in Beijing and as happy as I was to see so many friends, it was clear to me that I didn’t quite have a place in the firmament there anymore. I felt a bit untethered, floating through others’ lives without the anchor of my family.
