Immigration and Nationality

We understand that immigration clients can be vulnerable, and experience difficulties in accessing legal services.

Immigration & Nationality Services

Fidanci Law Ltd provides expert advice and representation across the full spectrum of UK Immigration and Nationality Law. We assist clients with visa applications, extensions of leave, settlement (Indefinite Leave to Remain), naturalisation and British citizenship applications, family migration, private and long residence routes, ECAA matters, and complex, discretionary, or urgent immigration cases.

Immigration issues often affect individuals and families at profoundly important moments in their lives. We understand the emotional, financial, and practical impact of these matters. Our role is to guide you through the process with clarity, professionalism, and unwavering commitment—ensuring every application is prepared with exceptional care and attention to detail.

Our Expertise

We maintain a high level of technical proficiency across all areas of immigration law and keep fully up to date with developments in:

The UK Immigration Rules and Appendix provisions
Home Office policy guidance and procedural instructions
First-tier Tribunal and Upper Tribunal case law
Nationality law and legislative reform
Private Life and Long Residence routes
Settlement requirements and continuous residence rules
Family migration, spouse/partner routes, and dependent applications

Continuous professional development ensures our advice remains accurate, strategic, and aligned with current legal standards and Home Office practices.

Our knowledge extends beyond the rules themselves: we understand how the Home Office assesses evidence, identifies inconsistencies, evaluates risk factors, and applies discretionary or suitability criteria. This enables us to prepare applications that are robust, well-evidenced, and persuasive.

Supporting Vulnerable Clients

We acknowledge that many immigration clients may face significant challenges, including:

Language barriers
Mental or physical health difficulties
Disabilities
Past trauma, persecution, or domestic abuse
Financial hardship
Limited access to digital systems
Cultural isolation
Family conflict or safeguarding risks

In line with the SRA Code of Conduct, Law Society guidance, and the Equality Act 2010, we take proactive steps to:

Identify vulnerability at the earliest opportunity
Put reasonable adjustments in place (communication support, flexible appointments, additional time for instructions, etc.)
Provide clear, simple explanations of legal concepts and processes
Protect clients who may be at risk of acting against their own interests
Recognise cultural, linguistic, and religious sensitivities
Take safeguarding steps where required
Prioritise trauma-informed practice, particularly with asylum, domestic violence, and human-rights-based applications

Every client is treated with dignity, respect, patience, and understanding, regardless of background or circumstance.
