Immigration Advisor Recommendations?

Hello all,

I am in need of finding a recommendation advisor. I know of the site: https://home.oisc.gov.uk/register_of_regulated_immigration_advisers/register.aspx to find them all. But being qualified does not represent a good advisor who is willing to communicate.

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend one or agency in a PM or reply. Or lead me to other forums that may be able to recommend one.

My visa process is going to get complicated, and I want to ensure we do everything correctly. Our original plans are not available to us.

Thanks.

If you have serious criminal convictions or an overstay, is when you should use a good lawyer.

There are only two we recommend.  Medivisas who has offices in London (reasonably priced) and Laura Devine who has offices both in the USA and UK (very expensive).  The more complicated the criminal conviction, the more we would recommend Laura Devine.

If you don't have a criminal conviction or overstay, I'd encourage you to save the money.  The application is a tick box visa, if you tick the boxes, you get the visa. 

I have no criminal past, the situation with my husband has become complicated though. He is carer for his mother, but trying to stay in the same house is just putting stress on them both. So he is looking into getting a flat separate within 1-mile of parents' house to keep carer status.

Thank you for leads. I will look into both.

There is no requirement for the carer to live with the person they are caring for. However there is a limit to the amount of money the carer can earn.

Eligibility

The person you care for
The person you care for must already get one of these benefits:

Personal Independence Payment - daily living component
Disability Living Allowance - the middle or highest care rate
Attendance Allowance
Constant Attendance Allowance at or above the normal maximum rate with an Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
Constant Attendance Allowance at the basic (full day) rate with a War Disablement Pension
Armed Forces Independence Payment
Your eligibility
All of the following must apply:

you’re 16 or over
you spend at least 35 hours a week caring for someone
you’ve been in England, Scotland or Wales for at least 2 of the last 3 years (this does not apply if you’re a refugee or have humanitarian protection status)
you normally live in England, Scotland or Wales, or you live abroad as a member of the armed forces (you might still be eligible if you’re moving to or already living in an EEA country or Switzerland)
you’re not in full-time education
you’re not studying for 21 hours a week or more
you’re not subject to immigration control
your earnings are £123 or less a week after tax, National Insurance and expenses
If your earnings are sometimes more than £123 a week you might still be eligible for Carer’s Allowance. Your average earnings may be calculated to work out if you’re eligible.
Calculating your earnings
Your earnings are any income from employment and self-employment after tax, National Insurance and expenses.

Expenses can include:

50% of your pension contributions
equipment you need to do your job, for example specialist clothing
travel costs between different workplaces that are not paid for by your employer, for example fuel or train fares
business costs if you’re self-employed, for example a computer you only use for work
If you pay a carer to look after the disabled person or your children while you work, you can treat care costs that are less than or equal to 50% of your earnings as an expense. The carer must not be your spouse, partner, parent, child or sibling.

Example
You earn £100 a week (after tax, National Insurance and other expenses) and spend £60 a week on care while you work. You can treat £50 of this as an expense.
Payments that do not count as earnings include:

money received from pensions
contributions towards your living or accommodation costs from someone you live with (they cannot be a tenant or boarder)
the first £20 a week and 50% of the rest of any income you make from someone boarding in your home
a loan or advance payment from your employer
If you’re not eligible
You might be eligible for Carer’s Credit if you’re not eligible for Carer’s Allowance.
