    If you are surprised by the responses you are getting then its says a lot about YOUR character. Most decent people anywhere (HK, China or the North pole) would tell you to mind your own f%$&*#$ business and rightfully so.

    I haven't read the last 10-15 responses but why not do the old fashioned why and follow him from home a few days to see what he is doing.

    The only foul language was from one poster who always uses it. Don't see any insecurity from anyone - but I have just remembered this:

    See answer no 9 - who is insecure then???

    In that case, wouldn't it have been simpler for jobin to ask "Is it easy for my neighbor to determine my visa status?" or "How confidential is my visa status?" instead of proposing the scenario that they did...?

    Wow, SS, I am very impressed - brilliant. I've got to think now about whether or not that makes me feel more empathy for the OP...

    He doesn't want to admit it of course.

    Just like the ' My Friend is in a spot of trouble' type posts. Everybody knows the hypothetical 'Friend, Colleague' etc etc is them.
