New successful case and testimonial for a UK entry clearance from India for a Partner of British citizen.

By 1st 4Immigration - #1 UK Immigration Experts -
“Hi Joanne, we, would like to thank you and the team for the excellent Professional advice, guidance, support, and detailed attention to our Case and prompt daily response to our queries during the ongoing application stage and submission of the Case for a Fiancée / Settlement Visa. The Application was successful, which we are truly grateful for. Without your  professional guidance and knowledge we are sure we would not have been able to achieve my Visa. Your understanding and sympathetic way of handling our Case was outstanding. The time you gave to us will always be gratefully acknowledged in our hearts and remembered fondly. It felt as though we were part of a family and had known you for years. The Confidentiality of our case was important and this was given throughout. We wish you many more successes in the future with further clients. We shall be proceeding further with you during the next stage of my Settlement Visa. We are now residing in the UK having left my home in Goa to be with Alex in the UK and get married on the 18th May 2016. Sincere thanks from us both. Wishing you and all the 1st 4 Immigration staff a very happy and Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year in 2016. We would certainly thoroughly recommend 1st 4 Immigration for any transaction in dealing with Visas.”                                                           
This came from Sandip and Alex, a British-Indian couple who applied for an Entry Clearance in India and after some waiting, all went well. The next step for Sandip will be to renew a visa after 2.5 years and then to apply for permanent residency after 5 years. Both steps can be done using same-day service, such as the one we use in Croydon.

Updated May 2020: UK visa work continues - latest update

By -
UK immigration authorities continue to process visa applications, albeit not as fast as they normally would. The visa centres are beginning to gradually re-opening from 1 June 2020 in the UK and abroad. Regardless of when your particular centre re-opens, it is still possible to submit your application online. If your visa expires soon, you can apply for your next visa "on-time", i.e. before your current visa expires, by making such an application online and then waiting for the further steps. This keeps you within the Rules and does not make you an overstayer.  Even better, the actual documents (supporting evidence) can be submitted later, thus giving you even more time to prepare while remaining within the Rule on visa expiry dates. We usually have 45 days to provide the documents (ie upload them online to the Government portal) after the online "submission" mentioned above. This is extended for as long as it will take to clear up the backlog.  If you...

How do we know? We, 1 st 4Immigration Ltd,   were chosen by the UKVI to take part in a survey to provide a feedback on the upcoming system. We are very honoured! As can be seen on the Home Office letter (pictured), we were selected as one of only approximately 50 firms in the whole country, following the request of the Home Office to the OISC. We had a visit from 2 Home Office officials in November 2017. What a great day and what a productive visit! The officials informed us they had been trying hard to promote the online application process for in-country applications, such as FLR(M) for spouses and partners of UK citizens. The online applications have existed for entry clearance (when applying outside the UK) for many years now. Yet the in-country online application process has so far been relatively unknown and unused. It can be found here: https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/product/family-routes At the moment most FLR(M) and FLR(FP) applications ar...
