Graduate Immigration Route – Under Review

Three graduates in caps and gowns standing next to each other.

 

The Graduate Visa, introduced in 2021, allowing international graduates to stay in the UK for an additional two years post-study, is now under review. The Government has announced that it will be asking the Migration Advisory Committee to review the route following questions about the route’s effectiveness, potential abuse, and the future career paths available to international graduates.

This review underscores the government’s commitment to ensuring that the Graduate visa route aligns with the UK’s best interests and does not inadvertently contribute to labour market imbalances. Businesses relying on international talent will need to monitor these developments closely, considering their implications for future recruitment strategies.

Convenient Pricing

Jan Manuel Solicitors operates   fixed fee prices for cases and you will be informed at the onset once we have completed an initial assessment with you how much our fee is for your case. The costs vary according to the complexity of the case, and you do not pay for the initial assessment of your case when you come to the first appointment and you are under no obligation to become our client. If you decide to become our client the time spent in the first consultation will form part of the fixed fee for the case. You will pay a deposit in order to have ‘a retainer’, sign a contract between us and you, and before we submit your application, or conclude your case, you will pay the balance due. If the case is ongoing you will be issued with interim bills to pay towards your fixed fee costs.

On some occasions you will be charged an hourly basis, you will be advised in advance if this applies to you. The fixed fees does not include disbursements.  Disbursements are expenses that we pay on your behalf including but not limited to barrister’s fees, experts reports, Home Office fees and Court/Tribunal fees. We will only incur disbursements on your behalf with your consent. All disbursements are in addition to the fixed fee.

We are offering a first free initial consultation. All you have to do is provide your details on the contact page and we will call you.  After the initial call, if you wish to proceed with obtaining further advice, we will arrange free of charge first Zoom consultation to complete an initial assessment of your case.
