Immigration

In the last decade alone, immigration has added one and a half million people to the UK's population, with one in ten people in the UK having been born overseas. In attempts to restrict immigration to the UK, the immigration system has become more complex in recent years, which now involves 'tiers', a 'points based' system, and a 'fast track' route, making the process potentially confusing, especially if you are unfamiliar with the British legal system.

It can be helpful, first of all, to make sure you find a solicitor with an understanding of people immigrating from the same country as you. As well as making it more likely that they can help with things like arranging a translator, they may be aware of common issues with applications by others from your country. As well as helping people to ensure their family members are able to migrate to the UK, immigration lawyers also offer advice in cases where leave to remain in the UK has been rejected by the Border Agency. They can help people to take appropriate steps to achieving British citizenship if they wish to permanently remain in the country. Immigration lawyers also offer services to businesses, for help with obtaining authorisation for business associates to enter the UK, which means that, if they meet certain requirements, they can avoid some of the formalities relating to obtaining a work permit if they are visiting in relation to overseas employment. An experienced solicitor will be able to consider all of the the immigrations for the situation, and advise on the most appropriate route for your circumstances.
