We have a nice review about our Spouse visa services!

Image
Bahija, a UK/US citizen who needed help for a Spouse visa for her American/Lebanese husband: Thank you so much for helping us with the spouse visa. I cannot add anymore than what everyone else has said about 1st4immigration.  Natalia has been magnificent and together with Sebastian they coordinated with my daughter to prepare all the paper work. Natalia had originally told us that she couldn't help us as we didn't have all the documents required for the application so we knew what we needed to do. When we got all the requirements she agreed to proceed. We will recommend them to everyone. Will do it all over again in two and a half years. Thank you so much once again.

5 most common questions EVER about UK visas

We love UK immigration law! We enjoy explaining it in plain language, even with humour. There is plenty of stress involved in this process but it can also be fun learning about it. #1 My passport expired, do I need to get a new visa? #2 Can I get a British passport and keep my current nationality? #3 What is my status while waiting for decision? What if my visa expired before decision? Can I keep working? #4 Can I have my passport while waiting for a visa? #5 How does Brexit affect me? #1 My passport expired, do I need to get a new visa? The answer is both Yes and No. No, because you can travel with both passports. UK visas don't expire even if passport has expired. Also No, if you have a biometric visa card (BRP), you don’t have to apply for a new one until it expires. If, however, you have an old Indefinite Leave sticker in the passport (the one that says ‘Date of expiry – Indefinite’), you will have to apply for a new biometric ILR if you are wor...
