Timely submission of your Self Assessment to HMRC is crucial, as it demonstrates compliance with tax obligations. While late submission itself may not directly impact your ILR application, it’s essential to note that immigration rules and requirements can change. Delays or non-compliance with tax regulations could potentially affect your overall immigration status. To ensure a smooth application process and compliance with all relevant regulations, we recommend seeking advice from an immigration solicitor who can provide personalised guidance based on the latest legal developments and your specific circumstances. We would advise that you communicate with our immigration solicitors to assess your options and guide you through the process based on your specific circumstances.For more information, please contact us on 02039599123 or click here

Clearing the police case is a positive step, but immigration matters can be complex and any previous immigration history will need to be addressed. We would advise that you communicate with our immigration solicitors to assess your options and guide you through the process based on your specific circumstances.For more information, please contact us on 02039599123 or click here 

Given your current situation where your university has withdrawn you from your Tier 4 course, and you’re awaiting the outcome, you may wish to contact the Home Office or UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) to inquire about the status of your visa.

Typically, if an appeal is ongoing, the applicant will have 3C leave enabling you to remain in the country until the outcome of the decision. You may wish to seek guidance from an immigration solicitor who can provide personalised advice based on your circumstances and assist in exploring options for visa extensions or alternative categories.

Carefully review the refusal notice to understand the specific reasons for rejection and act within the specified timeframe for your chosen option. Seeking guidance from an immigration solicitor is advisable, as they can provide tailored advice, help address any deficiencies in your application, and ensure you have the necessary documentation to support your case during the review or appeal process.

As an individual with Settled Status in the UK, you may be eligible to sponsor your mother’s visa application, allowing her to join you in the UK. The specific visa she might apply for depends on various factors, such as her age, financial dependency, and your own immigration status.

If you’ve entered the UK on a dependent visa, the cancellation or withdrawal of a dependent visa isn’t a decision solely within the rights of the sponsor without valid grounds. While your spouse, as the sponsor, might have some influence over the visa status, demanding money or threatening to cancel your visa without justifiable reasons isn’t within their rights. The decision ultimately lies with the Home Office, and they may consider various factors when reviewing your application, including the reasons for your absences and your ties to the UK.
