Our services
UK immigration services for individuals, families and employers
Whether you are applying from abroad or already living in the UK, we explain your options, prepare your application properly and stay with you until a decision is made.
Challenging Home Office decisions
A refusal is not always the end of the road. We review the decision, explain your realistic options and act quickly on deadlines. Where you can appeal, we prepare your case and represent you at the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal.
Asylum & human rights
If you are in the UK and fear returning home, we advise on asylum and humanitarian protection at every stage. We also prepare human rights claims based on family and private life (Article 8), and appeals if a claim is refused.
Work visas & sponsor licences
We help employers obtain and keep a sponsor licence, and help workers secure the right visa. Skill, salary and English rules have tightened, so we check eligibility before you commit time or money.
Visit visas
Visiting family, attending business meetings or having private medical treatment? We help you show the purpose of your trip, your ties at home and your funds, and tell you if you need an ETA instead of a visa.
ILR & British citizenship
We check your eligibility for indefinite leave to remain, naturalisation or registration, including residence, English, the Life in the UK test and good character. Because settlement rules are changing, we confirm the requirements in force when you apply.

Client reviews
What our clients say
A big thank you to Mr Morchid. I was lost with my extension of spouse visa, but with his help I had a successful application. Very patient, high professionalism and easy communication. I highly recommend.
Very professional service from start to finish. Did not need to worry about travelling to the office as all communication was done remotely. Very convenient and got a successful result at the end.
Mr Morchid is highly knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend using his services. I struggled to find good immigration advice in the past as my case is complicated, but Mr Morchid managed to make me feel better about it.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Straight answers to the questions clients ask us most. If yours is not here, send us a message.
Do I need to meet you in person?
No. We work online by video call, phone, email and WhatsApp, and check your identity and documents remotely, so you never need to visit an office. A few official steps may need you to attend in person, such as giving fingerprints and a photo, a Home Office interview, a tribunal hearing or a citizenship ceremony. We prepare you for each one.
Can you help if I live outside the UK?
Yes. We advise clients around the world on coming to the UK and prepare your application online. You usually give fingerprints and a photo at a visa application centre, which may be in another country, or use the Home Office ID Check app if you are eligible. We arrange calls to suit your time zone. We advise on UK immigration only.
What does IAA regulated mean?
The Immigration Advice Authority (formerly the OISC) regulates immigration advisers in the UK. It is a criminal offence to give immigration advice unless qualified. Regulated advisers must follow the IAA's Code of Standards and work only within their authorised level. Our adviser is authorised at Level 3, which includes appeals and tribunal representation. You can check our registration, F201700061, on the IAA adviser finder.
How are your fees worked out?
We charge a fixed fee for each type of case, based on the work involved. Before we start, your client care letter confirms the work, the fee and any extra costs. Home Office fees and any Immigration Health Surcharge are separate and paid to the Home Office. If you instruct us online or by phone, you have a 14-day cooling-off period. If legal aid or free advice may be available to you, for example in some asylum cases, we will tell you.
My visa was refused. What can I do?
Contact us straight away. Depending on the decision, you may be able to ask for an administrative review, appeal to the tribunal or make a fresh application. Deadlines are short: usually 14 days if you are in the UK, 28 days if you are outside the UK, and shorter if you are detained. Send us the full refusal letter and we will explain your options.
How do I send my documents?
Send clear scans or photos by email, or by another secure method we agree with you. Please do not post original documents unless we ask. We keep your files confidential under data protection law. WhatsApp is fine for quick questions and booking calls, and formal advice always comes in writing by email. Never send documents to anyone claiming to be us from a different number or address.
Do you help employers with sponsor licences?
Yes. We help UK employers decide whether sponsorship suits them, prepare sponsor licence applications and assign Certificates of Sponsorship correctly. We also advise on ongoing duties such as record-keeping, reporting changes and preparing for Home Office compliance visits. Before you recruit, we check that each role meets the current skill and salary rules.
How long will my application take?
It depends on the route, where you apply and how quickly your documents can be gathered. Home Office processing times vary and change from time to time. When you instruct us, we give you a realistic timetable for preparing your application and check the Home Office's current published processing times for your route.
