Concerned officials in UK are on the verge of acquiring the money of an NIR couple that has been earned wrongfully. The Indian-origin couple is alleged with operating an unlawful visa agency and eventually both were arrested and now are behind the bar. The company, named UniVisas, based in Southall had assisted around one thousand individuals to enter the United Kingdom illegally. In last June, Jatinder Shrama and Rakhi Shahi were awarded with 7 and 8 years of jail sentence respectively.

The couple had collected around 600,000 pounds in the form of payments from the people to whom the former provided fake services. Now, the UK officials are intending to acquire the amount of money. As part of the operation to collect the money, the officials have already consulted Indian police, since it is believed that the couple has transferred some part of the amount to India already.

Through the company the couple offered many services related to immigration that helps people who want to immigrate to the UK illegally. A team of specialist immigration officials, as well as Police officials put the two into custody in the year 2008. After the arrest, the team performed seizure at the residence of the couple as well as their offices, where the officials found several fake documents, stamps and cash money.

Reportedly, the company is accused of misusing the UK’s Highly Skilled Migration Program. This is the program that allows highly qualified and skilled people to immigrate to the UK. Since the year 2006 until 2009, UniVisas submitted about one thousand petitions under this visa category to the Home Office. Though officials have already seized some portion of the amount of money collected by the couple, they are asking the couple to hand over their hidden assets.
