Navigating UK family immigration law is complex and the stakes are high. Whether you are applying for a spouse visa, trying to bring a dependent child to the UK, or seeking Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) after years of lawful residence, our team provides clear, expert guidance tailored to your individual circumstances.
The UK spouse visa allows the foreign national spouse or partner of a British citizen or settled person to join them in the UK. Meeting the financial requirement, accommodation requirement and English language requirement can be challenging without professional support. Our advisers have extensive experience preparing strong spouse visa applications that stand up to Home Office scrutiny.
Once you are in the UK on a visa, you will typically need to extend your leave or progress your route before your current leave expires. We keep track of your leave dates and advise proactively so you are never at risk of overstaying.
After qualifying continuous lawful residence in the UK, most immigration routes lead to eligibility for ILR, permanent settlement. Our team reviews your full immigration history, checks eligibility and prepares a comprehensive ILR application on your behalf.
Once you hold ILR, you may be eligible to apply for British citizenship through naturalisation. UK Visa Assistance handles the full naturalisation process including Life in the UK Test preparation and citizenship ceremony support.

For any UK business looking to recruit overseas talent, holding a valid Sponsor Licence is a legal requirement. The process of obtaining and maintaining one involves significant administrative and compliance responsibilities, and getting it wrong can result in licence suspension or revocation.
The application requires businesses to demonstrate they are a legitimate trading entity, have appropriate HR systems in place, and are capable of meeting ongoing sponsor duties. UK Visa Assistance guides you through every stage, from assessing eligibility and gathering supporting documents to submitting a complete and accurate application to the Home Office.
Once you hold a Sponsor Licence, you can issue Certificates of Sponsorship (CoS) to overseas workers applying for a Skilled Worker Visa. We advise on salary thresholds, appropriate SOC codes, and the conditions attached to each CoS.
Holding a Sponsor Licence comes with ongoing duties including right-to-work checks, record-keeping, reporting changes and tracking sponsored workers. We provide compliance audits, HR systems reviews and prepare your business for Home Office inspections. Before you apply, check whether a company already holds a licence with our free sponsor licence checker in Tools.
