• How can Branch Austin McCormick’s immigration specialists assist you?

    Our personal immigration team are expert lawyers with a formidable track record in securing successful applications for their clients. We are adept at dealing with both contentious applications, which have been refused in the past, as well as routine applications where we ensure that the entire process is efficiently managed and streamlined, allowing you to secure your visa with precision.

    Because of our broad experience in the field of immigration law, we quickly grasp what your case relates to, its strengths, weaknesses and the practical steps we can take to overcome those weaknesses, we provide an agreement to carry out your work with a fixed fee payable until a certain point in your application (usually a decision by the Home Office or relevant adjudicator).

    Our fees are reasonable and do not change once they are agreed with you.

    We advise and represent our clients in cases and appeals before the UK courts and tribunals. We are often instructed to deal with complex cases where other lawyers have failed to find a solution and to remediate the case; we pride ourselves on bringing such cases to a successful conclusion.

  • What are our clients’ nationalities?

    Clients seek our help and expertise from all over the world. These include private clients and corporations from EU countries, the US, Canada, Australia, Africa, India, Russia and the CIS states, the Middle East, China and other emerging economies.

  • Family and partner visas

    We work with clients, their families and partners at our immigration law firm in London, with applications under Appendix FM of the immigration rules and those cases external to the immigration rules, which include:

    • spousal visas;
    • civil partnership visas;
    • unmarried partners;
    • fiancé visas;
    • child visas;
    • adult dependant relatives;
    • dependants of PBS migrants.
  • EEA nationals and family

    In light of Brexit and the new changes to the UK immigration legislation, we offer specialist advice under the EEA regulations and the EUSS scheme in the United Kingdom on immigration matters including:

    • Frontier Worker visas;
    • EEA Family Permit;
    • EEA settled status;
    • EEA pre-settled status;
    • permanent residence;
    • derivative rights of residence;

  • Visitor visas

    Branch Austin McCormick offers legal advice on temporary visas for visitors from abroad, including:

    • visitor visas;
    • short term visas;
    • business visas.
  • British citizenship and nationality

    Our team of immigration specialists are experts in handling the complex nationality laws within the United Kingdom. We offer advice and guidance on whether or not clients qualify for registration or acquisition of nationality, as these can be especially challenging areas to navigate alone. Some of the areas in which we can provide expert advice are:

    • registration;
    • nationality;
    • ancestry routes;
    • other niche and discretionary applications.
  • Hong Kong (BNO)

    British Nationals Overseas (BNO) in Hong Kong are eligible for their own route to settlement in the United Kingdom, following the BNO route announcement by the Government in 2020.

    Providing these services as an immigration law firm in London, our immigration specialists are well-practised in offering Hong Kong clients necessary advice and can provide the assistance required for the preparation, documents, and steps needed ahead of this application route.
