Immigration Lawyers in Maze Hill

Can your immigration lawyers in Maze Hill help me to naturalise as a British Citizen?

We can absolutely help you to become a British citizen. Not only are all our immigration solicitors IAA-trained and certified to give legal advice, but we have a team of highly-trained lawyers who specialise in British Nationality Law. This means that we can help you to secure UK nationality and a British passport for life, no matter your circumstances or background. 

In order to apply, you must ensure you meet the British citizenship eligibility criteria – a mandatory requirement which your IAS immigration lawyer can help you with. Part and parcel of this application will mean that you will need to sit the mandatory Life in the UK test, which again your IAS solicitor can advise you on. 

The requirements for British Citizenship largely depends on your individual circumstances. You may be able to register as a UK National by descent, meaning you have familial links to the UK. On the other hand, you may be able to ‘naturalise’ as a British citizen, which essentially means you have accumulated many years of legal residency in the UK to the point where you are eligible for full UK citizenship rights. This period of time can be anywhere between five to ten years. For example, you might be able to gain citizenship sooner if you entered the UK under a Tier 1 Visa. If you are married to a British citizen you could also achieve citizenship much faster. 

Another key requirement in the eligibility criteria is ILR, known as Indefinite Leave to Remain. You must have lived in the UK under this form of status for a minimum of 12 months before seeking to become a full citizen.

Alternatively, you may be able to apply if you have a birth-right, for instance, if you have ancestry to the UK or you were born on the British isles.

Our immigration lawyers in Maze Hill can help you no matter which route suits your circumstances. 

Our London solicitors can help you by: 

• Gathering the evidence that demonstrates your eligibility for UK citizenship 
• Advising you on the Life in the UK Test 
• Liaising with UKVI throughout the application process 
• Submitting a Letter of Recommendation that highlights the merits of your case and your character (to satisfy the ‘Good Character’ requirement of the British Citizenship criteria) 

The British Citizenship application can be difficult to navigate without professional support and guidance. To learn more about our bespoke Citizenship Advice and Application Packages, get in touch with us today on 0330 433 1213. 

Can your immigration lawyers help me to appeal a refused visa?  

Yes, absolutely. We can help you to appeal a UKVI decision as soon as you alert us to your rejection letter. 

It doesn’t matter whether you sought advice from a competitor firm or you attempted the application alone, the Immigration Advice Service can help you urgently.  

Visa refusals are sadly all too common. This is a consequence of the UK’s immigration rules which continue to tighten on a regular basis. Even Visit Visas have become difficult to secure with applicants being refused for tedious mistakes such as not supplying their hotel/accommodation and travel arrangements which prove they will leave at the end of their trip.

Appealing a UKVI decision can, however, be lengthy and expensive. You may be required to attend a tribunal hearing. Your IAS immigration lawyer can attend with you and can even represent you, but it might be easier and faster to start a fresh application instead. 

No matter what, our immigration lawyers in Maze Hill can help. From the minute you speak to our friendly client care team, our solicitors will be on hand to help you every step of the way. We understand how stressful it can be launching an appeal, and how burdensome the paperwork is.
