We provide SMS training, right to work check guidance, and ongoing compliance support. Our fixed-fee packages include everything your business needs to hire international talent legally.

Yes. We offer phone and video consultations nationwide across England and Wales. As a digital-first law firm, we provide secure online document sharing, video meetings via Zoom or Microsoft Teams, and comprehensive remote support. In-person appointments are also available at our London office by arrangement.

Question 8

What is a sponsor licence and does my business need one?

Accepted Answer

A sponsor licence is a legal authorisation from the UK Home Office that allows UK employers to hire international workers on Skilled Worker visas, Health and Care Worker visas, and other work-based immigration routes. If you want to employ workers from outside the UK (excluding Irish citizens), you need a sponsor licence. The application process takes 8-12 weeks and requires demonstrating HR systems, compliance procedures, and genuine vacancy needs. We handle the entire application including SMS training for key personnel.

Question 9

Can you help with Philippine divorce recognition in the UK?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We are specialists in obtaining recognition of Philippine divorces in England and Wales. Since the Philippines does not allow divorce for Filipino citizens, many Filipinos obtain divorce abroad. We can help you get your foreign divorce recognised in England and Wales, allowing you to remarry without the lengthy annulment process. This service is particularly important for Filipinos wanting to bring new partners to the UK or apply for British citizenship.

Question 10

What is the difference between settlement and British citizenship?

Accepted Answer

Settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain or ILR) gives you the right to live and work in the UK permanently without time restrictions. British citizenship goes further, giving you a UK passport, voting rights, and the right to pass citizenship to your children. Generally, you must have ILR for at least 12 months before applying for citizenship. The citizenship application also requires passing the Life in the UK test and meeting English language requirements. We can guide you through both processes.

Question 11

Do you handle immigration appeals and visa refusals?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We have extensive experience with immigration appeals, administrative reviews, and judicial review proceedings. If your visa application has been refused, we can assess the refusal, advise on your options, and represent you in First-tier Tribunal appeals or judicial review in the High Court. Time limits are strict (typically 14 days for administrative review), so contact us immediately if you receive a refusal.

Question 12

What is your success rate for immigration applications?

Accepted Answer

We maintain a high success rate across all immigration categories. Our success stems from thorough preparation, detailed evidence gathering, comprehensive legal submissions, and proactive communication with the Home Office. While we cannot guarantee success in any individual case due to the complexity of immigration law and changing Home Office policies, our expertise and attention to detail maximize your chances of approval.
