Business Immigration
Chattertons are able to advise and assist on all areas of immigration law.
Our Immigration Law team has a number of years of extensive experience behind them.
We can advise on applications for: European free movement (including residence cards
and family permits), indefinite leave to remain, extensions of limited leave to
remain, visas for visitors, or if you wish to work, study or join family in the
UK.
We can advise spouses (husbands and wives), civil partners, fiancées and unmarried
partners of people present and settled in the UK as to their stay in the UK and
the stay of their dependants (usually children) within that relationship. We can
also advise on naturalisation of individuals as British Citizens on the basis of
marriage or residence and applications from commonwealth citizens with UK ancestry.
We also provide services to those who wish to come to the UK under Tiers 1 (Highly
Skilled Worker, Entrepreneur, Investor and Post-study Worker), and Tier 2 (Skilled
Worker, Intra-company Transfer Worker, Minister of Religion and Sports Person) of
the new Points Based System (‘PBS’) (formerly the Highly Skilled Migrant Programme
(HSMP) and Work Programme Scheme). We can also advise: Students under Tier 4 PBS,
Low Skilled Workers under Tier 3 PBS and Temporary Sponsored Workers (creative and
sporting workers, charity workers, religious workers, government authorized exchange
workers, international agreement workers and workers under a youth mobility scheme)
under Tier 5 PBS. We can also advise company sole representatives. We are also able
to advise employers looking to employ non UK residents. In particular, how to avoid
falling foul of the new stringent requirements in relation to employment of foreign
workers, (which if done incorrectly could cost the employer a substantial fine per
illegal employee) and how to obtain a licence to enable employers (who will become
sponsors) to issue certificates of sponsorship to prospective foreign workers. We
can advise employers what records and what reports they must keep and make for each
employee.

We provide a service to advise you on what is required and what supporting evidence
is needed to make your application, whether you are making that application from
within or outside the UK. This includes advising you as to the likely prospects
of success and also of the drawbacks to your application. We can take you through
the process step by step, by helping you to prepare and submit your application.
We are also able to provide a service advising you as to any Asylum and Immigration
Tribunal (AIT) appeals, whether you are making that appeal from
within or outside the UK.
We pride ourselves on being different to our competitors, as we offer a very personal
and friendly service, offering you individual and tailored advice and solutions
depending on what your own individual needs and requirements are, we appreciate
that everyone’s circumstances and needs are different. We will try our best to solve
any problems and concerns.
We are able to offer a translator who can speak Russian and Latvian.
