Agnes listened to our case and gave us the perfect advices on which visa application to go for. Praises also goes to how she handled the application, liasing with the home office to check our status and communicating with us, the next step to take.I highly recommend IAS and Agnes if you’re looking for an expert to handle your immigration case with professional advice.

She was very attentive and professional, she asked all the relevant questions, and she advised that I applied for a Certificate of Entitlement to right of abode. She gave me a huge discount. She was hard on me during the compilation of all the necessary documents – all in a good way and to ensure success-Fastforward to June 22, 2024, I was called to come and pick my Passport at the Visa application center and I got my Certificate of Entitlement to right of abode stamp.Thank you ma’am. Thank you indeed. MO

    Visa Applications

    The UK offers various types of visas and immigration routes to cater to different purposes and circumstances. Here is an overview of the main categories.

    Work Visas

    Work visas are vital in facilitating employment opportunities for individuals from overseas who wish to work in the United Kingdom. The UK offers several types of work visas tailored to meet the diverse needs of foreign workers.

    Here are some common UK work visa categories:

    1. Skilled Worker Visa: This is the main work visa category for skilled workers. It requires sponsorship from a UK employer and a job offer for a skilled role from an approved sponsor. Applicants must meet specific skill, salary, and English language proficiency requirements.
    2. Intra-Company Transfer Visa: This visa is designed for multinational companies transferring employees to their UK office. It allows skilled workers to move to the UK within the same company.
    3. Global Talent Visa: Aimed at individuals with exceptional talent or promise in their field, this visa allows them to work in the UK without a job offer. It is open to scientists, researchers, academics, innovators, and artists.
    4. Start-up and Innovator Visas: These visas are for entrepreneurs and innovators looking to establish or scale their businesses in the UK. They require endorsement from an authorised endorsing body in the UK
    5. Temporary Work Visas: The UK offers various temporary work visas, such as the Youth Mobility Scheme, Creative and Sporting, Religious Worker, and Charity Worker visas. These visas allow individuals to work in specific sectors or engage in specific activities for a limited duration.

    Study Visas

    Study visas allow international students to pursue their education in the United Kingdom. The UK offers various study visa options for individuals with different academic goals and study durations.

    Here are some key study visa categories:

    1. Student Visa: This visa is for students aged 16 and above who have been accepted into a UK educational institution. It requires a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from a licensed sponsor and proof of financial capability to support studies and living expenses.
    2. Child Student Visa: Designed for children aged 4 to 17 who wish to study at an independent school in the UK. Similar to the Tier 4 (General) visa, it requires a CAS and financial evidence.
    3. Short-term Study Visa: For short-term courses or study programs lasting less than six months. It allows individuals to study in the UK without a CAS and is ideal for language courses or short-term academic programs.
    4. Graduate Visa: Introduced in 2021, this post-study work visa allows international students who have completed a degree at a UK institution to stay and work in the UK for up to two years (or three years for PhD graduates) after graduation.

    Family Visas

    Family visas allow individuals to join family members already settled in the UK. These visas enable spouses, partners, children, parents, and other dependents to reunite with their loved ones.

    Here are some family visa categories:

    1. Spouse Visa: This visa is for individuals married to or in a civil partnership with a person who is settled in the UK or a British citizen. It requires meeting specific financial and relationship criteria to demonstrate a genuine and subsisting relationship.
    2. Unmarried Partner Visa: For individuals living together in a long-term relationship akin to marriage for at least two years. It requires providing evidence of cohabitation and meeting the financial requirements.
    3. Fiancé Visa: This visa is designed for individuals engaged to be married to a person settled in the UK or a British citizen. It enables the applicant to enter the UK to marry their partner and subsequently switch to a Spouse Visa. Specific requirements, such as demonstrating a genuine intention to marry, financial stability, and English language proficiency, must be met for this visa.
    4. Parent Visa: Allows parents of a child who is a British citizen or settled in the UK to join them. It requires proving the relationship with the child and meeting financial criteria.
    5. Child Dependent Visa: For children under 18 who wish to join their parent(s) or relative(s) in the UK. It involves demonstrating the relationship and the ability to support the child financially.
    6. Adult Dependent Relative Visa: Intended for elderly parents, grandparents, or other dependent relatives who need long-term care from a family member living in the UK. Strict criteria must be met to qualify for this visa.

    Standard Visitor Visa

    The UK Standard Visitor Visa allows individuals outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland to visit the UK for various purposes, including tourism, visiting family and friends, attending business meetings or conferences, taking short courses, and receiving medical treatment.
