An immigration lawyer can help you identify the most suitable UK work visa route, check whether you meet the requirements and prepare supporting evidence. They may also advise on sponsorship, dependants, application deadlines and potential issues in your immigration history. You can review the relevant requirements on GOV.UK, but rules and eligible occupations can change, so consider getting advice from a solicitor regulated by the SRA or another appropriately regulated immigration adviser. The final decision rests with the Home Office, based on your individual circumstances.
