Should I apply for a partner or parent visa when moving to the UK? LocalSolicitors.com

What application I should made partner or parent?

Q: 'Is this going to assist my FLR (O) or FLR (Private route) visa application in any way or should I not bother mentioning it there? I am not filing the case due to any visa extension. The situation just happened and my claim is very high'.

A: 'Your civil claim does not necessarily help your visa application ( you did not state the basis of your FLR application or the current visa you hold).If the claim has nothing to do with your FLR application, then it is advisable not to mention it)

Q: I have also made Home Office as the second party in my writ petition which I an planning to submit soon. Is that a good idea?

I am afraid the Home Office may react to it negatively so I shouldn't mention them at all in the writ. However, I m also thinking the initial receipt produced by the Sheriff's court and the judge's initial standard order may assist'.

A: Your FLR application will be treated on its own merit. Your civil claim will not have any impact on their decision, whether positive or negative.

Q: 'In your perspective, is the Home Office going to give the above any credence or should I not mention them at all in the initial writ?'

A: Unfortunately, I am unable to answer this question because I do not know why the Home Office is being included in the first place.

Q 'Kindly advise and state your charges for doing an FLR application'.

A: Our FLR application is between £500 and £750 depending on the complexity of the case. You can drop me an email at contact@clayandportersolicitors.co.uk. Regards.

A court hearing against my current visa sponsor. How is the UKVI going to consider this if I mention it in my FLR application?

First of all if you have any concerns about your immigration adviser you should check that they are regulated. Solicitors can be checked by confirming the SRA registration number of the firm and solicitor and a quick way to do this is to go to the Find a Solicitor service on the Law Society Website.

Where the advisor is not a Solicitor they should be regulated by the appropriate profession body. Usually this will be the OISC and you can confirm their status wtih a regulator.

It is not unusual for disbursements (payments for things other than your legal fees) to be paid on your behalf. However, you should also be given the opportunity to make the payment directly for Home Office fees particularly as this can be done online by card.

If you have concerns about this request that you pay the fees directly and be given the details to do so.

I hope that this has fully answered your question. OTS Solicitors who are immigration specialists would be happy to assist you with your matter and you can contact us on 0203 959 9123.
