Thank you for your enquiry.

If you meet the relevant requirements and eligibility, your wife and any dependents may be able to apply under the spouse visa route. There are specific financial requirements that need to be met and your partner will usually be granted 30 months initially.

Once again, the Team at OTS have not let me down! Reshmi Chowdhury has been outstanding throughout my Visa renewal, always cheerful, helpful and extremely professional. Bureaucratic red tape is confusing at the best of times and Reshmi has made the whole process seamless from start to finish. Her attention to detail and excellent communication throughout cannot go without praise! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I would not hesitate to recommend Reshmi and OTS. - W.Park Case Workers: Reshmi Chowdhury

Rakesh Patel at OTS Solicitors handled my ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain) application via the Ancestry route. My case had some complications, but Rakesh was thorough, responsive, and reassuring throughout the entire process. He prepared a strong application, kept me informed at every stage, and the whole matter was resolved quickly — I received my ILR within one working day of my biometrics appointment. I'd highly recommend Rakesh and OTS Solicitors to anyone needing immigration advice. Five stars well deserved. Samuel Case Workers: Rakesh Patel
