With the constantly changing rules and developing case law, it is one of the most complex areas of immigration law. Such that success or failure of your application will very frequently depend upon the way in which your case is presented by your legal representative deploying the ever changing case law of the domestic courts as well as the European Court of Human Rights. We have a wealth of expertise and experience of conducting human rights cases at every level from initial application to appeals to the Immigration Tribunal, judicial review applications previously to the High Court and now to the Upper Tribunal, appeals to the Court of Appeal and applications to the European Court of human Rights.

If you have a child who was born in the UK and has lived in the UK for 10 years or more, they may be able to apply for British citizenship, even if you do not have leave to remain in the United Kingdom. If you have been in the UK for a very long time and you are a citizen of certain countries (e.g. former colonies of the Empire or commonwealth countries), you may already have a form of British Nationality or British citizenship without realising it.
