On 19 March 2015 the Home Office announced that the Immigration Health Surcharge would be introduced on 6 April 2015. Such changes are traditionally introduced at a short notice to avoid the sudden increase in the volume of visa applications. The health surcharge, which does provide a very good value for money comparing to the other countries, will apply to non-EEA nationals who are applying for a student, work and a family visa (such as a Spouse visa) inside or outside the UK. It will apply to those making an application from 6 April 2015. Will it apply to those extending their stay in the same category? Yes, it will. For example, if you are on a Spouse visa now and need to extend it, you will be asked to pay the Health Surcharge at the point of applying for a visa. If you are on a Tier 2 or Tier 1 visa and applying for an extension (even in the same category), you will be asked to pay it. You won’t have to pay if you’re applying for an Indefinite Leave. How to determine wh...

“I've just got my British Citizen Certificate today (certificate of Naturalisation)   and I would like give a big thank you to Ms Lucy and her colleagues for all your dedication with my application. My process wasn't simple, nevertheless Lucy analysed, requested, reviewed and organised all my documentation very carefully in order to make my application successful. She was very quick replying to any of my enquiries and I do believe her work was essential to make my application successful regardless of my odd situation. I highly recommend Ms Lucy Crompton and her colleagues in 1 st 4Immigration, they are very responsive, competent, professional and have a lot of experience.” This came from Guilherme , a Brazilian national who is married to a Portuguese national. We made an application for British Citizenship without applying for permanent residency first. This worked because non-EEA spouses of EEA nationals gain their permanent residency automatically from the law, based on...
