Do you need help with emigration?

Emigration can be a complex and time-consuming process, from moving your personal possessions to finding a new school for your children. However, prior to these jobs there is the difficult task of organising the paperwork and visas for the move, which can be even more stressful, and it is therefore important to acquire the services of an experienced emigration lawyer to help make this transition as smooth as possible. Particularly as many applicants will have difficulty reading or writing English.

Popular destinations for emigrants from the UK are USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and South Africa. Governments from these countries, and indeed all over the world, make regular changes to emigration law to help prevent illegal emigration, identity fraud and criminals entering the country and therefore a solicitor with the resources to stay up-to-date with the law is required. For example, last year the UK government raised the age at which someone can apply for a marriage visa from 18 to 21. You may need an emigration solicitor for work permits, migrant programmes, resident and student visas, citizenship, bringing in relatives or even for appeals from a previous application.

Emigration law also regulates who can visit the UK, how long they can stay for and it also dictates who can stay here permanently and when a person can claim asylum. There are various criteria that must be satisfied in order to be granted an application and your solicitor can help you through this.
