- Tier 3: Low skilled, temporary workers
- Tier 4: Students
- Tier 5: Temporary workers
Visit Visas and Family-based Immigration
We also assist those seeking to enter the UK through general and family visas, including visit visas, marriage visas and fiancé visas. Other family-based immigration options include:
- Spouses and fiancés: Visas and immigration options are available to spouses and fiancés of UK citizens and those who are already temporarily or permanently in the UK.
- Children: UK citizens and those with temporary or permanent residency may bring their non-resident children to the UK.
- Elderly dependent relatives: Parents, grandparents and other elderly family members may come to live permanently in the UK as an elderly dependent relative of someone who is already a permanent resident.
The Immigration Process
Our solicitors will guide you through the visa application process, ensuring all of the documents required for your visa are complete and accurate.
The Tier 1 High Value Migrants (formerly the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme (HSMP)) is currently closed for Skilled Migrants. If you wish to enter the country for employment reasons, you must apply under the Tier 2 category.
No matter which visa you are applying for, our solicitors have the experience, knowledge and resources to assist you. We are deeply familiar with employment- and family-based immigration in England, and we pride ourselves on our quality of work and a high success rate.
To review the processing times for individual visas and for more information about the immigration process, visit the UK Border Agency website, which can be found on our page of useful links.
