Immigration Adviser Reading
You may know what you want your future in Reading to look like, without knowing which immigration option best supports it.
Perhaps your employer is discussing sponsorship while you are also considering an application with your partner. You might be approaching the end of your studies, weighing up a new role or wondering whether your existing permission still suits your circumstances.
Knightsbridge Immigration helps you identify the questions that matter before you commit to an application. We provide immigration advice in Reading through online consultations, with in-person consultations available by appointment.
Start with a Free Case Assessment. You can explain your circumstances without having documents ready.
More than one possibility deserves a proper comparison
Finding information about two possible routes does not necessarily tell you which one is appropriate for you.
An employment-based option may involve decisions and responsibilities for your employer. A family application will involve a different set of circumstances and evidence. Your current permission, application history and longer-term intentions may also affect the assessment.
The useful starting point is your situation as a whole.
Tell us what options you have heard about and why you are considering them. We can establish what needs further investigation and whether detailed advice would help you make an informed decision.
Where a comparison requires substantive advice, we will explain the proposed work and fees before you instruct us. The Free Case Assessment establishes the enquiry and next step; it does not replace a detailed assessment of every possible route.
Living in Reading, working across the Thames Valley
Reading’s technology and business-services economy sits within a wider employment area connected to London and the M4 corridor. Your home, employer’s office and usual workplace may therefore be in different places.
For an immigration enquiry, explain the actual arrangement. Who employs you? Where do you normally work? Is a move being proposed within the same organisation, or are you accepting a position with a different employer?
An internal announcement or a familiar company name may not answer all those questions. If you are uncertain about the employing organisation or the proposed change, tell us what you have been given so far.
We can identify the information needed to assess your enquiry. Where employer involvement is required, we will explain which matters need their input rather than leaving you to guess.
Think about the household alongside the application
A decision that works for one person may leave unanswered questions for their partner or children.
You might be changing employment while your partner’s permission approaches expiry. A child may have a different immigration history from the adults. Someone in the household may be thinking about settlement while another person still needs an extension.
Explain who needs advice and what permission each person currently holds. Include relevant dates where you know them, but do not delay contacting us because one detail is missing.
If your enquiry covers several family members, we will make clear who any proposed service includes. That helps you understand the work being agreed and any questions that require separate attention.
You can come forward before everything is decided
You do not need a confirmed job offer, a completed application or an organised folder before speaking with us.
Sometimes the reason for seeking advice is precisely that you have not made the decision yet.
For students and graduates in Reading, that could mean understanding what needs checking before relying on an employer’s offer. For couples, it could mean discussing the immigration questions around plans to live together. For someone already established here, it may mean deciding when to seek advice about their next application.
Describe the decision you are facing, what is confirmed and what remains uncertain. We will ask relevant follow-up questions.
What happens if you instruct Knightsbridge?
Depending on your circumstances and our authorised scope, the appropriate service may involve advice, document assessment or application preparation.
Before paid work begins, we will explain what the instruction covers, the fees and what we need from you. If evidence is required, we will explain what it needs to establish.
You should leave that discussion understanding the proposed next step and who is responsible for it.
