Hi Damodar,
Really I have the same bad feelings like you and others about these
people who are playing with the furture planning of so many people.
Could I ask you about how you applied for the study permit and in
which university there?What are there requirements? Because I am also
thinking seriously to come there on a study permit as my wifés US
green card is in danger due to her frequent travelling in and out from
USA.Like this time they have warned her in writing.So could you please
help in this regard? and also do you suggest me to come over there for
studies?
Thanks
Zeshan
