"The 1st4Immigration team gives very thorough advice for my particular Tier 1 application. They have done a very detailed job at preparing, researching, compiling my business plan. For someone like me who have no previous business experience, they help me choose from different financial options available, give me very comprehensive advice on business factors that comply the immigration requirement.

"Hi, Thanks for responding to my e-mail. As my Visa application was yesterday morning, it was not possible to commit to your service but I must say that your online blog was VERY CRUCIAL in our decision making. My husband having been established a Limited Company in the UK only 9 months ago, we were unsure whether partial accounts would be acceptable even though he had surpassed the £18,600 financial requirement. What is funny is that we sought the advice of an expert recognised by the Home Office and she simply read to us the contents of the Home Office website that we were already aware of! Her interpretation of a FULL financial year was 12 months. She advised us against attending the Premium service with partial accounts and suggested using a postal service as that would buy us more weeks to get 12 months worth of accounts! Needless to say, my visa was approved in less than three hours, courtesy of clarification from your blog! So why I am telling you all this? I am going

We have been dancing around the house. Thank you .   My journey to 1st 4 Immigration's offices was borne out of frustration not only with the amount of intertwining and complicated Border Immigration literature but by the numerous amount of professionals including Immigration lawyers who can hardly interpret these regulations. I completely failed to understand why I could not apply for my ILR as my (previous) solicitor of many years had advised as well as objected to a one day application. Finding 1 st 4 Immigration's website gave me profound confidence in contacting them and their prompt reply was unbelievable. They replied on the same day, they answered my queries immediately!   I was a little bit sceptical in confirming an appointment with them but as so

5 years and 10 years refer to the number of years a migrant needs to spend in the UK, in the given category, to qualify for permanent residency. So, in the 5-year route one needs 5 years and in the 10-year route twice more, ie 10 years. It means if you get a visa in this route, you'd need 5 or 10 years respectively from the date of the first visa. It does not relate to the number of years preceding to the first application in this route. When does each of them apply? 5-year route is for a migrant who is applying as a Spouse/Partner, or as a Parent, of a UK citizen under the Appendix FM and who is able to meet all the requirements.
