What Does An Immigration Solicitor Do - Complete Guide

 

There are several best immigration lawyers in Manchester in the UK. The path you choose is determined by a variety of criteria, including the length of your stay, your country of nationality, and your personal circumstances. Danielle Cohen Solicitors may help with a wide range of immigration issues. As a result, the alternatives for staying or visiting the UK are outlined in this article.

These are the places where Immigration solicitors can help in UK!

(1) EEA citizens - immigration strategy in the aftermath of Brexit

Following the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union, the EU Settlement Scheme was implemented to ensure the resident rights of EEA nationals living in the United Kingdom. EU individuals residing in the UK should thus apply to the program before 30 June 2021 in order to get settled or pre-settled status. EEA family members, individuals with a retained right of residence, and main caregivers may be eligible to apply to the Settlement Scheme as well. The application link is available here.

If you live outside the United Kingdom and want to visit, you may be eligible to do so if you apply for a family permit. Immigration solicitor enables your entry into the UK for a period of six months. You can leave and visit the UK as many times as you choose throughout these six months. Importantly, you must be a non-EEA national who is a family member of an EEA or Swiss national in order to receive a family permit.

(2) Immigration solicitor helps in Appendix FM applications

The basis for claims based on family or private life is contained in the Immigration Rules' Appendix FM provisions. A person who desires to stay with or join their family in the UK should apply under these conditions.

Thus, the Appendix FM regulations apply to couples, civil partners, unmarried partners who have been cohabiting in a manner similar to marriage for at least 2 years, victims of domestic violence, a child of a person with restricted permission to remain, parents, and adult dependent relatives.

(3) Immigration solicitor helps in Applications in accordance with the Points-Based System

The UK fully implemented a Points Based System (PBS) for non-EEA nationals in 2010, and the government has stated that it plans to extend the policy to EEA nationals after the UK-EU transition period ends. To enter the UK on a Points Based visa, the applicant must first get the required amount of points by meeting specified conditions. A PBS application is required for anyone intending to come to the UK as either:

• A student Tier 1 visa is important for people who want to work for themselves in the UK because the Start-up and Innovator visas were launched in 2019.
• Other Tier 1 visas include the Investor visa and the Exceptional Promise/Talent visa.
• Tier 2 visas are intended for ‘skilled employees' who have a job offer in the UK from a sponsoring firm. Danielle and her legal team may prepare visa applications for individuals as well as sponsorship licence applications for employers. The prices for each are shown in the cost menu:
• Tier 5 visas are temporary work visa programmes that are separated into six sub-tiers: creative and sport workers, charity workers, and religious workers. Exchange Workers Authorized by the Government and the Youth Mobility Scheme After receiving a Tier 4 visa, international students can study at a UK institution.

(4) Immigration solicitor helps in Claims based on protection

Those who have fled to the United Kingdom in search of safety should file an asylum petition. It is normally advisable to file an asylum claim as soon as possible after arriving in the UK. A successful asylum claim results in refugee status and permission to stay in the UK.

Danielle also has a track record of successfully pursuing claims for her clients outside of the Immigration Rules. This sort of application is useful if returning to your country of origin presents insurmountable barriers, and it may be advised if the grounds for asylum are too difficult to show. Similarly, Danielle has prior experience filing successful statelessness applications for individuals who are unable to get nationality in any country.

(5) Immigration solicitor helps in Long vs. short stays

Those who do not wish to reside or work in the UK for a prolonged period of time, but just wish to visit for (usually) 6 months or less, should contact us so that we may prepare a visiting visa application.
