How our immigration solicitors in Reading can help

UK Visas

It is no secret that securing a UK visa can be a very complicated process, with there being plenty of hoops to jump through for an application to be successful. Even in situations where you feel confident that you meet the necessary requirements, there is still plenty of paperwork which needs to be completed, as well as supporting evidence that needs to be submitted.

Any errors which are made during this process could result in an application being rejected, meaning you may have to start again from scratch, which could prove to be very costly.

Our immigration solicitors in Reading can support you with UK visas, whether you require help with the process of applying for a new visa, renewing an existing visa, or dealing with a visa rejection.

Our expertise with UK visas includes:

UK Visitor visas
UK Student visas
Child Student visas
UK Partner visas
UK Civil Partnership visas
UK Family visas
UK Spousal visas
UK Child Dependent visas
UK Sports visas
UK Ancestry visas

We can also advise on the full range of UK work visas for people planning to work in the UK.

EU immigration law & Brexit immigration solutions

Following the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU) and the end of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020, there have been a number of changes to immigration policies which you need to be aware of. Citizens of EU and EEA countries are now required to follow the same immigration policies as citizens from other countries, which means that it is important to understand the exact rules that apply to your situation.

Our immigration solicitors have advised EU and EEA citizens from all walks of life to deal with UK immigration laws, providing straightforward advice to help you secure your right to visit, study in, or live in the UK.

We can assist with issues such as:

UK visa requirements
UK visa renewals
Changing your UK visa
Late applications under the EU Settlement Scheme
Applying for British citizenship

British citizenship/Nationality and Indefinite Leave to Remain

Where you have lived in the UK for long enough, you may be given the right to apply for what is known as ‘indefinite leave to remain’. Indefinite leave to remain allows you to permanently settle in the UK and provides the first step towards acquiring British citizenship.

As can be expected, there are strict procedures in place for securing indefinite leave to remain and subsequent British citizenship. The process is also long and expensive, which means having the support and guidance of an expert immigration solicitor is essential to make sure there are no mistakes which cause delays or lead to the application being rejected.

Our immigration solicitors in Reading can advise on:

Indefinite leave to remain
Settled status (i.e. ‘indefinite leave to remain under the EU Settlement Scheme’)
Indefinite leave to enter the UK (when moving from abroad)
British citizenship applications

International home working

The COVID-19 pandemic caused irreversible changes to perceptions of remote working, with it now being more common than ever before. By extension, international home working has also become more common. While this certainly has many advantages, it is also important to note that there are certain immigration and employment law implications of such an arrangement.

If you are an international home worker, your employment rights extend to the country where you are based, not where your employer is based.

Our immigration solicitors can advise on:

Understanding your international home working rights and restrictions
Applying for a UK work visa (where required)

Immigration advice for businesses

We also offer immigration services to businesses and organisations that require the skills employees and professionals from abroad.
