UK Visas and British Citizenship

  Relocating to the United Kingdom offers incredible opportunities for both your career and your family. One of the strongest economies in the world, the UK is home to 6.2 million expats . However, there are several steps involved in obtaining a UK visa. In this article we will explain the English language requirements for UK visas. This includes proving proficiency in the English language.   Work visas To obtain a work visa for the UK, it will be necessary to have a job offer and be sponsored. Some documents would be requested and they may be translated . Following Brexit, this now also applies to Europeans.   For a work visa, you must prove you can read, write, speak and understand English to B1 level.

If you have a UK visa and it’s about to expire, you would, normally, submit a new application. Of the same type (extension) or a different type (switching), or for settlement. You can do it up to the last day of visa current visa and it will be 100% legal. So, you applied and waiting for a decision, what is your status? What if your old visa expired during that time? Especially if you indeed apply on the last day. Would you become an overstayer? Do you have to time your application to give the Government enough time to make a decision before your old visa expires? Should you use the more expensive Priority services? The answer is: if you applied while your old visa was still valid (even on the last day), your immigration status automatically extends by law and remains the same for as long as the Government takes to consider your new application . Doesn’t matter whether it would take a day, a few months or a year. Most visa types take 8 weeks while Settlement takes up to 6 months. In ou

Changing from one UK visa type to another is one of the most popular subjects in our immigration work. It is what we call ‘switching', ie changing without leaving the UK.   Normally, the answer lies in the Immigration Rules for the category you are switching into. For example, until December 2020 the work visa rules didn’t allow switching from most categories. Now, however, it is possible to change from almost (but not all) every UK visa under the post-Brexit Points Based Immigration System. Other useful examples:  If you have a Visitor visa, you cannot, normally, switch to a Skilled Worker or a family visa. However, at the moment, it may be possible to do so under Covid-19 concessions, albeit in limited circumstances. You still have to meet the rules, such as having a Sponsor for a work visa, or meeting the Financial Requirement £18,600 for a visa as a spouse/partner of a British citizen, but may be able to secure your status without leaving the UK. The latest Covid-19 policies ca
