NickG Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 seen some confusion on here as to whether he is away on international duty.

Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 He hasn't played for them for a while has he? I wouldn't be surprised if his International career is finshed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trousers Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 Can someone explain the actual mechanics involved in securing a work permit approval? In other words, what do the relevant Government approval department(s) actually do, other than push pens across the desk for 10 or so days before signing the approval? For example, is it like this: Day 1: Receive work permit application from SFC Day 2: Have a cup of coffee and biscuits Day 3: Remember application is in inbox and take a photocopy Day 4: Have a cup of coffee and biscuits Day 5: Fax work permit application to the department that actually deals with this sort of thing Day 6: Oh, it's the weekend. Take two days off. Day 7: It's still the weekend. Light the barbeque Day 8: Phone the department you faxed the application to. They didn't receive it. Fax again Day 9: Coffee and biscuits Day 10: Receive a phone call from the 'other department' who say they've had a butcher's on Wikipedia and it all looks in order. Day 11: Fax SFC to say that the work permit has been approved. Day 12: Phone SFC to see if they got the fax OK. They didn't, so re-send. Day 13: It's Saturday again. The confirmation came through 1 hour too late. But, fret ye not, he can play the following week Is that what actually happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I suspect you are expecting things to work faster than they do in practice, you have also left out one important stage: Day (0 minus 14): Jaidi sends work permit application to Home Office. I don't think we have reached this stage yet Once that happens then everything will swing into action and will proceed as swiftly as a stunned slug.

Matthew Le God Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 In the interview on Saints Player that went up 40 mins ago he didn't rule out playing tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 4 September, 2009 Share Posted 4 September, 2009 In the interview on Saints Player that went up 40 mins ago he didn't rule out playing tomorrow. Not sure he'll be playing tbh (esp. if he's signing in the megastore pre-match!) Raidi Jaidi's work permit looks set to take a little longer to process, with a wait of approximately seven to ten days currently being anticipated.
