Immigration Status Report

As shortages of highly skilled staff become more acute, employers in the UK are increasingly looking abroad to fill growing demands for skilled workers.

To assist in this regard, UK immigration specialists DavidsonMorris Solicitors have created the Immigration Status Report (ISR). The ISR is a service that helps facilitate recruitment from skilled labour markets around the world by providing a detailed assessment, explanation, and verification of an overseas candidate's eligibility to work and live in the UK.

Benefits

UK immigration law is complex, restrictive and is currently undergoing major changes. Knowing the best route into the UK is often difficult and as a result many excellent candidates are overlooked. The ISR, through a detailed assessment of a candidate's qualifications, skills, salary, personal circumstances etc, produces a comprehensive report detailing all the potential immigration routes into the UK, bespoke to that individual.

What is included in an ISR

  • an ISR Certificate which confirms which visa categories the candidate is eligible for. The ISR can be attached to a candidate's CV which assists the HR manager when the candidate CV's lands on their desk
  • a report detailing the visa categories and how to obtain the visa
  • NARIC verification of a candidate's qualifications showing how they compare to UK standards. NARIC is the official international qualifications comparison service recognised by the British government and companies in the UK
  • information about the documents to collate to support a candidate's permit/visa application
  • details of the restrictions and conditions attached to the candidate's visa
  • information about how to apply for visa extensions and settlement in the UK
  • if applicable, the report will include detailed information about how a candidate's family or dependents can immigrate to the UK
  • optional summary reports detailing a candidate's eligibility for American, Australian and Canadian immigration routes

This up-front assessment ensures that:

  • the potential employer can be comfortable knowing that the candidate under consideration has legal routes into the UK
  • these routes will be detailed and can be used to guide employers ensuring that the confusion over the most appropriate routes into the UK is removed
  • qualifications gained at overseas institutions are of equivalent UK degree standard - often a determining factor in the immigration process
  • professional references are available to be taken by both the employer and immigration officials
  • the employer and candidate are aware of the documents required and steps to be taken to ensure a successful immigration application
  • as required, assistance from DavidsonMorris Solicitors to secure the appropriate visa

The ISR team is always happy to assist the employer's HR department by processing the candidates' immigration application.
