Immigration law advice for nanny


Fi12

Recommended Posts

Hi,


We have a wonderful nanny from New Zealand, who we would like to look into sponsoring as an employee to stay in the UK for a while longer. Her existing 2 year visa is due to expire in the new year. Can anyone recommend an immigration lawyer or visa agency who we could talk to to get some initial advice please?


Many thanks,

Fiona

ILPA ( Immigration Law Practitioners? Association ) has a search facility for finding immigration lawyers. There are a mix of charities and private practice solicitors and OISC-registered advisers.

Personally (having been involved in refugee practice) I would recommend Wesley Gryk Solicitors [http://www.gryklaw.com/] in Lower Marsh. Very knowledgeable and experienced, involved in training for professional CPD requirements.


Another option (a charity) would be the Migrants' Resource Centre (http://www.migrantsresourcecentre.org.uk/).


Fisher Meredith are also very good, but seem to have moved from Kennington to High Holborn (http://www.fishermeredith.co.uk/)

    • I tell you what, I've answered every question you've posed to me on this thread so far, so before you deflect any further, why don't you address the simple questions I've put to you several times first. Here, give them a go: Who has been pressurising the emergency services and how? Do you genuinely believe that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the square due to inadequate signage?  
    • Which original consultation?    Err be careful with the expert opinion and data part.....if you think the cycle lobby and Aldred et al is the sole source of sound opinion on such issues! 😉 And this is where they fell foul of the law and had to re-run the consultation. It actually casts huge doubt on a lot of previous consultations (including the latest DV one) as they do not pass the legal watermark because they do not provide a yes/no response. The council are terrified of a judicial review because, I suspect under legal advice, they know they cheated the system in many previous consultations. Do you remember when the council claimed they had a mandate for the CPZs because of some seriously dodgy research conducted with a large tranche of students in the north of the borough in 2018.....
    • Perhaps the issue is that Southwark don’t listen. They didn’t take account of responses. The proposed CPZs for west Dulwich  stopped when the Council was threatened with a judicial review. Not before. Whatever consultation process was worse than flawed with McAsh arguing that because they were in power, they had a mandate and didn’t need to listen to anyone’s views, rendering any democratic process void. The criteria for LTNs was high population density, high public transport usage and low car ownership so Dulwich Village was a perfect candidate…not. Just a coincidence but I believe some councillors live within the scheme 
    • We’re looking to buy a house in ED (3 Bed, 1,100 sq ft type). Quite a few we’ve found on Landells Road, Pellatt Road and Jennings Road are half houses. Does anyone have a view or any experiences of living/buying a half house?
