Another great Google review about our French Schengen visa services.

By 1st 4Immigration - #1 UK Immigration Experts -
“I am happy about the service, the response via email is very quick and the visa was ready in 3 days time. Even though the cost is quite expensive, but it’s all worth it. After I sent out all the documents, I just had to take photo and fingerprints and treated as Premium visa applicant.”  

These nice – and fair – words came from Yuyun, an Indonesian national who successfully secured a French Schengen visa through us. 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 close to 100% success rate!  We also provide immigration services for UK visas and British Citizenship as well as training for fellow immigration advisers and solicitors, which is accredited for Continuing Professional Development (CPD). It is well-worth paying for good advice!

What did Yuyun mean by being treated as a Premium visa applicant? French Consulate now issues biometric visas, so every applicant has to come with us on the date of appointment - to provide biometrics (fingerprints). However, as one of just a handful of officially accredited visa agencies, we submit applications in the morning on the day of appointment, which is normally next day or day after we received your documents and a payment, maybe a couple of days more during the busy travel times, while clients need to come to a visa centre just for the biometrics (fingerprints) in the afternoon, so no need to wait and queue for the submission of documents, it is done by us in the morning.

From the date of biometrics 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.

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
