Thank you for your question.

You will be able to switch from your student visa to Tier 2 which is the work visa. There is a shortage occupation list which does include those jobs which are needed. You must have a confirmed offer of Employment with an employer who holds a valid Sponsor Licence and is willing to issue you with a Certificate of Sponsorship, you can find the list of sponsors online. You must also have savings to prove you can support yourself and this must have been held in your account for at least 90 days prior to your application. You must also prove your knowledge of English.

Thank you for your question.

Your wife and child can either apply for ILR 5 years from when they entered the UK or 5 years from when their visa was granted. If they apply 5 years from when  their visa was granted, the period between the visa being granted and the date they entered the UK will be counted as an absence. As they are dependants, their absences will not be counted. They can therefore apply at the earliest point they want.

Thank you for your question.

You may be able to extend your current visa if you apply for a further course. If you wish to find a job in the UK, you can switch to a Tier 2 visa. You must have a confirmed offer of Employment with an employer who holds a valid Sponsor Licence and is willing to issue you with a Certificate of Sponsorship. A Tier 2 visa can be issued for 3 years although this depends on the employer. You should find a job which is relevant to your Master’s degree. We are unable to advise you on finding jobs in the rest of Europe.

Dear sir,

It is very unfortunate that your visa is due to expire, however, we would not encourage you overstay in the UK, because a Sponsor Licence  application can take a few weeks to be processed.

For more information, a Business Immigration Solicitor at our firm who specialises with Tier 2 visas shall contact you shortly.  

Dear Sirs,

I hope this finds you well.

Thank you for the enquiry you sent us.

Yes, there is some changes but you would still need to have a sponsor sponsoring you in the UK and you would need to have CoS in order to switch to Tier 2.

Should you need further information, I suggest you book an initial consultation to see us to discuss your option in the UK.

Dear Sir, once an individual transfers onto the partner route which is a 5 year route to settlement, the individual must complete a full 5 years before being eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules.  Leave to enter or remain, can only be amalgamated in order to meet the continuous residence for the purposes of applying Indefinite Leave to Remain based on the long residence policy (10 years lawful leave to remain). We trust this information proves useful. Nevertheless, an immigration advisor from OTS Solicitors. 

Dear sir, the Home Office has unfortunately refused your application under Paragraph 322(5) because the income which you had confirmed that you had received from your activities as self-Employment in your application for leave to remain/ILR did not reflect the figures provided to the HRMC. Regardless of whether you have now gone back and confirmed the correct figure and paid the correct amount of tax which previously fell due, the Home Office have taken the view that you would not have received the appropriate points required had you declared the figures given to the HRMC to the Home Office as the time of your previous applications for leave to remain as a Tier 1 (General) migrant.  A member of our Business Immigration team shall be in touch with you shortly, should you wish to discuss the decision in further details and your options moving forward.

Dear Sir/Madam, as long as you can show that your EEA Partner has been exercising Treaty Rights for the last 5 years and that you have been living as their partner during this period, then you would be eligible to apply now and do not need to wait until 2021.  We can confirm that a member of OTS Solicitors shall be in touch shortly to discuss the requirements of Permanent Residence under the EEA regulations.  

I understand that you have a pending appeal in May 2018 regarding the decision to refuse your EEA application. You stated you currently have an Irish residence card and have applied to be recognised as the Family Member of an EEA national. I tried to call you in order to establish some more details with respect to your application. I am assuming that you have made the application as the family member of your son who is an EEA national and that this application for a registration certificate was refused. You have asked what you can do as the Respondent, in this case the Home Office, have not provided the documents to you yet that they have been directed to provide. It is possible to chase the Presenting Officer’s Unit for these documents and I can assist you with doing this. From your enquiry it would appear that you did not seek legal advice prior to filing the appeal and are acting as a litigant in person. This can be quite daunting and you are likely to find the issues arising during the appeal process complicated. In order to help you to prepare for the appeal and stand the best chance of success I would strongly recommend you seek legal advice. We offer an hour long consultation where I can go through your documents and provide you with detailed advice with respect to your matter. This would include advice on obtain a Barrister to represent you for the hearing and ensuring that you comply with the directions of the Tribunal ahead of the hearing, in particular preparing an indexed and paginated bundle of documents to support your appeal and ensuring these are served on the parties correctly and in good time. 

Dear Elena,

Thank you for your immigraton enquiry.

