Bespoke Russian Visa service and Visa support (invitations).

Multi Travel Visas o ffers bespoke Russian visa service. It is very fast and convenient and a visa applicant can submit an application - and biometrics - at our office in the City of London (Monument area). This service allows us to act as a visa centre and collect the biometrics (fingerprints) at our office in the City of London , which is easily accessible by all transport links. Under this procedure we prepare an application form, check the documents, order a visa invitation if needed. Then, rather than going to the visa centre and queuing there for hours, we will provide a biometric kit at our office. Conveniently, you would have a 1 – 1.5 hour window to come to our office (the day/time pre-arranged as convenient). Right here, on the spot, and without queuing, you will be able to provide the biometrics (fingerprints), we will ‘submit’ your documents and pay the application fees to the official staff operating the biometric kit (here at our office). If there are any issues w

English language for spouses of UK citizens for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR, permanent residency). Which is the right level needed in an English exam, A1 or B1? How do I find it in the Rules?

Here we explain how to use the Immigration Rules and where to find something you may be having doubts about or hearing different answers from different people. This time it’s the turn of ILR! Spouses of UK citizens only need the basic A1 level when applying for an initial visa or for an extension (but   not for ILR). There is a common myth that it is a B1 level but it is wrong. Yet at the ILR stage a spouse of a UK citizen needs a higher,   B1, level. Here it is in the Rules: we go to Appendix FM https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/immigration-rules-appendix-fm In Family Life as a Partner we have a section called Section R-ILRP: Requirements for indefinite leave to remain (settlement) as a partner and then a sub-section called Section E-ILRP: Eligibility for indefinite leave to remain as a partner: “E-ILRP.1.6. The applicant must have demonstrated sufficient knowledge of the English language and sufficient knowledge about life in the United Kingdom in accordance wi

New successful case and testimonial on Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK for a Pakistani national, applying on the basis of 5 years in the Tier 1 General category.

“Joanne , today my application was successful and I am really grateful to you and Christina for all the help. I am very happy for the service you have provided. I would highly recommend yourselves to anyone. I will not look somewhere else for immigration-related services next time and will return to yourselves. The experience has been great and it was only possible with your help. Thanks .” This came from Imran, a Pakistani national, who had spent 5 years in the UK on Tier 1 General visas and was now eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR, permanent residency).   Imran chose to apply using same-day service in Croydon, which we happily assisted with and all went smoothly on the day. The next step will be applying for British Citizenship after 1 year (unless the applicant is married to a UK citizen, then there is no need to wait for a year).     For an individual advice or to make your application as successful please contact us: info@1st4immigration.com or visi
