UK Visas and British Citizenship

This was a recent article on The Daily Mail website, dated 1 February 2017: South African wife is ordered to leave UK in 28 days because Home Office say she isn't earning enough as she ploughs everything into her business , the full article can be found here: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4175862/South-African-wife-ordered-leave-UK-28-days.html It is a continuation to the subject of minimum income threshold (£18,600) for spouses and partners of British citizens, applying for a Spouse/Partner visa. In this case, as we understand, it was a visa extension, ie the next visa after the initial 2.5 years of residency in the UK. The article headline sounds very dramatic (probably has to be for the newspaper), but here is our analysis, based on the limited information provided in the article. The South African spouse was most likely given the right of appeal against the decision of the UK Visas and Immigration (The Home Office). If she appeals on time, within 14...

A business plan is compulsory for a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) visa application! As an OISC-accredited immigration firm, we have been dealing with the Entrepreneur visa applications for our clients for several years.  Our experience allowed us to develop a unique approach to creating the business plans from a Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa point of view. Instead of using standard templates, we focus on what the visa officers want to see, ie what a migrant will be required to do while holding this visa: investment of £200,000 and what they are going to spend it on. For example, paying yourself a salary is not counted, yet it is very common for clients to do this. We benefit from our successful casework experience and our clients' interviews - and we are offering to help you too!    Another example will be including a plan of creating 2 jobs and that they will be for ‘settled’ people. Most standard internet- or accounting-based business plan...

“Having been born & lived in the UK all my life, I have never really understood or thought that I needed to understand the whole UK visa/immigration process. When I had to apply for my spouse’s visa, at first I felt uninformed, totally lost and feared that the process would be long, stressful and costly, that was until I was advised to contact 1st 4Immigration. From the very first meeting with them, their professionalism and speed in replying to my emails throughout the whole process gave me great peace of mind. Knowing they were ‘in my corner’ offering straight forward advice was also invaluable. Thanks to all their efforts, the application was successful at the first attempt and I have no hesitation in recommending them (and I already have done so) to anyone that may require any immigration advice. 1st 4Immigration turned what, at the time, I thought was the worst experience of my life into just a simple admin process!”   This came from Neil who is a British national; ...
