“All of us are so happy. Successfully; We had our visas. Neil, we can't find the appropriate words to express how much we appreciate your efforts; you are an experienced, responsible, clever and respectable person. We don't know what to say except a lot of thanks to you. You and your excellent and cooperative team distinguish the 1st 4 immigration Ltd to be a very professional immigration office. Thank you so much for your great efforts. We found your support in all of our minor and major issues. You promised and you did it in a very short time.

You always assured us, and replied quickly to remove our worries by a strong eraser; that is your calming words. Your good behavior obligated us to trust you very much. We became sure that we are in safe hands. We had a great relief to know that any time we need help; for sure you will always be there. You were supportive, encouraging and pushing us forwards. We got confident that our business plan will be very powerful, and also that our application will be successful, and all this confidence came true.

When we read the business plan we said … what a marvelous business plan! You helped us a lot in the market research and in the business tiny details such as the licenses, premises, particularly contacts with real estate agents, and the local council, even you advised us about an accountant. In other words you filled every gap in the business plan … YOU WROTE A VERY POWERFUL BUSINESS PLAN.

Regarding the guidance of our ongoing application; you didn't leave any detail without  covering it and explaining it thoroughly to us. All the requirements for the visa application had a precise care from you. Really your efforts were beyond our expectations. We are so happy and for sure are appreciating.

Even after we had our visas successfully, you didn't leave us. You asked us to ensure that we travel in time, and that we should collect the BRP’s and register with the Police in time, and you sent us the details in case we need them. That is how to be a responsible person to the last moment of every responsibility. THANK YOU SO MUCH and see you soon in the UK.”

Those very kind words came from Lilian, an Egyptian national. Lilian and her family applied for entry clearance in Egypt, together with another family member acting as an entrepreneurial team. There were 2 main applicants and one of them had a family as dependants.

Our company also helped to prepare a business plan, which is compulsory for Entrepreneur visa applications. Our client had their own physiotherapy and beauty business in Cairo and were planning to open a similar business in the UK.

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 long can a visitor stay in the UK? 6 months from each entry? In a year? In a calendar year?

By 1st 4Immigration - #1 UK Immigration Experts -
Visitors can come to the UK for purposes of tourism, visiting friends, business visits and similar. Visitors can stay for maximum 6 months in each 12 months . Not 6 months from each entry to the UK. Even if your visitor visa is for 5 or 10 years you can still stay for maximum 180 days in each of those years. How to count ‘6 months in 12 months’? A 12 months period starts from ‘now’, date in question or date of entry etc and you need to count backwards (not a calendar year). If you stayed in the UK for the whole 6 months then you have to stay away for the whole 6 months. If you come and go several times during a year then the total must be 180 days cumulatively in the last 12 months. Visitor rules are the same for all. Visitor visa rules aren’t. Visitor rules include: purpose of visits, no right to work, no right to use the NHS, no right to use the public funds (benefits), no right to switch to more serious visas inside the UK, ie no right to switch to a Spouse

💸 10 common mistakes when meeting the Financial Requirement £18,600 for a UK Spouse visa

By -

#1 Most common - submitting “everything I have’.  Some payslips, a tax return, some savings plus a property deed for good measure. Surely, should work? It may sound logical to provide as much as possible, this is often a nightmare scenario for immigration lawyers and often a direct path to a visa refusal. Financial Requirement is strictly based on the ‘rules’: what income can be used, how various sources can be combined and what documents are needed. We often say there is 75-page office guidance just on the finances: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/636618/Appendix_FM_1_7_Financial_Requirement_Final.pdf  #2 Savings - it’s not £18,600 and not £16,000.  The real amount (for this purpose) is calculated using this formula: threshold you need to meet (such as £18,600) x 2.5 plus £16,000. If you are using savings alone, it would be £18,600 x 2.5 + £16,000 = £62,500!  #3 Employment -  the minimum is 6 months for the sa
