What makes IAS the best immigration solicitors in Leicester?

Our immigration lawyers in Leicester can help you every step of the way. Our services are crafted around individuals so that they are suited to you.

You will be assigned an immigration lawyer who is suited to your particular needs, whether they are personal or corporate. This lawyer will spend time with you going through your options, requirements and next steps.

If you are eligible for an application and you choose to proceed with one, your lawyer will help you source and organise your documents into an Evidence Portfolio. This displays your entire case comprehensively for the Home Office when they review your case.

Your lawyer will then write a thorough Letter of Representation which will accompany your case. This letter details your case and its merits. It also references and draws on any relevant legislation or case-law in support of your case. After this, your lawyer will submit your full and completed application to the Home Office and will communicate with them on your behalf until a decision has been reached.

Is an immigration solicitor worth the cost?

Hiring an immigration lawyer indeed means adding further legal fees to your case. On the other hand, this is the only way to avoid mistakes and consequently save money and time.

Navigating the complex framework of UK immigration law is not easy. There are several regulations to take into account and paperwork to be completed.

For this reason, hiring a qualified immigration solicitor in Leicester and the UK prevents your application to be rejected or delayed. Furthermore, we will liaise with the Home Office and regularly check the status of your application.

At IAS, we offer a bespoke service for every immigration matter. If you wish to discuss your issues and the expected costs of your case, you can drop into our offices in Leicester or give us a call.

Can IAS’ immigration solicitors help my business get a Sponsor Licence?

If your company wishes to hire international workers, you first need to apply for a Sponsorship Licence. However, before you submit your application, you must ensure that you meet specific requirements, to demonstrate that you are a legitimate business. Besides, you must decide which members of your staff will be representing the business.

Since the Sponsor License application process may be complex and time-consuming, it is always recommended to seek the help of an immigration lawyer in Leicester, who is experienced in UK corporate immigration law. At IAS, we only employ the best specialists, who can use their in-depth knowledge of this field to help businesses with their needs.

Do I need the help of a Leicester immigration solicitor to apply for British Citizenship?

For many migrants, applying for British naturalisation is the last step of their immigration journey. However, this can be a very complex process, which requires several supporting evidence. Besides, before you apply, you must have lived in the UK on Indefinite Leave to Remain for a certain amount of time.

At IAS, our immigration solicitors in Leicester offer dedicated services for those who wish to settle in the UK.  Whether you want to apply for British naturalisation or you want to find out more how to get citizenship status for your children, one of our immigration experts will be happy to help.

Get in touch with our team today to find us more about our services and to hire one of our lawyers to review your situation and provide you with the best immigration advice on your British Citizenship case.

What is Indefinite Leave to Remain?

If you have spent at least five years in the UK as a lawful resident, you may be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

To be eligible, there are several requirements that you must meet. For example, you must haven’t spent more than 180 days in a 12/month period outside the UK during your qualifying period. Beside, you must pass a test to demonstrate your knowledge of British culture and traditions, and provide evidence of your English proficiency.

Based on your current immigration status, there are several paths you can follow so settle in the UK.

Our solicitors have already helped several clients obtain entry clearance and then get Indefinite Leave to Remain in this country. Call us today to seek our immigration advice. One of our solicitors will be happy to help you and follow you through each step of your application process.

I am international investor. Can an immigration solicitor help me get entry clearance?

International investors can get entry clearance in the UK if they are willing to invest at least £2 million into UK businesses. As high-value migrants, applicants do not need a UK-based sponsor, or to meet specific English proficiency or financial requirements.

Nevertheless, the Home Office will require adequate documentation to review the status of your investment. For this reason, it is always recommended to seek the immigration advice of a solicitor in Leicester.

Our team has already helped several clients with their Investor Visa application, and will cannot wait to give you the best possible change of receiving your permit to kickstart your investment in the UK.
