"A great service from 1st 4Immigration. Held our hand the entire way through this emotional & complex process. From first meeting to the very end we were given professional reassurance. Always there at the end of a frustrated email to calm our nerves by providing guidance and reassurance. I have no hesitation in recommending anyone needing a visa take up the services of this great team. Finally, we were so very happy when my fiancée collected her successful visa, and the value was only a little tainted by the two poor souls before her at the collection office that hadn’t received visa’s. Needless to say they’d not had the benefit of 1st 4Immigration's wonderful help and had tried to do it alone."  This came from Iain, a British citizen whose partner is originally from Ukraine.  For an individual advice or to make your application as successful please contact us: info@1st4immigration.com  or visit     http://www.1st4immigration.com/spouse-partner-visas-after

"I can't believe we got a multi entry visa. That's fantastic.

It has been almost a year since a business plan was made compulsory on 6 April 2015.  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 plans we see do not mention this at all, y

Tier 2 sponsors would normally have to advertise a job if they wish to sponsor a migrant, a non-EEA citizen. This is known as Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT). However, there are a few exemptions. Examples when employers don’t need to advertise the job: -           the migrant is extending a Tier 2 General visa to work in the same occupation code for the same employer (but not changing an employer); -           the job offered is on a Shortage occupation List; -           the migrant is switching from a Tier 4 Student visa and has completed a degree in the UK; -           the migrant is offered a salary of £155,300; -           the migrant is being sponsored under the Intra-Company Transfer (ICT) sub-category.

Previously, we wrote ( http://1st4immigration-visas.blogspot.co.uk/2016/03/whats-new-from-april-2016.html ) that from April 2016 Tier 2 sponsors would have to advertise a job if they wish to sponsor a Tier 4 student visa holder to remain in the UK to work for them. This is known as Resident Labour Market Test (RLMT). Today the Home Office confirmed the changes which would be implemented during 2016-2017 in the Tier 2 category. Those changes will be implemented beginning from autumn 2016.   This was in their response to two reviews of Tier 2 policy by the independent Migration Advisory Committee (MAC). Here we quote from the Home Office communication document: “ We will not implement the MAC’s recommendations that students switching from Tier 4 to Tier 2 should be included in the annual limit and be subject to the Resident Labour Market Test. We recognise the importance of maintaining our excellent offer for international students looking to undertake skilled work in the UK aft
