How do I get upto date Information on UK Work Visa?

Question

I went in for the UK Visa eligibility assessment and was told that I had the necessary qualifications to apply and get one. Then I was asked to make a payment of $419.00 USD to Migration Expert.com, I chose to pay by Western Union. However before making the payment I decided to find out more about such services & made a fraud search on google when I came across this forum.
So how do I get the Information that I need on UK Work Visa?

Answer 1

It is a fraud. Genuine employer issue a Certificate of Sponsorship without asking for a fee. The only fee a working visa applicant has to pay is the visa processing fee of £ 270 / $ 432 to the Embassy or Consulate General of the United Kingdom, which is the only British authorization to issue visa.

If you check the 3rd site you can see that "Migration Expert" is not listed as registered independent visa agents in the United States.

Answer 2

If you sent money thru Western Union you were scammed, You dont pay money to any agency, you have to pay at the British embassy when you go in person, not before.

Answer 3

Yeah, that's a scam... Try reporting them or something. It's unfortunate having to lose money, because of a scam.
