Immigration Services

London View Chambers offers specialist UK immigration advice and representation across the full range of UK immigration law. Whether you need help preparing a visa application, challenging a Home Office refusal, or appearing before the Immigration Tribunal, our barristers bring clarity and expertise to every case.

Personal Immigration

We work with individuals and families on a wide variety of personal immigration matters. From the first application right through to appeals, we provide straightforward advice and dedicated support.

Spouse Visa, Partner Visa, and Family Visa

We help couples and families navigate the UK family visa rules around joining loved ones in the UK. Whether you are applying for entry clearance from abroad, extending a spouse visa, or seeking indefinite leave to remain, we guide you through the requirements around finances, accommodation, and proving your relationship.

Skilled Worker Visa and Work Visas

We advise individuals looking to work in the UK under routes such as the Skilled Worker visa, Global Business Mobility, and other work visa categories. Our barristers offer practical guidance on meeting the sponsorship requirements and ensuring your application is ready for submission.

Student Visa and Graduate Visa

We assist students and recent graduates with applications under the Student route and Graduate route, making sure your visa application is properly prepared and that you understand how it fits with your long term plans.

Indefinite Leave to Remain and British Citizenship

We support clients applying for settlement and British citizenship, including help with the Life in the UK test, English language requirements, and ensuring your indefinite leave to remain or citizenship application stands the best chance of success.

Human Rights Claim and Asylum Claim

Where a refusal would interfere with family or private life, we advise on human rights claims under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. We also assist with asylum claims and applications for humanitarian protection.

Business Immigration

We support employers, HR teams, and organisations of all sizes with their business immigration needs, from recruitment to ongoing compliance.

Sponsor Licence Application

We guide businesses through the process of applying for a sponsor licence, making sure your sponsor licence application is complete and supported by the right evidence. We also help with sponsor licence renewals and ongoing licence management.

Sponsorship Duties and Compliance

We advise on visa applications for sponsored employees, including Skilled Worker visas and those under Global Business Mobility routes. Our barristers help ensure that applications are accurate and compliant with Home Office rules from start to finish.

Home Office Compliance Visit and Civil Penalty

If your business is facing a Home Office compliance visit or has received a civil penalty for employing someone without the right to work, we provide expert support and representation to help protect your business.

Immigration Appeals and Judicial Review

When a Home Office refusal comes through, time matters. We move quickly to assess the decision and advise on the best way forward.

Immigration Tribunal Appeal

We represent clients in the First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal for immigration appeals against refusals, deportation orders, and other immigration decisions. Our barristers draft clear grounds of appeal, prepare legal submissions, and appear at hearings to put your case forward.

Judicial Review

Where there is no right of appeal or where the Home Office has acted unlawfully, we advise on bringing a judicial review claim in the High Court. Our barristers have extensive experience in public law challenges to immigration decisions.

How to Instruct Us

We are immigration barristers, which means our focus is on specialist advice and strong advocacy. We accept instructions in two ways.

Direct Access Barrister

Members of the public can come to us directly without going through a solicitor through our direct access scheme. We handle your case from start to finish, providing advice, preparing documents, and representing you in court as needed.

Professional Clients

We also work closely with solicitors and other legal professionals who instruct us to provide specialist immigration advice or advocacy for their clients.

Whichever route you choose, you will work with a barrister who takes the time to understand your situation and gives clear, practical advice. We prepare thoroughly, communicate clearly, and stand by you for as long as you need us.
