Immigration Law
Immigration Law D L C Solicitors Ltd offers a comprehensive Immigration service and can assist with a range of immigration matters including Settlement in the UK; Work Permits; Marriage and Business applications. Where legal aid would be appropriate we can signpost applicants to available services elsewhere. Visitors to the UK We can provide assistance with applications and appeals on behalf of Visa Nationals and their Sponsors. Visitors visas are normally only granted where the visit will be for less than six months; is for a genuine family purpose; the visitor intends to leave at the end of the visit; the visitor will not work in the UK and the visitor will not require assistance from public funds. Work Permits We can provide assistance with applications and appeals concerning Work Permits and Migrant Workers including applications on behalf of highly skilled migrants and those covered by the national shortage occupations scheme. British Nationality We can provide assistance with British Nationality applications and appeals including advice concerning the "Life in the UK" British Citizenship test. Asylum in the UK Evidence Application Whilst the application is being processed the applicant will not be detained or deported unless the applicant commits a criminal offence. If the applicant leaves the country the application will be terminated. Human Rights The application will be assisted by the Human Rights Act in that there may be a claim of breach of one or more of the following rights – right to life – prohibition of torture – respect for family life – freedom of religion – freedom of expression – freedom of association. Refugee Status If an application for refugee status is successful the applicant will be granted Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. The applicant will then be able to work without restrictions. The applicant will also be entitled to “family reunion”, this means that the applicant will be allowed to invite immediate family (wife and minor children) to join the applicant. The applicant will also be entitled to travel anywhere except the country of nationality. After five years the applicant may be entitled to apply for British Nationality. Exceptional Leave to Remain in the UK If the applicant is refused refugee status they may be granted exceptional leave to remain. This is normally granted if there are exceptional compassionate reasons why the applicant should not leave the UK. This is temporary permission to remain only however if it is renewed for four years the applicant may apply for indefinite leave to remain. Costs D L C Solicitors Ltd will provide an estimate of costs at the outset and will advise if the estimate is likely to be exceeded. Most applications involve fees payable to the Home Office. Where free legal advice and assistance subject to a means and merits test is available this will be signposted. Complaints We hope that you will be pleased with the professional service provided by D L C Solicitors Ltd. If however you are unhappy with any aspect of the service you should ask to speak to the Principal Solicitor, who is responsible for complaints. We may of course need to arrange an interpreter. Please bear in mind that we are a Law Office not a language centre – there will be times when an interpreter for your language is not immediately available – an appointment will be offered as soon as practicable when an interpreter will be available.
