UK Visas and British Citizenship

“I would highly recommend using Multi Travel Visas. Worth every cent spent. Sebastian was incredibly helpful and my visa was complete within 2 working days from the appointment. Superb service, I was kept up to date with every step and received an earlier appointment with the embassy, allowing me enough time to receive my visa before I left on holiday. This would not have been possible without Multi Travel Visas. Thanks again for the brilliant service.” Tracey, South African national 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. 

“Following the spousal visa refusal, I'm delighted that I came across 1st 4Immigration. From day one of meeting Daniel, I was reassured that our case can be overturned. Daniel advised me of the options available and recommended the best route for us to take, giving me step by step of what to be expected along the way. He also pointed out any associated risks i.e. delays, dismissal, and suggested the measures he will put in place to minimise any risks. This was fantastic and I felt as confident as ever.  Throughout the appeal process Daniel handed our case professionally, and used due diligence which helped identify the Home Office’s inadequate process and miscommunication. I was always informed of any new development and actions he was looking to take. Although our appeal was managed by Daniel, he ensured I was comfortable with any actions taken beforehand.  During a tough time like this, it's vital to have an experienced, professional, understanding immigration lawye

It has made an enormous difference to have such professional, thorough expertise to rely on when taking such important steps in life. I would recommend Daniel Metibemu to anyone - and in fact I already have. Many thanks to Daniel, Sawan and the rest of the team.” This came from Annie, a Zimbabwean national, who had spent 5 years in the UK as a Tier 2 migrant, so it was time to apply for permanent residency.   We used same-day service in Croydon – happy ending!

In this article in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/dec/30/spanish-uk-resident-fears-insurance-loophole-will-force-her-to-leave , a Spanish national, Maria Luisa, was worried whether she would qualify for permanent residence status in the UK (such applications are very popular at the moment due to the uncertainly over Brexit). She has been living in the UK for the past 16 years and is married to a British national. According to this article, Maria Luisa was worried that she took some time off work, approximately a year, when she had a child and returned to work 4 years ago; she has been working since. The main point here is that European / EEA citizens do not just get residency rights in the UK beyond the initial 3 months (as it is widely believed). Instead an EEA citizen is expected to be exercising Treaty rights, such as working. Those who are not working can be classed as “self-sufficient”, and this includes EEA nationals coming to the UK to study.  

“I attended the two days weekend OISC Level 1 training, it was conducted very professionally and as promised the content was simplified and easy to understand. The course was well structured and well organised and the trainer went through the content at a steady pace with room for questions. Daniel, our trainer made us all feel completely at ease to ask any questions, however basic or silly they seemed. The facilities at the venue are great and you even get a lunch voucher on the first day. Notes are provided so you can study them before and/or after the course. I enjoyed my training and left happy and satisfied with no cause for complaint. I look forward to further training with 1st 4immigration.” Saima 1st 4immigration provides 2 days OISC Level 1 training course at our office in the City of London.
