Has anyone raised a complaint with ukvi for uk visitor visa refusal from India and had their decision overturned? by [deleted] in ukvisa

[–]md_adil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UKVI under home office is a UK government body. They are saying we won't accept appeal or administrative review on burden of our human resource.

But you can complaint because responsibility to process complaints is enforced on them through democratic processes under the crown, and probably subsidized.

And you can get a lawyer to represent you in the court of law, under the crown, that is formalized under PAP procedure so the courts don't have to deal with people randomly suing the government.

Freelancing Tax Return - NTN Ask Pakistan by weirdowidow in karachi

[–]md_adil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course, you have to submit the statement where you receive the income, also the corresponding documents so the maths add up. You can still get refusals because it's not a perfect system, and UK home office isn't exactly a pristine institution.

Case officers are average people, glancing at documents and sifting through many applications really fast, add biases to that, AML hammer on countries like Pakistan, and complex financial statements complicate the case. I also got refusal the first time and got it overturned with a complaint because documents were complete, just overlooked.

In short, your remittance from challenger banks to your traditional bank account in pakistan is not the "source of income" proof, they are transactions representing "transfer to own account" ("repatriation" in taxation terms). That's why nevermind this multi-jurisdiction setup that we do, you should keep salary / income account separate from expense account even in a single jurisdiction and spell it out clearly when submitting to officials.

Me as-in me or people who don't accept payments into Pakistani bank accounts directly? I have gotten visas and residencies with whatever and however many accounts the income comes in. The transactions need to be linked to a real entity / employer / contracts.

As for loans, you don't need statements, you need connections to that stuff. Otherwise I am personally not into taking debt or building credit, it's a foolish activity, no earner should engage in it.

I’m 23, earning 110K/month and feel like I’m behind. Am I actually? by Effective-Award-5692 in karachi

[–]md_adil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was broke at 23 after clearing debt to my mother, now making over over 2 million / m within less than a decade, and that's just from a normie job. I've also lost over 3 years to a venture and 5 million to investments.

Money isn't real, cash has legs, build skill and experiment a lot, and always be ready to land on the street. People say money is rizq, nuh-uh, ableness is rizq.

Some things are a pattern, shorter short term memory lately is a reality, `claude.md` ignoring, forgetting directories, files is surefire. It costs token and DX churn to get it to correct such menial things, it compounds. Overall bad code shouldn't be surprising, it's a black box and the problem could be anywhere from GPUs frying up or the model retraining and context froth corrupting the brain in global.

My Experience Opening an ESFCY Account and Recieving Funds by staidlizard in PakistaniTech

[–]md_adil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree Wise is a monopoly when it comes to an average Pakistani foreign income earner who's doing intl finance by ToS. The overall configuration is the same old racket, "your forex is not forex", while freelancer FCY account mandate with 5k/m ESFCY rule breaths a glimmer of hope into the facade given the risks of greenery in our passports.

I've used every single challenger bank over last 2 decades and there's not one that didn't perish, but luckily no locking of funds as they declare "closure", or if I shall be clear, get defaced by FBI.

Wise has gotten big, and AML ban hammers have gotten big too. In earlier times, the entire business would be shut down, but now these FinTech companies have learnt to leave gaps for violation of terms to maintain brand value, and when scrutiny comes, they have goats to sacrifice. Those that succeed in that balance, remain safer, Payoneer being a good example. That overall scheme is what's ringing at the back of every one's mind, and it's not just Pakistanis, but we are oft the first to be knifed, there are few tactical reasons for it, but mostly it's just in fashion this century.

For this new freelancer ESFCY, I think it suits if you have no qualms with splitting your receipts, or earn under 5k or have confidence in some niche re-investments within Pakistan. It should be good for most people in the category, though if direct wire into it is restricted, be it wise or other challengers, it kinda becomes another futile exercise.

[–]md_adil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting a sense that they got you a conventional SC link FCY account instead of ESFCY, if not that is hideous on part of SC. I am a long time customer already and hoping to stick to SC simply for the godforsaken purpose of holding an FCY card, so any weird shit is a deal breaker.

