Change your immigration status in the United Kingdom: professional legal assistance
If there is a change in the applicant's circumstances — marriage, completion of studies, change of job or expiry of the current visa — it may be necessary to change your immigration status in the United Kingdom.
The lawyers at the Consultant legal marketplace accompany clients at every stage of the process, from analysing possible options to preparing the relevant application and accompanying documents.
Legal support when applying for a change of visa type
Applying for a change of visa type requires compliance with a number of procedural requirements. The Consultant team:
- conducts an individual assessment of the client's immigration situation;
provides advice on the advisability of switching, for example, from a Student Visa to a Skilled Worker Visa or from a Family Visa to Indefinite Leave to Remain;
compiles a complete set of documents for submission to the UKVI (Home Office);
performs a legal check of the accuracy of the application form and evidence.
The aim is to minimise the risk of refusal due to procedural errors or incomplete data.
Preparation of documents for changing immigration status
One of the most common reasons for refusal is an incomplete or incorrectly compiled package of documents. Our specialists:
- compile a list of necessary evidence based on the type of visa selected;
assist with the preparation of documents confirming sponsorship, income, marital status or intentions to remain in the United Kingdom;
prepare accompanying letters justifying the change of status.
The prepared package of documents complies with Home Office standards and takes into account the latest updates to immigration law.
Changing immigration status without leaving the United Kingdom: is it possible?

- check whether it is permitted to switch between selected visa categories within the country;
- provide explanations regarding the requirements for length of stay, financial indicators and confirmation of intention to remain;
- accompany the client until the entire process is completed, including the submission of biometric data.
