UK Immigration & Visa Immigration Solicitors

We advise on all forms of Leave to Remain, including extensions under family, work, private life and long-residence routes. Getting this stage right is critical – errors here can jeopardise your path to settlement or create gaps in lawful residence.

• Extensions under partner, parent and private life rules
• 10-year lawful residence and long-residence applications
• Switching categories and resolving gaps or overstays

If you are close to a deadline or unsure which form to use, speak to us before you apply.

Visit visa refusals often come down to how your ties, finances and intentions are presented. We help you prepare a clear, well-supported application that addresses the Home Office’s concerns head-on.

• Standard visitor visas to see family or friends
• Business visits, conferences and short-term work-related visits
• Re-applications after previous refusals or bans

If you’ve been refused before, we can review the refusal reasons and build a stronger application strategy.

We have extensive experience with spouse, partner and fiancé(e) visas – including cases involving complex financial requirements, previous refusals and overseas applications under tight timeframes.

• Initial applications and extensions for spouses and partners
• Complex finances, self-employment and combined income sources
• Cases involving children, health issues or long-distance relationships

Many of our clients come to us after hearing “your case is too risky”. We analyse the rules in detail, explain your prospects honestly and build the strongest case possible.

Post-Brexit rules for EU, EEA and Swiss nationals – and their family members – remain confusing. We help you understand your rights under the EU Settlement Scheme and related routes.

If you are unsure whether you still qualify or how to prove your residence, book a call back and we’ll talk it through.

A refusal doesn’t always mean the end of the road. In many cases, challenging the decision – rather than re-applying blindly – is the more effective option.

• Appeals to the First-tier and Upper Tribunal
• Administrative reviews for points-based and other decisions
• Re-applications after refusal, with targeted legal submissions

We will review your refusal letter, explain your realistic options and help you decide whether to appeal, seek a review or re-apply.

Where there is no right of appeal, or you have been treated unlawfully by the Home Office or an entry clearance post, judicial review may be appropriate. This is a highly technical area which our team is experienced in handling.

• Assessing whether a decision is arguably unlawful or irrational
• Pre-action correspondence and negotiations
• Judicial review proceedings in the Upper Tribunal or High Court

If you feel a Home Office decision is simply wrong or unfair, don’t assume nothing can be done – let us assess it for you.
