UK immigration law advice for families and dependants

Our immigration lawyers have a long and successful track record of advising on family and dependant visa applications and many years of combined experience in this area. This is one of the core legal directory recognised specialisms within our team.

Our immigration lawyers advise on the following areas, amongst others, relating to family and dependant visa applications:

• Partner visas, which includes Spouse, Civil Partner, Fiancé and Unmarried Partner visa applications;
• Dependant child or children of a parent who is applying for leave to enter or remain in the UK as a partner;
• Dependant child or children applying to join a parent or parents or relative who settled or is being admitted for settlement in the UK;
• Domestic Violence and Bereaved Partner visa applications;
• Marriage and Family Visitor visas; 
• Adult Dependant Relative visa applications; and
• International adoption and surrogacy cases

Our solicitors work very closely with families and individuals to secure their short and long term immigration status, in many cases all the way through to ultimately securing British citizenship. We understand that family related visa applications are very personal and sensitive. As a team we have often been singled out and recognised by our clients and third parties for providing an excellent client care service.

Very high success rate with family and dependant visa applications: Our very high success rate with a wide range of family and children related visa applications, despite advising on numerous extremely complicated applications some of which have been dealt at appeal stage, gives our clients added confidence and trust in securing a successful grant.

Complimentary family and children law advice within the same firm: Relatively few leading UK immigration teams also have legal directory rated family law and children law practices within the same firm that can assist with both domestic and international matters. This facilitates the provision of ‘joined up’ advice and can also bring practical benefits.

Personal: Our immigration solicitors understand that individual immigration is intensely personal and we reflect this in our advice and approach. Our immigration team combines considerable experience and related technical expertise with an efficient and personable approach to make the visa application process run as smoothly as possible for our individual clients and their families. We are also very sensitive to cultural differences and can provide whatever level of support is needed.
