UK Visas and British Citizenship

It has been more than 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, ye

"Fatemeh and I wanted to say thank you to Mr. Daniel Metibemu and Mrs Natalia Andrews for their help with our case (Spouse Visa Extension). Also on the appointment day at the Home office Danny was very helpful and friendly. Daniel, your service was smooth and professional. Our questions were always answered with patient and we were informed of everything that was happening, great email communications. There was no need to be make a single phone calls at all. Fatemeh is looking forward to apply through your company for her ILR in the future." This came from Fatemeh and Reza, Iranian - British couple, applying for Fatemeh's spouse visa extension.

The above heading was meant to re-phrase the famous catchphrase by The Two Ronnies “It’s “Goodnight” from me. And it’s “Goodnight” from him”, one of the most iconic TV shows / TV personalities in the British history. So, it is a wish of a Happy New Year for 2017 from us at 1 st 4Immigration. And it is a summary of the 2016 visa rules changes from “them” at the UK Government (brought to you by us).   For all: there is no more grace period for “legally” overstaying in the UK for 28 days. Only a 14-day period is accepted and only if there were compassionate circumstances, such as a serious illness, Royal Mail delay etc. This is the most important change, in our view, which can potentially affect many more migrants than any other change.     Spouses, fiancées and partners of British citizens will need to achieve A2 level of English language when applying for a visa extension from May 2017. This was announced during the autumn 2016.   Sponsored workers under Tier 2 (Gen

"Great service and super efficiency! Highly recommended :)" Qing, Chinese national This came from Qing who applied for her French Schengen visa through us this week. She was issued a multi entry visa for a year within 3 working days.  It is possible to obtain a French Schengen visa within 3-4 working days from the date of appointment for most nationals, such as South African, Thai, Filipino, Russian, Indian, Chinese and most others. We can also assist with the German and Portuguese Schengen visas. The good thing about applying through French Embassy is that they tend to issuer longer, multiple-entry, visas. Although you have to go through a very stringent process of application, you may have a visa lasting for several years.  Contact us at Multi Travel Visas: German Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/schengen-visa-germany.php Portuguese Schengen visa:  http://www.multitravelvisas.co.uk/schengen-visa-portugal.php French Schengen visa:  h

"Professional service from start to finish. My wife and I used 1st4Immigration for her spousal further leave to remain visa and were very impressed with the service we received.

“Wow! Why did no-one tell me about them before? Visa sorted within 3 days (the week before Christmas, no less), when I couldn't find a booking at any of the embassy vendors to get a visa. If I hadn't have used MultiTravelVisas, I would have had to cancel my holiday. Well worth the money! 4 minutes in the queue to take biometrics. That was it! Thanks for amazing service, guys! ” This came from Peter who posted a review about our services on Google. He applied for his Schengen visa through us and was issued a multi entry Schengen visa for 1 year by the French consulate in 3 days.  It is possible to obtain a French Schengen visa within 3-4 working days from the date of appointment for most nationals, such as South African, Thai, Filipino, Russian, Indian, Chinese and most others.
