Are you thinking of moving abroad?
Wanting to settle in the UK?
Not sure of your rights?
Moving home is hard enough but when it comes to moving country there is a lot to organise. By using the services of immigrationlawyers-uk.org.uk (details of whom you can obtain through the Solicitor Search Network website), you can ensure that you are fully informed of the implications for you and your family of any planned move to anywhere in the world. Depending on where you decide to relocate, there may be specific documents that you need to complete for example stating your assets, lack of a criminal record, how to obtain permits/visas, as well as having monies forwarded to you for the renting out of your home or its sale if you are not able to sell it in time.
You might require advice on types of entitlements you could expect in your new country and how you would stand should you wish to return home at some later date. And of course you will need to sort out your tax and other financial concerns. Using an immigration lawyer will ensure that you complete all necessary legal documentation before you leave the UK.
If you are currently living in the UK but are nearing the end of your student, work or visitor’s visa then you might need guidance on whether you could apply to stay for longer. If you are in the situation of not being in the UK by legitimate means then you need to think carefully about launching an appeal to stay and for some-one to help and legally support you in this. Some people may find themselves in the situation whereby the courts have denied the right to remain in the UK however with expert legal advice from an immigration lawyer they may be able to argue in your defence under article 8 of the Human Right Act which is used to help people maintain their right to family life.
You may not be in the position of having family living in UK and therefore this category would not apply however where you could find yourself being sent home and your life and/or family would be put at risk or you face the possibility of being tortured or maltreatment then with the help of an immigration lawyer you could request that your case is revisited.
