Welcome to LARHDEL LAW UK IMMIGRATION

Trusted UK Immigration Attorneys for Individuals and Businesses in the U.S. and Worldwide

The UK remains one of the most sought-after destinations for skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, families, and investors. But in 2025, the immigration landscape has changed significantly. New rules, higher salary thresholds, stricter English language standards, and revised visa categories mean applicants need clear legal guidance more than ever before. At LARHDEL LAW, we make UK immigration straightforward, strategic, and achievable.

Whether you’re moving for work, joining family, expanding your business, or exploring investment opportunities, our team provides tailored legal support that aligns with the latest immigration laws and policies.

Key Updates in UK Immigration Law (2025)

The Statement of Changes HC 997, introduced in mid-2025, reshaped many work and business immigration routes. Here are the most important updates affecting new applicants:

Higher Salary Thresholds:
The minimum salary for Skilled Worker visas has increased to approximately £41,700, with several previously eligible mid-level roles removed from the list. Employers and applicants must now meet stricter sponsorship requirements.
Stronger English Language Requirements:
From January 2026, applicants under the Skilled Worker, High Potential Individual, and Scale-Up routes must meet the B2 English language level (equivalent to A-Level standard).
Settlement (ILR) Criteria Changing:
The government has proposed extending the qualifying period for settlement from 5 years to 10 years for many visa categories, making early planning and strategic application even more important.
Graduate Visa Changes:
The Graduate Route will now allow only 18 months of post-study stay, encouraging faster transition to sponsored work visas.
Shortage Occupation List Updates:
Many roles in the care and logistics sectors are now under a Temporary Shortage List with limited sponsorship flexibility. The previous social care visa route is being phased out.

These changes reflect the UK’s shift toward a skills-driven and innovation-focused immigration system. Applicants who understand the new rules – and work with experienced immigration attorneys – have a far stronger chance of approval.

Each of these routes has unique requirements for financial evidence, language ability, and timing. A well-planned application strategy is essential to avoid refusal and delays.

Visa Options for Individuals and Families

Our firm helps individuals, professionals, and families understand their eligibility and build strong applications. Some of the most common routes include:

Skilled Worker Visa:
For individuals with a qualifying job offer from a licensed UK sponsor, meeting updated salary and skills thresholds. Ideal for healthcare professionals, IT specialists, engineers, and other skilled roles.
High Potential Individual (HPI) Visa:
For top graduates from globally recognized universities, allowing flexible work options without sponsorship for a limited time.
Graduate Route:
For recent international graduates seeking temporary work authorization after completing studies in the UK.
Family and Spouse Visas:
For partners, spouses, and dependents of UK residents or citizens. Note: minimum income thresholds have increased under the new rules.
Visitor and Short-Stay Visas:
For family visits, tourism, and short-term business or personal trips.

Visa Options for Businesses and Entrepreneurs

The UK continues to welcome global business leaders and investors — but with more structured compliance and oversight. Our team supports:

Innovator Founder Visa:
For entrepreneurs who are establishing innovative businesses with credible business plans. Unlike the previous Start-Up route, this visa emphasizes sustainable growth.
Global Business Mobility Routes:
For multinational companies transferring senior executives, specialists, or expanding operations in the UK.
Sponsorship Licensing & Compliance:
For employers who wish to sponsor Skilled Workers. We assist with license applications, audits, and ongoing compliance.
Business Visitor Visa:
This is for short-term business activities such as meetings, negotiations, or market exploration.
Expansion Worker Visas:
For businesses opening a new UK branch or subsidiary.

These routes allow companies to access UK markets, build partnerships, and attract global talent. With the tighter sponsorship regulations now in effect, legal precision matters more than ever.
