Case Background
Asad first came to the UK to pursue his education in accounting. He earned a BSc in Accounting from Oxford Brookes University, followed by a Master’s in Accounting and Finance from Anglia Ruskin University.
As a qualified ACCA accountant, he began his professional career with a London-based accounting firm under the Skilled Worker visa route. Over time, he progressed in his career and made the UK his permanent home. He later secured Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR) and then British citizenship.
Asad eventually founded his own practice, Fiscal Hub, Chartered Certified Accountants and Tax Advisors, which is now well established. While he was building his business in the UK, his wife and children remained in Pakistan. The family had spent some time living apart, and Asad’s priority was clear. He wanted to reunite with his family permanently.
With one child already in school and the other preparing to start, timing was critical. The family hoped to relocate in time for the start of the new UK school term.
The Challenges
- Tight Submission Deadline: The family needed to move before the school term began, which meant the visa application had to be prepared and submitted quickly.
- Self-Employed Sponsor: Asad’s status as a business owner added complexity, he needed to provide a broader set of documents than someone in standard employment.
- Proving Genuine Family Life: After a period of long-distance living, the Home Office would require strong evidence of ongoing family ties and intent to live together permanently.
- Meeting Accommodation Criteria: Although Asad had already arranged accommodation, he needed to ensure it met the Home Office’s requirements for a family of four and was properly documented.
