New testimonial on fast UK passport renewal service for a British citizen residing in the USA

"An unexpected business trip needed to happen with 2 weeks notice, the UK passport processing time for overseas passports was roughly 8 weeks, the prospect of making the trip seemed bleak. I contacted the local consulate to make an appointment for Emergency Travel Documents, I was pointed to the appropriate website to book an appointment, the earliest available time was in 29 days, this seemed to contradict the meaning of 'Emergency' as I had known its meaning to be. I made two queries to Multi Travel Visas, the replies were precise and helpful and a few days later they received my application form for a passport renewal. The passport photos I supplied which I was assured by the establishment where they were taken were well within all the requirements turned out not to be.  Harpreet contacted me swiftly and asked me to supply him with new photos and supplied a better photo requirement guide, and astonishingly said that I could email him the photos and they woul

New testimonial on fast UK passport renewal service, which we provided at the London Passport Office

"Hi Harpreet and Chloe, I thought I would mention that, prior to contacting Multi Travel Visas, I had approached two other agencies and in both cases their overall knowledge, promptness of communication and quality/presentation of websites did not even come remotely close to meeting your standards. Your agency deserves every success and, based on my own personal experience so far, you are already miles ahead of your competitors! If you do have a manager that I could write to, for the purpose of personally mentioning to him/her how helpful, polite, friendly and thoroughly professional you have been, please let me know. I never take such excellent service for granted." This came from John and yes , the manager was informed and this lovely testimonial made it onto our website, Blog and Facebook pages.

New successful case and testimonial on application for Indefinite Leave (ILR) for a spouse of a UK citizen (SET M application under the Old Rules).

"Dear Lucy, I am so ecstatic that I received my indefinite leave to remain today and that everything went so smoothly! I remain forever grateful for the invaluable, courteous and professional service/assistance I received from you and all your colleagues and would definitely recommend your company to anyone without hesitation. Thanks so much to you all!" This came from Shyrna , a national of St Kitts and Nevis, who with our help made a SET(M) application on the basis of her marriage to a British citizen. Shyrna had a Spouse visa for 2 years (and 3 months as it was issued outside the UK) and has completed her 2 years probationary period in the UK. Since her Spouse visa was issued before 9 July 2012 this application was made under the ‘Old Rules’. In fact, applications for an ILR for spouses of UK citizens won’t be happening until July 2017, ie 5 years since the Rules changed, thus requiring spouse and partners to spend 5 years in the UK instead of 2 years. For an indiv

New successful case and testimonial on application for Indefinite Leave (ILR) for a spouse of a UK citizen, plus 2 children who turned 18 yo but were still applying as dependants.

Russell, just to say thank you for how you handled our application. We really appreciated your level of professionalism and expertise and your calm confidence. You made the whole process so much easier thank you. " This came from Mrs M, a national of Lebanon who made a SET(M) application for herself and SET(O) applications for 2 children who turned 18yo by the time of applying for an ILR. In this case the main applicant was married to a British citizen and had a Spouse Entry Clearance under the old Rules (ie issued before 9 July 2012). So it was a straightforward SET(M) application. However, the 2 children of the main applicant were issued with dependent visas at the time of entry to the UK and now, by the time of ILR application, they turned 18 yo. It meant we could not include them in the SET(M) application as dependents. Instead we had to add a SET(O) application for each child, at the same time as the main SET(M) application, as well as full SET(O) fee. For an i

New successful case and testimonial on application for an EEA Residence Card for a spouse of an EEA national.

"I would like to thanks Lucy and Natalia for the top service and the help with my wife´s Visa application. We had a successful outcome much sooner than expected and they were at all the application time in touch with us to keep us up to date regarding the application process. They are 100% advisable and reliable, we are very happy and we will pass their details to our friends in case of need." This came from Francisco, a German national whose spouse is from Chile and needed a visa to live and work in the UK. A Chilean spouse in this case arrived as a visitor, ie without a visa, to the UK and we made an EEA2 application. In this case our client was exercising Treaty rights as both a worker and a self-employed person, so we used a combination of documents and application was approved within approx 2 months. For an individual advice or to make an application please contact us:  info@1st4immigration.com  or visit  www.1st4immigration.com   If you are an Immigration Adviser

New successful case and testimonial on a Spouse visa extension which was considered under the 'old rules'.

"I would like to thank you millions and millions of times for the hard work you had to put in on my behalf and the professional manner in which my complicated case was dealt with, I will definitely recommend 1st 4Immigration as they treat each customer as an individual not just a number". This came from Maher, national of Tunisia, who applied for an extension of his Spouse visa through us. Maher’s visa was issued under the old rules, ie before 9 July 2012, so we processed extension under the old rules either (ie under the Transitional Arrangements). In this case we could not submit an application for an ILR, even though the applicant had completed 2 years in the UK on a Spouse visa, because not all requirements for an ILR could have been met at the time of application. We also had to explain that the nature of the applicant’s job (as a carer) required him to travel and be away from the marital home. With the appropriate documents from his employer, this was not a pro
