FAMILY VISAS: SOON, WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN

One of the gratifying moments for an immigration lawyer is to play a part in successfully reuniting family members. Often, due to no fault of their own and resultant from unforeseen circumstances, family members are separated and they long desperately to be reunited with their loved ones.

Here at Depner Immigration Consultants we have to remind ourselves to set emotions aside when ascertaining and assessing the facts presented to us. We realise the importance of obtaining the correct information and being able to submit evidence that will satisfy the terms of the applicable rules and guidelines.

The UK Immigration rules set down specific requirements for family visas which may differ depending on nationality, whether it is for a child, a parent or a partner/spouse, a combination of the aforementioned and what the UK immigration status of their so-called ‘sponsor’ (person who they wish to join or remain with in the UK) is.

For professional advice and assistance in respect of all types of family visas; be it a first time application to enter the UK, to extend your family visa, or to switch from one visa to another, please write to us at info@depner-immigration.com