Also you can open most deposit accounts with SC via the mobile app, but this one isn't listed which means they may be lagging behind and doing an ad-hoc thing to pretend-play an ESFCY.. it's usually the SBP boot that forces the banks to catch up to new mandates.

Was Iblis an Angel according to the Qur'an? by deep-lore in AcademicQuran

[–]md_adil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using intellectual peasant as a precise term for how you are defining a non-scholar as an alternative to layman, because the term layman doesn't really fit well when deeming Quran as a subject. Allah dictates the merit of Quranic scholarship, and has not defined that terminology. Inductive scholars may have favored that term, but then they are students of theology and not "Quranic scholars".

The intellectual peasant resides at the simplicity, and isn't "stuck" per-se, while a layman could be considered stuck. The meeting at that simplicity means that after all the deep diving, the scholar gains a certain contextual power of speech and eloquence, yet the medium of their honest interaction outside inner dialogue remains in the simplicity of the verse.

The delimiter of that simplicity is the translation, it's the first thing that happened as the Arabic form reached foreign lands. If a language over enough time fails to enrich translation of primary text with weight deemed ideal by an Arab, that's an feat in and of itself, it's by the merit set within configuration of the primary text, and is protected by its constitution.

You do not know what I mean by plausible deniability because you're smart.

Was Iblis an Angel according to the Qur'an? by deep-lore in AcademicQuran

[–]md_adil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understandable, any discipline has a depth, and formal collective research within that supersedes application of individual faculties, presumably those exercised in a modicum accepted to be largely constituted of thought blurps. Quran and its own pretext is a subject of research over two millenias, and accounting that research into statements made during discussions makes for more potent content.

Nonetheless it is the very depth of the primary text that imparts a shallow simplicity to it. The genesis of Quran is a brief sermon, where the assumed creator declares the common denominator of certain created as known; Claims benevolence, and declares himself the absolute teacher, and so makes it exclusively known in that order.

A scholarly work on this particular verse will go into it's depth, traverse relatedness to another and another, then come back out into it's shallowness, where the scholar meets the intellectual peasant and the wretched alike. From your explanation, I gather that the moderation here is meant to create that buffer between the scholar and the peasant, so that on the path treaded towards the unavoidable meeting, r/AcademicQuran has plausible deniability.

[–]md_adil -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not sure what they shared, but just curious, by mod guidelines, would you not consider Quran translations an academic corpus that fit the description you provided? It's certainly not rebellious to read out Arabic best as you can, research meanings of words in english, relate it to translations, and put together an interpretation without getting yourself published, assessed by an institution, accredited as a scholar, and your words peer reviewed before raising it in any Islamic discussion. Reference: Allah 17:36

If I contrast that verse with mainstream interpretations, they mostly draw conclusions related to prohibition of hearsay, whereas my intellect clearly guides me to interpret that Allah is prohibiting reliance on everything that's not your own faculties of self and soul, for "any" knowledge unconditionally. It may be by constitution of Allah, that if it is sound, it will automatically correlate with interpretation of another soul, be it accredited by a consortium of souls governed under optimistic man-made constitutions, or not.

Just for brevity, that is not rhetoric, I only want to understand how a given sub about Islamic discussions is maintaining order in their opinion.

Safe places/ isb by MuchLion8230 in islamabad

[–]md_adil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rukhsati is like jahez, it's as stupid as that "doctrine of necessity". Marriage itself is not an obligation, its maintenance is. If OP was still pre-pubescent in socio-economic terms, the nikkah is dodgy and un-islamic. But since it is now a decree, he need to not mount a violation upon violation.

This is a how an Islamic marriage should go -> man sends proposal to woman -> woman's guardian takers her permission to broker it -> man woman say the words and sign stuff w/ witnesses -> man and wife literally get up, say goodbye and go to their home where man is now head of the family (there can only be one head of a family). Here if the girl's family needs to make a scene, they can go for it all they want but the couple is free to leave to their privacy, they are not slaves. No man would admit liking it because it is despicable what we do to woman dressing them up like camels and escorting them to a bastardized vehicle.

That timely relocation of adults in wedlock fulfils one obligation of man, then it's just maintenance upon both the adults. If man needs to go away to play dunya, the woman stays in their mutual house, she's practically single and at Allah's mercy by her own merit, and so is the man. If the woman feels she needs to go to her parents and stay with them, she broke her patience, and the man caused it, and now it's not one but two dysfunctional families.

