This section provides details of how we can support you in making further representations to the Home Office. Our Immigration Advisors are equipped with the skills and knowledge to tackle your case and provide the correct solution to your problems.    We are able to carry out Administrative Reviews on all PBS applications. At this level, ICS Legal can undertake more complex applications in selective categories which include applications outside the Immigration Rules and applications under Home Office concessionary or discretionary policies. British Nationality and Citizenship is another area where we can undertake some complex cases. As a regulated legal firm, we are also able to undertake some selective complex cases which include legal grounds in addition to the immigration rules, such grounds may be domestic violence cases, various concession cases, and further representations to the Home Office. 

Exceptional leave

'Exceptional leave to remain' was another type of permission to stay. Home Office no longer gives applicants exceptional leave to remain. If you are currently in the UK with valid exceptional leave to remain, you can apply to settle here in the UK by completing the correct application form with supporting documents.

Our Promise

At ICS Legal we understand that clients sometimes do not meet the requirements of the Immigration Rules, or have breached their immigration conditions and require advice on what to do next. We promise to provide honest, practical advice and guide you through the process of regularising your stay in the UK . There may be cheaper and practical solutions that we can discuss.  

Call us today on 0844 800 3919 to book a consultation with one of our legal advisor. You can also e-mail us on info@icslegal.com.   Our Immigration Advisors have detailed knowledge of Immigration and Nationality law, including:

1.       Grounds for applications.  2.       UKBA practice in the consideration of cases.  3.       UKBA concessionary policies.  4.       Grounds for lodging appeals including human rights grounds.  5.       British Nationality.  6.       Administrative reviews on all point based applications.  7.       Procedures for human rights applications, e.g. One-Stop Notices.

Where an application has been submitted and you require further representations to be made to the Home Office, ICS Legal can carry this out. We have an upto date working knowledge of relevant case laws and precedents and can access and use them effectively when making representations on behalf of the clients.   We have detailed knowledge of the types of evidence needed to support applications outside the Immigration Rules and how to obtain them, and also the relative weight to be attached to different types of evidence.   Just as importantly our knowledge of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA) and other relevant law allow us to present a case to the Home Office where we feel there is an argument in this point of law and use relevant case laws to support our arguments.   We have a clear understanding and knowledge of immigration and nationality law and have procedures in place to ensure that we submit a successful case to the Home Office.
