We can assist you with all aspects of immigration law. This includes any problems concerning visiting, working, studying, settling or conducting business in the UK.

Why Choose Us for Immigration

SJS Solicitors is an accredited member of the Law Society’s Immigration & Asylum Accreditation Scheme. This is awarded to firms who have an extremely thorough understanding of the UK's immigration and asylum laws. SJS Solicitors are proud to hold Level 2 membership, and our Principal Solicitor, Mrs. Sukul, holds supervisor status with over 17 years of experience fighting for her client's immigration rights. SJS Solicitors have been accredited since January 2006.

We are fully aware of the fact that the United Kingdom immigration laws are ever changing and can be very complex. It is therefore essential that you consult us for specalist legal advice before making any application that concerns any aspect of immigration law and the UK.


We can help you to apply for UK Ancestry Visas, which, if successful would allow you come to the UK to live with a view to settlement after five years. There are certain criteria which you must fulfil to be successful in this category. You must obtain entry clearance for this application and as such an application cannot be made from within the UK.

SJS Solicitors have been accredited by the Law Society at both a Level 2 and a Supervisor Level for Immigration and Asylum cases and as such are very well placed to give your application the highest chance for success.

As a guideline, generally to be successful in application under this category requires the following criteria below to be met:

  • The applicant is a Commonwealth Citizen
  • The applicant is aged 17 years and over
  • The applicant can prove a relationship by blood or recognised adoption with a grandparent born in the UK
  • The applicant is able to work and intends to accept or seek employment in the UK

The above are guidelines requirements but there are other requirements which will be dealt with once we are instructed. When our immigration team at SJS Solicitors submit these applications on behalf of our clients we always ensure that in each and every case that all potential and available evidence is properly sought, pursued, obtained, and assessed before any application is submitted to the Home Office. Further we continue to represent you after the application has been submitted to the best of our ability. Your application is prepared comprehensively and you are assisted through the entire application process.
