Aston Brooke Solicitors is a fast moving, innovative and niche firm dedicated to the ethical practice of Immigration Law. Specialising in this area enables the firm to stay ahead in the ever changing world of Immigration Law, providing a mixture of best practice and commercial advice to clients.
The firm has been established to provide clear, transparent advice to all our clients and protect the interests of OFWs.
Historically, OFWs and their families have always thought that visa applications from the Philippines have to be made through agencies in the Philippines and could not be made from the UK but this is not the case.
Although, the option is available to seek advice from agencies operating in the Philippines or OFWs applying in their own right OFWs have always had the option to get the visa applications prepared by specialist solicitors in the UK.
The main advantage is that the visa application and relevant documents can be verified and thoroughly checked before being lodged by the OFW to the British Embassy. Furthermore, this practice removes the majority of the room for error more commonly seen in visa applications made from the Philippines and therefore reducing the rate of refusals.
We have found that the majority of clients that we advise from the Philippines have faced problems with their visa applications and only seek expert advice from solicitors in the UK once the visa application has been refused but this can all change.
We have provided a checklist for potential visa applicants which need to be carefully followed to ensure that the visa application has the maximum chance of being approved:
1. Collect as much evidence as possible relating to your application
2. Do you require a sponsor in the UK?
3. Do you have enough funds to maintain and accommodate yourself and any dependents in the UK without recourse to public funds?
4. Seek expert advice from specialist Solicitors in the UK to verify and check your documents
OFWs need to be aware that there is an opportunity for them to have the visa applications prepared in the UK which may be something that they were ignorant to.
