on the flip side, in the last two years there have been a number of engineers we know, in their 20's, having finished their degrees from the some of the best college's/unis i*n pakistan*, come here for highly paid jobs. they had no problems being granted their work visas once the job was secured.
Irony!! Coz now non-EEA nationals are not allowed the visa even if they graduate from the best universities in the UK!!
