Sohaib Hasan Thanks for sharing a very detailed and informative article. I only have two questions: 1) Do the recruitment agencies charge us, if any, upfront of after landing a job? 2) What can be done about the agecies that misuse, misguide, charge us ‘initial interview and visa/ work permit process” and consistently offer false hopes after the rip off?