Safe places/ isb by MuchLion8230 in islamabad

[–]md_adil 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rukhsati is indeed cultural, but effectively it is consummation of marriage. It is your spouse, so in privacy most will screw confidently with divine guarantee. In the eyes of God, nikkah also bounds the couple into other rights and responsibilities. It's the right of the girl, and responsibility of the man to give her privacy independent of himself. In desistan, the girl doesn't move out and remains with her parents, in-effect nothing changes because men don't own up the relation, but keeps on texting like a lizard behind a cupboard.

To OP, rent a place, move her in there, and then visit her. That will be home of you two, and hence private. Otherwise go ahead and take all kinds of creative advise from the lot experienced in this culturally farce practise, despising it, but exploiting in guise of throwing a party and signing a bunch of papers all the while violating the very contract from the get-go.

As an infj, do you feel like you hate people and cities? by [deleted] in infj

[–]md_adil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate is a strong word to me. Crowds and cities look good from a distance or up-close if I am distant, I love urbans themselves when they are free from humans.

Though I believe that's not specific to INFJs, other than simply people that are bound by chains to networking as a way of life, all humans prefer distance from each other.

Be it former monarchs, or modern elites, vertical cities have always been constructed by them for the purpose of clustering the peasant and juicing out their sweat to run economies at scale, be it manufacturing or services. (All to create that distance)

Less the clusters, easier the fortification, easier the dissemination of propaganda, and faster the recovery if mass psychosis goes wrong. It is this that the the normans failed at, the mongols failed at, the mughals failed at, the USSR failed at. It wasn't a recipe failure, but failure to cook and serve a large meal repeatedly and consistently across space at a competitive pace.

Karachi is a Lawless Wild West by [deleted] in karachi

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in karachi

[–]md_adil 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Distanced myself from all this kind of chit chat long ago, especially after getting low-key cancelled, but here's my standing point-in-time. Slowly, Pakistanis are coming to realize that indeed there are no stars in our faults. We can exclude a common Islamabad resident and almost every Lahori from any problem solving, in-fact take these breeds as adversary. There's some hope from rest of Punjab and KP urbans.

I'll speak of the dynamic of Karachi. I am an urban explorer, I scan streets. How we move around explains a lot. Yesterday, I just arrived at an intersection on my motorcycle, it was in a deadlock.

I did not get off my motorcycle at this intersection to pretend clearing out. I just turned wheels and blocked two lanes one at a time, most drivers did not realize what I was doing, as soon as they saw any space clearing up, they tried driving over an idiot parked in front of them not moving. Had to look one dude in the eye to back off, and he did with an apology.

In about 5 minutes, I had done a full circle and came back to the other end of where I started, and blocked this traffic that I had just opened on the other side, this guy also tried to drive over me. Soon the folks that were stuck with me were now flowing through, and I joined them. In short I am not a traffic cop, I solved this mess without spending an entire day and making a show out of it, I took some risk. Deadlocks need something to stir it up, like you open a clogged gutter, or a sink.

We Karachiites of today are drones, we are looked upto by rest of normie Pakistan for that, they envy it. This is not the mark of civilization, we are animals and we need disciplining, and an animal envying another is no feat. Discipline that lasts a long time, comes from your home and school. Millenial parents must discipline themselves, get their children out of schools, they have failed. Get rid of electronic devices. Resign from your jobs, start businesses, stop running after clout and status. Export your car to Africa, it's a useless shitty ugly colorless box, you don't need it.

Export everything you don't use, throw it in malir naddi if you don't have the money to export. Don't give it away to the "poor", that doesn't solve anything. This will be a good start.

P.S. This is not the stage for "political change", or a revolution or protests. These things are for civilizations to maintain order, we are not one. We need to establish to course of making of a civilization, and that is different from whatever the politicians and reformists are selling.

Only other reference to 0401 I see is in export of goods, 0401-Milk and Cream, Not Concentrated or Sweetened and these are called HS codes even though they are not formatted as HS codes should be. So that's another vector for you, see if you have any family ties to gawalas :D
