IMMIGRATION:
Our services include helping/guiding/advising you in order to determine which of the new UK visa tier is most appropriate for your relocation/immigration to the UK. Our services also include assisting you at every stage from selection of tier advice on your initial application through to providing a comprehensive application processing including administrative reviews and limited appeals in case of refusal of application.
TIER 1—for highly skilled migrants:
The Tier 1 of the points based UK immigration service directly replaces the existing Highly Skilled Migrant Programme or HSMP and is designed for UK visa applications from candidates who can bring desirable professional skills, qualifications and experience to the United Kingdom.
Just like the HSMP Tier 1 does not require candidates to be in possession of UK work permits in order to enter the UK. In addition, the Tier 1 provides A ROUTE TO SETTLEMENT and the option to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) or permanent residency in the UK.
Tier 1 consists of the following categories;
- Tier 1 General visa: for highly skilled migrants seeking employment in the UK, self employed immigrants or immigrants setting up a business,
- Tier 1 Investor visa: designed for those investing large sums of money in the UK,
- Tier 1 Entrepreneur visa: ideal for those setting up or taking over the running of businesses,
- Tier 1 Post-Study visa: if you are studying now or have studied in the past in the UK this route is suitable for you.
Like the HSMP, Tier 1 is a point based system, and candidates in order to qualify need to obtain at least 75 points. Awarding of points can be complex and problematic and an area where professional advice can make a real difference to your chances of successfully procuring an immigration.
Tier 2 – for skilled workers with an offer of employment:
This tier of the new points based UK immigration service replaced UK work permits and basically applies to medium and highly skilled workers wishing to immigrate to the UK who have an offer from a UK sponsoring company in place.
Tier 3—for temporary low skilled workers:
Temporary low skilled workers with an offer from a UK sponsoring company can avail this tier.
Tier 4—for Students:
This Tier of the new points based UK immigration service focuses upon overseas students who wish to gain entry clearance to study in the UK. Tier 4 visas replace the UK student visa service and place more emphasis upon the responsibility of the educational body in question for the applicants they permit to study. The aim of this tier immigration service is to provide a more user-friendly, transparent route to studying in the UK. However, at the same time, due to the ever increasing trend of people misusing their student visa, in the past few years UK has become wary of student applicants. Furthermore, from 31st March 2009, students will have NO RIGHT TO APPEAL against an entry clearance officer’s decision of denying visa, making it harder for students to pursue their educational goals in UK.
However, no right to appeal does not mean that students can’t overturn the decision because, students under the new rules, can file for an ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW of the entry clearance officer’s decision and/or can file an appeal under LIMITED GROUNDS referred to in section 84 (1)(b) and (c) of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002, if the decision is in contravention of section 19B of Race Relations Act 1976 and/or section 6 of Human Rights Act 1998. These are highly complex legal/constitutional areas and require assistance and oversight of experts and qualified lawyers with experience both in and outside Pakistan. In these tough times, we will help you in procuring a student visa, by virtue of our streamlined and professional services. What sets us apart from others is our team of UK qualified Barristers and Solicitors with experience both in UK and Pakistan.
Tier 5—for Youth mobility scheme/temporary workers:
This tier is available to applicants from participating countries aged 18-30 and will grant leave to enter the UK for a maximum period of 24 months. As with tier 3 visas and tier 4 visas, British immigration through this route is a temporary entitlement and applicants will be obliged to return to their home country at the expiry of the grant.
REVIEW OF APPLICATION IN CASE OF DENIAL OF VISA:
Right to appeal has been replaced with an “Administrative Review” and/or “Limited Right to Appeal” under HRA 1998 and/or Race Relations Act 1976. This new right granted to applicants to have their applications reviewed after an initial refusal is quite complex and requires an understanding of intricate constitutional issues, especially if the application wants to appeal under anti-discrimination legislation. It is here that our relevance becomes paramount as we specialize in detailed drafts explaining your stance in depth, and attacking the grounds of refusal with cogent and logical arguments.
Our results have been quite outstanding with a success rate of over 90% especially for visitor visa refusal and student visa refusals, and in the recent past in highly skilled migration (Tier 1) as well, giving us tremendous recognition among the aggrieved applicants who after refusal gave up all hopes of visiting UK.
Note: in case of fraudulent documents under the new rules an applicant can be barred for ten years.
AUSTRALIA AND CANADA HIGHLY SKILLED MIGRANT PROGRAMME:
The last decade has witnessed a change in preference of many highly skilled immigrants from Europe and America to places which are still extending their welcoming arms to immigrants, such as Australia and Canada. The job market in these countries is still favourable to immigrants, and the immigration authorities encourage immigrants provided they are highly skilled.
Our Chamber boosts a proud record of providing highly skilled migrants advice and extensive application processing mechanism including appeals and reviews which has afforded our clients a permanent route to settlement in Australia and Canada.
