Please note that it is no longer possible to apply for long residence applications on a same day basis. Such applications have to be dealt with by post and can take months of processing time.
If you would like help with any of these applications please contact the workpermit.com London Office. Please note that we only have a limited number of slots at UKBA each week. It is best to book as far in advance as possible. If you qualify for a particular immigration category you should consider applying sooner rather than later. The new UK Government intends to make immigration to the UK more difficult in future.
