New successful case and testimonial on a visa extension for a Chinese spouse of a UK citizen. Financial Requirement was met using Savings, which were proceeds from property.

“ My wife and I and selected 1st 4Immigration’s express service for the extension of her UK Spouse Visa (Leave to remain). We had handled my wife’s first spouse visa application (Leave to Enter) ourselves and whilst it was successful and I am fairly confident and experienced in dealing with procedural and legal documentation, I felt strongly that I wanted a reliable and more caring source of information to help us with our application for her extension. One of the major causes of stress and concern during our first application was the level of ambiguity that we received from the outsourced overseas agency that handled our visa application and their unwillingness to provide any guidance when printed and website documentation was unclear.

This is a unique experience amongst many service industri...

We were contacted by a writer from The Economist, seeking advice on the immigration rules for spouses. European spouses of British citizens (on the matter of remaining in the UK after Brexit) as well as British spouses of European citizens (on the matter of Brits living in Europe).

The most popular enquiry is about becoming a British Citizen, so a status becomes protected, Brexit or not.
