Family

We have years of experience over the range of applications that can be made under this heading, from family reunion applications, spouse and civil partner applications and applications for children, parents, grandparents or other dependant relatives to come to the UK. We are also able to assist family members of relevant Points-Based System migrants.

How to apply

Whilst the forms may appear straightforward, the requirements are stringent and it is essential that the form is completed accurately and comprehensively. In addition to this, all relevant documents must be submitted and without these a refusal will follow, even in an application which should have been granted.

The law itself can be complex and terms such as “maintenance and accommodation” and “sole responsibility” may not be clear to a non-lawyer. Whether a property is an appropriate size for the number of proposed inhabitants and how this is proved is another area in which people experience confusion.

In addition to this the law is constantly developing, with some very positive decisions recently being decided e.g. there can be multiple sponsors in an application.

Let us help

By thinking outside of the narrow confines of the immigration rules, and adopting a rights-based approach, we may find a solution to your problem where previously none had been identified.

These types of applications are often emotional and stressful for those involved. People want to be re-united with their loved ones as quickly as possible and can become frustrated with the form filling and documentary requirements of the Immigration Rules.

We will take the strain for you. Let us prepare the forms, advise you on the evidence that is needed and prepare the application for you. Not only will this ease your mind but it will also ensure that your application has the greatest chance of success.

We will work with you to ensure that your application is prepared professionally and comprehensively and can either offer a bespoke service or, alternatively, can check your application before you submit it yourself, at a one-off advice appointment.

If you have limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom as a refugee or beneficiary of humanitarian protection you can now sponsor your spouse or civil partner to come to the UK under the immigration rules.
