UK Visas and Immigration Applications
Applying for your visa for the UK is the most important process you will undertake in order to enter or remain in the UK. PK Immigration Lawyers will assist you throughout your UK visa application to ensure that everything is in order. Our immigration lawyers can give you immigration advice throughout your case, no matter how trivial.
To apply for your visas for the UK under the Points Based System (PBS), you will need to fit into one of the Home Office's Tiers. Most immigration categories are covered by the Points Based System (PBS) and our immigration solicitors will assess your case individually and advise the best tier to apply for.
The Home Office has divided visa applications into 5 tiers. Please click on each tier for more information about how PK Immigration's lawyers can assist you in your UK visa application.
