Family visas that bring the people you love to where you live.

We plan and prepare visa applications for partners, children and other dependants, and for parents where a route allows it. We help families joining someone in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia and the UAE.

What we do

Our part, stage by stage.

01

Planning the order of applications

  • A comparison of routes for the main applicant and each family member
  • The right filing order, so no one’s application holds up anyone else’s
  • A realistic timeline, plus a plan to address any earlier refusal
02

Relationship evidence and documents

  • Help writing relationship statements that match your photos, messages and shared records
  • Guidance on sponsor letters, financial evidence and proof of accommodation
  • Translations and legalisation arranged where needed
  • Forms completed for you and checked before anything is submitted
03

Submission and follow-up

  • Filing online or through the consulate, whichever your route uses
  • Biometrics appointments booked for every family member
  • Interview preparation when an interview is needed
  • Case tracking, with regular updates on where things stand
04

After the decision

  • Help planning the family’s travel
  • Registration steps and reminders before visas are due for renewal
  • A plan for settlement and citizenship once you qualify

The process

From first call to decision.

  1. 01

    Your family’s situation

    You send a short form with key dates and documents. We confirm the right route, the filing order and anything that could complicate the case.

  2. 02

    Consultation and written plan

    We agree the route, the evidence list, who does what and target dates for each family member.

  3. 03

    Evidence and forms

    We give you templates, review your drafts and check that names, dates and addresses match for the whole family.

  4. 04

    Submission and appointments

    We submit the applications, book biometrics or visa centre slots, and prepare each person for any interview.

  5. 05

    Decision and next steps

    If the family is approved, we help with travel, registrations and renewal planning. If an application is refused, we review the decision and help you plan a fresh application. Where an appeal is the right step, we work alongside an independent regulated adviser or lawyer.

Before you start

It helps if you already have:

  • A genuine relationship, backed by documents and a shared history
  • A sponsor whose status lets them bring family, or a worker or student whose visa allows dependants
  • The financial requirement met through income, savings or an allowed mix of both
  • Suitable accommodation and care arrangements
  • Health and character requirements met

Missing something? That does not rule you out. Tell us where things stand and we will look at your options.