It would be helpful to meet with you to get some further details from you in relation to your enquiry in order to give you the appropriate legal advice. However, on the basis of what you have advised it would appear that the issue with your original application is not necessarily a procedural error but that the Home Office have not accepted the evidence that you have provided as sufficient evidence that you are in the country. Although a bank statement may indicate that you are in the country, alone this well not necessarily be sufficient evidence. If this is the case then it may not be possible to address the matter with a reconsideration request and it may be necessary to submit a fresh application for naturalisation. Furthermore, as you rightly pointed out there is no timescale for a reconsideration to be dealt with so it could be a significant period of time before you get a response to your request and it is possible that the Home Office may refused to reconsider my application. If you are able to come in to our office and bring the documents that you submitted with your previous application and the letter with the reasons for refusal of your application I will be able to go through these and give you detailed advice as to the best route to you obtaining British naturalisation in your case.

Dear Sir, when a British Citizen sponsors their family members to join them in the UK under Appendix FM, as their sponsor, you have to show an intention to remain and reside in the UK with your partner.

For us to further ascertain  whether your wife and children could live in the UK whilst you work abroad, please arrange a consultation with one of our immigration advisors who would be happy to assist you with your query. 

Dear Madam, we understand that your husband has filed a judicial review. This would mean that it would be up to the Immigration Tribunal Judge at the Upper Tier Tribunal to decide whether your husband’s claim ought to have given rise to an in-country right to appeal and whether the certification of his  appeal should be lifted.  If you would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact us for a consultation with one of our Immigration & Public law specialists. 

Dear Sir, we would encourage you to make a simple correction on the printed application and provide an explanation of the correct, and as you have suggested, add a note to confirm that it was you, the Applicant who is making changes and sign it.  Failing to send your printed paper application would not bode well with the Home Office.  Should you require any further advice on this matter, please contact OTS Solicitors and you shall be put in touch with a member of staff which specialises in Permanent Residence applications. 

Dear sir, unfortunately, we are unable to expedite an out of country administrative review or attempt to persuade the UKVI to show leniency. An administrative review is a review of the decision in light of an error in the application of the immigration rules or consideration of material evidence submitted at the time of the application.  Should you wish to continue to attempt to provide a letter of leniency, it can form part of your administrative review grounds. A member of OTS solicitors shall be in touch, should you wish to speak to us in depth about your administrative review or the process of reapplying for your Tier 4 visa.

Your brother and his future wife will have to meet all of the requirements under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. His wife to be must meet the English language requirement unless she is exempt (We can advise you as to when one is exempt from meeting this requirement).

You cannot fast track an application by virtue of the death certificate. You will have to provide the death certificate as evidence anyway to prove that your brother was legally free to marry for the second time.

The only way to fast track an application is to pay for a premium service which will ensure that a decision is reached within 15 working days from the date the biometric information is enrolled at the relevant visa application centre. Otherwise, it could take up to 12 weeks for the entry clearance officer to make a decision.

When someone makes an application for Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK under the Protection Route, the Home Office can if they wish, reassess the situation in the Applicant's country of nationality. They can also ask for evidence from the Applicant to demonstrate that they continue to fear persecution as a result of their change in faith. 

In such situations, it is important to liaise with the Home Office adequately to ensure they understand the current circumstances of the Applicant applying for settlement. In your situation, it is paramount that you provide detailed information to the Home Office about the medical issues as well as evidence of the fact that you continue to fear persecution in Iran owing to your change in faith.

Thank you for your enquiry.

Your son may wish to write to the Home Office asking them to clarify that he is no longer a student under Tier 4 and that they recognise him as a European national studying in the UK. Should the Home Office respond to him in writing, he may wish to forward their correspondence to the university in view of challenging their policy. 

Please note his immigration status is not being disputed and it seems as though the university have adopted quite a drastic policy for your son. Unfortunately, if the university maintains that this is their policy, your son will most likely have no choice but to adhere to their rules. 

We could represent your son in liaising with the Home Office and university to try and resolve his problems.

Thank you for your question. You may have a number of options available to you. If you wish to come to the UK to work, you will need to obtain a Tier 2 (General) Visa or a Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) Visa from an employer who holds a UK Sponsor Licence , (if you current employer has an office in the UK).

If you can show you have a well-foundered fear of persecution in Iraq, you may be able to claim Asylum in the UK. However, you may be best to seek legal advice before exploring this option as it is not legally possible to apply for Asylum from outside the UK.

You could also look at coming to the UK on a Tier 4 (Student) Visa, however, it is becoming increasingly difficult for international students to remain in the UK after their course finishes.
