Partner Visa
Our Team understand the innate complexities and sensitivities with family applications of any nature. Trying to match unique circumstances against a prescribed list of requirements requires experience. Our specialists are here to give your application the best possible opportunity of success while making the whole experience less daunting. The partner visa is open to individuals who want to live in the UK with their British or settled partner.
How we can help
Our services are designed to support your through the whole process, so you can concentrate on the important things.
Explore
Exploring your options
- We provide an initial ‘preliminary’ virtual meeting to establish yours and your partner’s intentions, your history together as well as some basic advice and timelines.
- If you would like the assurance of whether you and you partner meet the rules we can provide an in-depth review of your circumstances during a consultation.
Inform
Educating you on the steps
- The consultation will assess whether you meet the full criteria of the visa. This process can be quite complex depending on how the income and relationship requirements are met especially if you both have lived abroad in the years leading up to the application or whether you receive income from various routes.
- If we are not satisfied that you meet the requirements at this stage we may ask to review documentation to evidence your eligibility before proceeding to offer our representation services.
Prepare
Preparing your case
- Our service offer will set out the process and opinion of making an application under this route and whether there may be other suitable options.
- After engagement we will provide a tailored list of specific documentation and will review the documentation against meeting the stringent visa requirements.
- Upload the finalised information to the online visa application and submit the finalised document bundle along with our Cover Letter which sets out your eligibility and how you and your partner meet the rules.
Support
Supporting you on the way
- General on-hand support during the whole process.
- Liaise with UKVI officials should further enquiries be made. This could be due to having a previous Immigration history, or UKVI may make further enquiries if the application is of a complex nature.
- Brief the applicant on the logistical process of the visa application right up to collecting the BRP card in the UK.
