    This work covers applications connected with the UK post‑study work route that allowed graduates to stay in the country after finishing their studies. A solicitor helps clients assess eligibility, prepare and submit the Home Office application, gather evidence on qualifications, finances and study, and respond to any requests for further information. They also advise on switching to other visa routes if the Graduate Route or similar offers are available, and on deadlines and refusals.

    Vladimir Mikeljevic Your solicitor Vladimir Mikeljevic Partner 5.0 from 43 client reviews
    “I reached out to Vladimir for advice on a student visa. He was extremely prompt and precise in his replies, and was very generous with his time to understand my situation and give early advice on the process. My partner ultimately decided to proceed with her application without advice, but I will most certainly engage Vladimir in future applications as I found his approach highly professional and trustworthy.”

Personally, I think I wouldn't be able to succeed in obtaining my citizenship without her knowledge and constant feedback. Thank you so much for everything!! And apologies for being too annoying with my constant emails and doubts.”
