"Great service and super efficiency! Highly recommended :)" Qing, Chinese national This came from Qing who applied for her French Schengen visa through us this week. She was issued a multi entry visa for a year within 3 working days.  It is possible to obtain a French Schengen visa within 3-4 working days from the date of appointment for most nationals, such as South African, Thai, Filipino, Russian, Indian, Chinese and most others. We can also assist with the German and Portuguese Schengen visas. The good thing about applying through French Embassy is that they tend to issuer longer, multiple-entry, visas. Although you have to go through a very stringent process of application, you may have a visa lasting for several years.  Contact us at Multi Travel Visas: German Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/schengen-visa-germany.php Portuguese Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/schengen-visa-portugal.php French Sch...

“Wow! Why did no-one tell me about them before? Visa sorted within 3 days (the week before Christmas, no less), when I couldn't find a booking at any of the embassy vendors to get a visa. If I hadn't have used MultiTravelVisas, I would have had to cancel my holiday. Well worth the money! 4 minutes in the queue to take biometrics. That was it! Thanks for amazing service, guys! ” This came from Peter who posted a review about our services on Google.

When you are applying for your 1 st Spouse visa, you need the most basic A1 level. This is true whether you are applying outside the UK or switching from another category inside the UK.   After the 1 st Spouse visa you will need an extension. At the moment at that stage you would still need the same A1 level, so at the moment you wouldn’t need to worry about this rule at all. From May 2017, however, you would need to demonstrate a higher A2 level when applying for extension.   After that you could normally apply for a permanent visa. This is where an even higher B1 level would be needed.   For an individual advice or to make an application please contact us: info@1st4immigration.com   or read testimonials on   http://www.1st4immigration.com/testimonials.php   We also have a very good post earlier on the confusion between A1 and B1 level when applying for “settlement”, as many spouses applying outside the UK are ...

In fact, there are only 6 levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2. A1 being the most basic and B1 the highest and hardest to score. As much as it may seem the UK Immigration Rules are making these levels hard to understand, it is actually a common European framework known as CEFR. So, there are the same levels in French or Spanish etc. Our of these 6 levels only 3 are used in the UK visa applications. Furthermore, there are 4 components at each level: Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. Which level you need depends on the Rules applicable to your UK visa category. It is mentioned in the Immigration Rules for a given visa type. The Rules also say whether you need all 4 components or only some of them. For example, Spouses of UK citizens initially only need a most basic A1 level and only in Speaking and Listening. Tier 1 Entrepreneur migrants need a B1 level in all 4 components. Most migrants applying for settlement need a B1 level too but only in Speaking ...
