Hi ashidhin,

Seems like your company is not operating by the rules of the land.

Unfortunately, if caught, the employee would be in trouble too, for the employer's misdemeanors.

The reason why you have not got a valid employment visa still is because your company does not have the labour clearance which it requires for applying for any expat employment visa.

Have a serious chat with your company head and tell him what they are doing is illegal and if they do not sort out your issue as per the rules, you would report them to the Ministry of Manpower (easier said, than done !).

Thank you for your kind reply sir,

I was continuously asking with the company people about my visa matter.At the first time when i came here they took the medicals. Now they are saying ministry people came here for company inspection.I have contacted to Indian embassy.They also told me to wait.
