It is useful if you need to travel abroad and cannot be without your passport. But the main benefit in our opinion is, although more expensive, it allows the applicant to know result right on the day, including if there are any problems, rather than waiting for 3-4 months postal service (can be 6 months for an Indefinite Leave to Remain, ILR) and then possibly being told there is a problem or even that application has been refused. We at 1st 4Immigration are authorised by the UK Visas & Immigration (former Border Agency) to submit clients' visa applications using this service in Croydon, south London.    Same-day service is available for the following applications: ·          Indefinite Leave to Remain for those holding Tier 1 General, Tier 2 General, Work Permit, Ancestral visas - SET (O) form. ·          Indefinite Leave to Remain for those holding a Spouse/Partner visa - SET (M) form. ·          Switching to a Spouse/Partner visa from another category (

That is indeed the question of the moment. The last Tier 1 General extensions will be in April 2015, so we are often asked about dependants, ie partners and children of those holding a Tier 1 General visa. So, what are the Rules for dependants after 5 April 2015? And what if they won’t qualify for an ILR in April 2018 when the ILR applications based on Tier 1 General will be stopped? The answer is: “Don’t panic!” The dates of April 2015 for extensions and 2018 for an ILR is only for the main Tier 1 General migrants and NOT for Dependants. A ‘main’ visa is a main visa and a ‘dependent’ visa is a dependent visa and they are actually completely different things, issued under the different parts of the Immigration Rules! They don’t mix for an ILR (you can’t count 5 years for an ILR partly on main and partly on dependent visas) and they have very different requirements. So, to be clear: the announced restrictions apply only to the Tier 1 General migrants and not to their dependent

It is with the tears in our eyes that we are seeing off the Tier 1 (General) category, also known as HSMP. Farewell! This category was already closed to the new applicants in April 2011, so until now only extensions were allowed. And until the announcement earlier this year there was no limit on how many extensions a Tier 1 (General) migrant can have. So, it was OK to go and work abroad then come back and extend this visa and then do it again and again – until the time comes to stay for a few years within the limits on absences and get an ILR one day.   Unfortunately, it has been announced earlier this year than last Tier 1 (General) extensions will be accepted on 5 April 2015. So, those who do need an extension should apply before that. And preferably not at the last moment! (OK, OK, we all know it will happen exactly like that). There will be another inevitable rush for same-day service appointments. Our advice is to plan in advance: we offer advice sessions now, over email or a

STEP 1 of 3: SPONSOR LICENCE If a company wishes to sponsor you it has to have a Tier 2 Sponsor Licence. All Tier 2 sponsors can be found on the official Register. If a company does not have a licence yet they can make an application to obtain it. Our company can help with such applications, including when a licence is needed urgently, such as when the migrant’s current UK visa is about to expire. Our ‘record’ is 3 working days from the point of submission to the Home Office, although we cannot guarantee it in each case! Sponsor licence is issued for the company, it is not connected to the migrant (not connected to the employee). A licence is, in general, for the company to sponsor migrant workers.   STEP 2 of 3: CERTIFICATE OF SPONSORSHIP (COS) Once the company has a licence,  an authorised person can login to the Home Office system and assign a certificate of sponsorship. Such a certificate will be about an individual migrant, with his/her name, passport details

“ Hello everyone at 1 st 4Immigration. I just want to thank you all for your assistance in obtaining my permanent UK residence permit, this was probably the most important step that I have made in securing my future here in the UK, and without your expertise it would have been a far more stressful process.

I will be looking at applying for my Citizenship in the not so distant future.” This came from Stefan, a South African national, who applied for permanent residency on the basis of being married to a European national.
