For confidentiality reasons, the identities of our clients have been changed.

Please also note that each case depends on each individual circumstances, and so while a case may be similar to yours, there is no guarantee that you will also obtain a successful outcome.

Obtaining professional legal advice is always advisable.



Applying for a UK fiancé/e visa to get married in the UK with their partner and thereafter remain permanently in the UK.

Relying on income from employment with the same company for at least 6 consecutive months.


J is a British citizen who was engaged to P, a Polish national. J and P wanted to get married in the UK.

They sought our advice and assistance to help them with P’s fiancée visa application and thereafter, her Further Leave to Remain (FLR) application as a spouse.

J and P wanted advise and assistance mainly because P was initially refused a visitor visa, and they did not wish to experience the same heartache again.


J is working in the UK for the same employers for at least a year and earned more than the threshold of £18,600 gross per annum (there were no dependent children who were applying with P).


We advised and assisted them with the fiancée visa application and within 1 month of instructing us, the application form was submitted. The whole process took 3 months from the start until P received her fiancée visa.


Once J and P were married, we then assisted them with P's FLR M application (Further Leave to Remain as a Married Partner).

As we already had most of their documents and information for the fiancée visa, we were able to put together and submit the FLR M application within 2 weeks. They decided to go for the priority service and so P was granted her FLR in the evening of the same day that she attended her Biometric appointment.




Applying for a spouse visa to join their spouse permanently in the UK – No dependants and relying on income as an employee of the same company for at least 6 consecutive months and earning at least £18,600 gross per annum.


A is a British citizen and is married to B, a Filipino citizen. E and M do not have children together.

B is working as a bus driver for Transport for London and has been working for the same company for at least 2 years, consecutively. A earns more than £18,600 gross per annum.


B was previously living in the UK but had overstayed her student visa. A and B sought our advice and assistance with M’s spouse visa application. They were specifically worried about B’s UK immigration history and believed that this would result in a negative decision.


As there were no significant and exceptional reasons why B could not return home and submit her spouse visa application from there, (i.e. neither she nor A had serious medical conditions, and they had no children together), we advised B to return home and submit her application from there. B instructed that apart from her overstaying in the UK, she was not requested by the UKVI to report to them, and she was not detained by them previously, and she did not have deportation orders/removal directions made against her. Based on this, we advised her that her application would not be refused simply because she overstayed her student visa.


B’s application was granted and within a week after she received her passport back from the visa centre, she re-joined A in the UK. She also surprised her mother and sister, (and extended family members), who did not know that she had received her visa and that she was travelling back to the UK. They, as well as A, were overjoyed at having B back again in the UK.





Applying for a UK spouse visa- no dependant children, relying on income from being an employee and a Director of their own limited company in the UK (self-employment)


A is a British citizen who lived and worked in the UK as a self-employed accountant. He owned his own limited company, which is based in the UK, and where he earned a salary as an employee of the company, and also earned dividends as a Director of the company. There were no other employees and Directors of the company apart from A.


A is married to B, a Thai citizen. They have 3 children together, who are all British citizens by descent. They all lived in Thailand until A returned to Scotland a year prior to B submitting her spouse visa application and began working there in the Oil and Gas industry.

A and B sought our advice and assistance to help them with obtaining a UK spouse visa for B.


A had set up his own limited company in the UK and had 1 years’ worth of accounts with the HMRC.

We advised and assisted A and B with collating the relevant documents they needed to submit with the application. We worked closely with A and B and submitted the application 2-3 months after they initially instructed us. A month after the application was submitted, B received her spouse visa and she was then able to travel to the UK with her children to be reunited with A.
