New successful case and testimonial on Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR, permanent residency visa) for a Tunisian spouse of a UK citizen.

“Lucy & Natalia, Thanks so much to you and your team for your support during my wife’s ILR visa process. As with her spouse visa (which we did 2 years ago, it was an extension), you guided us through everything with patience and professionalism, and we really appreciate the “hand-holding” that you offered throughout the process. We couldn’t have done it without you, or at least we couldn’t have done it without spending lots of extra money on failed attempts, wasting lots of time and sprouting lots of grey hairs. Your service isn’t cheap (as all good things in life – 1st 4Immigration) but as a repeat customer I am certain that it represents incredible value for money.”
 
These nice – and fair – words came from Pirran, a British national whose wife was from Tunisia. First we helped to extend a spouse visa 2 years ago and now we helped to secure ILR. Since the 1st spouse visa was issued before 9 July 2012, these clients were able to extend (there were reasons not to apply for ILR then) and secure ILR under the “old Rules”, ie under the Rules which were in place before 9 July 2012. Namely, there was no Financial Requirement (£18,600). We made an application on same-day service in Croydon and all went well on the day.
 
 
The next step will be to apply for British Citizenship, which in theory can be done immediately, because spouses of Brits don’t have to wait for 12 months after securing ILR. However, there are also other requirements, such as on absences from the UK, which have to be observed. The good thing about applications for Citizenship is that we don’t submit the original passports, so our clients can travel abroad while their applications are being considered.
 
The immigration advice can indeed be expensive these days, particularly from a reputable and experienced immigration firm. The reasons are expertise as well as having to work with the ever-changing rules and regulations, which in turn requires more of our time spent on each application, making sure every single aspect and document is correct. On the other hand, submitting an application which gets refused means losing even more money and time.
 
 
Our result is 100% success rate with spouses and partners!  We also provide immigration training for fellow immigration advisers and solicitors, which is accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).
