U.K. Business Visa

Our client is a very successful and innovative technology company that expanded to the U.K.   As a result, they needed executives and managers to travel frequently to the U.K., at times for extended periods of time.

Initially, these executives and managers were traveling as business visitors without a visa stamp.  However, after multiple entries a U.K. immigration officer advised that in the future, they might be denied admission unless they had the appropriate business visa.   

When travelers are refused entry, the U.K. authorities usually order the applicant for admission returned to the airport from which they last departed, regardless of nationality or place of residence.  Neither the U.S. Government nor the U.S. Embassy in London can intervene on the applicant's behalf.

We worked with our client to evaluate the case and identify the proper visa, prepared the applications and supporting documents and guided them through the visa application process. A few weeks later, the first U.K. Business Visitor Visa was issued to one of the company's executive.   Now, he is ready to travel to and from the U.K. for two years without having to worry about not being admitted or detained in secondary inspection.
