Is there anything my good friend can do against such ridiculousness?
Thanks everyone in advance...
this is very very serious. On no account should an employer be paid for responding to questions from INZ. If your friend cant resolve the issue with the employer, then he should advise the case officer of what has occurred.
If the employer himself is a (former) migrant, he could faces penalties such as having his own residence revoked, if convicted of an offence of exploiting migrants.
